The Vessel and the Filter
"The Vessel and the Filter" presents a compelling metaphor for understanding how individuals process, interpret, and transform the vast amount of information they encounter daily. The mind is described as a vessel that continuously collects thoughts, emotions, and sensory experiences from the external world. However, this vessel does not absorb everything indiscriminately; rather, it utilizes an internal filter—a cognitive mechanism that determines what is retained, what is altered, and what is…-

Temporary Rules
In the world of artistic creation, the relationship between creativity and constraints is often misunderstood. Many assume that true artistic freedom comes from having no limitations, yet history proves that restrictions, including temporary rules, can serve as a powerful force in fueling innovation. When an artist is given free rein, the endless possibilities can sometimes lead to stagnation or indecision. However, when boundaries are intentionally set—whether through temporary rules, limited resources,…-

The Prism of Self

These variations are shaped by a range of factors, including emotional states, energy levels, personal histories, and even physical…-

Many creators struggle with the feeling that their work is not good enough, leading them to hesitate at every stage—from the initial spark of an idea to the final act of sharing their creation with the world.

Right Before Our Eyes
In Right Before Our Eyes, the chapter examines the familiar struggle of creative stagnation, a state that many artists experience at some point in their journey. Often labeled as "writer’s block" or "creative block," this feeling is not the absence of creativity but rather a temporary disconnection from the ever-present flow of ideas. The text suggests that instead of seeing these moments as an external force halting progress, artists should recognize that they may, consciously or unconsciously, be…-

II. Teaching.
It is drawn by the future rather than pushed by the past, achieving progress through both the accumulation of experiences and the intrinsic push for experimentation and novelty inherent to life itself. At the core of this philosophy is the notion that life is fundamentally a creative and forward-moving force. This fundamentally counters any notion of 'non-morality.' Instead, it suggests a universe inherently inclined towards complexity, consciousness, and, perhaps implicitly, towards higher forms of moral…-

In "The Dinner and the Drama," the chapter discusses a cultural shift in America that is diminishing the quality and appreciation of theatre, comparing it unfavorably with the past. Claude Frollo, in Hugo's narrative, symbolizes a prophetic vision where one societal change eclipses another; here, the elaboration and timing of dinners are seen as encroaching upon the traditional appeal and cultural position of drama. Highlighting New York's paradox of numerous and richly funded theaters yet a declining…

Seeds
The Seeds phase marks the beginning of the creative process, offering a vital space for exploration and curiosity. At this early stage, creators are encouraged to gather anything that piques their interest without judgment or comparison, allowing ideas to emerge organically. Much like casting a fishing line and patiently waiting for a catch, this phase is about being open to whatever inspiration comes, whether it manifests in the form of a fleeting thought, an image, a melody, or an unexpected connection…-
