What is creativity
12/21/12
              anyway?

Where Creativity
            Comes From
   Our brain definitely has a creative
  side—the right side, in fact, while
  the left side is ruled by reason and
   logic. It requires that creative side
     of your brain to process myth,
           scripture and rituals.

           Creative for               creativity

During the moments of
   thinking , the brain
creates too much noise
for the soul to be heard
  or even to be active.
12/21/12   Creative Process |   TEDxAUC | Mostafa Abou Gamrah   6
One study of ads and
        design workers
             found:
           A negative correlative between creativity and
                         conscientious..

             A positive correlative with neuroticism,
                extroversion and open to experience.

Who in his mind would think that the world will
             need a messaging system like twitter :

           Limiting                         Open




12/21/12               Creative Process |    TEDxAUC | Mostafa Abou Gamrah           8
The root of creativity is not actually
in the brain, though, but in the soul.
   It is here from which you derive
             inspiration.

Size Matters


      Big brain                                                    Big soul
     Small brain                                                  Small soul

• It comes at      night.
           • It comes from   above or from the right side.

• It comes in the soul.
                                                           ready.
                                                When the soul is

                                       When the soul is connected.
                               It works well when the brain is calm.




                       Shhhhhhhhhhh…. hhhhhhhhh.

My personal process

A way to Nurture Your Creativity
      through Spirituality
12/21/12   Creative Process |   TEDxAUC | Mostafa Abou Gamrah   14
1) Isolate yourself from the surrounding (little light)


     You may want to keep some external effects like:

                                                               • Music
                                                                    • Materials
                                                               • People (Body or soul)
                                                                      • Smell
                                                                     • Green
                                                                      • Water




12/21/12                 Creative Process |   TEDxAUC | Mostafa Abou Gamrah              15
2) Deactivate your brain thinking transactions and move to the sea like
                  attention … like quantum physics.


               • Terminate all unnecessary thoughts.

                •   To reach peace of mind and clarity

                                              (lose your body and
                      become a soul if you can)




 12/21/12             Creative Process |   TEDxAUC | Mostafa Abou Gamrah   16
3) Breathing:

                - Should be deeper.
                - Should be bit faster.


4) Make very little body movement.




5) Half empty stomach.




12/21/12              Creative Process |   TEDxAUC | Mostafa Abou Gamrah   17
6) Try to hear what is inside you,



                                                            Slowly
                                                                            Slowly
                                              - Don’t think of what you hear, let it flows.
                                                  - Give it its freedom and peace.




7) The sparks will start the    illumination.

• Its OK to have a soul but people mostly won’t recognize it,
                       so you may need to project it on an ego.




             • Its OK to have an ego. But try to keep it                        secret .
• These ideas captured by the soul .. Must be shared with people and
                     passed to the human race..
