So, he who's creativity
is unfolded has power over what is yet unheard, then over what is heard, and
he has power over the unseen because he makes it visible, and power over all
that could be touched and could be felt: and the art of cooking is open to
him, as is the fulfilment of the gourmet; and he is free to choose whether
to smell at a tank truck or to inhale the fragrance of roses.
Not so the dreamer whose self is overrun by the events in his world of thoughts.
This distinguishes the minds of those who are truly creative from those of somnambulant dreamers in the arts.
As surely as a normal thinking person prefers the fragrance of the jasmine flower to the smell of terpentine, the creative, cultivated man will prefer the beautiful to the ugly. And from this we can conclude:
Whenever someone creates something truly beautiful it is rather certain that, in the waking state, he consciously rules his inner dimension of creativity and is therefore also a powerful organizer of his own great life an example for others.
Whenever someone creates something ugly, then, whathever the pretext may be, he creates from the lack of control of a dreamer; because, as in the case of a dreamer, his self unpractised in creativity cannot determine what it dreams and often enough has to put up with the ugly when it spreads in his mind.
The inner world
of the dreamer is not freely organized by his self which explains the
chaos of the dreaming state of consciousness.
And if one projects one's "day-dreaming" confusion into the surroundings,
after some time of activity, the outer disorder of one's environment will
match the inner chaos of one's dreams.
Such an effect is indeed reactionary mechanistic; only fumbled out from memories without the mighty creative organizing hand of the intellect ruled by the self-awareness.
