The Spark of Creativity Creativity is notoriously difficult to define, yet it s at the core of all innovation and human advancement. The things that bring us joy and satisfaction, and all the practical solutions that make our lives better, were once a spark of creativity in a person s mind. In Gnosticism, the divine spark is the portion of God that resides within each human being. The purpose of life is to enable the Divine Spark to be released from its captivity in matter and reestablish its connection with, or simply return to, God, who is perceived as being the source of the Divine Light.
Creativity is at the core of innovation. We rely on innovation for advancing humanity, as well as for pleasure and entertainment. Creativity underlies so much of what we value as humans, says Jonathan Schooler, a professor of psychology and brain sciences at the University of California. This morning, 4 compositions of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770- 1827) are presented.
