How do you define “spirituality”?

I really like how Ann Hamilton portrayed spirituality in the video of contemporary art. She spoke of how our body is an organ/membrane that absorbs our surroundings and our spirituality is personified depending on how our senses are interpreting what it is around us. I believe in people, objects, surrounding having good vibes and bad vibes and our spirituality at the time is reflected by what my senses are absorbing.

Does spirituality differ from religion?

This is a really touchy subject because there is such a fine line between spirituality and religion. I would say a basic definition of religion is that it is a set of beliefs and practices that a community joins together to with a selective standard in mind. Spirituality although can be the same or similar can differ when someone who is not religious has a set of beliefs or practices that is outside any religion. Spirituality can almost be a reflection of someone’s emotions at a particular time.

How do you define “creativity”?

I believe that spirituality and creativity are very much linked. Just like spirituality, creativity spawns from our nature surroundings. It is the ability to generate concepts and ideas from what our mind and body draws from what is around us. Creativity in my perspective is a great outlet for spirituality and can be seen if many form from all religions.

What is the source of creativity?

Creativity as mentioned above spawns from our nature surroundings and how our mind is interpreting it at the time. This is why almost anyone can be creative at a given time. Musicians throughout time have demonstrated that even when our mind is in an unstable state because of psychedelic drugs, people are still able to be creative. This shows that creativity really is an outlook of what our mind is interpreting our surroundings.
