- High innate Intelligence - Pure Devotion to the art - Incredible work ethic and motivation towards self renewal, progressive thinking - Courage to experiment and try new directions without being held back by normal fears - Being in touch with world influences/trends and being able to organize listening experiences well mentally - Spirituality and meditation which allow an uncluttered mind and gives strength and clarity of mind, which greatly aids original thinking, new ideas by tapping into an unending stream of positive consciousness. - General open mindedness, tolerance, appreciation for diversity, which translates into the creative process --- In [email protected], Vithur <vith...@...> wrote: > > Is creativity really in opposition to education?
