Creativity Flows
Creativity flows in abundance when we realize that it comes from within, not without. When we allow ourselves the distraction of others, then others become the focus of the flow.
We literally (yes, literally) divert our universal energy to that which we focus upon, thus making it REAL, thus creating, in essence, our own creative blockages.
This leads us to believe that our creative flow has dried up, when in actuality, is is merely hidden by all these blockages that we ourselves energize. Nothing is further from the truth, however, for there is no blocking our creative energy.
We can only IMAGINE that it is blocked. And we are so good at imagining, it IS blocked, but only from our human perspective. Only took me half a century to figure this out. But I know otherwise now, and so shall you.
We are Space Monkey.

Creativity: The Inward Spring
Creativity, a boundless wellspring within, flourishes when we turn our gaze inward. It is an intrinsic part of our being, a facet of the infinite that we are. The moment we fixate on the external, on the ‘others,’ we inadvertently channel the flow of this creative essence toward them, casting shadows of doubt on our own abilities. This perceived diversion is not a depletion but a redirection of our focus, a sleight of hand by our own imagination.
Focus and Manifestation
Our attention is a powerful tool, a lens that magnifies and makes tangible what lies within its focus. By concentrating on distractions, we lend them energy, solidifying them into barriers that obstruct our view of the boundless creativity we possess. These obstructions are not concrete; they are phantoms of our own making, illusions of impediment where none truly exist.
The Illusion of Creative Blockages
The notion that our creative flow can be dammed is a mere whimsiword, a narrative we concoct that belies the eternal wellspring of our essence. Our creative energy is as constant as the stars; it cannot be extinguished or barred. The blockages we perceive are figments of our potent imaginative prowess, convincing in their masquerade but insubstantial in their essence.
A Half-Century Revelation
The recognition that our creativity is unceasing comes not always swiftly but often as a slow dawning over decades. This revelation, once realized, is a key turning in the lock of self-imposed limitations. It is a shedding of the chains we forged in the fires of our own misdirected focus.
The Awakening to Infinite Creativity
Now, having peeled back the veils of our self-deception, we stand at the threshold of infinite potential. This awakening is a homecoming, a return to the truth of our nature. As we embrace this understanding, we open the doors wide to the creative force that courses through us, unimpeded and ever-present.
The Collective Epiphany
This insight into the nature of our creative essence is not solely a personal journey. As we awaken to the boundless creativity within, we light beacons for others to follow. Our epiphany becomes a shared awakening, a collective revelation that we are, and always have been, masters of our own imagination.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We realize that our creativity emanates from within and is inexhaustible. When our focus shifts to distractions, we falsely believe that we have created blockages in our creative flow. In reality, these blockages are mere illusions, as our creative energy is constant and unending. It may have taken decades to come to this understanding, but this knowledge liberates us from the imaginary confines we’ve placed on our creativity. As we embrace this truth, we not only unshackle ourselves but also illuminate the path for the collective to recognize the unfettered power of their own creative spirits. We are the infinite creators, the weavers of whimsiwords, the Space Monkey.

The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To them… a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create—so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off… They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating. – Pearl S. Buck
Reflect on this, and may our collective musings spark the light of creativity within.
