Creativity is more of a broader subject than what we think. Creation is the final product but always fear the dangers of not knowing what goes into creation. SWITCHING YOUR MIND TO CREATIVE MODE They say true knowledge is realisation, but realisation is the argument of what you already know. One can't be creative if one can't view a subject differently from it's Natural form. It's dangerous to have alot on your mind and nothing in your heart. why is it critical to view things differently? The more differently you look at something the easier it is to acknowledge and express it's significance. If you cannot feed an original concept with possibility then that original it's burdened with stagnation. A solution is a problem that has evolved. Lets get poetic about mathematics, in mathematics you won't be successful if you look at problems in one direction hence why they are so many formulas that can solve a single problem. Just like a formula a problem is created as well. Mathematics can train a mind to be creative because math always encourages a different approach. Creativity is the "how" in everything, any mathematician will tell you that most complicated problems can be solved by using the lightest solutions and this is always achieved by looking at problems from a different perspective. Treat you concepts like mathematical problems and you will reek untold creativity. It's always easy to view things differently when you appreciate them, even criticism is lethal. isolation When an individual grows up like most great artists, isolated from society, they grow up with their own perception of the world or life in general. Whatever these individuals create feels and looks like it's from another planet-this is just a way of showing you that creativity comes naturally to all of us. The dark arts involve locking yourself up in a room that has no words written anywhere, no sign of a letter or anything that resembles an alphabet, then start walking around the room looking for words, this method is powerful beyond words. The truth about us people If we were all aware that everyone is capable of creating a masterpiece but the main problem with alot of us is not how we view things, the problem lies with how we view creativity. The closest thing to creativity is not art, The closest thing to creativity is relatively and lucky for all of us our minds are machines of comparison. Metaphors, puns, similes' and rhyming are all based on relativity but funny enough these literature tools are perceived to be unattainable or difficult to come up with and these aspects make up your final piece. With relativity we can all understand connection-the cornerstone of creativity. Relativity doesn't disturb the natural flow of our minds. for instance, when someone makes an example with two things you never thought to have a connection, what they're basically showing you is a link. Connection is key and with proper connection discords are eliminated because Everybody is creative but not everyone is sublime with their creativity. Technique is the master of all connection but technique depends so much on calculation so if you can figure out a way to calculate,then how close are you to perfection? Analysis is key to understanding complication. As the bible states "imagination is stronger than willpower". A BLANK PAGE A blank page doesn't seem to have anything on it, It actually has what we human beings are inspired by whether it be in objects or people...potential. A blank page could be anything you set your mind to. If you are to truly understand the resistance that's been stressed about in previous laws, you would have to think about simply looking up in the sky. Usually when you look up in the sky you not really looking for anything, but subconsciously you are looking for serenity. In this moment there is no resistance, when you look at the clouds they usually resemble an object and this is because you don't resist to see anything, you literally let your mind lead to your thoughts and in this fashion there's no disturbances, so then you reach your state of creativity- seeing things to be something else. Your mind wonders what those clouds could be and everything flows harmoniously. In essence don't think about your idea just think what you idea could be. inspiration Never use any drug for inspiration, these laws aren't meant to mislead People into life of hardship and self-destruction. This may seem to be the quickest route to your creative zone but this method will damage your brain in the longest run. We all strive for a masterpiece but getting yourself drugged up for a piece of art is total injustice to your health. We have to understand that we can't all be inspired by the same thing or be inspired in the same way, think about whatever inspires you when you create. If it's an object then place it right in front of you...if possible. However there is the ultimate driving force...AMBITION. Ambition is the most powerful tool you'll ever come across, what are goals and dreams if there is no ambition? This tool alone can overcome the odds stacked against you. In fact what separates a good writer and a great one is not talent or intellect, it's ambition. Art is the possibility of everything in anything, with ambition you will became a better writer everytime you create something new. All of this can't be a myth because we all know the power of ambition.

Understanding art takes more than just knowing different styles of art. To know and understand art you have to unlearn everything you know about art because what you know as "art" is through someone's eyes (the artist). To unlearn art is to see art through your own eyes. Most of us know how to learn but it's only a few that know how to unlearn. Art represents freedom but it's impossible to understand this if you cannot unlearn everything that you consider to be art. NB: Different types of species cannot view the world in the same way but they see the same thing. Similar to seeing beauty, when you learn art you will know where it is...unlearn art and you will see it everywhere. why should you unlearn? Everyone has idols and that's beneficial when it comes to inspiration and motivation. Don't you ever wonder why those idols dropped their then idols after they found their own style? The importance of knowing what art is will make the all the difference in the success of your end product. The best way to explain this is to view art at as you would view water. Let's state a few things that water can achieve. • water can turn to ice • water can be a gas • water can run turbines • water can be a coolant • water can be a catalyst • water can purify • water can clean • water can bread sports • water can be a silent • water can be loud • water can be strong • water can be weak • water can give life • water can **** Let's be honest that's just learning the capabilities of water but if we had to know what it truly is then we have to consider it's basic and natural form...the liquid phase. In a nutshell it's just water. LIKE WATER, ART IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ANYTHING IN EVERYTHING. Art can be: • angry • happy • sad • argumentative • accurate • inaccurate • abstract • confusing • personal • futuristic • simple • complex • subjective • life saving • mystical • obvious • technical • obnoxious • judgmental • destructive • depressive • persuasive • violent • seductive • EVIL • cold • warm • rebellious • brave • an obsession • a delusion • cunning • nostalgia • deceptive Hence why ART IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ANYTHING IN EVERYTHING. Attainable art Art that is easily relatable to is attainable art, this is the type of art that focuses on what art can be. The feel and texture of this art is very personal, so this art is solely based on what you as an artist think of art. This type of art has limits. un-attainable art Art with no boundaries, no fear and no doubt. It's not personal it's just the sheer appreciation of art. this type of art is created by those artist that think with their hearts. This art is unattainable, it can't be possessed despite the concepts its been laid on, it's the highest form of art. Unattainable art teaches us that the best craftsmen and artists have appreciated not just their own craft but art as a whole. We appreciate art, art appreciates creativity, creativity appreciates detail, detail appreciates patience, patience invites serenity. This Art serves as a uniform tool for realization, " I never thought this object or place could be seen in such a great way". This art is what we call a masterpiece. Appreciation of art is serenity seen through many forms, but what is appreciation without any element of joy?. You can only have joy when you appreciate life. Anyone can ****** happiness from another but joy can't be taken because if you appreciate life, you have the best gift in the world...TRUE HOPE. when water is at serenity you can feel it breathing in the midst of silence. To appreciate life without being alive is stupidity!

