Become Creative Energy. (Episode 110.)
Interview with Jorge Lopez-Doriga, Chief Communication and Sustainability Officer at AJE.
In my job as The Creativity Explorer I get to meet so many very creative people. People who embody the very essence of creativity. It’s the best part of my job and a privilege.
I can live on these meetings for days. I recall one of these unforgettable meetings held sometime back, with Jorge Lopez-Doriga, Chief Communication and Sustainability Officer at AJE – the 5th largest beverage company in the world.
I wish I would have just recorded our conversation and put it up as a podcast, because it’s hard to summarise Jorge’s views on creativity, but I will try. But in honor of our conversation I will not just reference what was said, instead I will take the creative liberty to publish the essence of the message of our conversation about creativity. Some of these lines Jorge said, some of it I wrote based on what he said.
Read it slow and reflect.
Become Creative Energy.
– There is no separation between you and the world.
– What you see is energy that functions.
– All the past and all the future is included in today.
– When you access the source of everything, you enter the creative source.
– It gives you a vision of what to do.
– Get rid of your point of view. When you do, you get the whole picture.
– The world is being created and dissolved at every instance.
– Do not hold on to your ideas. You need to constantly question your approach.
– Ideas are not yours, they pass through you.
– Connect with the infinite unknown.
– Find the source where all is coming from.
– Turn the creative light inwards. They are called in-sights after all. The direction is clear. Go inwards.
– When you look at the surface of the mind you only see what is shallow. The surface is choppy, the calm is in the deep. Dive down there.
– Ideas come to us. They are not yours. Make sure you are open enough to receive them. Remove the interference.
– Do not just listen, become listening.
– When you really listen and see, you do not see objects or hear sounds – you see energy.
– Aim for a space that is a combination of emptiness and consciousness.
– This is not something you have to learn – it’s something you have to remember.
– Real art is transparent, you do not see paint and a canvas, you see something else.
– Creativity in the natural revolution – you have to find your source of creativity.
– It’s about returning to the source.
– Become the question – but do not look for the answer.
– When you ask questions all doors are open. When you look for answers all doors close except one.
– The problem with answers is that they make you think you know something.
– When you tap the creative source you cannot help but to respond – you get so much energy.
– How can you be tired with all the energy that exists in the source?
Become Creative Energy.
