001 What Is Creativity?

In our culture, creativity is simultaneously edified and debased through magical thinking. Yes, the creative process is mysterious because so few understand it. Yes, it can feel like magic when things are going well. But that does not mean it is magic! Or that we shouldn't touch it lest we kill the magic.Deciphering the mysteries of the creative process is my ongoing life's work. And there more I discover, the more magical the creative process feels.So what is creativity? What is the creative process?