but that handle was made for his hand hand - handle handle - hand the fingers would close around it to never let go It had to have flesh around it at all times But the blade... the blade was still naked. He couldn't let the blade naked It wasn't fair "So that's why you stabbed your mommy then?" the psychiatrist asked him. "Yes," he said. "The knife is more important to you than mommy?" "The knife listens. Mommy doesn't."

Admiring beauty is the first step in acknowledging art. when you are obsessed with beauty you will see it in the obvious places but ounce you admire and appreciate beauty you will see it everywhere. Everything has beauty...ounce you understand this you will be patient in seeing what makes or what can make a certain thing beautiful, you will master detail which is the cornerstone of crafting a masterpiece. Most masterpieces are just a discovery of beauty in something odd or what we primarily perceive as ugly.

law 6: admire beauty
Write about anything you would like to write about because we mostly like what we desire and this is all driven by emotion and in the creative writing process emotion sets everything in motion. Have you ever wondered how most people became writers? Most of these people were facing overwhelming emotions whether they were positive or negative these emotions were so powerful they needed an outlet and writing was the answer. The power of these emotions overcame the resistance so easily that their brains had no choice but to come up with masterpieces and when it was all done and dusted these people gazed at what they have done then they appreciated and then curiosity found it's way, "am I capable of doing this again?" then the journey began. Since we live in an era ruled by critical thinking, we don't have to wait for a tragedy. write about the unordinary and train your mind to flow naturally without any disturbances. this is the route most people that you call "geniuses" have taken.

law 5: write about anything
How can one be creative if one does not know the rules?, building a proper foundation is necessary. Rules are not there to marginalise your creativity. When a child is put in a walking ring the child learns how to walk PROPERLY! first. Learning as many aspects as you can about literature because this will nature your creativity to work in your favor, not against you. Never be mislead by clichés like "break all the rules", just be encouraged by them because first of all you would have to know the rules in order for you to break them. No matter how unconventional your ideas are, for perfect execution you need to be technical and what is technique without rules? The golden rule is to read as much as you write.

law 4: rules are rules
It's essential to learn the fundamentals of construction and the dark arts of destruction. Construction • Constructing articles, short paragraphs or essays in your own words is basic training for your mind to adapt to any type of writing style. •BY re-writing and re-adjusting things is teaching yourself how to re-customize a concept without ruining it. Destruction This is the fundamentals of anything abstract, the dark arts of finding beauty in loss. Taking something significant from a concept and replacing it with something that's sentimental or rather odd feature just to add a twist to the concept. Destructing a connection to cause suspense or distortion, this art art should be practiced after reading the ninth law. The highest form of construction is destruction and the deepest form of destruction is construction. The truth about the human mind when it comes to creative writing The human mind has alot of resistance when you start from the bottom even experienced writers can experience "the mojo" not being there. We should always bear in mind that these laws encourage hard work not hardship, so working with what is already there is more time efficient and this law has alot to do with connecting things - the true essence of creativity. "creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something they feel a bit guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something" -Steve jobs The difference between an editor and a writer • An editor is always a bit more technical than a writer. • A writer is more artistic than an editor. • An editor eliminates all the possible glitches. • Creative writers tend to be delusional. All these points show that its not all about who wrote the manuscript, it's just about who understands the concept more. What makes a writer delusional? There's no such thing as a "stupid idea", that's just another of saying you **** They're only two things when it comes to the final product: • delusion or, • proper execution We should consider that any failed idea could be made a success with proper execution. This required a fair amount of artistry and technicality.

Music connects us with our inner selves and thee environment, when we hear music we let go of our thoughts so they can be whatever they want to be, this lets our creative juices flow freely. Our minds become more visual, more expressive and most importantly more free!. In essence music has the power to overcome resistance and when there's no resistance nothing interrupts your train of thought. Always remember that poetry and music make your heart smarter than your brain. Research shows that the broca's area of your brain is used to express music and that specific area enables us to produce speech and that is not a coincidence because in the past music was considered to be a form of communication. Music also improves memory, attention and mental development. Dangers of music Do not obsess over this art or any type of art or any type of art because it can be a drug-a very addictive drug because it also acts on the same part of the brain as an illegal drug.
