Creative Spirituality

# How do you define “spirituality”?
To me spirituality is the ability to escape your current state to find more meaning in your respective situation. Whether this is analyzing the stars or praying to a higher power. Spirituality provides the framework for many people's beliefs and attitudes on life. By being spiritual, you are able to escape the mundane tasks of everyday life and find your oasis.

# Does spirituality differ from religion?
Spirituality is not exclusive to a particular god or deity. You may be spiritual and not religious. While religions are more structured (bible, scheduled prayer, etc), spirituality can be dynamic and ever changing depending on your current state.

# How do you define “creativity”?
In today's world, the word creative always reminds me of the trendy advertising account executive that designs the artwork for ad campaigns. Creativity is the ability to break the mold of the normal and dull. It also is an outlet for many who want to express their feelings and perspectives on life. When someone is creative, they find alternatives, unique perspectives and are able to look at the world differently.

# What is the source of creativity?
The source of creativity comes from your inner imagination. Whether that is your dreams or ideas you have stored in your brain. George Lucas for example got a lot of the ideas about Star Wars from dreams that he had. A lot of the times creativity can be a hybrid from different situation in your life that you find new applications for. By being able to find new uses for simple products or artistic techniques, you can tap a source of creativity.
