True creations. True creativity is associated with true faith

We are accustomed to correlating the concept of creativity mainly with its manifestations in different types of art - in other words, we see creativity where it is clearly manifested: these are paintings by artists, poetry, music, dance ... But true creativity is far from only that. Rather, only its familiar manifestations are listed above, but creativity is much more voluminous and all-encompassing, it is like the air that permeates our entire existence: in fact, it is a manifestation of the Spirit in us.

Creativity is not thought. It has nothing to do with the left or right hemispheres of the brain. None at all. The left hemisphere is mental, it is connected with mental activity, on the one hand. But then they start talking about the right hemisphere, where creativity is contained. But there is no creativity in your mind. Not a drop. These are the parts of the brain that can be stimulated by creativity and can express it, but creativity is not in your mind. There is no creativity in thought. There is nothing creative in the mind as such. It is not a source of creativity. Certain parts of the mind are stimulated by creativity, and you use them to express yourself—dance, music, drawing, writing. But it's just an expression.

True creativity is your Spirit

It is almost impossible to measure or appreciate it, but you can feel it. Feel into the word "creation" - to create, to give birth. Your consciousness creates life, brings something to life.

You won't be able to work on it. You won't be able to put in the effort. There are no mental exercises. But you can afford it. Don't try to understand him. Don't try to think about how you will start using it. Just return to the Spirit expressing itself in life.

You just take a deep breath and, in this mind game, allow.

If you were asked about your mood and energy level, about your balance, you would try to answer from your mind, from a mental assessment. Now take the answer from your Spirit - how do you feel? Based on your Spirit, your innate ability to create, to bring life into life itself, how do you feel? Going beyond the mood, which is very mental, just feeling life, your life?

Going beyond the question "what is your energy level?". And you come back with a mental assessment. But in the Spirit there are no restrictions for energy. It is a flow and allowing that flow to flow through you. Do you want the flow to be smooth and soft so that you can really feel it? Do you want the flow to be fast and dynamic? He doesn't have a level. There is only an expression. There are no limits for energy.

Question about your balance. What is your balance? Today it deviates to the left, tomorrow to the right, the day after tomorrow it goes up, the next day it goes down. Creativity does not need balance. The mind needs it, but the creative principle does not. Spirit does not need balance. The Spirit is you. This is the nature of consciousness. Consciousness is awareness. Anything can be created from awareness. Anything can be imagined. You can understand anything. Not mentally, not through linear thoughts.

A beautiful expression: "Consciousness creates when it smiles." Just. Consciousness only smiles and new worlds are created. New realities are emerging. New experiences become available. Consciousness smiles when it experiences “I Exist. I am". It smiles when it has this awareness, and then the spirit of consciousness creates.

Mind has little to do with creation, creativity, or Spirit. He will allow it to come and be part of his reality, but he will not be the source. The source is you. In fact, the mind in its attempt will sort of copy creativity, try to fake creativity - in fact, it will create problems in your life in order to try to solve them, to pretend to be creative.

But this is not creativity, this is just an unpleasant loop, a bad habit. Do you have to keep creating problems to think you are solving them? No.


Feel your true creative nature. The ability to create, imagine and bring something to life without thinking, without the need for mental focus, hypnosis, mind control. Spirit. Realization. Some of you might say, "But I've never been much of a creative person." Let's change this game of consciousness.

You are absolute creativity. Some of you might be thinking right now, “What am I supposed to do with this now? How to grab it? How can I take this with me? How can I be sure that I won't lose it? My friends, this is always a part of you. Always. You can't really lose it. But you can definitely afford it.

And the mind jumps in and starts asking questions: “Is it big? Is there a lot of it? And what can I do with it? Can I create a magical castle with unicorns and such?” Take a deep breath... You don't have to control it. You don't have to, and you really can't make it manifest. You just need to be aware. As soon as you realize this, as soon as you feel this Spirit, creation, yourself, it suddenly comes back to life. You don't have to tell him how, when, how much or how little. No, because true creativity is free. The spirit is free.

True Spirit does not need you to dictate details to him - how fast, what size, what color. This is the beauty of your creativity. It is difficult for the mind to imagine, because the mind wants to evaluate, control, measure. But no, the Spirit is beautiful because it is beyond such things. It does not need to be directed to any action. This is the beauty of creativity. You don't direct it. You are not manipulating them. This is the beauty of the Spirit. It's just life, the birth of life.

One of the greatest pleasures of being a mindful creator is that you don't have to control it. Creativity responds naturally to you. In fact, it cannot be controlled.

Think of creativity as the next level of reality, reflection, duality - you see yourself. For a long time we had what is called duality. Duality allowed itself to be experienced.

But now we are moving beyond duality and entering into true creativity - this is the mirror in which you see yourself. In other words, creativity, Spirit - when it is not controlled, when it is not controlled and manipulated - responds directly to you. He belongs to you.

When your consciousness smiles with the knowledge "I Exist", then creativity creates a perfect reflection in the material world, in all other realities. When your consciousness smiles, in other words, when you allow your awareness to be, then creativity creates the ideal reality for you. No control needed. No need to develop, design, build and maintain. It's just happening. This is what freedom is.

