Short excerpt from an Eckhart Tolle video arguing that thinking alone is not creative; creativity arises from stillness and access to a deeper/primordial consciousness. The speaker claims that without becoming still one cannot produce truly creative thoughts.
In itself. Thinking is not creative. You will only have the old thoughts going round and round and round. It can give form to something, but there needs to be something more powerful that informs thinking, that rises the primordial consciousness that you become one with. As you become still, the more stillness, the more creative, the more access you have to the dimension of all creativity. And if you can never become still, you're not going to have a single creative thought.
