I’m gonna smack my infinite self in the mouth!

I am an infinite something, squashed into a little water bag called a body. Sometimes, I can feel my endlessness, my vastness. I know that I am exquisitely and impossibly strange, weird but at the same time so cosmically (and perhaps comically) beautiful.

I am something that is indescribable and unique. I have existed forever so contain forever within my own being but it is another forever… how strange.

I am so light and so dark that my faulty human senses cannot comprehend. I am both threatening and welcoming, unpredictable yet comforting. I am something more than I can describe.

While I am imprisoned in this watery robot, my mental insight as well as my memory is also imprisoned. From this, so limiting, human point of view, I cannot explain or understand anything so vast and so strange. But it tickles my senses to try and imagine it’s wonders as well as it’s darkness.

This infinite something, somehow and probably for good reasons, decided to enter this physical existence on planet Earth. Personally, I think it was a foolish error and that there are much better places to visit than this dirty little life-sucking world. In fact, when I return to this infinite self, there is a good chance that I will be tempted to use my martial arts training to teach it a lesson.

And really, who cares? Because this vastness, this infinite something, is me, more of me, so I can do what I want.

When you think about it, it needs to be taught a good lesson. If it was essential that I come into this world why wasn’t I given a few tricks to make my life easier? Surely it wouldn’t have hurt anyone if it was me that invented the computer, or at least invented something wonderful at 19 years old so that I could live off the royalties for the rest of my life.

Stupid infinite something, I‘m warning you now, when I return there’s gonna be big trouble. Pow! Could even be the big bang all over again!

Bang your head against the wall

What’s wrong with you all?

Creative ideas that will confuse you

A gift from the god of creativity… perhaps

Infinite creativity and imagination

Many dream to be one with the infinite, to experience eternity in the moment, to feel timelessness in an instant. Unfortunately that dream is crazy, you already live in the infinite and you cannot help but live in eternity and experience timelessness in each instance. This is an infinite world in an endless universe. There is no finite. There are no sharp edges, there is no physical limit.

According to quantum science, every edge ends in an impossible-to-measure fuzziness. The science of fractals shows that every measurement is infinitely long. Take the coastline of an island. How do you measure it? Do you do it in kilometres, centimetres, millimetres? When do you measure it? High tide, low tide? How do you measure it? Do you follow every little inlet, every craggy rock and the shifting sands?

You can only take an approximation of every calculation. The more detailed you make your measurements the more impossible it becomes. The more liberal you make your measurements, the more incorrect they become. Science can measure to the atom. Science can also measure to the light year. This is not much use to someone measuring a coastline.

There are no correct measurements, there are only practical values can be used to get a relative appraisal. Everything is impossibly long, infinity exists right here and now.

Time is just as impossible to measure. How do you measure the moment? Is the moment an infinitely small slot in time? How can you measure the now in which we all live. It is an instant that forever changes.

We see changes occurring as the combined result of these infinite slices of time. Everything occurs in an impossible to measure moment.

We live in an infinite moment in an infinite world with immeasurable distances between us. Good, bad, high, low… everything is relative to another thing and nothing can be measured without comparison.

So use your infinite imagination to express your eternal creativity!

I'm an idiot following stupid.

Society consistently tends towards generic. It likes to level and remove the mountains. It likes to place us in boxes and seal the lid. We all watch the same TV programs, wear the same fashion, buy the latest electronic goods, drive the same cars… think the same dumb ideas…

Don’t you ever feel that you want to break out and do it your way? Don’t you ever get tired of the same old superficial garbage being thrown at you by the contrived and controlled media? Isn’t it time to think for yourself? Isn’t it time you allowed yourself to be more creative?

Being creative is being more yourself. It is realising that you do not have to follow and that you are quite capable of original thought. You are capable of new and original ideas. You are capable of thinking for yourself.

New thoughts mean rejecting old ones. This is not always easy. It takes effort to think differently. It takes effort to question what you thought was normal. It takes time to adjust to the idea that a creative person is not ‘normal’.

You don’t want to stay locked up in your tiny, frustrating world where you are spoon fed a bad diet by greedy corporations! Surely, you have had enough of stupid, washed out ideas and lies!

Well start saying no! Stop agreeing with all of the stupidity thrown at you everyday. Stop giving your time to people who don’t deserve your goodness. Stop staring blankly at your TV screen allowing your mind to suck in all of the contrived news stories and misleading ‘facts’.

When you accept stupidity, you become a part of it.

Who are you? What do you really believe. Think about these things. Let your mind take you on imaginative journeys to ideas that you previously rejected. You should rule your fantastically imaginative mind, don’t give control to the corporations.

Play with possibilities. Be happy to entertain strange ideas, play with temporary scenarios.

Believing that anything is a fixed truth in this uncertain infinite existence, sounds pretty stupid to me.

Creative ways to be obvious and get more attention.

If you want to stand out from the crowd as an individual:
You will not do it with clothing.
You will not do it by swearing or being loud or talking clever talk.
You will not do it by pretending you are something that you are not.

You will not do it by being intelligent and interesting.
There is only one way to stand out from the crowd.
There is only one true way to be an individual, a creative person. You must be honest to yourself. Only when you are true to your own heart can you be a true expression of your unique character.

Your character is unique to you. You don’t have to find yourself or redesign yourself. To be that someone special, you only have to relax and be yourself.

Even the so-called rebels in society, conform to dress standards, speech standards and even thought standards that are common to that particular group. They conform to the requirements of the group mind. There is nothing wrong with doing that, if it suits your needs.

You might belong to a club or work in an environment that requires restrictions on your personality. You might be a husband and father in the evening and a police officer in the day. Very different roles need to be played out. If you understand that your work is only a game that you are willing to go along with for the sake of a regular income, then that is fine. However, the real you, needs to express and this should be the situation in your home environment.

I have a black-belt in Tae Kwon Do. That means I have to be sensible and a good example while I am in the school environment. I am willing to compromise parts of my personality when I am in the training hall, in exchange for all of the other benefits I gain. If I want to be my easy-going relaxed self, I am in the wrong place. If I want to make jokes and be noisy, I am in the wrong place.

If you want to be an individual, you need to practice being yourself, initially by yourself. Discover who you really are. it is no big deal, it is usually simply a matter of being more honest with how you feel about different circumstances. Instead of suppressing your feelings. let them out and understand what you really feel and who you really are.  And… you do not have to be nice all of the time!

You cannot expect to be an individual, when you are sharing a group environment. Do your creative thing on your own! Your creativity should not be at the expense of others.
If you find that your job or your social life or your club, stifles your creativity, you can do either of 2 things:
1. Leave and be creative somewhere else or
2. Accept the way that the game is played and enjoy the benefits you gain!

You probably have to conform to be able to earn your income. You even have to conform to enjoy yourself. When you go to the movies, you have to suppress your natural urge to talk and comment on the show. When you are playing a sport, you probably have to suppress your natural urge to bend the rules slightly every now and then!

Social norms such as manners, traditions, families and behavior in public places, force you to change the way you behave. Laws make you compromise. Your bodily functions make you compromise. Driving down the highway constantly requires adjustments and compromise. Walking down the street requires certain acceptable behavior.

In the outer world, for most of the day, you are not free to be yourself. However, in your inner world it is safe to be yourself all of the day.

It is not easy to be true to yourself. Often you will feel foolish when you go against society just so that you can express your personal truth. However, take it one little step at a time and you will find that before long you have become so much more of yourself that you will be constantly confident with who you are!

If you want to be creative, then the real you needs to get out and play a lot!
