When I am in stage 8 and higher, creativity flows from me, through me, really, at higher and higher rates. The higher the stage, the greater the flow of writing, music and art. But I find that when I am in stages 1- 7, it takes work to pull out a piece of writing, music or art.
As my experience with Purna Asatti grows, I find that I rarely ever spend any time in stages 2 or 5, and that if I can get to 8, I will nearly instantly roll through to 10, and with just a bit of conscious intention, 11. Here, writing, music and art flows out of me with such breadth and speed that I can hardly keep up.
So if the creativity is not flowing, it is a red flag that I am not in the beautiful later stages, and that calls for examination and action. After publishing a round of books, an album and tons of art, I found myself in Stage Six. Why? Because after the creative fun comes the long, arduous task list required to actually get the creative thing out there. Then there is the litany of things an author, musician or artist is expected to do on releasing a new work.
Stage six is happy enough (live and let live) but has a continuous low level of frustration. That frustration comes from following rules that you know on some level are wrong for you. The key was to recognize that I was swimming in stage six, what had pulled me there (marketing) and take that with me to stage seven (question everything…about marketing). Once I questioned everything about marketing, it became clear what tasks were for me, and which long-held ideas are just wrong, or at least wrong for me. Once all was clear, I naturally shifted into stage eight and proceeded from there to nine and landed in ten for the day with little trips to eleven sprinkled around.
So it looks like this…..
Generally happy but frustrated with a particular thing. Question everything about the thing. Decide what is right based on principles. Land in stage Eight. Slide to stages 9, 10, and 11. Live in bliss.
