Anonymous Creativity
Have you ever thought about it? We want to be famous as a writer, as a poet, as a painter, as a politician, as a singer, or what you will. Why?
Because we really don't love what we are doing.

If you loved to sing, or to paint, or to write poems, if you really loved it you would not be concerned with whether you are famous or not. To want to be famous is tawdry, trivial, stupid, it has no meaning; but, because we don't love what we are doing, we want to enrich ourselves with fame. Our present education is rotten because it teaches us to love success and not what we are doing. The result has become more important than the action.

You know, it is good to hide your brilliance under a bushel, to be anonymous, to love what you are doing and not to show off. It is good to be kind without a name. That does not make you famous, it does not cause your photograph to appear in the newspapers. Politicians do not come to your door.

You are just a creative human being living anonymously, and in that there is richness and great beauty.
J. Krishnamurti, The Book of Life

The science of creativity

THE FEYNMAN SERIES - Curiosity

"So, to find out what is true, the mind must first be free, and to be free is extraordinarily hard work, harder than all the practices of yoga.

Such practices merely condition your mind, and it is only the free mind that can be creative.

A conditioned mind may be inventive; it may think up new ideas, new phrases, new gadgets; it may build a dam, plan a new society, and all the rest of it; but that is not creativity. Creativity is something much more than the mere capacity to acquire a technique.

It is because this extraordinary thing called creativity is not in most of us that we are so shallow, empty, insufficient. And only the mind that is free can be creative."

J.Krishnamurti
Collected Works, Vol. X",165,Individual and Society
"If science always insists that a new order must be immediately fruitful, or that it has some new predictive power, then creativity will be blocked.

New thoughts generally arise with a play of the mind, and the failure to appreciate this is actually one of the major blocks to creativity. Thought is generally considered to be a sober and weighty business.

But here it is being suggested that creative play is an essential element in forming new hypotheses and ideas.

Indeed, thought which tries to avoid play is in fact playing false with itself. Play, it appears, is the very essence of thought.

This notion of falseness that can creep into play of thought is shown in the etymology of the words illusion, delusion, and collusion, all of which have as their Latin root ludere, "to play."

So illusion implies playing false with perception; delusion, playing false with thought; collusion, playing false together in order to support each other's illusions and delusions.

When thought plays false, the thinker may occasionally recognize this fact, and express it in the above words. Unfortunately, however, our English language does not have a word for thought which plays true.

Perhaps this is a reflection of a work ethic which does not consider the importance of play and suggests that work itself is noble while play is, at best, recreational and, at worst, frivolous and non-serious.

However, to observe children at play is to realize the serious intensity of their energy and concentration."

Noam Chomsky - Constraint and Creativity

"Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied.

Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation."
