She is the eternal source of knowledge on how to create. The muse has been put in chains, made to serve the principles of Apollo, god of intellectual, rational thought. Art forms that come out of this tradition support authoritarian governments and deny individual freedom. True muse-inspired art can never do this, for it is born of the magic invocation that springs from deep within the soul. Today's society divides itself into the artsy people and the non-artsy people.
People tend to take the word creative to mean inspired, or gifted.
Creativity doesn't come from having a stage, a crowd of fans or a famous name. It doesn't come from being paid tons of money, or having a billion albums sold. It comes from the single act of creating, from doing and trying, instead of just watching. Most people who claim to not be creative had some point in their life where their creations were criticized. A young child's painting might have been mocked by a classmate.
