Facing The Creator
In my experience working in creative industries, or engaging in any activity with passion and care, I have found 5 creator’s manners of Self-knowing:

1. A search for what is our own, our essential nature, the operating system of our true individuality.
The closer we come to ourselves, the more we know about ourselves, in some essential yet unknown parts of us, the outer expression mirrors the inner direction. The creative content and the style produced directly correspond with our beliefs, attitudes, and every element of our being.
2. Observing our conditioned personality; the settlement of our upbringing, education, and the unique collection of our experiences.
Creative work reflects our personality as a whole. What we experience in our lives will eventually make its way into our creative expression. No matter what our mode of inquiry (autobiography, realism, fiction, or non-representation), we often see a good deal of ourselves reflected in our work.
3. The creative process demands that we venture towards balanced development.
While a connection does exist between creativity and madness, the greatest art arises from the search for wholeness of body and spirit. Body, mind, and feelings; all must be equal participants in a creative act. And yet, for most artists, these are out of balance and unequally developed.
4. Art reveals our cultural heritage, allowing us to observe the societal attitudes as well as generational standards that have influenced us literally from the moment we were born.
We each must admit a self-evident, but easily overlooked truth: we are children of our time. There is no doubt that cultural factors drive many aspects of our creative expression, and these elements are extremely difficult to recognize because they are so deeply implanted into our conditioned personalities. In response, observing our artistic effort through the lens of our cultural attitudes can be a very useful exercise.
5. Art is a means towards discovery and Self-expression.
Art is a niche that provides an open space for the individual to realize themself in knowing themself. Art can help us find our way back to what we already know, already are, always have been, and always will be._
