On Creativity

'It seems that, in some way, each person has to discover what it means to be original and creative. After all, the child like quality of fresh, wholehearted interest is not in any of us. It comes in a small burst, and then it gets lost in confusion as the old special interests, fears, desires, aims, securities, pleasures, and pains come up from the past.
(David Bohm)

I have a weird hobby, I study license plate numbers of cars that pass by for little messages from the Source. Today I saw 'U' which I took as a message for me and when I calculated the number ( in numerology you add numbers until you get a single digit) I came up with 8, which happens to be my birth number. I thought that this message was disappointingly obvious and when I drove by the next car, I saw 'ME', which I took for God, the Tao, or however else you want to call this Force we are interacting with. When I calculated the number on this license plate I came up with 2, which is a symbol of love. Yes, I thought to myself, me (8) and God's love (2) add to the number of the day, which happens to be 1. (10=1=3+29+2012) God's love also make me the Son of God which is represented by 1 as well. 

You may read this and think that at best I am delusional and at worst insane, and I don't mind that at all. What I would point out, however, is that I get an unbelievable number of little gems delivered this way to the point that the odds of my reading meaning into randomness are 0 rounded up. Try to find your own idiosyncratic way of communicating with the Tao. When you do, a new world of creativity will open up, and this communication will be as difficult or as easy as you like it to be. Sometimes I think that is how childhood must feel like, infinite fun and infinite connectedness. Just look out for it, you can't miss it.
