> [!important] [[Creative Clarity]] | # Actualized Creativity Actualized creativity is using your creative voice or self-expression to help others awaken. #### It is also a creative potential that is reach by: - identifying a vision - accessing a flow state - collaborating within limitations - allowing for expansion Good art doesn't inspire you towards some objective virtue or truth rather it inspires you toward your own perspective and unique realizations. ## IDENTIFY A VISION A vision can happen predominately in any of the five sense and also simultaneously with 2 or more. While vision can be a visual experience in the imagination, it can also be a sound; a reverberation in the body. If you stop to smell the vision it might remind you of certain aromas or taste sweet, bitter, or savory. A vision can be felt like an invisible hand on your back, a racing of your heart or an undeniable lightness throughout the body. A vision in the sense reminds me of the latin enthused - to be filled by spirit. An idea, a 'download' as some new-agers call it, has been suggested to you to carry out and bring into form. Perhaps it's just a spark that needs further kindling, or maybe a full blown composition revealed down to the final note. A purpose that wasn't there has appeared now on the forefront of your consciousness, divine will beckons you to create. ## ACCESS A FLOW STATE While we have been entrusted with such a vision we are still just a collaborator, it is not our entire responsibility to birth the vision, the universe will provide resources, unveil new meanings, and guide your intuition through a complete process from conception to fruition. Flow state allows access to divine guidance, as well as confidence in the proportions of a creative project. In a flow their is no doubt, second guessing, or blind spots...you carry out the creative process like a familiar melody you can mouth in your sleep. You trust the process your in and the direction it will lead ## COLLABORATE WITH LIMITATION All creative projects or visions have a scale. You can have a backyard album release party with a hand full of friends, you can stream your new songs online, or you could book a venue, sell tickets and invest in a new PA system. The same vision can manifest in 'easy entry' or 'high cost' versions of itself. It's alway good to be realistic about resources at hand including time, energy and money. It's ok to have short day-long creative spurts or work toward a year or decade long endeavor to manifest a vision. Having a mix of low-hanging fruits and magnum opus's make the creative process sustainable and can help you find your sweet spots and niches. This play with [[Limitations as Creative Catalysts]] can create style and certain signatures in your work that make it distinguishable. ## ALLOW FOR EXPANSION While working within certain limitations it's also important to continue growing, ushing up against boundaries and seeing whats possible. Accessing new potential is part of changing with the times. Art is meant to be timely and tap into a moment of collective consciousness that is invoking the vision to come through in the first place.
