While working as a Technology Planner and a Strategic Planner, I made a study of how creativity operates in the corporate environment. I absorbed 2 corporate courses on creative problem-solving, I attended a course on the IDEALS system, which is a method for innovation in business; and I was privileged to attend a seminar on lateral thinking by Dr. Edward De Bono. In addition, we used a variety of strategies for idea generation on a weekly basis.
After 16 years of training and practice, I found I had a large folder full of course material, articles, and notes, which I used to create my book, MAXI-MIND, available from www.lulu.com.
When I began to train for ministry, my second career (or is it my fourth or fifth?) I became a student of the Science of Mind, and I found there not only confirmation of all that I had learned about creativity and the mind, but some additional ideas which took creative thinking to the Spiritual level.
This next series of 23 blog entries is taken from 5 talks I have given on Creativity over the past 15 years. I hope you will find a wealth of ideas to ponder, as we fill the next month with thoughts about human creativity.
Creativity is the human activity which most represents God - that Power and Intelligence which we define as the Creator of all.
Gandhi said "You must BECOME the thing you want to see" To do this, we adopt the action of God, which creates out of Its own substance, becoming the things It makes.
