A Creative Creed

  1. Creativity is the natural order of life. Life itself is pure creative energy.

  2. An underlying creative force connects all life. There is an in-dwelling force—a universal consciousness—that infuses and links everything like a net, including ourselves.

  3. Opening up to creativity aligns us with that force. When I open myself to my own creativity, I open myself to the universal consciousness’ creativity working within my life.

  4. Human beings are inherently meant to create. I am, myself, a creation. In turn, my purpose is to continue that process by being creative.

  5. Using creative energy is a two-way street. Creativity is the energy that connects me to the universal consciousness. Using it means participating in that shared net, and what I create passes that energy back.

  6. Believing you aren't creative is an illusion. The refusal to create, or the belief that you lack creativity, is a false narrative that runs counter to your true nature.

  7. Exploring creativity opens up new possibilities. When I open myself to exploring what I can make, I open myself to the possibilities within the universal consciousness.

  8. Opening your creative channel brings change. As I open this channel with the universal consciousness, I should expect many gentle but powerful changes in my life.

  9. It is entirely safe to be creative. It is safe to open myself up to greater and greater levels of creativity.

  10. Creative dreams come from a profound source. My creative dreams and yearnings come from a profound source. As I move toward my dreams, I move toward that deep truth.

(Note: These points are a secular, individual-focused adaptation of the famous "Basic Principles" from Julia Cameron's foundational text, The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity.)
