basic principles

Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure creative energy
There is an underlying, in-dwelling creative force infusing all of life - including ourselves
When we open ourselves to our creativity, we open ourselves to the creator's creativity within us and our lives
We are, ourselves, creations. And we, in turn are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves.
Creativity is God's gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to God.
The refusal to be creative is self-will and is counter to our true nature
When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity we open ourselves to God: good orderly direction.
As we open our creative channel to the creator, many gentle though powerful changes are to be expected.
It is safe to open ourselves up to greater and greater creativity.
Our creative dreams and yearnings come from a divine source. As we move toward our dreams, we move toward our divinity.
