Start creating something now:

an observation, a questioning, a plan, a sketch, a poem, a song, a dish, a workout, a meditation, a book, a hobby, a curiosity for something, a mood, a goal.

• What is creating?

You perceive. What is it that you call, or hold to be, perception? Practice perceiving something, and clarifying what that is for real.

A few things to take into account are what is not perception but often gets conflated with it, such as interpretation, meaning, and association. For example, look at a simple object and try to set aside anything that isn’t a mere sense perception of it -- I presume this would translate to totally meaningless sensory input.

Notice, for instance, that "language" comes immediately after your perceiving of an object (hard to catch, for us it all comes up as one vague "experience") -- many associations show up for you right away: "This is language, it is in English, these words mean this and that," and so on. This process, albeit a lightning-quick one, isn't about perceiving what's there. So what is it?
