# Creativity > Creativity is the nature of consciousness itself, requiring alignment with frequency rather than acquisition, with blocks serving as messages and imagination pointing to achievable purposes - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/creativity # Creativity *One attentive maker works at a central table while several distinct creative practices radiate outward* Creativity, in Bashar's teaching, is not a talent you sometimes have and sometimes lack; it is the nature of what you are. You are consciousness at a certain pitch, and because you are creation itself, you cannot help but create — every state of being, every belief, every action is a creative act. The work is therefore not to acquire creativity but to align with the frequency of it so that what flows through you reflects who you prefer to be, rather than the unconscious definitions you have inherited. ## Be on the frequency first The primary principle Bashar states is that you must allow yourself to be on the frequency of creativity before the inspiration, insight, or intuition will appear. > — Opening Floodgates Of Creativity (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/opening-floodgates-of-creativity) You do not wait for creativity in order to feel inspired; you allow yourself to act inspirationally, and the perception that matches that state then becomes available. This is framed explicitly as physics rather than philosophy: as you vibrate, so your reality is reflected to you, and you cannot perceive what you are not the vibration of. > — Opening Floodgates Of Creativity (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/opening-floodgates-of-creativity) The television-set analogy makes the mechanism concrete — every program may be in the airwaves, but only the channel you are tuned to becomes visible. > — Opening Floodgates Of Creativity (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/opening-floodgates-of-creativity) Because perception follows state, a person who finds only a few options in sight is receiving a signal that their frequency is low; becoming excited and curious again opens the imagination and the options together. > — Opening Floodgates Of Creativity (qa-4), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/opening-floodgates-of-creativity) Excitement is described elsewhere as the compass needle that points to your true north, your magnetic norm — so following it is not indulgence but alignment with the creative self. > — Excitement In Working With Colors And Costume Design (qa-7), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/excitement-in-working-with-colors-and-costume-design) ## Creativity is your nature, not a tool Bashar distinguishes creativity sharply from a tool or talent you sometimes use. It is your very nature: you are the creator, you are creation itself, and in all reality you cannot help but create. Everything you do is a creation, and "creating anew" is simply exploring a new perspective of the creation you already are. > — New Metaphysics Creativity (qa-4), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/new-metaphysics-creativity) Carried further, creativity is consciousness recognizing itself in different ways — every being is one of the ways All That Is looks at itself, and that recognition is what creates creation. > — Remembering (qa-18), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/remembering) The practical consequence is that you never truly backslide: even when you create negatively, you are still exercising the same creative mechanism, only pointed at a definition you would now prefer to revise. This reframing turns creative service into alignment rather than effort. The guidance given to someone building a public project is to act on the highest creative excitement and joy, because that energy is the frequency of the true core self; expressing yourself in the most creative way you can imagine is being aligned with your self-chosen purpose. > — Breaking The Seals (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/breaking-the-seals) ## Imagination, fantasy, and the doorways A key distinction is drawn between imagination and fantasy. Both are real, but imagination resonates with what is achievable within the specific physical life and personality construct you have chosen, whereas fantasy is real yet applies to other lives, dimensions, or density levels of consciousness. > — New Metaphysics Creativity (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/new-metaphysics-creativity) The implication for practice is that the images and impulses that "feel achievable" in this life are not arbitrary — they are the resonance vibration of your actual purposes here, and treating them as live options is the doorway between where you are and where your excitement is leading. When concrete doorways seem missing, Bashar's repeated instruction is to find or make them. Asked how someone could move toward costume design without formal education or work history, he points to learning, apprenticeship, and creating openings: when someone is truly excited about something, they will make or find whatever doorways they need. > — Excitement In Working With Colors And Costume Design (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/excitement-in-working-with-colors-and-costume-design) A project that expresses your vision but fails to attract participants is likewise treated as a clarity problem — clarify what needs clarification. > — Choices And Opportunities (qa-11), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/choices-and-opportunities) ## Blocks are signposts, not walls A creative block, in this teaching, is only a block until you give it a purpose. Once allowed to have a purpose, it lights up, reveals its true nature, and becomes one of the messages you came here to explore. > — New Metaphysics Creativity (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/new-metaphysics-creativity) The deeper allowance is that nothing is an interruption of your path until you choose to view it that way; the apparent off-path experience is itself a creative exploration of separation from the All That Is. If blocks occupy most of your time, the signal may be that the study of blocks is the creative exploration that will unblock you. > — New Metaphysics Creativity (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/new-metaphysics-creativity) The same principle appears in reframing a "failed" outcome. A sexual encounter that did not happen is not a failure; the question is how it served you and what it showed you — if it revealed that you cut yourself off from people, then it was a complete success, and now that you know what you were showing yourself, let that be all right and do not judge yourself. > — Faith (qa-9), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/faith) ## Shortcuts through association Creativity, Bashar says, bespeaks of shortcuts, because it is the making of associations between things that on certain levels do not appear to be associated. By making that leap of connectivity you shorten any path; what looked like 500 steps may collapse into one, and physical reality will begin to reflect those shortcuts as spontaneous opportunities you could not have perceived before. > — Opening Floodgates Of Creativity (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/opening-floodgates-of-creativity) This is also why multi-sensory integration nourishes creativity: by allowing every doorway and all of imagination to be valid, you give yourself ultimate options, and ultimate options make you unlimited creatively. > — New Metaphysics Creativity (qa-6), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/new-metaphysics-creativity) A worked example is the writer who chokes up reading passages of his book aloud. The characters are autonomous