The Creation Of The World Is Not

Creativity Is Something Which Proceeds From Within, Out Of Immeasurable And Inexplicable Depths, Not From Without, Not From The World's Necessity. The Very Desire To Make The Creative Act Understandable, To Find A Basis For It, Is Failure To Comprehend It. To Comprehend The Creative Act Means To Recognize That It Is Inexplicable And Without Foundation.

Creativeness Is Liberation From Slavery. Man Is Free When He Finds Himself In A State Of Creative Activity. Creativeness Leads To Ecstasy Of The Moment. The Products Of Creativeness Are Within Time, But The Creative Act Itself Lies Outside Time.
