Diversity In Creativities

We always struggle to create a new thing. Perhaps, there is a major diversity in creativity. Painting, music, literature, romantic and factual, all the architecture and the marvels of technologies are generally called creativity which is man-made. The painters, writers, poets probably consider themselves creative. We all seem to agree with that popular idea of a creative person. Many man-made things are beautiful, the great cathedrals, the buildings and we know nothing of the people who built them.

Yet most man-made creativity, as we call it, takes place from the known. Although writers and philosophers developed their own style and they were always moving, acting or writing, from that which they had accumulated-the known. This we generally called creativity.

Is that really creative? Or is there a different kind of creativity which is born out of the freedom from the known? Because when we paint, write, or create a marvelous structure out of stone, it is based on the accumulated knowledge carried from the past to the present. Now, is their creativity totally different from the activity that we generally call creativity?

Generally we start with the known and from that we create, but is there a creative impulse or movement taking place that can use the known. In that state of mind, creation, as we know it, may not be necessary. I think we can all have this extraordinary mind which is really free from burdens that the man has imposed upon us.

Out of that rationality, healthy mind, something totally different comes which may not necessarily be expressed as painting, literature or architecture. Why should it? If you go into this fairly deeply, you will find that there is a state of mind which actually has no experience whatsoever. Experience implies a mind that is still groping, asking, seeking and therefore struggling in darkness and wanting to go beyond itself.

There is a complete and total answer to the question if we apply our minds and our hearts to it. There is a creativity which is not man-made. If the mind is extraordinarily clear without a shadow of conflict, then it is really in a state of creation and it needs no expression, no fulfillment, no publicity and no nonsense.

Special and huge thanks to Darkrose who put her views in this article about creativity.