on some level, but the writing is also the writer's own therapy — bringing out aspects of his consciousness and interpreting them within the greater being that he is. The tears he sheds carry the literal chemistry of the beliefs being released; they are, in his body's terms, tears of joy. > — Motivational Mechanism Expectations Overcoming Challenges (qa-4), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/motivational-mechanism-expectations-overcoming-challenges) Creative work and inner healing turn out to be one motion. ## Insanity and genius share one mechanism Bashar offers an unsettling but useful distinction: insanity and genius are the same mechanism, differing only in communication. Those you label insane are perceiving a foreseen reality (future memory, precognition) no less real than the mass-agreed-upon one, but they keep it separated and incommunicable. Genius is simply someone who does not create that separation — who can bring the foreseen reality into the present and communicate it. > — New Metaphysics Creativity (qa-3), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/new-metaphysics-creativity) The creative channel, in other words, depends less on rare talent than on refusing to wall off what you already perceive. ## Listening for the song you are A final, sensory teaching: creative emergence is often a process of coming out of a shell. Hearing dampening was read not as damage but as the muffling of a reality the person was just breaking into, still immersed in embryonic fluid. The prescription was to listen closely to the sounds of birds, because the patterns and information in birdsong can train the nerves to hear in specific ways, and by analogy assist you to spread your wings and fly in that particular sonic endeavor — to find your own song. > — Overcoming Inertia (qa-7), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/overcoming-inertia) Creativity, here, is the act of attuning the senses until what was muffled becomes the medium you create with. ## Practical implications What these transcripts support for a learner is concrete and bounded: Treat a dry spell as a frequency problem before a talent problem. Ask what would genuinely excite you right now — even a walk that looks unrelated — and act on it; the shift in state is what reopens the work, not the activity itself. > — Opening Floodgates Of Creativity (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/opening-floodgates-of-creativity) When only a few options are visible, do not push the options; raise the frequency. Curiosity and excitement are the levers that widen sight. > — Opening Floodgates Of Creativity (qa-4), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/opening-floodgates-of-creativity) Stop classifying a block as a block. Give it a purpose — even "this block is showing me what I believe about my own creativity" — and let it light up as a message. > — New Metaphysics Creativity (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/new-metaphysics-creativity) Use imagination, not fantasy, as the test of direction. The images and impulses that resonate as achievable in this life are pointing at your actual purposes; fantasy is real but is pointing elsewhere. > — New Metaphysics Creativity (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/new-metaphysics-creativity) Find or make the doorway rather than waiting for permission. Apprenticeship, classes, self-teaching, and simply beginning are all valid routes. > — Excitement In Working With Colors And Costume Design (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/excitement-in-working-with-colors-and-costume-design) If a creative project is not attracting what it needs, clarify the vision you are actually communicating; the attraction mirrors the clarity. > — Choices And Opportunities (qa-11), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/choices-and-opportunities) Let creative work also be inner work. The art you make can carry and release beliefs whose chemistry is literally moving through you as you make it. > — Motivational Mechanism Expectations Overcoming Challenges (qa-4), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/motivational-mechanism-expectations-overcoming-challenges) Reframe nonpreferred outcomes as feedback rather than failure. The question is always how the result served you and what it showed you. > — Faith (qa-9), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/faith) These implications are descriptive of Bashar's framework, not medical, psychological, or professional advice; where creative blocks coincide with distress that interferes with daily life, the appropriate move is to combine this framing with qualified support. ## Representative passages The primary principle of allowing yourself to open the floodgates of creativity is to allow yourself to be on that frequency, on that bandwidth, first. ... you cannot perceive what you are not the vibration of. This is not just a pleasant sounding philosophy, this is a description of physics. You are energy, you are a vibration of consciousness. As you vibrate, so your reality is reflected to you.— Bashar, Creativity in and of itself bespeaks of shortcuts, because creativity is about the idea of making associations to things that on certain levels do not appear to be associated. By making the leap of connectivity, you in fact will shorten any path that may have previously existed for you to manifest or attain anything.— Bashar, Your creativity is not something separate from yourself. It is not in all reality merely a tool that you use, a talent that you have. It is exactly your very nature. You are the creator. You are creation itself. In all reality, you cannot really help yourself but create.— Bashar, The first idea of removing creative blocks is to simply allow each and every idea in your reality to be a part of what you chose to experience ... And once you allow the block to have a purpose, it is no longer a block. It will light up, rather than being the dark wall or obstacle or void in which you felt yourself to exist, it will light up, reveal its true nature, and become one of the messages you wished to explore in this physical life.— Bashar, We do not consider imagination to be reality and fantasy to be non-reality. We consider both imagination and fantasy to be reality. ... the idea we call imagination will be the resonance vibration that represents the purposes that are achievable within a relative degree of physical reality manifestable ... Fantasy will also be real, but simply not applicable to this particular physical life.— Bashar, Those that you label insane are simply those that have not allowed themselves to activate the mechanism of communication that brings their foreseen reality into the present. ... Genius, in your terminology, is simply someone who does not create for themselves the separation of their foreseen reality, their future memory, their precognition, their knowingness into their present state of existence.— Bashar, When someone is truly excited about something, they will make whatever doorways or find whatever doorways they need to.— Bashar, Pay close attention to the sounds that your birds make. There are sounds and patterns and information within that that can train your nerves to hear in specific ways, and by analogy will also assist you to spread your wings and fly in that particular sonic endeavor.— Bashar, ## Related - [Excitement](https://sassani.app/topic/excitement) - [Imagination](https://sassani.app/topic/imagination) - [Inspiration](https://sassani.app/topic/inspiration) - [The Formula](https://sassani.app/topic/the-formula) - [Channeling](https://sassani.app/topic/channeling) - [Definitions & Beliefs](https://sassani.app/topic/definitions-and-beliefs) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/creativity.
