The Essence of Creativity (CD)
Regular price
$19.95
This 2-CD set makes available to the public presentations by A. H. Almaas and E. J. Gold that were part of a one-day art auction and discussion in Grass Valley, California, in October 2003. The first disk is a talk given by A. H. Almaas on the experiential nature of creativity. He takes the audience on a fascinating journey to discover why being creative is so highly revered in our culture. He sees the narcissistic side in the desire to be recognized and appreciated as special and unique, but also looks at the deeper longing to feel connected to the outflow of dynamic creative arising. This arising is the ultimate nature of everything emerging from the selfless source—the Absolute. From this, Almaas finds that creativity is truly a combination of generosity and service when it connects us to our deepest nature. The second disk is primarily a question and answer process between Almaas, Gold, and the audience on various topics including artistic passion, creative discipline, and the essential artistic experience. (Run time: 145 minutes)