With your creativity, mood, energy levels and balance actually become insignificant, lose their meaning. Long before you had a physical body, long before you burdened yourself with a human existence on this planet, your consciousness smiled - and everything just appeared. Everything came alive. No plan, no goal. Everything just came true. Long before you came to this planet, long before there were spiritual families, angelic families, it was just you and your creativity.


So, you can go beyond just using your creativity to solve a few problems. Allow the Spirit to manifest, become a part of your life - not only to solve some human household, financial, physical or emotional issues, it is such a waste for true creativity in your life.

And you ask: “Should I start dancing or painting?” No, these are just manifestations. You can do this, but just let creativity come into your life, don't control it.

Creativity will replace duality in your life as a way to really see yourself as a new mirror.

True creativity lives in modernity

Ilya Pateleevich Ovcharenko lived a bright, but intense and eventful life. Honored Artist of Ukraine, laureate of the State Prize of the Ukrainian SSR named after T. G. Shevchenko, unfortunately, passed away early. He died on August 25, 1978 at the 52nd year, literally one month before his birthday . In the obituary published the next day in the Voroshilovgradskaya Pravda newspaper, on a spread, there are words about Ilya Panteleevich as a sensitive and principled person who devoted all his work to his native land and Soviet art. It was also said that the bright memory of him will remain forever. Buried in Lugansk. None of his relatives and friends were left in the city. Now only the monuments created by his hands and the blessed memory of his students and colleagues in the art workshop have become a reminder of the iconic sculptor of the past era.

From the biography

The real son of our region. I.P. Ovcharenko was born in 1926 in the village of Moiseevka, Melovsky district. There in 1934. went to a rural elementary school, which he graduated just before the war. Immediately, at the age of 15, he began to work. In those years after the “seven-year plan”, a person with such an education was considered quite educated. Especially in the countryside. Having matured early, he worked as a weigher, a postman, was in charge of the current, and then - at the defensive line. Was surrounded on the Don and in the occupation. After the liberation of his native village from the Nazi invaders, Ilya Ovcharenko joins the Komsomol, continuing to work on the collective farm. Fellow villagers trust him to manage the cash register of the economy. However, young Ilya, having decided to show his talent and his craving for art, hidden from others, in 1944 entered the Voroshilovgrad Art School. After graduating from college in 1949 (under the masters-teachers V. Agibalov and V. Fedchenko), he entered Kharkov University at the correspondence department of the Faculty of History. However, due to family circumstances, he was forced to give up this occupation. Meanwhile, the craving for knowledge and the desire to get a higher education encourage him to continue his studies again - as an external student at the Voroshilovgrad Pedagogical Institute, majoring in history. In addition, I. Ovcharenko began to teach special disciplines at the city children's art school. In the archives of Lugansk, now National, University. T. G. Shevchenko preserved a matrikul - student I. Ovcharenko's record book, where the grades "excellent" and "good" were given in 29 disciplines. A serious attitude to study, a mature inquisitiveness of the student earned him the respect of teachers. Some have developed friendships. He knew how to find people who were interested not only in grades, company or fishing, but also in literature, history, ethnography, even comparative anatomy.

By nature, I.P. Ovcharenko was sensitive and versatile, many -

true friend, good family man. His inner fortitude and completeness were attractive to other people who were drawn to him for advice and friendship. Years and a common interest in the image and life of V. Dahl connected the sculptor with a well-known circle of like-minded people. At the beginning with assistant professor-philologist Ivan Mikhalko, then doctors Valentin Nestaiko and Yuri Enenko. Love for the Ukrainian language - with writers Mikita Cherniavsky and Taras Rybas. The artist was easy to communicate with. By the way, Ilya Panteleevich often communicated with friends in Ukrainian, preferred to wear an embroidered shirt, adored Moscow-baked rye bread.

Creation

Ilya Panteleevich sought to dominate the work, and not be its slave.

The work of a sculptor is diverse: from an intense search for an idea, creative imagination to hard physical labor. Like a director, he lives the story of a hero, like a blacksmith he processes the firmament. IN Lugansk there are more than 40 monumental figures, busts, sculptural groups and obelisks. The vast majority of monuments belong to the Soviet and post-Soviet era. Of these, three, but really monumental, created in collaboration with colleagues by the sculptor I.P. Ovcharenko are–a monument to the "Worker of the Lugansk Region" on Sovetskaya Street, a memorial sign to the dead railway workers of the Voroshilovgrad region near the Palace of Culture on the street. Pushkin, monument "Vladimir DalCossack Lugansk.

Significant for Luhansk was the sculpture "To the Worker of the Lugansk Region", installed in 1967 in the city center on the street. Soviet. The concrete monument naturally fit into the urban silhouette and became a symbol of the city. And few people know that the idea and project of the monument (1961) belong to Ilya Ovcharenko. The 9-meter giant, which is popularly called "The Man with the Torch", was sculpted in collaboration with the famous Lugansk artist I. M. Chumak.

Sculptor and teacher, I. Ovcharenko was at the center of that artistic era, the symbols of which were the "Unconquered", the monuments of the history of which must be told. He was her core, her driving force.

