Creative Reciprocity: Micro to Macro, Micro to Macro

"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular." -Carl Jung

"From the very nature of the inner conditions of creativity it is clear that they cannot be forced, but must be permitted to emerge." -Carl Rogers

"Art is a way of emptying the mind and centering the self." -Alan Watts

Great destruction takes place when there is no outlet for the creative spirit. (an idea attributed to Carl Jung and Marie von Franz)

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” -Albert Einstein
