Many people think that creativity comes from an inner peace. this is one way to approach it as if you are peaceful your ideas can flow, but, to your detriment, if you are too peaceful you will merely submit to the world around you, yes? this peace will leave you more under the influence of others, and, that means that if everyone is peaceful in your area, then you will lack the activity and imagination to come up with artistic ideas, as, you will all reflect each other, yes? So, what is creativity? this is activity, aggression, a sense of trying to change things, rebellion. this is why america is so advanced with their creativity, they have the legislation protecting rebellion, and, rebellion thrives. this rebel spirit is due to wanting to, as i said, change things for to the person's liking, yes? this wanting to change things leads to activity, frustration, desperation and other 'negative energy' that leads to creation, improvisation, and perversion. If we were to observe that the more you want or desire, the more empty you are, you will fill yourself with something, and, being able will try to change things for your own sake. this can be countered by ideals such as communism, where the desire to lift the poor to greater heights was prevalent, but that is a much different story to 'being creative.' Now, this hunger and negative energy follows the principles of science - it is only through negative energy that equipment operates, friction, mind you. if you were to behave, nothing would happen, so, defying the state of things will help you in your arts and seeking of pleasure.
Such is my calm and silent breeze My amble on streams Thoughts and ideas appear and live Warming creative freeze Melting my glacial dreams Embracing the words I give
I don't think people like Van Gogh knew a real inner peace, the same for Mozart who was pretty tortured too. Creativity is for me the ability to take already existing things and mix them in new shapes.