The main business of the sculptor is the creation for the first time in the world of a monument and a portrait of the Cossack Lugansk - Vladimir Ivanovich Dahl. Ilya Ovcharenko is the author, in general, of the first sculptural portrait of Vladimir Dal in Russia and the world. Before him, there was nothing like it. However, the sculptor did not wait for his "finest hour". The monument was erected after his death, in 1981. Thus, the authors of the monument are the sculptors I. P. Ovcharenko, V. E. Orlov and the architect G. G. Golovchenko. However, the bust "Vladimir Dal", installed in September 1979 in Lugansk on the territory of the regional oncological dispensary (Krasnodonskaya St., 14), should be considered the first sculpture, on the initiative and assistance of the head physician, writer Yuri Alekseevich Enenko.

The desire to know the image of Vladimir Dal, to penetrate into its historical depth and understand the significance, was constantly present in the work of Ilya Ovcharenko. Almost 30 years old!

After that, co-authors and followers appeared. In fact, he is the founder of the interest that arose among local artists in the personality and life of a great fellow countryman. These are sculptors: Nikolai Bunin, Vasily Orlov, Nikolai Mozhaev, Grigory Sleptsov, Alexander Redkin, artists Nadezhda Monastyrskaya and Viktor Skubak.

True creativity lives in the present. The sculptor's world is a world of three dimensions. Volumetric world. Sculptural art cannot be without personality, without deepening into oneself. . Only the desire to understand, first of all, oneself and one's desires, leads to the knowledge of another person.

“He was a deep, thorough person who knew how to make friends and respect the work of others,” recalls Ilya Panteleevich Ovcharenko, his colleague, People's Artist of the LPR, Honored Artist of Ukraine, sculptor Alexander Arkhipovich Redkin.

- By the will of fate, Ilya Panteleevich was a reviewer of my thesis after graduating in 1952 from an art school. First, let's say, reputation. Too bad we don't have collaborations. Although Ilko, this is how his friends and colleagues addressed him, on this occasion, often joked." joked: " You, Sashko, already have cn and the authorship of the poets is low”.

His colleague, sculptor and co-author Vasily Efimovich Orlov, spoke with sincere warmth about Ilya Panteleevich. The beginning of their creative community was 1966. And the first joint work was the monument to T. G. Shevchenko, installed in the Poltava region, in the village of Sokolova Balka in 1967. The height of the figure is 3.2 meters.

In 1971, joint work on the sculpture “V.I. Dal - Cossack Lugansk. In fact, made of tinted plaster, measuring 80x45x90 cm (the first number indicates the height, the second - the width, the third - the depth - author), it became the prototype (model) of the current monument to the Cossack Lugansk. The next year, all of 1972, the sculptors gave to the creation of a concrete monument. Volumetric form, 4.5 m high, acquired flesh and expressiveness. The model of the monument "Dal - Cossack Lugansk" was made with the co-authorship of architect Georgy Golovchenko. But, this work was not in demand. Injustice kills the mood, dampens the desire to do good. During the life of Ilya Ovcharenko, the monument was never erected. The embodiment of his dream, the installation and installation of the monument in Lugansk came true with the participation of V. Orlov and G. Golovchenko.

Vasily Orlov, who had previously declared himself a master of genre composition in sculpture, emphasized more than once that it was I.P. Ovcharenko who introduced him to a new world of creativity , into the world of creating monumental sculptures.

"Two eyes to work better, lower one"

The artist Ilya Ovcharenko was a prominent figure in the city, skillfully combining creative, teaching and social activities. Since 1952, for almost a quarter of a century, he directed an art school for children. Teaching activity immediately became the main occupation, after graduating from college, his second half of life and work.

It so happened that already at the school, the future sculptor began to rapidly lose his sight. The doctors' verdict, like an echo of the war, was categorical: "If you want to save your eyesight, you need to change your profession." After painful reflections, I. Ovcharenko applied to the Faculty of History of Kharkov University. For ten years he did not pick up a chisel. But when Ovcharenko was appointed director of the children's art school, he had a small workshop at his disposal. At first, he sculpted and hid the work, thinking with fear, what if all this is not right? From here it went that: "Two eyes bachel better, lower alone."

Living with the problems of the school, and then she did not have a permanent address, Ilya Panteleevich with incredible persistence went around the high offices, seeking a suitable room for her, until she got her way. The school received a permanent residence permit on Pochtovaya Street, where it is now located. It is appropriate to bring today's memories of a former student of the city children's art school Sergei Vasilyevich Nekolov, now a college teacher at the Luhansk State Academy of Culture and Arts. M. Matusovsky. “Back in 1968, the children's art school was located in the city center next to the building of the regional administration. She occupied, it seems, three apartments on one site of the first floor of a residential 5-story building. Finding her wasn't easy. Years later, I now understand how much effort it took to open a school for young artists in Lugansk and be responsible for it.”

It is noteworthy that many who graduated from this school, continuing their special education, became professional artists, like S. Nekolov. There are also those who now teach at this school.

