The world thrives because of the few who imagine and create. It languishes because of the many who do not.
An evil man who imagines and creates does more good than does a supposedly good man who is unimaginative. The supposedly good man may make things, but products he did not imagine. He is simply a machine of meat. He is nothing without the creator to create what he copies.
Humanity is a species of the many as people because of the few.
God favors the imaginative who create what they imagine. He may grant wealth and power to the unworthy but these are not blessings within. He blesses the hearts and minds of the creators, not with happiness, but with inspiration. Even if he curses such a one with an early death, he blesses that the death shall not be in vain. It shall inspire, even as tragedy.
God is the Artist. Creation began as words but when he said “Let there be light” it was illustrated. The figments of his thoughts became shapes and colors. His feelings gave them life.
The soul is the animating agent of the human species. It is the breath of the one who imagined all that began. It is the life of the one who created from the beginning.
Unless you are an angel or a demon, it is in you to
imagine and create. If you fail in this regard, then you are squandering your
very essence.

He wants to see what we will do with what He has given us. To do nothing, is to waste our talents. They can be taken, and given to those who will use them.
ReplyDeleteYes. They existed before Creation itself. The remain with their source even when left in our care.
DeleteWithout creative fruits a supposed good man is just his nature, wasted potential. An evil man who imagines and creates is by far better than a worldly "good" man. Indeed God is The Artist, one of his many gifts to us is his love of imagination and creation. To waste his gifts is to betray our Father, God is Love he wants us to experience what it means to create for our sake.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. A man true to his nature is just an automaton. A man who imagines and creates is a contributor. We are expected by the Lord to contribute.
DeleteWeirdly, I think God likes people who try to do similar things to Himself. He creates and maybe so should we.
ReplyDeleteIt is a waste of the soul not to.
