Celestial Journey: The Voyage of the Creative Spirit
Sixty-three motivational and inspirational short essays on living a creative life written in an easy to read, engaging style. Bestselling author Aliyah Marr takes us on a transpersonal and transformative journey exploring creativity & genius, psychology creative ability, and the inner child. For those who know that the way to self-actualization is through the medium of art, any art. Whether you are a creative writer, a journalist, visual artist, musician/composer, computer artist, graphic designer, architect, screenwriter or actor, you know that your art is what makes you want to get up every day. It is what helps you face the world, or rather, it helps you transform the world.
This book is for those intrepid explorers of human expression: artists. It doesn’t matter what field you choose—whether in the arts or sciences—if you do it in the attitude of curiosity and passion, you are an artist, or what I call a “conscious creative.” You are not satisfied with the status quo; you find your own answers. You forge your own path.
The journey of the conscious creative is one of˛adventure and courage. It is not the path often taken. Most people would rather spend their lives working a job they hate and come home to watch TV rather than spend one minute wrestling with themselves in front of an empty canvas or blank page. It isn’t always easy or fun, but ultimately, a creative life is extremely rewarding. For an artist, it is the only life worth living.
