America Meditating-Creativity
CREATIVITY: When acts of virtue emerge from deep within, from our inner sanctuary of silence, inspiration flows. Every action has its seed in a thought and every thought is a creation of the thinker, the soul. I choose what thoughts I want to create, and as is my thinking so are my actions and also my experience of life. Going within, I touch the stillness and pure love that lie at the core of my being and every thought that I create is of benefit to me, and of benefit to humanity. - Watch Creativity Virtue Video -
