What is action and activity
Before talking further about creativity, it is necessary to understand that creativity is a derivative of a mature personality, that is, the transition from working on oneself to directly transforming the world by creating something new in any field of activity. Creativity is the action itself. Action and activity are diametrically opposite phenomena in essence. And here we will consider the meanings of these words applicable for a better understanding of our nature and the processes taking place inside us.
How does action and activity arise? There is a very fine line between the two of them that needs to be realized. Action, for example, arises only from a calm mind and a relaxed state. What happens in a relaxed state? First you need to relax. And do not try to do it with any effort. Just try to imagine yourself as a hollow bamboo. Imagine how the energy flows through you, and try to just observe it. There comes a moment of complete relaxation, all the stagnation of energy is removed, the clamps are removed. And then you begin to be filled with pure and new energy.
Then you yourself will feel how the flow of energy will go out of you, you will want to do something from the soul - this will be the action! For example, on a walk in spring, sometimes poems add up by themselves. There is relaxation in action. Action is always creative.
Activity is the exact opposite of action. It originates from the depths of our subconscious, from the piggy bank of all our experiences and negative experiences. Everything that was once suppressed in us has been experienced, and any violence done to ourselves always remains in the subconscious (unless, of course, we work with it) and one day it will still break out, but in a very unsightly form. And for the time being we do not feel it, we just feel tired, irritated. It is then that activity arises, or I would call it a fuss inside. The activity is continuous and it always bears the problems of the past. Activity is not a response to any event, it is rather an outpouring of one's anxiety, brought from the past to the present day. And so it destroys you, it destroys others. Action is creative.
For example, if you are hungry and therefore eat, this is an action.
But if you are not hungry and continue to eat, this is already an activity. Yes, you yourself have noticed in moments when they are nervous, for example, that they are either fidgeting in their hands, or smoking, or eating, or talking insanely. It is an escape from oneself. There is a kind of violence here. Remember, when they get angry, they clench their teeth harder, everything is tense inside, too, and shifting all this to a cigarette, food, chatter, it seems to become easier and internal tension weakens. There is no free flow in the activity, everything is forced. The activity is very similar to the content. But our mind constantly finds some justification for our activities. He tries to prove that it is so necessary that this is an action. This is done in order not to be aware of the situation. This obscures the mind and the activity continues.
In order to get rid of this condition, you just need to consciously and slowly observe your actions and the undesirable action will disappear by itself. But if you try to overcome yourself, then this will also be an activity.
And if it disappears by itself, then it will be doubly good, since there will be no food for the ego either, since you have not overcome anyone. Once again, lighting a cigarette, watch your actions, the way you bring the cigarette to your lips, how you slowly inhale and one day you will understand the absurdity of your actions, and the cigarette itself will fall out of your fingers.
Action is beautiful, but activity is ugly and destroys the human soul. Be meditatively relaxed, aware and creative. Many great teachers realized that only in a relaxed state and with an empty mind can divine wisdom enter into you. You will definitely like it exporntoons.net porn of various genres!
