The Creative Possibilities of Peace

by | Aug 23, 2017 | , ,

Being “created in the image and likeness” of the Original Creator, we are, each one of us, created to be creators. This is our most fundamental spiritual identity. We are born to be creators; and, all creative power is given unto us to fulfill our purpose as creators. If we are not living in alignment with the truth of our spiritual identity, our lives become dysfunctional and chaotic, making peace all but impossible. We are capable of creating anything that we can conceive of in our minds....

The One and Only Unbreakable Creative Rule

by | Aug 3, 2016 | ,

For the most part, the “rules" of creativity are more like guidelines than strict rules that cannot be broken. Indeed, one will never be at a loss to find exceptions to the rule of rules. History is strewn with creative masterpieces that have ignored conventional and contemporary forms to rise to new creative heights and, in some cases, altogether establish new creative forms and standards. Picasso’s Guernica, Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, James Joyce’s Ulysses, Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue,...

How Does Your Light Shine? – (Part II of II)

by | Sep 9, 2011 | ,

So, how does your light shine?From a scientific perspective, light is energy. Light travels at approximately 186,000 miles per second. Einstein's theory of relativity, which I do not even pretend to understand, simply states that "energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." It is a challenge for the human mind to wrap itself around a speed of 186,000 miles per second, much less the implications. To the human mind grounded in a physical material world, that kind of speed seems...

How Does Your Light Shine? – (Part I of II)

by | Sep 8, 2011 | ,

When I was six years old, which, for the record, was almost 50 years ago, my family went on vacation to Lookout Mountain in Tennessee. We lived in Nashville at the time and I have two specific memory recalls from that summer trip. First, me and my middle brother Ron, aged 5 at the time, both had a severe case of mouth ulcers that resulted in us having to eat cold tomato soup and have our mouths coated with some kind of ultraviolet solution that stained them purple. The other memory was a...

The Myth Of Creative Block

by | Apr 19, 2011 |

I love the morning. Whether I go to sleep early or late the night before, I'm up early. I can't wait to be awake and spending time in the silence in the morning, before the work day, or the events of the day begin to carry me along. It doesn't matter to me what I am going through at the time or not, whether my life is strenuously stressful or buoyantly jubilant, I love being awake in the quiet, still early morning hours where the flow of divine ideas is most easily accessed. The only...
