In any form of living or working, maybe especially if you work as a scientist, a writer, a painter, musician, dancer, sculptor, innovator, designer or you are expressing anything creatively, there is a great chance of getting lost.
What do I mean by saying that? Yes, I mean getting lost in the system of things. In the identity of things. Getting lost in the sense of blocking ourselves creatively by identifying strongly with our work. When we identify exclusively with our creative expression and separate it from the rest of us we are in conflict. If all your music or whatever creative medium you identify most with was taken and stepped on by the entire world. What
would you do?
There is a sense of deep integrity of pure beingness that does not depend on anything we do or create. A sense of standing alone, unattached in the face of the Great All. A daring to let it all go and let whatever is to be. This can, with great advantage, be applied in the creative process. To take the position of the observer in the creative process rather than the judge. This frees an enormous library of stuff that just spurts out like a fountain. You can tap into anything you desire and express it as only you are able to! It is also a great way to discover yourself and what you really are and what you are not, what is really you and what you are trying to imitate of the world.
It is easy to say these things, but not quite as easy to say how to do it. It seems that we are all inclined to figure this out for ourselves. There are some things that no one can teach you, not even the great masters. But you can be pointed in a direction, the right direction?
If you follow your feelings, and observe wether you feel good or bad (to simplify the emotional spectrum) you can navigate in your life and creative process in the right, or wrong direction. When there is great joy in creation, something wonderful is sure to be born from it!
