Three links about creativity
Weekly synchronicity
Here’s three links:
"Creativity involves a hidden paradox. So does authentic spirituality. Understanding it gives you the key to both."
— Matt Cardin tells of the universals hiding within our most private experiences."The broader similarities between early modern grimoires and the recent spate of New Age “abundance” literature are hard to miss. Both were rooted in debasements of older and more serious traditions, both catered to the clueless by seeming to promise something for nothing, and both stand apart from the older and more serious traditions just mentioned precisely because they appeal to the fantasy of control rather than offering the challenge of participation.”
— John Michael Greer writes of certain confusions surrounding magic and mindset."These skills are not about craft. They’re about management of emotion. I’ve heard them called “soft skills,” though to me they’re anything but “soft.”"
— Steven Pressfield invites us to address self-doubt.
