Unit 07 Creative Spirtituality Reflection

1. How do you define “spirituality”?

I think spirituality is a kind of inner power for people. It is intangible and invisible. I think it will not be limited by anything no matter for race, religion, and so on. I spirituality should be inherent for everyone so you cannot create it through exercising or other artificial efforts. It is a kind of power beyond the physical power. In addition, I believe that the spirituality can help people to achieve something that cannot be done in general.

2. Does spirituality differ from religion?

I think the answer definitely is yes. I think there three main differences between spirituality and religion. First of all, the religion is always limited by region, race or culture, like the Islam is just popular in the Arabian world. Spirituality does not be limited by anything. Secondly, religion requires their followers to follow the specific religious rules but spirituality does not require people to follow any rules. Thirdly, the religion requires people to study the experiences of god or the thinking of god but spirituality just focus on personal thinking.

3. How do you define “creativity”?

I think creativity is a kind of special ability for human beings. It is a comprehensive ability which means it combines many kinds of abilities together. Creativity is the ability to generate, find, and make new ideas or new things. The most important features of creativity is its novelty and originality. In simple words, these two features mean that the things that be created by creativity must be new and generated by the creator himself.

4. What is the source of creativity?

I think the most important source for creativity is curiosity. I think all of us would feel curious to something and we will find some way to explain it or solve it. During this process, our creativity is inspired and we can go to create something. In addition, I think creativity would be affect by personal knowledge, experience, and personality. Everyone will feel curious to something but not everyone can become an inventor. For example, everyone want to fly as well as birds, but just Brother Wright created plane because they have enough knowledge to do it.
