To any human being who has an interest, care, and passion for creation, and for the creative impulse that is genuine and pure within oneself and in the world, it is advised to inquire into the role of the mind's activity, which includes thinking and imagination, in that process.
From years of inquiry into this, it is very clear to me that the role of the mind is to meet not knowing, not as participants, but rather to acknowledge that this is its true quality.
In other words, only a mind that does not know is capable of channeling and participating in creation.
Naturally, such a mind does not intervene, does not participate in the sense of acting; rather, its not-knowing participates in the ocean of creation.
The mind swims in that ocean, lost in not knowing.
Then creation reveals itself, maybe yes, maybe no, but upon its own movement.
And the movement of creation can never be known or recognized.
It can only exist as it is, always has been, and always will be.
So inquire into the nature of the mind that is lost in not knowing.
And in that loss, it is found as the ocean of not knowing, as the creative essence in not knowing.
This thing must be real, not experienced, and carry a good or bad impression, being useful or not. Not that.
It should come to life; it should be allowed to have its own living.
