The experience of being creative can help instil in us the gaze of admiration, an appreciative consciousness, a divine satisfaction. Obviously too there is a real danger in this. Feeling like God is also the greatest narcotic there is, as many artists and performers and athletes, tragically, have learned. In the experience of creativity, it is all too easy to identify with the energy, to feel that we are God or that art and creativity are themselves divine and an end in themselves. The greater the achievement, the harder it is to disconnect properly, to not identify oneself or it with God.
Creativity comes fraught with a fierce danger.
However we need to understand creativity correctly. We tend to be intimidated by the word and to see ourselves as not having what it takes to be creative. Because we tend to identify creativity only with outstanding achievement and public recognition. Only those who have had their songs recorded, their poems published, their dances performed on Broadway, their achievements publicly noted, and their talents talked about on the TV talk shows. Creativity is not in the end about public recognition or outstanding achievement.
