Every human being has a need to create. But if they haven’t developed the faculties that allow them to connect with higher realms, their works will be nothing more than copies, reproductions, and not true creations. It’s exactly like when fathers and mothers reproduce their own weaknesses and deficiencies in their children: they call it creation, but in reality, it’s only reproduction.
True creation calls upon elements of a spiritual nature. The artist who wants to create must transcend themselves, surpass themselves; that is to say, through prayer, meditation, and contemplation, they must seek out elements in the celestial realms. Only then will their works possess elements capable of transcending the ordinary level of consciousness and truly deserve the name “creation.”
