About Culture of Thinking, Conscious Creativity, and Sustainability.

Creativity is an evolutionary process because Life is Creativity.

Conscious Creativity is a human activity through the development of a Culture of Thinking.
The Culture of Thinking is an Evolutionary process of thinking reflected in all spheres of life because we can share what we have.

The Evolutionary process is a harmonious process to improve what is, and consolidate these changes based on the proportionality of unity and synthesis where:
– Unity is a system of interaction between process participants.
– Synthesis is the process of consciously combining different components into a whole.
– Proportionality is correspondence to advisability and balance.

As humans, we have the power to think. We also have the responsibility for the results of our thinking.

A Culture of Thinking is our “Garden” where we work every moment of our Life. Conscious Creativity supports this Garden and helps build a bridge between the heart (feelings) and the brain (thinking). Feeling-Thinking-Action-Result
Without the harmonious unity of these two “shores” we can forget what it means to be human, for having lost connection with the heart, we lose connection with the brain.

I often give an example of Sustainable Development in the form of a chair on which we sit 🙂
Three legs are essentially the three pillars of sustainable development, environment, economy, and society, which are based on the questions: “WHAT?, WHO?, HOW?”
But the “fourth leg of the chair” is the Culture of Thinking answering the question “WHY?” based on feelings. Feelings-Thinking-Action-Result.

Conscious Creativity Technologies, and in the understanding of this content, is a harmonious structure of dynamic programs based on universal human values in unity with Nature, synthesizing the experiences with participants and employees.

A harmonious structure, in this case, means the unity of all programs with universal human values and nature based on proportionality and proportionality of types of activities in harmony with the specific conditions of the community.

Dynamic programs feature the flexibility to change them, and the underlying activities, depending on the current situation of time, participants, resources, and place.

Synthesizing the experiences of employees and participants is the ability to create a single space of Cooperation, based on “Together does not mean do as I do” and “I can only share what I can”.

Conscious Creativity technologies are based on the principles of Conscious Creativity and also the very questions that sustain the stability of a “chair”: “WHAT, WHO, HOW, and WHY?”

Another value of the Conscious Creativity technologies is helping to unite people of different cultures, social statuses, and ages. It also welcomes older generation people, many of whom continue to live separately from their children and grandchildren.

The multicultural, multi-age, and multi-generational forms of activities, based on Conscious Creativity technologies, are important for children because they develop familiarity and cooperation skills within a diverse community. And older generation people do not see themselves as isolated from society but as participants.

In essence, these forms of activities continue the theory of the “Third Place*”, after the first two “Home” and “Work”. Unlike cafes and other public places as “Third Place” locations, this creative center system is centered on children where they can communicate, as equal participants, with each other, teachers, parents, grandparents, and adults as they develop individually and as part of our society.

Conscious Creativity technologies help to create different forms of creative activities that can be located in libraries, museums, churches, children’s daycare, community, and ecology centers, helping people not to be close, but be together.
