Art and Science of Creative Self-Expression
We live in the universe of law and order – which includes personal expression and performance. In order to express yourself in a higher level of your potential, in any area of your life, you should know the fundamental right, the rule or the formula. Knowing the formula can be tailored to any creative goal, whether it's your art, business, relationship, work, hobby, etc. The formula is a universal template that can only fill in empty spaces.
The formula consists of three integrated parts: (1) You, the personality that expresses everything, (2) the creator from whom the expressive thing comes, and (3) the result or expression itself. Each part must function properly in order for the formula to work.
Let's see how each part works – or it must work. First of all, the personality. Your personality is the medium or the expression field. Or as a professional actor – your instrument. This vehicle gets impressions or ideas from within and communicates outward. Now this vehicle is not and can not have independent ideas. This is nothing but the interaction between spirit and soul and body. He does not have his own ego. There is no intelligence or power. In fact, it is totally selfless. Everything has its own custom way of expression. And this is not his job because everyone else is. You can not help but be different, no matter how you try not to be.
This is what Zen means when he says you're "nothing." That means you're just a medium. Now, depending on your selfless media and nothing, your expression will have beauty, intelligence, power, and originality. Good medium or device is good, taciturn, open and open. You can only play your instrument. Again, the device is not the creator; this thing plays – like a violin. And just because the violin does not have its own ego, it can be played at all.
The second part is the creator himself. This part is the inner, subconscious source of all external expressions. This is your higher self or higher power, your mummy or god, and so on. – Call me what you want. This is the musician or player of your personality. You, the medium, wait and listen to the patient's silence and silence until you get inspiration from this subconscious. "Inspiration" means that you are saying something through your personality, writing something, playing something, and expressing yourself. Then obey the leadership to get the best of your ability. How successful or perfect you are to translate or reflect this idea or inspiration into sensual reality depends on how you can mislead your "personal" will in the matter and maintain neutral neutrality.
The third part of the formula is the result or result. This is the express or created thing – words, music, products, etc. You can not know or control what's going to happen in advance because you remember that your personality is just a medium and it's not about the matter. If you try to say a "personal" word, try to set the end result, destroy the formula, and disappoint you. This is the definition and the method of the lease, and this is the mode that is needed for the greater creative expression.
Words, music or action come out as it comes out. Spontaneous, and so must. If you want to know the result in advance, it would not be "creative". This would be predictable – not special or unique. He would have missed the joyful surprise and the originality. (The only way to check and predict the result is to repeat what happened earlier. For example, music that someone else wrote or duplicated a product or process invented by someone else, etc.)
The first formula part – a receptive and passive device, the only part you can control. And it will not be easy because the personal, selfish person insists on the false, mysterious idea of running the show alone. So by correcting the false concept, the most important thing is to concentrate on all your personal development activities.
