The Creative Method

Stories can help show us how we should live. That's why we need em. The scientific method tells us what life is. The creative method tells us how it could be. Think of something you know to be true. Pick a fact out of the world then think about how it could be different in one simple way.

Zebras have black and white stripes, for example. What if they were purple and yellow? That, my friend, is called being creative. Think about something. Change it. Now think about how it would be.

What would the world be like if aliens took over? What would it be like to be the first humans on Earth? What would it be like if a New York heiress fell in love with a bank robber from New Orleans?

What if? What would life be like if..? What would happen if...? The cool thing about the creative method is that after running the simulation, you can bring back what you found – the lessons, mistakes, new understandings – and integrate them into your life in the Real World.

Just as science helps us understand the basic rules and make up of our beautiful universe, creativity helps us understand the basic rules and make up of our beautiful souls.

Neither can replace the other. Each benefits and enhances the other. They are dualities, brothers, two sides of the same page. The more creative our scientists are, the better. The more scientific our creatives are, the better. Together, we'll figure it out.
