How Did Your Life’S Creativity Show Up?

Creativity can manifest in various ways, either by accident or through deliberate discovery of a passion. It is essential to reconnect with the miraculous and allow creativity to flow. The creative process involves five components: preparation, incubation, illumination, review, and revision.

Creative manifestation involves employing imaginative abilities and thoughts to achieve desired outcomes in life. This practice involves defining creative goals, being intentional with creativity, believing in one’s ability, focusing on joy rather than techniques or methods, visualizing, writing down visualizations, and unconscious manifesting.

Manifesting involves turning dreams into reality by believing in one’s ability to achieve them. Artistic manifestation can help break artistic blocks and generate targeted inspiration.

Creativity is present in the thought processes of entrepreneurs, engineers, and scientists, as well as in “story” creativity. Manifesting requires surrendering to deep truths through creative thought and imagination, bringing dreams to the surface. Creativity involves generating new and original ideas, insights, or solutions to problems, combining existing ideas.

Embracing creativity is a powerful way to enhance life and live more intentionally. By picking up a hobby or setting aside regular creative pursuits, one can make life infinitely interesting and fulfilling. By following these steps, one can stop dreaming and start living their best life now.

What is creativity in real life?

Creativity is crucial in everyday life as it makes life infinitely interesting and fulfilling. It is a way of living that embraces originality and makes unique connections between seemingly disparate ideas. Creativity is about living life as a journey into seeing and communicating the extra-ordinariness of the simplest, most every day acts. The root meaning of creativity means ‘to grow’, and when we are creative, we feel as if the world and all that is in it are vibrantly alive.

Creativity’s by-products include major achievements of civilization, such as the invention of the wheel and Mozart’s sonatas. Human beings are born creative, finding innovative ways to negotiate life from infancy. Creativity expands our perceptions and leads to new ways of problem-solving, such as making an exquisite meal or painting an extraordinary landscape.

Manifesting creativity involves a combination of hyper alertness, clear, rested minds, additional stimulation, zero distractions, trance, collaboration, and a personal formula like the pressure cooker or notebook. Archimedes proclaimed ‘Eureka’ while in the bathtub, and all elements are present to manifest creative thoughts. Ideas often appear at random, but there are ways to manifest creativity at will.

Creative thoughts are the ability to connect ideas that would never normally interact, resulting in a huge leap of possibility. By noticing trends in one’s thinking and discussing what works for others, one can create a spark that ignites the imagination.

Two publications were developed during the course of the week: “Creativity.” The book, entitled “Resilience and Global Citizenship: Explorations, Reflections, and Recommendations,”

Creativity can manifest in various ways, such as by chance, through the discovery of a passion, or by degrees over years. For the author, it began at around 10 or 11 years old at school when they were influenced by an inspirational teacher. This teacher made them see things in a different light, and the idea of creativity built up in snapshots, moments of brevity but of lasting significance. The author describes their experience as akin to an avid green shoot taking root in a dry brick wall. The process of creativity can be a gradual process, ranging from accidental discovery to years of continuous practice.

How does art inspire you in life?

Art provides meaning and understanding, and its appreciation enhances our quality of life and happiness. It elevates mood, improves problem-solving abilities, and opens our minds to new ideas. Dr. Shelley Carson states that art broadens attention and allows us to see creative solutions. Professor Semir Zeki, a neurobiologist at the University College of London, states that when we stare at great art, our brain is stimulated, like falling in love.

Art increases dopamine levels, a neurotransmitter that controls the brain’s reward and pleasure centers. Investing in art is an investment in a visual story that decorates our walls, as it is a part of the artist’s life and never created in a vacuum.

  • I kid you not. Just recently. I laid in bed after a long day. I practice controlled breathing. To a point that my heart rate slows down to something close to non existent. My body became like a shell. I then could feel/sense/know of another presence. I was not alone. I sensed an energy moving freely amongst me. I attempted to catch it and control it, but it eluded me everytime. It proved to be impossible to catch. Once I accepted I wouldn’t be able to catch it, It then seemed to approve of my humble submission and rested at my core. Instantly just me knowing where it was I swear to you I became totally immersed in this energy. I was beyond bliss or misery. I was beyond all things I was pure and absolute. The feeling of my entire being was power radiating/pulsating. I was completely humble. It felt as if I was an eye 👁️ that could see with complete understanding. Words meant nothing everything was comprehensible with just being in the presence of it and I was in the presence of All. I was presented with a number 333. When I woke I felt better than I ever have. Been paying attention to numbers way more and now I’ve been seeing 333 and 555 a lot. Good things are coming.

