Illusion of knowledge
Knowledge, in its essence, is the accumulation of facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education. It is the understanding of a subject or an area. However, knowledge is inherently limited. It is confined to what has been discovered, what has been experienced, and what has been taught. It is a tool that helps us navigate the world, but it is not the world itself.
Knowledge can bring about advancements in our physical world, it can lead to technological progress and scientific discoveries. However, it is important to understand that these are not creations in the truest sense. They are extensions, expansions, or modifications of what already exists. They are born out of the intellect, which, while powerful, is limited in its scope.
Our consciousness, which is what we are, is made up of our reactions, beliefs, prejudices, fears, and insecurities. This consciousness is shared with all human beings. We all experience pain, pleasure, fear, and a multitude of other emotions. We all have beliefs, opinions, and prejudices. In this sense, we are not individuals. We are part of a collective consciousness, a shared human experience.
This realization can be unsettling. It challenges our sense of individuality, our belief that we are separate from the rest of mankind. However, it is only by acknowledging this shared consciousness that we can begin to understand the true nature of creativity.
Creativity is not the product of thought or knowledge. It is not an extension or modification of what already exists. True creativity is the birth of something entirely new, something that has never existed before. It is the manifestation of the unknown, the unexplored, the undiscovered.
Creativity is not limited to the arts or sciences. It is present in every aspect of life. It is in the way we perceive the world, the way we interact with others, the way we respond to challenges. It is in our ability to transcend our limitations, to break free from our conditioned responses, to see beyond the known.
We are human beings first, not just professionals or individuals defined by our roles in society. As human beings, we have the capacity for true creativity. However, to tap into this creativity, we must learn the art of living.
The art of living is not about accumulating knowledge or achieving success. It is about understanding ourselves, our shared consciousness, and our place in the world. It is about transcending our limitations, breaking free from our conditioned responses, and embracing the unknown. It is about living in the present, fully aware and fully engaged.
In conclusion, knowledge, while valuable, can never be creative in the truest sense. True creativity lies beyond knowledge, in the realm of the unknown. It is a manifestation of our shared consciousness, our human experience. It is the essence of the art of living.

The understanding of our shared consciousness and the art of living in the present moment are key to unlocking our inherent creativity. Thank you for sharing these enlightening perspectives.

The natural or physical realm is temporal. Whereas the supernatural or spiritual realm is eternal. Additionally, the supernatural or spiritual realm is greater than the natural or physical realm.
Sure, we need to have knowledge of natural things or things of man while living on earth. However, to gain knowledge, understanding, and wisdom concerning spiritual things transcends the natural or physical realm and extends beyond our life on earth.
However, one must be careful and discerning concerning spirits and the spiritual realm (ref. 1 John 4:1, 2 Corinthians 2:13-15. e.g.). There is the Kingdom of God which is Light, and there is the kingdom of Satan which is darkness. Even the “light” of Lucifer (Satan) is utter and complete darkness (i.e., pure evil).
If you belong to Jesus Christ then you belong to the Kingdom of Light and are blessed with the gift of eternal life through Him (ref. John 3:15-16, e.g.). If you’re a Christian be very careful not to have anything to do with the darkness (e.g., occult). For those of the light are to have nothing to do with the darkness, except to engage in spiritual warfare against it (ref. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, e.g.). However, if you don’t belong to Jesus Christ then you are of the kingdom of darkness and are destined to destruction and the wrath of God (ref. Revelation 21:8, e.g.).
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline” (Proverbs 1:7), and “We are not looking at the things being seen, but the things not being seen. For the things being seen are temporary, but the things not being seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18).

More importantly however is to know and accept what and who God created us to be. We’re to understand that God created us as unique individuals and we need to know His purpose for our lives, and to know Him (Jesus) and have a personal relationship with Him.

The knowledge and wisdom of man (humans) pales in comparison to the knowledge and wisdom of God. For the knowledge and wisdom of God far surpasses the knowledge and wisdom of mankind. So, seek His wisdom, and seek the things above.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways.” This is the Lord’s declaration. “For as heaven is higher than earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”—Isaiah 55:8-9, CSB
