What is this Blog about?

I am currently exploring the value of developing the concept the Bridge and other related sites as a free public resource, and writing a series of ebooks on the subject .. while exploring/researching it as a Post Grad and designing various complimentary software tools...
In this blog I explore techniques I have collected and developed for a social network space for people to Explore the bridge between Creative flow and Rational Thought".

"From the point of view of the larger planet, we proceed with an awareness that the whole system is far too complex or us to actually manage or control ....remember its a system that gave birth to us, so how then are we to interact in a way that is fruitfull?"

"Many of us have been trained perceive randomness as nothing but entropy, background 'noise' to be ignored, much as we are taught to treat the commons, yet the commons is the shared foundation of life...


The capacity to solve our problems is available , we are not goods in the hands of politicians and bankers...

Secrets/Assumptions


I attempt to state my assumptions clearly, as to not state them, and to slide them by people, is the essential method of propaganda and PR... And I don't approve of that...



I consider it worth stating my basic philosophical stance (belief) which is that there is a ubiquitous (common) sourcemanifestation(1)  of quality and harmony that is 'non-dual', this is not a linguistic or any other type of construction, this is our natural source of being. language struggles to deal with that signified by 'the term non dual' as the Taoists (Lao Tzu) and some  Buddhists note, based as language is on the conceptual boundary. Those philosophies that place language first tend to emphasise the boundary, comparison and exclusion above the inclusive, that I believe is a mistake.

Ways beyond this imposed exclusive  boundary include exploring  random flows and techniques of synthesis as in spiral art.



SECRET 1 :WHAT IS CREATIVITY?

SECRET 2 -RANDOM FLOW

CREATIVITY HAPPENS IF WE ALLOW AND APPRECIATE A FLOW OF RANDOM EXPRESSION... EXPERIENCE SUGGESTS TO ME THIS IS THE CASE...AND ALSO SUGGESTS THAT ALTHOUGH THE COLLECTIVE SOURCE MAY ONLY ALLOW THE EMERGENCE OF MUTUALLY USEFUL FORMS FOCUSSING THE MIND ON A POSITIVE COOPERATIVE AIM/SOURCEHELPS ME RELAX AND ACCEPT THE PROCESS, I USE AN INCLUSIVE TERM LIKE UNIVERSE OR ABSTRACT FOCUS LIKE "OPTIMUM SYSTEM" OR "BEST FOR ALL" 

SECRET 3 : CREATING AND REALISING

THE PROCESS SEEMS TO BE "SELF ORGANISING" CREATING IS ABOUT REALIZING AND ACCEPTING THE FORMS AS THEY EMERGE. IT IS WHERE CREATING AND REALIZING ARE OPERATING TOGETHER AS PARTNERS.
I HAVE BEEN SLOWLY DeVELOPING A PROCESS OF  FACILITATING CREATIVITY FOR OTHERS, HOWEVER IT SEEMS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS IS REALIZING EVERYONE ALREADY HAS THAT ABILITY... I FEEL THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL MYSTEREOUS CONTRADICTION I NEED TO CONTINUALLY ACCEPT IF I AM TO HOPEFULLY BE OF SOME USE AND AT THE VERY LEAST NOT GET IN THE WAY OF THE INCREDIBLE INHERENT NATURAL ABILITY OF ALL PEOPLE.

SECRET 4: A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE MAY OFFER A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON CREATIVE CONFIDENCE

 MANY OF US HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO CRITICISE ALL OF OUR RANDOM FLOW (INTUITION) PARTICULARLY WHILE SOBER, AND TO REVERT TO PATTERNS FROM MEMORY, FROM EXPERTS, AND BOOKS/COMPUTERS, THIS SEEMS OK WHEN DEALING WITH SIMPLE OBJECTS AND PREDICTABLE SYSTEMS... HOWEVER WHEN DEALING WITH LIVING SYSTEMS I HAVE COME TO BELIEVE THIS MAY NOT BE ENOUGH...)

I FEEL  MANY OF US ARE  ENCOURAGED/FORCED BY "NORMAL" CULTURE AND ADVERTISING TO "BE"  SEPERATE, ROBOTIC, INADEQUATEADDICTEDPREDICTABLE CONSUMERS AND PRODUCERSFEARFUL OF "RANDOM CHAOS", AT LEAST UNTIL WE CONSUME THE "GOODS". I BELIEVE THIS DISSATISFIED, INADEQUATE "SELF" IS AN ILLUSION PROMOTED BY THOSE ORGANISATIONS THAT PROFIT FROM DEFINING US IN THAT WAY  DUE TO OUR ECONOMIC SYSTEM- THIS "SELF" IS A CREATION, A CONSTRUCT 


 OUR INHERENT CREATIVE NATURE IS MUCH MORE THAN THIS...


here FOR EXAMPLE is a scientific perspective that does not dismiss wholism


Secret 5 INNER VOICE, DOUBT, AND RATIONALITY...


I KNOW I DON'T KNOW  BUT:


I BELIEVE THAT LISTENING TO AN EMERGENT INNER VOICE That REFLECTS THIS WHOLISM  AND SOMEHOW EMERGES FROM THE WHOLE IS  A KEY TO EMPOWERMENT- ... 


FOR ME THE EARTH - HEART HAS COME TO BE IMPORTANT AS IT IS TO ME ESSENTIALLy  INCLUSIVE 


"BUDDHA" IS IMPORTANT TO ME AS I FEEL AN INCLUSIVE BEING...


SUCH FLOW/LISTENING NEEDS TO Be BALANCED WITH A PEACEFUL RESPECT FOR OTHERS VIEWS...


NOT KNOWING IS A GOOD START - AND PERHAPS HAVING A FAMILY/CONSTELLATION OF VOICES, BOTH INNER AND OUTER TO BOUNCE IDEAS OFF IS DEMOCRATIC...
