” …a practice of some kind… It quite frequently happens that you’re just treading water for quite a long time. Nothing really dramatic seems to be happening.

“Understanding creativity as a common expression of the quantum self can encourage anybody to engage in it.In this context, we should distinguish between outer and inner creativity.Outer creativity involves discoveries external to oneself; the product of outer creativity is meant for society at large.In contrast, inner creativity is inner-directed.
