Spiritual Creativity: The Basic Principles

The heart of creativity is an experience of the mystical union: the heart of the mystical union is an experience of creativity. The following spiritual principles are the bedrock on which creative recovery and discovery can be built.



Basic Principles



1) Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure, creative energy.

2) There is an underlying, in-dwelling creative force infusing all of life - including ourselves.

3) When we open ourselves to our creativity, we open ourselves to the creator's creativity within us and our lives.

4) We are, ourselves, creations. And we, in turn, are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves.

5) Creativity is the Universes' gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to the Universe.

6) The refusal to be creative is self-will and is counter to our true nature.

7) When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to Source Energy: good orderly direction.

8) As we open our creative channel to the Universe, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.

9) It is safe to open ourselves up to greater and greater creativity.

10) Our creative dreams and yearnings come from a divine source. As we move toward our dreams, we move toward our divinity.


What lies behind us and what lies
before us are tiny matters, compared
to what lies within us.
