Every human being on this earth is same in power, brain and dignity. We all are equal. But, still, we see there are lots of differences in people. It’s even difficult to find two persons on earth with the same thinking, attitude, style to work.
Then “We all are equal” statement is valid?
Yes! It’s completely valid. We can consider each one of us as a diamond and we all are covered with dust. When we start learning, we start removing dust from our diamond. A person who has more knowledge, experiences, leanings and creative thinking(most important) approaches things in a way it should be and hence able to polish oneself’s diamond more than other who has less knowledge.
And Diamond is also get cut in different shapes and sizes. So, we people also have different interests, different level and kind of competencies. It is us, people around us, our habits who changes us and communicate to our subconscious mind and makes us what we are now.
Let’s try to set up an analogy for this:
Children of 2 to 5 age group are most creative. How? It seems bit confusing. But, it’s correct in most of the instances. Children in this age group have vast imagination. Non-directional thought(giving a direction to thoughts also kills imagination and creativity because we start thinking on the same grounds), the invention of new games, attracting people and many more acts they do are all creative. And 95% of the children in this age group are creative.
When a child grows, the child gets discouraged by parents, neighbours, teachers and other to teach him only correct things (uni-directional). They are taught to fill colours between the lines, to draw the similar shape. All these thoughts make a child realise that the things he/she was doing before were wrong and should not be done. Then this thought gets transferred to subconscious mind and creativity dies. At the age 7, creative children percentage count drops to 4%.
We have grown up now.
Aren’t we creative?
Can we become creative again?
So, all these valid questions will pop up in our mind. And the answer to this question is yes. I also try to study a lot on this and will share as much information as I can by different sources. To get answers to reviving creativity, we should know about the conscious, subconscious and superconscious mind.

Conscious mind:
Most of the things we do in our daily life is through this. It’s present only small portion of awareness.
Subconscious mind:
It keeps record of everything we do, our thoughts, our likes, dislikes, negatives etc. Nothing is forgotten by the subconscious mind. Yet most part of it is hidden from our daily awareness. It has a huge impact on things we do,we think in our conscious state.
Superconscious mind:
It has an awareness which can see the material reality and energy associated. It possesses a power which can connect us to anything and everything which we have never seen and talked about. It connects us to a pool of thoughts. It’s a place where true creativity borns.
The superconscious mind works for everyone: Difficult to believe? It would not be much difficult now.
- When you think about someone and suddenly door bell rings. You open the door and see the person you were thinking about.
- You call someone and that person says: I was also about to call you.
What do we do to these thoughts make ourselves? Most of us ignore it and forget about it.
Many of us have thought of an idea of setting up something. Then, we don’t pay attention to it and after 4-5 years, companies come with the same idea and makes millions out of it. And by the same idea, we didn’t do anything.
Superconscious mind possessed by everyone. How do we manage these creative thoughts makes us what we are and what one should be. Why are there few people who have invented most of the things? Let’s jump to science discoveries. A major breakthrough in physics was from Albert Einstein, Newton and few more. These names are very less in numbers because very few people trust their insight and value of thoughts. These were the people who value their thoughts and gave the world really important theories. So, trust on your insights and value your thoughts. At least start analysing it instead of putting them on the back burner and forget.

And the creativity does not only belong to:
- Scientists
- Artists
- Painters etc.
It’s with everyone. The value of that creativity and invention to the world might differ, But, it’s still a creativity.
The simplest form of creativity can do improvement in existing things. People moved from hand-pulled cart to Animal pulled carts.Shoe industry got improved now. You can get shoes which fit your daily activity and are more comfortable. These are all creative things happened to us.
Correction in Misconception
Most of the people think that our mind can just think around only those things which we have experienced. But it’s not actually true. I will try to give you an example of a small boy. Once a truck was running at a moderate speed and was tried to pass through an underpass bridge and got stuck. Police and other forces were called. They tried to get the truck out of the bridge by using cranes and other possible options but could not. Then, a boy came to one of the policemen and asked about it. Policeman explained it to the child. Children just told him “Why don’t you get air out of the truck’s tyres?”. Everyone was amazed. What a simple solution that was a child who had never experienced this situation before. In my upcoming blogs, I will write more about human mind and powers. I hope you like this.
