The place where creativity is born

All things that truly matter, beauty, love, creativity, joy and inner peace arise from beyond the mind.

Echart Tolle

.... and creativity happens in the PRESENT, in a place of no mind.  Creativity is the vital energy of our present.  The eternal present where God exists.  God, the eternal creator exists in the now.  We can visualize our journey, plan it, fill it up with dreams.  We can also use images or situations that happened in the past....  but we create in the present.

Our creativity journey may seem to have more than a million steps,  But it only really have one... The one we are taking right now.

When we are in this journey, it is certainly very helpful to know where we are going, and of course, we have to have a general direction, a map, but the only thing that is ultimately real is the step we are taking now, right at this moment, in the present.

I tend to forget this way too often.  A lot of times I tend to live to much in the remembrance of my experiences (some bad, some good), but most of the times my tendency is to live in the future.  Living in the present, as simple as it sounds, is a very big task for me.  Mi mind makes me believe  it is such a great task.  I have learned (I am programmed since childhood), to worry.  It is like if somewhere in my mind I would believe that if I worry, I do things better.  Nothing further from the truth.

When my work has been fully creative, high quality, excellent, it has really emerged from a quiet space of no mind.  I might have even visualized it a lot, or plan it a lot, but if I just stay, there, in the planning,  it is like being stuck.  I have to start acting in the now,  feel the energy happening inside me,  and, as it is, something magic starts to happen.  Creativity starts taking over.  It is like magic, real magic, it is like I am not creating alone.  This are the most intense moments of my life, this is the most creative me at work.  It is like a meditation.