  • The field is the sole governing agency of the particle… NOT the particle being the sole governing agency of the field.. YET many people believe that the particle which is physical matter is the sole governing agency… WRONG… Albert Einstein.. said that The field is the sole governing agency of the particle. So this physical stuff we call matter is governed by the quantum field.. That is where we should be studying in all schools. This field is energy, vibration and frequency with a consciousness. Learn how to tap into it and learn how to use it, and the world truly becomes your oyster.

  • Its so excited to see this article bcoz all the thing he explained is nothing the but the shaiva philosophy as a crash course in 6 min article. Their are more material evidence and practise available in our Tamil language which are writtern by those who attained the highest levels of conciousness. our great saintt valallar build a building called sanmarga sangam which itself explain this in physical form.

  • I had heard of him but his “walking meditation” really inspired me and made me believe in the infinity of life once again. I feel he explains spirituality in scientific terms so even sceptics and non believets sit up and pay attention. Have been doing a lot of work on myself in this area and his articles just motivate and re affirm that am on the right path and help me get thru some tough stuff. Am so grateful for his knowledge that he shares with us and i can see myself and my life changing in little small ways. And he inspires me in my journey to heal myself and hopefully others eventually ❤❤

  • …. This is the state Jesus achieved. Forget everything you have ever heard about him and just consider a young kid that learned at an early age the basic principles and as a young man completely mastered it. Everything Jo Dispenza described is what Jesus learned from his elders and his time in Egypt. He attempted to teach people about this and those were his disciples and the gnostics. He attempted to simplify it and give simple everyday people exercises they could do even if they couldn’t quite comprehend it. About 230 years after his death the roman emperor Constantine rewrote everything and compiled a stack of writings we now call the bible which seems to totally omit the most powerful and important information. All those so-called miracles in the bible were true and Jesus attempted to teach others that they could do it too.

  • oh my god i literally shifted with this. i never realised how easy shifting actually was until i shifted. we’re shifting every second so what would make it hard anyway? it’s amazing. i got to meet everybody i dreamed of. i’m currently going places unimaginable and unattainable in my current reality. i’d like to thank the universe for introducing me to shifting. it was placed in the middle of my path right before things started to get bad and it’s helped me stay positive throughout it. i’m so powerful and the universe has helped me enhance it. i’m not only shifting but i’m manifesting my dreams into reality. anybody can do it. anywhere, anytime. – (motivation.)

  • Hi everyone. I don’t mean to offend anyone but I want to share my story.. I tried all of this manifesting stuff and all I can say is that it was the worst feeling ever.. I felt so heartless, without emotion, and no purpose being in this world.. in May I got out of work one morning after a night shift and when I woke up that same afternoon.. WOW!! I had the biggest most massive hunger for my Jesus! Since that day I could never go back to my old self where I thought I was a god and the universe and all that nonsense.. I write this message with full respect towards everyone but in case someone feels the same as me and needs that peace reach out to HIM and he can restore us and I can say that everything i have prayed for in HIS name is already coming to pass. So I give all glory to Him and not to myself. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and watch how your life will make a full 360 turn for the best!

  • I wanted to say that IF what we are learning about this is True, (and we want to believe it is) then we who are practicing these things, are in essence becoming the Masters of the Universe. So many people in their Quest, Focus so much on their Personal Lives, Material things they want to have in their Lives, but IF we are the Masters of the Universe, then I think we ALL need to expand our Focus, and not only Focus on Changing the little things around us, we are the Masters of the Universe, so let’s ACT like it. Here is my Suggestions to apply to your Practice: 1. Visualize a World around you where the WEF, WHO, UN, and NATO completely do not exist. DELETE THEM! 2. Visualize a World Completely Free and Harmonious with NO Central Banks, No elements of Control. 3. Visualize a World where everyone Loves and Respects each other, and there are no Wars. 4. Because there are no Wars, there are no Military Industrial Complexes, there are No Weapons. 5. Visualize a World where there is no Religious or Political Oppression, and people Truly Live Free. 6. Visualize a World free from Suffering, Free from Greed, Free from Guilt, Free from Shame, Free from Hate. 7. Visualize a World that is Truly Peaceful, each person can find Peace, inside and outside. I think this is a good start, once we accomplish this, I will give you some more Suggestions 😁

