Creative Energy Quotes

“I believe when we’re able to fully own and express ourselves, we are able to tap into a creative power deeply rooted from our sexual energy – which is our creative energy. We’re so sexually loose, and also sexually strained. We don’t understand the creative power we have because we’re so busy using it in all the wrong ways – or worse, not using it at all.”
― Lauryn Doll

― Amit Ray, Walking the Path of Compassion

“I believe that Gaston Cleric narrowly missed being a great poet, and I have sometimes thought that his outbursts of imaginative talk were fatal to his poetic gift. He squandered too much in the heat of personal communication. How often have I seen him draw his dark brows together, fix his eyes upon some object on the wall or a figure in the carpet, and then flash into the lamplight the very image that was in his brain.”
― Willa Cather, My Ántonia

“In a reverse way, sharing my mother's long, slow dying consumes my creative energy. I manage one angry and bitter story, and feel better for it, but most of me is involved in Mother's battle. Watching her slowly being snuffed out is the opposite of pregnancy, depleting instead of fulfilling: I am exhausted by conflict.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, The Summer of the Great-Grandmother

“Human beings are children of God, and therefore, each person has a piece of God within him. God is the creative energy, the highest frequency that exists.”
― Caro Briones, The Extraterrestrial Girl

“When you say without God you cannot do anything, you stiffing your creative energy”
― Sunday Adelaja

“An ego and appreciation for truth, knowledge, and beauty drives creative efforts.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

and frightens me.”

“If we think deeply about our childhood, not just about our memories of it but how it actually felt, we realize how differently we experienced the world back then.
Our minds were completely open, and we entertained all kinds of surprising, original ideas. Things that we now take for granted, things as simple as the night sky or our reflection in a mirror, often caused us to wonder. Our heads teemed with questions about the world around us.
Not yet having commanded language, we thought in ways that were preverbal—in images and sensations. When we attended the circus, a sporting event, or a movie, our eyes and ears took in the spectacle with utmost intensity. Colors seemed more vibrant and alive. We had a powerful desire to turn everything around us into a game, to play with circumstances.
Let us call this quality the Original Mind. This mind looked at the world more directly—not through words and received ideas. It was flexible and receptive to new information.

Masters and those who display a high level of creative energy are simply people who manage to retain a sizeable portion of their childhood spirit despite the pressures and demands of adulthood. This spirit manifests itself in their work and in their ways of thinking. Children are naturally creative. They actively transform everything around them, play with ideas and circumstances, and surprise us with the novel things they say or do.

Masters not only retain the spirit of the Original Mind, but they add to it their years of apprenticeship and an ability to focus deeply on problems or ideas. This leads to high-level creativity. Although they have profound knowledge of a subject, their minds remain open to alternative ways of seeing and approaching problems. They are able to ask the kinds of simple questions that most people pass over, but they have the rigor and discipline to follow their investigations all the way to the end.
They retain a childlike excitement about their field and a playful approach, all of which makes the hours of hard work alive and pleasurable.
Like children, they are capable of thinking beyond words—visually, spatially, intuitively—and have greater access to preverbal and unconscious forms of mental activity, all of which can account for their surprising ideas and creations.”
― Mastery, Robert Greene

“In a state of emotional contentment, both of us will give our creative energies to projects outside the marriage while we continue to keep our relationship exciting and growing.”
