Orienting & Grounding

When we dive into a deep well of ideas…

When the sparks are firing…

When the inspiration is flowing…

Are we merely being manic or have we tapped into a supernatural creative source? How do we know the difference?

The difference is that the genuine, grounded, creative flow thrives on slowing down. It’s the result of diving into deeper waters, digging in deeper soil. The manic flow thrives in the fast lane, fueled by speed, which is a substitute for intelligibility and substance. Manic energy fabricates a false self.

True creativity speeds up as we slow down, dive deeper, and contemplate longer.

True creativity is orienting, grounding, and self-revelatory; it introduces us to who we are.

Try slowing down. You'll get your answer.
