Elizabeth Gilbert: Creative take on Creative Genius



Being that I spend five days a week deep in the threos of creativity, I have come to conclude that creativity is much more of a process than it is magical or divine inspiration. However, being that I have long thought that art is the fingerprint of the soul, that process is very definitive of who we individually are on a metaphysical level. To elaborate, a creative decision is the nexus point between processed past realities and intended future states of the real world. We essentially attempt to sculpt reality by drawing upon the memories that we deem relevant. The lines of causality drawn between who we were and who we want to be, intersect at the moment of creative decision. This place is vast and immeasurable, and perhaps magical or divine. We are re-created every instant. Each one, a laborless work of art.
