Quotes about Creating

Creating perfection will also create expectations for the future

I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life.

If thinking is existing, then knowing is creating, and creativity is a desperate grasp at something far beyond the confines of our simplistic reality.

Our belief in our divinity will rewrite our life, and create it anew

All human beings, without exception, are continually creating themselves with the life-energy that is flowing within them

“Living did not become a problem until Man refused to listen to the inner voice. When he returns to listening He will seize to labor for the means of living, but will work for the joy of creating. Through His word He will find that He can move upon the all loving and all enfolding substance of God, and bring into visibility every idea he holds in thought.”

Our way out involves both resistance and renewal: saying no to what is, so that we can reshape and recreate the world.  Our challenge is communal, but to face it we must be empowered as individuals and create structures of support and celebration that can teach us freedom.  Creation is the ultimate resistance, the ultimate refusal to accept things as they are.  For it is in creation that we encounter Mystery...

(new structures in consciousness) ... they are structures that we build every time we engage in a thought that's just a little bit higher than a thought we had a moment before, or an activity that's just a little bit more noble than the activity we engaged in a moment before.

We think in secret, and it comes to pass. Our environment is but our looking glass.

One creates from nothing.  If you try to create from something you're just changing something.  So in order to create something you first have to be able to create nothing.

Invent your world. Surround yourself with people, color, sounds, and work that nourish you.

If I don't put effort toward creating what I want, I have to put effort toward coping with what I get.

Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how.  The moment you know how, you begin to die a little.  The artist never entirely knows.  We guess.  We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.

SETH said:  Each person alive helps paint the living picture of civilization as it exists at any given time, in your terms.  Be your own best artist.  Your thoughts, feelings, and expectations are like the living brush strokes with which you paint your corner of lifes landscape.  If you do your best in your own life, then you are indeed helping to improve the quality of all life.  Your thoughts are as real as snowflakes or raindrops or clouds.  They mix and merge with the thoughts of others, to form mans' living-scape, providing the vast mental elements from which physical events will be formed.

An artists job is to see.  And to go out in the world and see it firsthand, just as it is; to report with line and words what is seen.  To be in the world, not just study about the world, that is the artists task

Either you are creating your life or the circumstances are.

At that instant he saw, in one blaze of light, an image of unutterable conviction, the reason why the artist works and lives and has his being--the reward he seeks--the only reward he really cares about, without which there is nothing. It is to snare the spirits of mankind in nets of magic, to make his life prevail through his creation, to wreak the vision of his life, the rude and painful substance of his own experience, into the congruence of blazing and enchanted images that are themselves the core of life, the essential pattern whence all other things proceed, the kernel of eternity."

The most visible creators are those artists whose medium is life itself. The ones who express the inexpressible - without brush, hammer, clay, or guitar. They neither paint nor sculpt. Their medium is simply being. Whatever their presence touches has increased life. They see, but don't have to draw...
Because they are the artists of being alive.

You may seek companionship and warmth, for example, but if your unconscious intention is to keep people at a distance, the experiences of separation and pain will surface again and again until you come to understand that you, yourself, are creating them. Eventually, you will choose to create harmony and love. You will choose to draw to you the highest-frequency currents that each situation has to offer. Eventually, you will come to understanding that love heals everything, and love is all there is.

The journey may take many lifetimes, but you will complete it. It is impossible not to complete it. It is not a question of if but of when. Every situation that you create serves this purpose. Every experience that you encounter serves this purpose. 

The universe rearranges itself to accommodate your picture of reality.
