The Triangle of Creative Genius

Your work and the world

Oh my creative loves!
The world has gone - has always been ?! mad.
And right now! Urgently!
We must use our creative super powers
To create peace
And create a climate re-changed.
Truth and beauty!
Freedom!

Creativity is a skill.
A gift
That we are being called to amplify.
Each of us so uniquely.
And as pointless as it may feel some days.
#sadisticviolence #guns #governments #etcetcetc
I mean we are at the point where I am watching
The Handmaid’s Tale for survival tips.
And yet.

Our work is neither an escape from
Nor peripheral to
What is happening
On the world stage.

The new world is being created.
We must show up for it
Not just as citizens
But as the creators.
Even though it can feel pointless.

This thing.
That you know is an essential piece of you.
Creativity.
It is a wild and wonderful thing.
It means to grow.
Not to make.
Meaning that when engaged with your priest - woah - a typo I am leaving - work -
But best is work is what I meant to say…
You grow as a human
Empowering you to do your even more essential work.
More growth etc.
That is the infinity loop of The Infinite Creator.

And here’s my thing today.
I had a spark of a download yesterday.
There are 3 key aspects to creativity.
(And yes creativity itself is a piece of the triangle of creativity/continuation/destruction).

Let’s call it the Triangle of Creative Genius.
Genius - from a word for give birth.
Gene!
Genesis.
Genie.
Let this understanding
Be a genie in a bottle for you.

The Triangle of Creative Genius is:

Resourcefulness: using what is.
Alchemy: Metabolizing and transforming what was.
Imagination: Conjuring what does not yet exist.

And yes creativity is so much more complicated that this.
It’s a beautiful pool we get to swim in.
And sometimes white water trying to drown us.
It has a billion facets like a diamond.
Requires countless skills including patience and intuition.
It’s understanding story.
And a feel for tempo.
It’s so. Much. Else.

But also quite simply.
It is these 3 elements.
And most of us have a strong corner.
And one that could use work.
For me.
Super resourceful.
Sometimes not that imaginative.
We can develop what is less strong
If we are aware.
We also can depend on our strengths
In emergencies
If we understand them.

Take a look at your triangle.
And use your super powers for
For your work.
For the world.
Develop your less developed corner.
We need you.
And you were born to do this.

Infinitely yours,
Beth