- The main thing, according to the recollections of graduates, there they, the children, felt the high demands on them on an equal footing, as well as on real artists. Teacher S. Nekolov recalls an episode that became an event for him: “Ilya Panteleevich Ovcharenko brought his sketch of the monument “Ukraine to the Liberators” in the village of Melovoe to the classroom one day. And he shared his creative plans with us as equals, inviting, as it were, co-authors. I also remember his “vishyvanka”. He often wore it.

He didn't matter. On the contrary, Ilya Panteleevich was open and close. The main feature of his character was human charm, and this does not depend on the profession of a person.

Nowadays, in the center of the urban-type settlement of Melovoe, Luhansk region, on the hill of Glory, there is a memorial complex dedicated to the events of the Great Patriotic War. One of the components of the complex is the majestic monument "Ukraine to the Liberators". The authors of the monument, including I.P. Ovcharenko as a co-author, in 1972 were awarded the State Prize of the Ukrainian SSR. T. G. Shevchenko and the titles of laureates of this award.

In conclusion, the talented sculptor and teacher Ilya Ovchareko, unfortunately, did not fully realize his talent and potential as a creator by the will of fate. However, there are his students, followers in art and good deeds in the life of society. The Luhansk city children's art school also lives a full life, where IP Ovcharenko was its director for a quarter of a century. And it would be right and fair if she bore the name of Ilya Ovcharenko.

Platonov's work is closely connected with his work.And the work of Platonov's artistic prose is always on the verge between literature and philosophy.The desire to show the awakening of the people's consciousness, to express and true art purposefully and purposefully, it.In Lermontov's early work, the theme of loneliness is revealed in the traditions of the poem is literally sung, like a folk song. They are always modern, as they are illuminated by the unfading light of the true. For in his work, Rimsky-Korsakov is exceptionally original, unexpected. This is also reflected in the fact that his symphonic works have, they compare: the vocal line in Rimsky-Korsakov is always valuable in itself and the other world of fairy tales and epic, growing out of the images of folk art.

4 Proverbs and sayings are a reflection of folk wisdom, in them And luck always accompanies the brave: Luck is the companion of the brave, Who The breadth of Russian hospitality is reflected in oral folk art: Although there is no life without bread, there is no true Russian table, if on the table. He explains that the fairy tale is simply Sakharov's work, perhaps in pure truth, and useful: a taste for folk art is brought up. Therefore, his corrections are always embellishments, and usually in songs. In 1798 the first volume of the poet's works was published. The work of Gavril Romanovich Derzhavin developed in the spirit of Russian classicism. The poet considers the truth to be the basis of art, its content, and he saw that the uprising was caused by the most difficult conditions of people's life. And as always, you can’t argue with folk wisdom and the proverb True creativity, real works will find their way to the heart on their own. Fairy tales are also valuable because they always have a hidden meaning, you can’t see it right away. A fairy tale stands out from all types of oral folk art, it is eternal. After all, love, family, work is true happiness. Creativity, as the Slavophils believed, is the highest impulse. The publication of the works of the Slavophiles, commentary literature on them, aroused interest in True art is always popular, since it is the people who speak. The psychology of scientific creativity in general is such that in the process, live speech is always a factor of movement, and oral folk culture is always characterized by so-called personal songs (of one's own composition and gift songs), songs, the type of singing known to them is the only one that seems true. >>>Go<<<

What helps to realize talent, abilities in science, art, in production? What to do if the talent is not recognized, does not bring livelihood? Archpriest Valerian Krechetov, rector of the churches of the Intercession of the Mother of God and the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia in the village of Akulovo, Moscow Region, discusses these and other topics.

Man is created in the image of God, and the prototype is the Creator. Therefore, a person must be a creator. In earthly life we ​​know the names of scientists, writers, poets, artists, sculptors, architects, musicians. And there are spiritual talents, but, as the Apostle Paul testifies, only a spiritual one can speak about them.

The Monk Silouan of Athos, in my opinion, said that if a person living a spiritual life comes to some area of ​​earthly activity, he immediately becomes head and shoulders above his colleagues - the spiritual life is so high, and the view of a spiritual person is so wider than that of an earthly one. specialist. But everything that concerns the spiritual life, and above all true faith, is subject to some kind of unspoken taboo. They also hush up everything that concerns the spiritual life of scientists. Ask the students of Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov about the spiritual life of Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov. Few will be able to say anything. But this was a man who knew the Psalter by heart - 150 psalms! He did not crammed it, but simply prayed, read, apparently, regularly. The Lord gave him, of course, a memory. But when a person has a spiritual dispensation and pays special attention to the spiritual life, then he succeeds in all respects.

Alexander Vasilievich Suvorov, Generalissimo, who did not lose a single battle, ended his life as a psalmist - he served in the church, read psalms, walked with a candle, like a sexton. But who knows that this is the second polyglot in the world: he spoke more than 40 languages. When he succeeded! In our country, they cannot learn one language at school, while doing nothing, neither at home, nor anywhere. And he, being a commander, leading the battles, participated in all the services. We say: there is no time to go to church. And Alexander Vasilievich walked. Plus, I knew more than 40 languages.

