HOW CREATIVITY WORKS
The creative process calls for interactive harmony between conscious and unconscious mind.
The conscious mind provides the impulse to do something. I call this the Love, because it represents desire, caring and the urge for attraction. We want to attract our desire.
Our conscious desire is transformed into intention, which transfers itself to the unconscious mind. Our unconscious mind is our link to the Law of Nature, and the attitude called for is one of Acceptance. We are ready to Accept the results of our Desire. Ernest Holmes said the action of God is Love and Law. This is the creative process, and we are the actors. We are blessed with the ability to imagine, and with the ability to use conscious intention.
When desire runs wild, the process is like the greenlight exercise, with ideas bubbling out almost randomly. When we try to restrict it, we interfere with the process – we curb the enthusiasm.
But our acceptance must be focused on a particular outcome, or we will get overlapping multiple manifestations. It would be like desiring a new truck, and then accepting every truck that came our way, regardless of age, size, or condition. When we had a yard full of rusty old trucks, we might wish we had been more focused.
What we want to achieve is clarity of purpose, without being too rigid about the outcome. There is a balance. If we are completely unclear, we will get wishy-washy results. Too specific, and we are raising needless barriers to success.
