Creativity

File Location: My Words/Completion (What we know)\Achieving Awareness\Methodology\Explore\Imagination/Creativity



Already addressed in other files, I will emphasize the importance of creativity and the use  of imagination as a means to explore.  Creativity is essential to look at perspectives, to understand, to build, to increase awareness in all, to explore not only physical aspects, but mental and emotional, spiritual aspects, to gain experience, use your imagination, your creativity. 
Where ever you go just find ways to be creative,  just do something different, in every chance you can. You think you have no time? Risk it, remember that without this practice, you already know what your life is going to turn out to be, and is this really worth living for? Something you already know, somehting you have already been through? Something you do everyday?  Remember the unknown and everything you would do for it, remember that you have chance to live and you should not give it up for some low paying job that will enslave you for the rest of your life.
Remember that you dont care what happens as long as something happens, because somehting new, something different is something  good. Its a new world, it is your duty as a living being to be curious and to experience different things, search them out.
The more “places” you go, the more knowledgable you are in life, no matter how rich or poor you are you get the satisfaction of being more aware.
If you dont want to risk you can start small, or make big decisions with things that you know should not affect your everyday living routine. Like take a shower with cold water this morning, or start showering at night instead of during the day, if you always wear black, wear white this time, if you always say “hi” say “hello” for a while, or challenge yourslef to do things that are not important but that you are not used to doing, if you have an obsessive compulsive disorder, then tease it.  look out for things youve never done before, and cherish them.  Order something different next time you go to a restaurant, always do something that YOU do not expect from yourself, do things that your comfort keeps you away from, if you dont want to do something and dont feel like it, do EXACTLY that, comfort keeps you comfortable in your home the place your always at, but you must disregard that hole you are stuck in, make Life unlike your home, but a mansion that you have so many rooms to explore and a lifetime to ekplore them, dont live in the same place for two days.  If you are comfortable, go somewhere else and learn how to be comfortable there, then explore somehting new.  If you are comfortable, you are becoming numb and you are dying,  your body tends to go after things that are familiar and comfortable, it tends to aim towards numbness, but it is obvious that anything that is good, artistic passionate, is not because of its numbness.  You dont go to the movies to watch your homework, you dont go to amusement park to walk to the store, you go there to get uncomfortable, something different, excitement, something that confuses you, (weed). and become obsessed with mixing things to make something new, even if they are just stupid things, but they build your creative spirit. 
One of the most obvious indicators of opportunities to finding something new, to be creative, is that feeling of uncomfortability.  Once you accept, it is typical to let your insecurity keep you from truly accessing the connections of this new world.  But you must be creative and think of why this situation you are in is good.
Make an effort to see why good things are bad and why bad things are good, (although it may not be a good idea to share them as you may become annoying... unless you find a reason why its good to be an annoying person).
But never stay in one personality always change always something new.  And when changing becomes to much of a routine... stay the same for a while.
If you practice finding new things then you well get good at finding new things, until your mind gets used to it and it becomes second nature to search out Life and explore.
Now with creativity constantly, imagining reasons and interpretations of what is, you can develop a habit of seeing a brright side to everything.  A type of this, is  seeing an advantage to every situation life puts you in, “when life gives you lemons make lemonade, when life gives you a pile of crap, make manuer usable for crops and what not.”  This is a very preffered perspective to have because you can never go wrong, example: Prentiss I saw a girl, I thought, if I was planing to talk to her how would I do it? I was cleaning tables, I would go put a dish away at the same time she did, so we would meet at a spot.  The opportunity was there,  I went too early, did I ruin the plan? I tried  to see how it would not only “still work” but how the opportunity was even better for interaction.... I could wait, and make everything seem unintentionally awkward, and that would have more impact on the interaction, which is good... I didnt wait did I ruin the plan? Now that I didnt make the interaction, but now that I had gone first I had time to turn around and look at her eyes, maybe even say hi. I didnt say hi, and this was even better because... I would have made a fool of myself ... etcetera, or something. 
So this state of mind is meant for you to look at how each situation and detail means that you have an advantage, it doesnt matter how deep in dung you are in, you are to see how it all works to your advantage.  But thats not what Life is all about.
You are not always going to look only at whats good for you, but you are to aim is to explore as many perspectives as possible, an efficient state of mind (for this purpose) would be one that is always changing.  So you would probably need this state of mind to realize your advantages,  it is always good a state of mind that makes you more aware.