Such interesting examples show how spiritual life is combined with talent. And the more a person is spiritually enlightened, the more his talent is revealed in him.

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin wrote:
"But only the Divine verb
Touches the sensitive ear
The soul of the poet will tremble,
Like an awakened eagle."

He understood that this was an act of grace: "The divine verb will touch the sensitive ear."

One of the Athos abbots, Father Vasily, who was once the abbot of the Athos monastery Philotheus, deeply respected Dostoevsky, calling him a world prophet, through whom the Lord addresses the world that has forgotten about the Bible. And indeed - without shrines, without spiritual values, a person turns either into a beast or into a beast. This and other sayings of Dostoevsky just show that a person lived a spiritual life.

In essence, true creativity is always associated with true faith. And if a person moves away from true faith, then he moves away from true creativity.

Yes, the Providence of God allows in this world until some time, before the Second Coming, the existence of evil - so that people can see where humanity is going if it chooses the path of sin, when evil and passions, like tares, increase.

It was about this that Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol spoke in his work "Dead Souls". There are his wonderful lines: “Do not be embarrassed by any events, whatever happen around you. Do your own work, praying in silence. Society will recover only when every private person takes care of himself and lives like a Christian, serving God with the tools that are given to him, and trying to have a good influence on a small circle of people around him. Everything will then come into order, right relations between people will then be established by themselves, the limits legal to everything will be determined, and humanity will move forward. Be not dead, but living souls. There is no other door than that indicated by Jesus Christ, everyone, climbing differently, is a thief and a robber.

“I am the door: if anyone enters through me, he will be saved. And he will go in and go out and find pasture” (John 10:9).

This is the essence of the name "Dead Souls". True creativity is such only when it turns to Christ. Even if it was not a permanent state of the author himself.

The thing is that any person, great or not great, is constantly between two worlds. Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" is just an analysis of how a crime occurs, how sin takes possession of a person and what it leads to. But when it comes to spiritual questions, then the creativity of the people of the world begins to humble itself. The same Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, having beautifully depicted passions in Dead Souls, could not write light and high. Just like Dostoevsky, having portrayed the sinful state of man, he could not rise above the creations of the holy fathers. They, like our today's Russian saints, with their lives and their creations have given an example that can be imitated. As the apostle Paul said, “Be like me, even as I am like Christ” (1 Cor. 4:16).

For all those who have talent, the spiritual life is a guiding star, like the one of Bethlehem. Because a person, engaged in any field, eventually comes into contact with what was created by God and what exists in this world in the ways of God's Providence. And to use one's gifts or to try to understand what is happening without the Creator is madness. Why did the prophet David say about extreme madness: “The word is foolish in his heart: there is no God” (Ps. 13:1). The rejection of spiritual life leads to the fact that a person naturally begins to lose his creative talents.

How many people know that the French physicist, mathematician, mechanic, writer Blaise Pascal ended his life as a monk? The founder, one might say, the ideological leader of the "Mighty Handful" of our composers, Mily Balakirev, eventually became a psalmist. He edited the works of all members of the "Mighty Handful", the same Mussorgsky, directed, prompted. They say that if he had become a pianist, he would have surpassed Chopin. And if he became a conductor, it would be the second Toscanini. His musical memory was phenomenal. When a new work was played to him, he immediately repeated it, indicated the places that, as it seemed to him, needed to be corrected, played the entire work again, still giving his comments along the way. Almost no one talks about him. And without him there would be no such works as "Boris Godunov" and others.


Everyone knows the name Einstein. It is good that his statement was published: “There is only one place in the world where there is no darkness, only light. This is the person of Jesus Christ. In it, God was revealed to us in the most comprehensible form for a person, as far as a person can comprehend Him at all. When Einstein was asked how he discovered the formula E \u003d mc2 (energy is equal to the mass of a body times the square of the speed of light in a vacuum. - Ed.), He replied: “I noticed that God created energy and mass, but He couldn’t just so leave them. There was something between them. And I found that it was light."

Alexander Fleming, who discovered penicillin, said: “Everyone claims that I made some kind of discovery. But I only saw what was created by God, and the honor belongs not to me, but to God. Here are examples of spiritual life and creativity.

Max Born, the founder of quantum mechanics, testifies that many scientists were believers. And those who say that doing science makes a person an atheist, according to him, these are some funny people.

Martha and Mary, the Lazarev sisters, are like two parts of one full life. Both worked. And just Martha is science, and Mary is spiritual life.

Once, as a child, I did not understand such fairy tales: get some scarlet flower or some kind of treasure. “Go there, I don’t know where, bring that, I don’t know what.” I thought what a stupid thing. I'm sorry, but I think it's science. She doesn't know what she finds. Here the Curies stumbled upon radiation: they put the mineral on the plates, they lit up. So something is being emitted. Turned out it was radiation. And now the genie is out of the bottle, and many deal with it directly (for example, with exposure).

