Creating from the Spirit

Living Each Day as a Creative Act

Award-winning writer Dan Wakefield reveals how writers, artists, musicians, and creative people of all kinds can unleash the principle of creativity within so that it can infuse every aspect of our lives. Wakefield challenges the belief that to be creative, one must be alienated, neurotic, irresponsible, and a failure at relationships. Drawing on examples from religion, philosophy, and literature Creating from the Spirit teaches us that the key to creation is clarity of body, mind, and spirit. Wakefield explains the art of "emptying" the mind, then "filling up" by accessing natural perceptions and hidden creative resources.
