“Just as words have two functions - information and creation - so each human mind has two personalities, one on the surface, one deeper down. The upper personality... is conscious and alert... The lower personality is a... perfect fool, but without it there is no literature.” MindHumansTwoLiteraturePerfectCreativityInformationCreationFoolPersonalityConsciousFunctionDeeperSurfaceHuman MindTwo Personalities Author:E.

“I never want to feel complacent, and I had started to, a little bit. I had started to feel like "I have this thing I can do, it's worked a few times," but not only does that get boring, but you feel stagnant and unproductive. So I was feeling a lack of creativity and motivation, so I started making a more conscious choice to grow personally. It wasn't even an image-conscious thing, like, "I don't want people to think this way about me." It was really just a way to keep myself energized and feel excited about this thing I love doing. Like I went to couples therapy or something.” PeopleThinkingFeelingsMotivationChoicesCreativityCoupleConsciousExcitedBoringTherapyComplacentStagnant Author:Justin Long
“Meditation gives you two things: equanimity and creativity. And it does that by taking one from their conscious mind, where there's all that noise and chaos and so on, into the subconscious mind where there's quiet and where creativity emanates from. You have a mantra, and when you repeat it over and over again, all those thoughts go away because you shift them to that mantra. And then eventually that sound disappears, and then you're left not conscious or unconscious - you're left in this subconscious state, and by opening that up, first of all you get control of it.” GivingMindCreativityMeditationQuietConsciousChaosDisappearUnconsciousGoing AwaySubconsciousEquanimitySubconscious Mind Author:Ray Dalio
“One of the things meditation gives you is creativity because creativity really comes from the subconscious brain - intuition, imagination - so it's not like you can go there and say, I'm going to go be creative now. Maybe you can, but the real way you get creativity is, you know, you're taking a hot shower and great ideas come to you from the subconscious. Essentially, meditation opens a pipeline between the conscious and the subconscious.” GivingRealImaginationBrainCreativityCreativeMeditationLike YouConsciousHotIntuitionSubconsciousBe CreativeGreat Idea Author:Ray Dalio

“For the neurotic, the merging of the subconscious and the conscious may be risky, just as it is for the users of drugs. But for the writer who is aware of the way in which this connection exists in reality and nourishes creativity, the sooner he can achieve a synthesis among intellect, emotion, and instinct, the sooner his work will be integrated.” WayMayRealityEmotionCreativityAchieveDrugConsciousConnectionsInstinctIntellectUsersSubconsciousNeuroticIntegratedSynthesisMerging Author:Anais Nin
“The artist is a strange being. I think it's safe to say that a real artist is conscious of having a personal singularity that is partly a blessing and partly a curse.