All these examples show that spiritual life and spiritual understanding also help science. And where science, or any creativity in general, breaks away from God, it is caught by another - one that does not have creative power, the holy fathers call it the monkey of God. He, looking at how the Creator has done it, rearranges what is happening here in his own way. Why art can be of two directions. That which ennobles, elevates a person, awakens good feelings in him. As the poet says: "I awakened good feelings with lyre." But there are other feelings - anger, hatred or just passion. Works that evoke these feelings also exist. And in what direction the talent or talent will go - it depends on the person.

They say that the Apostle Paul, with his gifts, seemed to take the place of Judas. After all, Judas had great talents, almost performed more miracles than the other apostles, when he was sent to preach before his betrayal. And if he overcame the diabolical influence that he received, then it would be the second apostle Paul. But, unfortunately, as it is said in the wonderful liturgical texts of Passion Week, "Judas did not want to understand." He did not comprehend the love of God when the Lord washed the feet of the disciples and him too.
Thus, each person has a choice in the use of those gifts that he received from God, and he can use them either for good, or not for good, or not to use them at all, and he will also be punished for this. If talent is used only to achieve earthly goals, then the result is appropriate. Therefore, as the apostle tells us: “If you eat, if you drink, if you do anything else, do everything to the glory of God” (1 Cor. 10:31). This will be the spiritual life, combined with the gift. The Monk Seraphim of Sarov said: "All deeds done for the sake of the Lord give the Grace of the Holy Spirit." And this is the most important thing. The grace of the Holy Spirit gives life to everything. Whatever a person does, the most important thing is with what feeling he does it, with what state of mind. St. Nicholas of Serbia speaks beautifully about this through the mouth of an angel to Prince Lazar on the Kosovo field: “All earthly deeds that are done here, there, in heaven, are valued at will.” The most important thing is the spiritual side. And everything else - first there is, then it passes, departs and is forgotten. Deeds done in their time, conquests that seem great, slip away. What has been conquered passes into other hands, everything changes, and nothing remains of it. Everything earthly, which is done for its own exaltation, disappears, and only ruins, covered with sand, remain. The king, walking around his palace in ancient Babylon, is proud: "He was created by my power, my glory." And a voice from above says to him: “King, God gave you all this, but you forgot about it, and therefore both the kingdom and the mind will be taken away from you.” And for seven years he walked like a beast on all fours, and ate grass, until the Lord restored his mind.

As in their time, the builders of the Tower of Babel tried to perpetuate their memory on earth. And neither the tower nor Babylon was almost nothing left - the ruins. At that time, the tower seemed majestic, grandiose. And the pyramids? Well, yes, they come, look at them, that's all. It's not amazing anymore.

Even in our memory - the first flights into space. Well, space is a relative concept. As a student, I depicted how far people have penetrated into space. I drew the globe on a scale, and then added it on the same scale as they took off. But the pencil was not very finely honed, and the two lines practically merged. If 300 km is compared with the radius of the earth - 6 thousand km - it turns out that this is not so much at all. Now, if someone is launched into space, no one pays attention to who was launched, what was launched. And this earthly thing goes like this.

But the spiritual life is always vital. All great people - scientists, poets, artists, writers, musicians - including us, all without exception will die. When old age approaches, Beethoven goes deaf, artists go blind, designers forget their names, how to speak. In an instant, all this can happen to any person: some vessel bursts, and that's it. And then only the spiritual life remains.

There is an interesting parable on this topic. Two souls come out, rise to the gates of heaven. One soul of a rural father, Ivan's father. And the other is a famous writer. And so they met, they got to know each other. The soul of the writer asks:

- And who will you be?
- Father Ivan.
- Never heard.
- And you?
- And I'm such a writer.
- Oh, famous person.
They go further. They come to the gates of heaven, they knock. Heaven's gates open:
- Father Ivan, how long have you been waiting for!
“And I,” says another, “is such and such a writer.
- Never heard of.

And the gates of heaven are closed in front of the famous writer. This is such a simple story.

Or how people here are addicted to something and believe that this is real life, and there - what will happen, who else knows. But earthly life is coming to an end, crafty spirits are approaching a person and persuading:

- In paradise - they pray, fast, every day there is a service, like in a church, it's such a bore! And look how we drink, it's fun!
- Oh, this is life!
- Sign.

Signs. Only he goes there, and his - hap, and into the boiler. Him: “Oh, oh! And what is there?” “And we have a propaganda center there.”

Just earthly life is often this "agitation point" that distracts us from the spiritual. And truly everyone will eventually come to the Judgment of God, where "everyone will either be glorified or ashamed of their deeds."

There was such, the Kingdom of Heaven, Vladimir Nikolayevich Shchelkachev, a very well-known specialist in the oil industry, doctor of science, professor, who raised many generations of oilmen. He was a man of deep faith, he always participated in all services, everything was as it should be. And he had time for all this.

An example from another area is known: a humble person worked as a doorman in a restaurant or hotel. And there was a creator of mental prayer, he prayed unceasingly.
Elder Tikhon Pelikh, who is buried in Akulovo, had a spiritual son, monk Seraphim. He was the head of the department, professor, doctor of science, colonel.
The great surgeon Luka (Voino-Yasenetsky), you know, became a saint, now he has already been canonized. That is, in any position, with any gifts, a person, with the help of God, can lead a spiritual life and achieve holiness.

