The creativity dilemma: breaking the habit of low-energy thought

An epidemic is occurring in our country; creativity is on the decline and battling for its survival. Cuts in funding for the arts, standardization in schools, and modifications in our national priorities have caused creativity to be at an all-time low. Europe saw this decline and made immediate amends to try and improve the situation, […]

Conscious creativity for the Shift

I changed the tagline on my banner after a wake-up tweet from Hugh MacLeod about the lameness of the term “empowerment.” He was kind enough to sympathize with my struggle for the elusive all-encapsulating term. “Conscious creativity for the Shift” defines my mission; allow me to share a few details about the shift.

Fear devours more and more of your mind, disconnecting you from perspective, compassion and higher thoughts. Fear keeps you in an incessant loop of righteousness to protect you from illusionary evils. Fear […]

Why use the Creator State?

Reason #1 There is enough mediocrity in the arts and entertainment world. Show us the real thing! Good art is contagious; spread a killer outbreak of brilliance! Reason #2 You have a unique interpretation to share with the world. You don’t know who your work will affect; art is mystical in this way. You cannot […]

Create Now

Many people philosophize about what it means to be an artist. It’s a conversation I love to join every chance I get. No one is ever right or wrong; the meaning of art is an endless proposition.
