Invisible Heartstrings

Creativity and Sprituality

On my creativity and spirituality path, I have come to the conclusion that they are one and the same. As I delve more into my creativity, what I experience is very similar to spirituality. I have given it a lot of thought and I have come up with a theory.

The purpose of Source or God is to create. So when we tap into our creative source we are most like Source. And there is an immense amount of pleasure that arises from being creative.

Ask any hobbyist. Anyone that gardens or sews or tinkers in the garage or makes art will tell you that something happens to them when they get immersed in their act of creativity. Time and space seems to stop and they are transported to this other place filled with peace and happiness even joy.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi talks about the state of flow in this video.

When we access our creativity we are most like the Creator.  That explains why creativity and spirituality are so closely connected. So pay attention next time you are in the ‘flow’ (although you probably won’t notice it until you are out of the flow) and see if you don’t agree with me.

The question is, how do you get into the flow. Let me know in the comments.
