In short:
The individual's
creativity or collective creativity is parallel of the natures creativity (growth of life, birth of children etc), and
is the response of the human spirit to the divine creativity.
Creativity
is probably the most complete expression of our spirituality. Creativity is to
be respected and desired both in the life of the individual and in collective
social activities.
Creativity
may act as norm and discipline in daily life and facilitates individuation.
Creativity may cure alienation. Creativity is to be understood in many forms
1)
In activities and business
2) In human relations
3) Producing art-products or
scientific products, like paintings, music, sculpture, books, dancing, theatre,
other performances, technological inventions, scientific discoveries etc
In creativity there is the opportunity to seek for excellence and pioneering peak
performance.
Creativity
may be regressive or progressive. Creativity, if progressive, it is to be compatible with healing
nature, society and the individual.
The daily experience of creativity, for the
creative person entails the next points:
1) It has a normative effect in daily
life, affecting all other spheres of life, including intimate relations.
2) It involves high spiritual discipline;
what it is conceived to be expressed in external form with certainty and
exactness.
3) It involves spirituality and inspiration.
4) It gives the opportunity to express the deeper
existence of the creative person.
5) It involves enlarging the spiritual scales of
"self", beyond the bodily experience and immediate physical
experience of time and spatial or social environment.
6) It is means of social interplay,
communication, sharing of experiences and honouring.
7) It can serve as a way of earning money.
8) It can become a way of systematic change of the self, personal development and perpetual improvement.
8) It can become a way of systematic change of the self, personal development and perpetual improvement.
The path to creativity passess through on going life-long education and self-education.
Basic education is a right that every body has from the moment of his birth.
When it has to do with skills and practical expertise and information about the world, there is only one thing which is better than learning from experience, and this is learning from other people that already have achieved what you are seeking to achieve.
But when it has to do with uncovering your own talends, self-improvement, and spiritual inspiration etc, then it seems that the on going life-long self-education , is indispensable.
Living education can become an opportunity
for honouring the self, and others, for loving, for better relations, of accessing the unlimited collective intelligence, for spiritual inspiration and for disciplined practice.
Some quotes by Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983)
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Buckminster_Fuller
- The youth of humanity all around our planet are intuitively revolting from all sovereignties and political ideologies. The youth of Earth are moving intuitively toward an utterly classless, raceless, omnicooperative, omniworld humanity. Children freed of the ignorantly founded educational traditions and exposed only to their spontaneously summoned, computer-stored and -distributed outflow of reliable-opinion-purged, experimentally verified data, shall indeed lead society to its happy egress from all misinformedly conceived, fearfully and legally imposed, and physically enforced customs of yesterday. They can lead all humanity into omnisuccessful survival as well as entrance into an utterly new era of human experience in an as-yet and ever-will-be fundamentally mysterious Universe.
- There will come a time when the proper education of children, by a glorified system of spontaneous education of choice, will be made possible. Children, as well as grown-ups, in their individual, glorified, drudgery-proof homes of Labrador, the tropics, the Orient, or where you will, to which they can pass with pleasure and expedition by means of ever-improving transportation, will be able to tune in their television and radio to the moving picture lecture of, let us say, President Lowell of Harvard; the professor of Mathematics of Oxford; of the doctor of Indian antiquities of Delhi, etc. Education by choice, with its marvelous motivating psychology of desire for truth, will make life ever cleaner and happier, more rhythmical and artistic.
- One of my working assumptions which has been proven successful so often as seemingly to qualify it as a reliable tenet is that A problem adequately stated is a problem solved theoretically and immediately, and therefore subsequently to be solved, realistically. Others have probably stated the principle in many ways. The assumption is that the inevitability of a solution's realization is inherent in the interaction of human intellect and the constantly transformative evolution of physical universe. At first the, only subconsciously apprehended, approaching confluences of complex events make themselves known intuitively within the intellectual weather. Then comes a gradually awakening consciousness of the presence of new families of differentiating-out challenging concepts of every day prominence. It is with these randomly patterning families of separate concepts that evolution is about to deal integratively. As a now specific unitary problem it may be disposed of effectively when and if that unified problem becomes "adequately stated" and thereby comprehensibly solvable.
