re for our lives to become an unceasing manifestation of its multidimensional nature. We would expect our actions to embody its most significant qualities.
That means we would be expressing freedom and creativity in and through the way that we live the gift of life. And this would occur both as the spontaneous expression of a liberated heart and mind and as the practice of evolutionarily enlightened living.

reatest artists and innovators from
Van Gogh to Steve Jobs. Viewing the world creatively is supposed
to be an asset, even a virtue. Online job boards burst with ads
recruiting “idea people” and “out of the box” thinkers. We are
taught that our own creativity will be celebrated as well, and that
[IF] WE HAVE GOOD IDEAS, we will succeed.
IT's ALL a LIE. This is the thing about creativity that is rarely
acknowledged: Most people don’t actually like it. Studies confirm

To postulate the most fundamental level of reality as merely ontology—being without knowing or consciousness or creativity—is basically a 1st-tier move that shatters the Wholeness of this and every real occasion.

apitalism, with ALL its vigour, can make great ships and create giant oil companies, but IT DOES NOT foster the meticulous attention to detail and marketing that has enabled Japan to flood the world with video-recorders. The TOP-DOWN CONTROL by the bosses of Britain and America in the past has not proved as effective as the BOTTOM-UP SENSE of RESPONSIBILITY generated by the highly-educated workforce of Japan today. But if the added value in societies comes increasingly from services - for example, the programmes which are shown on the video recorders as opposed to the manufacture of the VCRs themselves - then societies must foster CREATIVITY alongside ORDER. At one extreme there is a society where people sit in rows and do what they are told. At the other there is one where everybody does their own thing.
