I remember when I was young and saw a TV documentary about the science of the human body and what a miraculous thing it was. This was in the 1970s and it was a revelation to us all, I was blown away. It not only educated me on the complexity and intricacy of our physique it also instilled in me a lot of respect for the amazing creatures we are. And if that isn’t enough, it’s even more profound when you consider the metaphysical side of us which is in itself a marvel.

I’ll take that one step further. I’ve come to believe in the wonder of the subconscious. It’s the Shangri-La of creativity. Ideas and inspiration seem to pop out of thin air. I’d even venture to say that this is where savants spend their time! They have uninhibited access to their subconscious and are not diverted by that chattering voice many of us have in our heads. That’s how I’ve come to see it over my many years of struggling to be a creative person. The struggle is the problem. You can find some great content on creativity online from John Cleese and David Deutsch. These two men have greatly influenced my views on creativity.

Science has given us incredible insight into our world and led us down the garden path to discover the increasing wonder of life. The greater the insight, the more grandeur. I love this video with the late physicist Richard Feynman. He talked about a discussion he had with a friend, an artist, about the beauty of a flower. Science is the symphony through which we can experience a flower’s ascending beauty. See the video, “Richard Feynman’s, The Beauty of the Flower”, below.
