Creativity is a nonlinear phenomenon. More precisely, it’s transcendently dynamic—not constrained by empirical time and space—yet something new materializes in our empirical surroundings as a result of creative expression. What this means is that creative expression is essentially eternal—it can portray all that ever has or will exist. Let’s develop this premise.
The empirical universe—that which is dependent on evidence or consequences that are observable by the senses—is essentially linear, and constrained by time and space. The empirical is sequential. Our thoughts and behaviours—our lives—are linear from the empirical standpoint.
The transcendent—that which is beyond or above the range of normal or merely physical human experience—is dynamic, in that it’s beyond the empirical constraints of time and space.
The empirical universe is the intrinsic home of our physical being—it’s the environment in which we claim our separate and sovereign identities. Indeed, we learn this unequivocal(ish) truth from the beginning of our conscious awareness. This belief satisfies the empirical nature of our senses.
The transcendent is soul—that which enlivens us and is no longer physically present when our bodies die.
Humans (all existence, for that matter) are comprised of two essential components: 1) our physical being (empirical) and 2) soul, or life (transcendent). In prior posts, we submit that a union of these two essential components must occur for creativity to emerge. Nothing new under the sun can manifest via our physical being alone—only a clearer (or possibly deluded) understanding of our empirical universe results. Only through intercourse with our physical being can soul (transcendent life) create anything new.
For creativity to flow, our physical being must consciously acknowledge and embrace the transcendent soul (life). This is to say we must choose to recognize the transcendent as being one of our two essential components before the fertile union of creativity can exist.