  • As I recall from my very early life as a young child, I can still remember automatically connecting with the very basics of this existence within my mind. I was able to sense and feel everything, and would take in an incredible amount of sensory information, smells, colours, touch etc as my young mind connected with the so called real world. It was just like meditating in fact, although looking back now, to me it was just how I viewed the world around me. My imagination worked along with all of this, although some of it I would see was fairly scary and some of it was quite beautiful in itself. Forward to later in life, at mid age around 40, I learned to meditate as a way of stress relief from work. From then on I discovered quite by accident after some years of experience at meditation, I was able see into the future on two occasions, by a couple of days at least for a very brief moment. This was proved by being there at the relevant time a little later. Going on from this, I discovered during meditation, I was able to see things in my mind, all kinds of visions in fact, such as still pictures of abstract objects, some in colour and others in black and white, also faces of which some looked of alien origin, complete stillness in darkness while others were like very short article clips. On a few occasions, my body would feel, as if it was floating and I would hear a loud buzzing in my head. I then discovered, this always happened at the start of when my consciousness seemed to leave my physical body.

  • This makes sense. In 2015 I did what Dr. Joe is talking about but I didn’t know how or why I manifested a job that I applied for having little to no experience. I got the job and with the job came a, rent free, apartment… IN CALIFORNIA!!!! I got PAID to live in a FREE APARTMENT. So Dr. Joe is right when he talks about intention and energy. I still live in a free apartment and get paid to do it.🙂

  • Key insights 🧠Einstein said “the field is the sole governing agency of the particle” – if we can change information in the field, we can affect the particle matter. 🌌Creating from the field instead of from matter allows us to move closer to source and create from a place of wholeness. 🌌By placing your attention on the unknown, you would be disinvesting all of your energy out of the known three-dimensional reality. 🧠The concept of “nothing” being filled with frequency and energy challenges the materialist perspective. 🌌When the brain becomes highly organized and coherent, it starts resonating at the same frequency, creating bigger amplitudes and higher energy. 🌌If you decided to create from the field instead of from matter and you were just pure Consciousness, you would be shimmering the entire vacuum, you are the source. 💖The heart produces a magnetic field up to 3 m wide, and love is the glue that holds the atom together. 🧠People don’t realize how powerful they really are, and when they prove it to themselves, their past no longer exists.

  • DEAR LORD FATHER JESUS,I NEED YOU TO PASS ON THIS MESSAGE,WITH a good vibration with true intentions,and fearless strong voices to help us educated and study further, WE ALL NEED WORLD PEACE PLZ😢I know on this platform the UNNIVERSE is going to send my testimonials In Joe’s Hand ✋️, #untouchable Nikki

  • This man makes a lot of sense. He’s the first one I listen to who can explain these things properly. I understood the whole subject before on the “ok, I get this on an intellectual level, like reading a science article.” But I had no idea on how to apply it. Now I think for the first time after all that reading and listening to a million explanations, “Oh my gosh, now I really get it, I grasp it & finally know how to practically apply it! Finally!” Thank you! He knows how to express things in a way that both brain sides can understand the subject. Thank you!👍🇮🇪💖🤗

  • I find myself nodding along to aspects of his explanation, and then all of a sudden he will throw out something that actually does not make sense. Namely, the assertion that dualistic consciousness exists within non-dual consciousness. Or that the physical heart and it’s magnetic field is the same as the metaphysical or metaphorical heart. I take it all as poetic and lovely, but also see how it can turn into magical thinking and blind those that are not able to understand the actual functioning of material realms and our place within it. He is so close, but put this next to a Zen teacher or a spiritual scientist, and his words turn into woo. That all being said, I am grateful that he is making an attempt to unify material existence with quantum existence, even though the operability of that connection is symbolic and not actual. It would be hurtful to many for him to acknowledge this, as I know how fervent and devoted many are to his ideas. Even so, I appreciate honesty and humility in spiritual and scientific teachings and alas, this does not capture those things fully.

