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)

Life is creative. If you look at children you can see this so clearly. Everything is of interest, everything is exciting. It is the adults who are dull, unless of course, they feel passionate about something. But even that fire burns our with every decade that goes by, covered by all the dust and psychological baggage that accumulates. We are dulled by our fears,  burdened by our worries, distracted by our open or suppressed aggression. 'Be ye as little children', Jesus says. I believe you can get to this stage. Life invites you moment by moment to join in this creative act. 

Every decade computers become more powerful, already you can talk to a robot on your phone or in your car. We humans have to specialize in what we do best, to be human: communication, connection, creativity and care. No matter how long robots will evolve, they will never reach this creative spark that is always at our disposal. Communicating and connecting with others, finding this creative spark that expresses our divinity. You experience that Devine connection especially when you care for others.

Why do you think addiction and the use of anti-depressants is so rampant? Because we have lost this connection to this spark inside. You feel that something is missing but you do not know what. In agony you try to dull your senses to make your pain go away. The good news is your Devine core never goes away, the magic connection of the Tao is always present. Embrace life whole-heartedly and the Tao will show you the journey home. It will ask you to backtrack your steps. You will have to face the ugliness inside, the fears, the aggression, the open as well as suppressed desires, but it can be done. Yes, there will be a little turbulence along the way but before you know it you break through the clouds. Creativity is yours to discover, always.

 One day I was driving and saw a license plate with the letter 'U'. Immediately my mind jumped to the question, 'Yes, what about me?' I looked at the numbers and followed the methodology of numerology to add all digits until only one number is reached   (24 + 11 = 35 becomes 8) so it turned out that the number associated with this license plate was 8, my birth number (you get your birth number in the same way, adding the day, month and year you were born until you are left with a single digit). 'So where is the information in that?', I asked myself and drove on until I reached the next car which had ME written on it. Naturally, I thought that this license plate must be referring to God. Again I added up the numbers on the plate and they added to 2, the symbol of love. 'Oh, I thought, U and Me meet today (8 and 2 add in numerology to 1 which happened to be the number of the day, 3/29/2012) or put differently, surrounded by God's love, I am the Son of God as represented symbolically by the number 1.

I am not asking you to go out and seek hidden messages in license plate numbers. I encourage you to look out for this Force you are connected with. And when you do there is so much joy, so much laughter and so much creativity. 'Be ye as little children'; is a Child's play really.