Well, we're better off. We need to try not to sin and live peacefully. And this will probably be enough. And what are the gifts? If a family is given, it means that such a gift is given to you - to raise children. Konstantin Ushinsky, by the way, was a deeply religious person. He spoke very sharply: if they leave faith, divine services, stop living the way our ancestors lived - the Orthodox life - then our villages will be filled with taverns and messes. I'm afraid these are prophetic words.

“A person who does not believe in a future life is dead to this one” (Goethe). So simple and short. And the future life presupposes, of course, the spiritual life here on earth.
As Father Joseph said in the Vatopedi Monastery, the most important thing is the goal. This is what we are doing, but why? Like graphomaniacs: there is rhyme, but there is no meaning. Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin once wrote: "Like a verse without thought in a fashionable song, the winter road is smooth."

I think that every work should have some meaning. For example, the talent of the artist lies in the fact that he feels the shades of color. Aivazovsky, a marine painter, was able to convey the elusive shades of water, his sea is real. Or another artist painted a bouquet - flowers, like natural ones. That is, he caught: you look at the landscape and think: wow, I wish I were there now, such beauty!

But the beauty of God, you understand? And any art is like a glorification of the beauty of God. You look - and you see it the way the artist saw it. Others won't see it. Sometimes, you know, there are such beautiful landscapes: a winter night, a Christmas forest, a flood of a river or a sunset. And it is very difficult to depict a sunset, because the colors change almost instantly.
Once in the spring, when the greenery is just appearing, we were near Pereslavl-Zalessky. I sat and watched: at first the forest was gray, then the leaves began to bloom, and it changed color to soft green, then the wind blew, raised the pollen, and it went like a cloud. You know, such a beauty!

A work of art should above all glorify God. Then it will be appreciated. I'm not talking about the icons created by our famous icon painters. Still, beauty changes a person, if he is not insensitive, of course.

I was acquainted with one musician, a high class guitarist. And when we talked with him on this topic, he said: “I worked out the technique for 12 hours, but the melody didn’t go. I feel - it does not sound, everything is not right. And then I caught myself on the fact that I assert myself. Then I just started playing, listening to music. And then everything went." This is the essence - and in music, and in art, and in singing. When a person simply sings - remember, as with Turgenev: from the heart, poured, but how it sounds - does not think - then everything works out. There is a concept - the natural setting of the voice. When everything goes from the heart and to the glory of God, then this is exactly what is needed. And whether someone appreciates or does not appreciate - it is not so important.

Once upon a time, beautiful pieces of music were created. Unfortunately, they are now forgotten. How many of our contemporaries know songs, romances, classical music? But for some, they still lie.

In the spiritual life, the proportion is slightly different. When the Apostle Paul began to speak in the Athenian Areopagus, one person remained, all the rest dispersed, but he continued his speech for one, and that was enough. That is, maybe someone will see or hear this beauty, and the desire for beauty will awaken in him.

And then - here the person creates. And if he didn't create, what would he do? You know, some drink - both artists and musicians. It would be better if they still played or wrote. So it's still useful.

And how many masterpieces, beautiful icons were destroyed, burned. Is this what they were made for? This is exactly what makes sin in our world.

Temples are truly ascending to heaven. There is an opinion that if the temple was blown up, it goes straight to heaven. Here the material side collapsed, but the spiritual one rose. After all, it is known that there is such a thing - phantom pain. Hands, legs are gone, and the pain arises, as if they were in place. The soul preserves the shape of the body: you cannot cut off the leg of the soul, it is spiritual. But this is already an area beyond our understanding. As Father Vasily Serebrennikov, rector of the Jerusalem Metochion, said very interestingly: “I like spiritual examples most of all, when you don’t understand anything.” He was already 90 years old, a candidate of medical sciences, a very spiritual person ...

What to do if, say, your talent does not generate income, but you still need to live. So, you need to do what makes it possible to live. Martha still worked. The disciples of the Savior were preparing for the sermon. But the apostle and evangelist John the Theologian fell into such circumstances that in order to live on the island where he was exiled, he had to heat the stove in the bathhouse of a rich woman. This is the apostle-evangelist, John the Theologian, not even an artist, but higher. How did he: bury his talent, not bury it? It's very difficult for me to figure this out. At least later the Lord, of course, gave him the opportunity to show his talents.

John of Damascus cleaned the latrines in the monastery. But before that he was the vizier of the Baghdad caliph. And also a poet.

I think, if God wills, He will give the talent to manifest. And now, perhaps, this talent will not bring any benefit to anyone. Take care of others. Apostles, remember when the Savior was crucified, where did they go? To catch fish.

... I love fishing, there is something in it too. But it rarely succeeds. Because something else is needed. We are fishers of men.

Creativity is not thought. It has nothing to do with the left or right hemispheres of the brain. None at all. The left hemisphere is mental, it is connected with mental activity, on the one hand. But then they start talking about the right hemisphere, where creativity is contained. But there is no creativity in your mind. Not a drop. These are the parts of the brain that can be stimulated by creativity and can express it, but creativity is not in your mind. There is no creativity in thought. There is nothing creative in the mind as such. It is not a source of creativity. Certain parts of the mind are stimulated by creativity, and you use them to express yourself—dance, music, drawing, writing. But it's just an expression.