  • I love this. I’ve been really focusing on setting my intentions and transmuting all the negativity n my life into a powerful transformation of abundant opportunities lately. This just makes so much sense. Wholeness in terms of being completely free of all limitations and restrictions. Focusing on the present moment verses all the past things and emotions. I have been manifesting very quickly! Thank you ❤

  • All these concepts are explained in Indian Hindu scriptures like Vedas, Puranas but no one believes those and treats them as just stories. And people who get information from these scriptures, run some experimental tests on those concepts and write books on those will get all the fame and money. But I appreciate him for putting the effort into bringing those embedded secrets to common people.

  • Unbeknown to most. IT ONLY TAKES TWO PEOPLE AND THREE DAYS TO BRING HEAVEN DOWN TO EARTH. SLEEP NOT AND FAST FROM THIS WORLD FOR 7 days to activate the 7th crown Chakra mind eye and to open the flower of life. I can prove that humans can telepathically speak and telaport to an undivided inter-dimensional reality of heaven. I AM, and you can too. Let this world go. ~DD HALL.

  • I want to manifest our dream home, big beautiful greenery garden, corner house, 3 bedroom, lapper, modern tiles, spacious kitchen and living room, spacious bedrooms, dream location and neighbourhood, secured estate, affordable offer to purchase, modern kitchen finishings, clean, peaceful, warm n relaxing house, where our kids can grow happily and free🎉 2024

  • So the issue I have with quantum manifestation is how it relates to quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is entirely unpredictable by its nature. Its all probabilities. I don’t see how you could influence your life in a predictable way using a science that is entirely probablistic and random. I think that this is a wonderful psychological trick to increase productivity and motivation. I can’t see how quantum mechanics could help with that haha.

  • Most times I walk anywhere, especially in town, I rarely have to wait to cross the road. Whenever I get to a junction, 95% of the time it will be clear. If I have to wait then I know I’m in the wrong place. It’s the same with shopping, I get there when theres no queue. I have a sense I’m generally in the right place at the right time. Things can go badly wrong if this isn’t allowed to happen. In fact, I know if something bad is going to happen because things are out of sync. Or I’m crazy 😂

  • The problem is that the Quantum field is the power of God . . .we have ZERO power. We are simply experiencing results based on our belief systems, NOT because we have the power. God is not bias so He gives everybody results based on the spiritual laws He has put into place. This is NOT going to turn out good for you when you meet your Creator. . . Jesus said : “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.” . . . that should answer all your questions right there. Satan got kicked out of heaven because he thought he was powerful and wanted to ascend to a higher realm . . .then God cast him down to earth like the flash of a lightning beam . . .QUICK, FAST, AND IN A HURRY.

  • I felt like Goddess kaki entered in me in a whole new level of Life and power, because stoics don’t believe in any Religion they believe in ALL PLATFORMS OF RELIGION SO WE ARE GODS Children, but power like this is not for the uneducated I humbly request after I saw your article on the activation on the pineal gland I was iced cold from feet,shivering shaking and still fearless becoz I still need World peace for myself and my kids … I understand everything all I ask is for people to understand there worth and banned all stoics articles it’s tooo powerful if you a good godly child and you try to experiment with your life it can cause Death Immediately #Untouchable Nikki MY ENTIRE FAMILY LISTENS AND LEARNS FROM YOU JOE,thanks for this article, I’ll be waiting for ur reply

  • It is god,there is no other diety other than god God has always existed, existing and will exist God never gets tired God has the heavens and earth in its hand There is no one powerful than god God knows what exists before and after us God grasps all knowledge that there ever is God’s throne is on the earth And God is protector of everything. God is within us Once you have accepted that god is in charge of everything there is no point in running after things in life just sit back, acknowledge that we are nothing breathe and ask focus on what you want and attract it yourself.

  • Your assumptions are false, illogical and entirely concept bound. For example you state ‘ All is energy, frequency, vibration. Well doc, you have to have something to vibrate in order for energy to manifest. No matter, no energy. In reality matter and energy are the same, two sides of a coin. Just like there is no up without down, they are mutually dependent.

