The Act of Creation

Couverture

'The act of creation' begins where this view ceases to be true. Koestler affirms that all creatures have the capacity for creative activity, frequently suppressed by the automatic routines of thought and behaviour that dominate their lives.

Then the mind is capable of receiving inspiration and insight.
