How do you define “spirituality”?

To me, spirituality is a unseen thing, it is something that is felt. It is sort of like a personal transformation from real life, to this unknown place of contentment and joy. Spirituality can occur over whatever a person is passionate about, there is no boxes that the definition is put in, it is a term that can be used very broadly or specifically, depending on who you are.

Does spirituality differ from religion?

Religion is based on a specific belief, such as buddhism or christianity. These are specific categories of religion, that come with specific stories and beliefs that everyone who is religious believes in (Jesus for example, or buddha are both believed as the all mighty and powerful of those specific religions). People who are religious typically attend church or other ceremonies that join like people together to celebrate in their beliefs. Spirituality is more of an independent activity in my perspective. It is a feeling, and there aren’t specific stories or leaders that are connected to your own spiritual beliefs.

How do you define “creativity”?

I think creativity is the ability to create or imagine things that are different and made by new ideas and concepts. It is difficult to define, but I also think it is a type of personal expression that describes your unique approach to something, whether it be art, music, dance, etc. It starts with a person’s imagination, and taking a new idea and turning it into reality. Creativity is such a broad topic (as are the other terms), but creativity can range from a scientist finding a new cure to cancer, to a new form of art being created, or an amazing novel that changes the way society looks at a particular idea.

What is the source of creativity?

Creativity and spirituality go hand in hand. Just as the reading says, to find your true self and be at your most creative, you need to find your spiritual connection with your artwork. I think something that makes you feel emotions deep within and look at the bigger picture is the beginning source of creativity, and can lead to great outcomes.
