Enthusiasm as the voice of faith in Art

To me enthusiasm is the vital energy that rules the world.  I truly believe that it must be enthusiasm the powerful source behind creation.  I really think that it was enthusiasm what makes God create the universe to take delight in it.  Of course the word enthusiasm, as joy,  is synonyms of love.   The very origin of it all, the very origin of the infinite.

Enthusiasm and creation come from love, come from God.

Enthusiasm is not a emotional state, it is a spiritual commitment.  A loving surrender to our creative process.

The word enthusiasm comes from the greek "filled with God".
It is a vital energy supply from the universe itself, manifested in the most joyful and playful state.  Like the beating heart of our inner happy child.

Fear is the opposite of love.  Of course fear is the opposite of enthusiasm, and, since fear reign so much in our minds, it often blocks the flow of creativity, of the creativity needed for every single task of our life.

I want to cite some words from Julia Camaeron (The Artist Way) on this matter.

"-Once you accept that it is natural to create, you can begin to accept a second idea - that the creator will hand you whatever you need for the project.  The minute you are willing to accept the help from this collaborator, you will see useful bits of help everywhere in your life - BE ALERT, THERE IS A SECOND VOICE, A HIGHER HARMONIC adddint to and augmenting your inner voice.  This voice usually shows it self as SINCRONICITY."

It is my believe that there are no coincidences.  Miracles are the result of enthusiasm and faith.   So is creativity.
