Links on Creativity

[Sahil Pandit]

Hi, 

Does anyone have any leads to where I can learn more/Master the creative process?? I would like to master the medium of photography and videography, and I am currently reading The War of Art and The Path of Least Resistance from Leo's book list.

Any other creatives out there??

Creativity can not be learned or taught. It is not a an object of knowledge, memory, experience, which is thought.  

I mean doesn’t creation implie somthing totally new that wasn’t a continuation of somthing else. Generally people like to confuse invention for creativity. 

Seems like in order to create somthing you would have to be in a new state of mind in whatever craft you werre interested in. A mind not bound by thought. Because thought is always old and never new. 

what do u think about this?

What you can do is immerse yourself in your creative work, in your creativity, try to be in contact everyday to your spontaneity. There are dozens of ways to discover creativity, to build a better relationship with it. In my opinion, books are good, but not the ones that you just learn from, but the ones that are more philosophical, that the author itself knows what it means to lose yourself in the creative process.

Mastery doesn't come easily. Mastery doesn't mean reading books and talk with different people about creativity. It comes from yourself, if you're really interested, if your desire is much higher than this illusion, than yourself.

Mastery won't come to you if you gain your information just from books. You should gain the informations, insights from yourself, your sincere curiosity and love for what you're doing, it comes after days of crying, after days of losing yourself, not finding "yourself" in what you love.