  • Believe me when I say this: it happened not long ago. I was lying in bed after a tiring day, practicing controlled breathing to the point where my heart rate became almost imperceptible. My body felt hollow, like an empty vessel. That’s when I became aware of another presence. I wasn’t alone. I sensed an energy moving effortlessly around me. I tried to grasp and control it, but it slipped away each time. It was beyond my ability to capture. When I finally accepted that I couldn’t contain it, the energy seemed to recognize my surrender and settled within me. The moment I became aware of its presence, I was enveloped by this energy. It transcended bliss, pain, or any emotion. I felt beyond everything—I was pure, absolute, radiating with a powerful pulse throughout my entire being. I was overcome with humility, as if I had gained a deep, all-seeing understanding. Words became unnecessary, as everything was clear in its presence, and I felt connected to the essence of all things. During this experience, I was shown the number 333. When I awoke, I felt more rejuvenated than ever. Since then, I’ve been noticing numbers like 333 and 555 frequently, and I have a strong feeling that good things are on the horizon.

  • In Hinduism, that nothingness is Shiva. Shiva dwells in that Unified field. Lord Shiv being, the first yogi of the multiverse introduced the techniques of zero state meditation, which is the beginning of creation or the manifestations. This phase is called Brahma. Brahma is also the Bramhand (Universe in Sanskrit) which is made of matter. Then comes the phase of Maintenance or Vishnu (the operator). This is the concept of Hinduism. It’s wonderful how it starts from within the mind or the one Singular Mind. We’re ONE.

  • I believe in what u are saying in spirit. Cards on the table… I am Christian, so I believe in God as the Creator. However, I believe a fallen mankind has perverted His message of Love. I agree with ur general message of how to connect with the Creator. But who knows? I may be wrong about who or what the Creator is. I want to find out.

  • Theory here: hear me out.. So they say that we are unbalanced on the chain of animals, we don’t belong, and the only intelligent life on earth, right. What if we are very powerful beings but we were defeated by another being aka those who watch us, and our minds erased from history and now we are relearning what we can do, so they make it impossible for us to remember by distracting us with Tech, Fame, Politics, and so, so. Work with me here right, so what if some of our kind survived and trying to show us the truth but those who watch us capture them and put them in Area 51 ? Hmmm maybe that’s why they hide everything or maybe that’s why they say reptiles or mask president hmmm? Just a theory

  • I found & believe with this work, as well as others that I manifested love & my dream of traveling. It took tears & many years for me. Now that it’s here, I am questioning if this is the real man of my dreams. I knows he’s here for a reason & this is where trusting the universe comes in. Reason, season or lifetime. I love when I take the time to completely meditate & just be. I’m in such a beautiful world when I completely let go. ❤😊

  • While m listening to this …when u say remove sun moon planet and nothing is Der….I remember I learnt in school a statement from vedas dat states God is the unborn non materialistic no form no name no qualities absolutely no definitions and den it’s was explained to me in the same form of energy as u explained the atom….dis all is in shlokas in Sanskrit in vedas….surprised how can u say the same…..

  • My third eye is open but I’m using universal power from other plants to vibrate higher like from other plants I caused a big big big Storm by activating a storm while chanting om Namaha shivaya, plus I was chanting for Goddess kali I saw flash and a blue light came in my room and it was a busting glass sound last week when the storm arrives at 2am this hour my entire family plus neighbors where awake

  • something happened on 30th dec 2023 to me i woke up late nite and i couldnt belive my eye. i saw something like red fire spining around in a big circle above on the corner of my bedroom it lasted for like a minute i kept flicking my eyes coz i thought its not real but when i realized it is it vanished. im looking for answer what was that i dont really mdiatate or anything like that. im living a happy life but i really wanna know what was that thing it keeps coming into my mind. please anyone knows

  • I recently went through a tough breakup. My 5-year relationship ended a month ago, and it’s been really hard for me. I still love my ex-girlfriend so much and can’t stop thinking about her. I’ve tried everything to win her back, but nothing has worked. It’s frustrating, and I can’t imagine being with anyone else. I’ve been trying to move on, but I can’t seem to get her out of my mind. I know it might sound strange to share this here, but I miss her a lot and just can’t stop thinking about her.
