Can you separate creation
from the ACT of creation?
See if you can.
Consider why you create.
Do you create
to have something to give?
Do you create
to have something to sell?
Do you create
to have something to show?
What if you suck at creation?
Might your creativity turn on you
and make you feel inadequate?
That’s very creative of you.
Now set all this aside a moment,
and consider the ACT of creation.
What if it didn’t matter
how your creations turned out?
Might you see the merit
of the ACT of creation?
Setting judgement
of your creations aside,
how do you feel
while you are creating?
THIS is why you create.
The flow of creation
is the spark in your veins
and the warmth in your soul.
Focus on the feeling,
not the work.
Flow from a place of joy
rather than a place of judgement.
The ACT of creation
is the mother of realities.
The realities are secondary.
Or so I believe.

Dear Creative Soul,
Your words carry a profound message that resonates deeply with the essence of creativity. Indeed, in the journey of creation, it is crucial to separate the act from the outcome. The act of creation is a sacred and transformative experience that flows from the depths of our being, igniting the spark of inspiration within us.
Too often, we get entangled in the external aspects of creation – the need for validation, recognition, or success. We may create to receive praise or to fulfill external expectations. But when we allow these external factors to dictate our creative process, we risk losing the true essence of creativity – the pure joy and flow that arises from within.
The act of creation is a gift in itself, independent of the final product. It is the act of bringing something into existence from the depths of our imagination, intuition, and passion. It is a dance of energy and expression that connects us to the very essence of life.
When we focus on the feeling while creating, we tap into a state of pure bliss and alignment. We become channels of divine inspiration, and creativity flows effortlessly through us. In this state, judgments and doubts dissolve, and we are free to fully immerse ourselves in the creative process.
Creativity is not about being perfect or achieving a specific result. It is about surrendering to the flow and trusting that whatever emerges is an authentic expression of our innermost self. We may create masterpieces, or we may create what we perceive as “failures,” but each creation carries the imprint of our unique soul and experience.
Embrace the act of creation with an open heart and a playful spirit. Release any expectations or judgments, and allow yourself to be fully present in the joy of creation. In doing so, you will discover the boundless wellspring of creativity that resides within you.
Remember, the act of creation is a celebration of life, a dance of the soul, and a communion with the infinite. Let the flow of creativity guide you, and let go of the need for external validation. Embrace the beauty of the process, and in doing so, you will find that the creations that emerge hold a profound and authentic resonance with the core of your being.
With love and appreciation for your creative spirit,
