Creativity and Consciousness

Why does creativity sometimes flow freely and other times feel completely blank, and how does this relate to being in touch with true being? Rupert says: ‘Creativity is the natural expression of the freedom that is the nature of consciousness. A mind in touch with its essence is informed by this freedom and is therefore creative. A mind impervious to its essence is informed by its past content and just perpetuates the past – that’s not creativity. If the mind operates on the horizontal line of time, creativity is a vertical intervention of pure consciousness bringing something new. A creative mind is open to this vertical intervention. Creativity comes from being open to the unknown, because everything on the line of time is the known. A mind that only refers to the known can only perpetuate it, even if reformulated. Surrendering your mind to awareness in meditation is one way to cultivate this openness.’