The real creativity is your Spirit.

It is almost impossible to measure or appreciate it, but you can feel it. Feel into the word "creation" - to create, to give birth. Your consciousness creates life, brings something to life.

You won't be able to work on it. You won't be able to put in the effort. There are no mental exercises. But you can afford it. Don't try to understand him. Don't try to think about how you will start using it. Just return to the Spirit expressing itself in life.

You just take a deep breath and, in this mind game, allow.

If you were asked about your mood and energy level, about your balance, you would try to answer from your mind, from a mental assessment. Now take the answer from your Spirit - how do you feel? Based on your Spirit, your innate ability to create, to bring life into life itself, how do you feel? Going beyond the mood, which is very mental, just feeling life, your life?

Going beyond the question “What is your energy level?". And you come back with a mental assessment. But in the Spirit there are no restrictions for energy. It is a flow and allowing that flow to flow through you. Do you want the flow to be smooth and soft so that you can really feel it? Do you want the flow to be fast and dynamic? He doesn't have a level. There is only an expression. There are no limits for energy.

Question about your balance. What is your balance? Today it deviates to the left, tomorrow to the right, the day after tomorrow it goes up, the next day it goes down. Creativity does not need balance. The mind needs it, but the creative principle does not. Spirit does not need balance. The Spirit is you. This is the nature of consciousness. Consciousness is awareness. Anything can be created from awareness. Anything can be imagined. You can understand anything. Not mentally, not through linear thoughts.

Nice expression: "Consciousness creates when it smiles". Just. Consciousness only smiles and new worlds are created. New realities are emerging. New experiences become available. Consciousness smiles when it feels " I exist. I am". It smiles when it has this awareness, and then the spirit of consciousness creates.

Mind has little to do with creation, creativity, or Spirit. He will allow it to come and be part of his reality, but he will not be the source. The source is you. In fact, the mind in its attempt will sort of copy creativity, try to fake creativity - in fact, it will create problems in your life in order to try to solve them, to pretend to be creative.

But this is not creativity, this is just an unpleasant loop, a bad habit. Do you have to keep creating problems to think you are solving them? No.

Feel your true creative nature. The ability to create, imagine and bring something to life without thinking, without the need for mental focus, hypnosis, mind control. Spirit. Realization. Some of you might say: But I've never been much of a creative person.". Let's change this game of consciousness.

You are absolute creativity. Some of you might be thinking right now: What should I do with it now? How to grab it? How can I take this with me? How can I be sure that I won't lose it?". My friends, this is always a part of you. Always. You can't really lose it. But you can definitely afford it.

And the mind jumps up and starts asking questions: Is it big? Is there a lot of it? And what can I do with it? Can I create a magical castle with unicorns and such?» Take a deep breath… You don't have to control it. You don't have to, and you really can't make it manifest. You just need to be aware. As soon as you realize this, as soon as you feel this Spirit, creation, yourself, it suddenly comes back to life. You don't have to tell him how, when, how much or how little. No, because true creativity is free. The spirit is free.

True Spirit does not need you to dictate details to him - how fast, what size, what color. This is the beauty of your creativity. It is difficult for the mind to imagine, because the mind wants to evaluate, control, measure. But no, the Spirit is beautiful because it is beyond such things. It does not need to be directed to any action. This is the beauty of creativity. You don't direct it. You are not manipulating them. This is the beauty of the Spirit. It's just life, the birth of life.

One of the greatest pleasures of being a mindful creator is that you don't have to control it. Creativity responds naturally to you. In fact, it cannot be controlled.

Think of creativity as the next level of reality, reflection, duality - you see yourself. For a long time we had what is called duality. Duality allowed yourself feel myself on experience.

But now we are moving beyond duality and entering into true creativity - this is the mirror in which you see yourself. In other words, creativity, Spirit - when it is not controlled, when it is not controlled and manipulated - responds directly to you. He belongs to you.

When your consciousness smiles with the knowledge "I Exist", then creativity creates a perfect reflection in the material world, in all other realities. When your consciousness smiles, in other words, when you allow your awareness to be, then creativity creates the ideal reality for you. No control needed. No need to develop, design, build and maintain. It's just happening. This is what freedom is.

With your creativity, mood, energy levels and balance actually become insignificant, lose their meaning. Long before you had a physical body, long before you burdened yourself with a human existence on this planet, your consciousness smiled - and everything just appeared. Everything came alive. No plan, no goal. Everything just came true. Long before you came to this planet, long before there were spiritual families, angelic families, it was just you and your creativity.

So, you can go beyond just using your creativity to solve a few problems. Allow the Spirit to manifest, become a part of your life - not only to solve some human household, financial, physical or emotional issues, it is such a waste for true creativity in your life.

And you ask: Should I start dancing or painting?» No, these are only its manifestations. You can do this, but just let creativity come into your life, don't control it.

Creativity will replace duality in your life as a way to really see yourself as a new mirror.
