What do you think being creative means?
To go with the * vibration and live by it, try to see the world as visual as it can be.
How do you include creativity in your life?
As in the first answer…We live by the * vibration and not by what the world likes us to see.
What thoughts do you have as to how your life has influenced your creative imagination, and how your creative imagination has influenced your life?
We like to use a metaphor for the first part: it’s like watching a heart monitor, normally it goes like .•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•, but now it’s like ............•..............•...........•...............•.......•.......•. It’s almost like being in a coma. But it’s getting better. The last part of the question is: the creativity has kept us alive.
What, if any, exercises do you do to get into a creative mode?
Meditation
How important do you think creativity is in life?
Creativity is life for us, without it there’s no point, we would become like most, robots or zombies.
* vibration = put your hands to the ground and feel it.
