Ways to Creativity?

Is it just me or does it seem like the anchor has been pulled up. Some how the past two chapters (10,11) have felt like I have been set adrift on a wide but shallow ocean. I feel like we are no longer feasting on the subject. The discussion so far has been excellent, but now I feel like we are at edge, trying our best to remain interested in the ways to creativity.

Maybe it is just me, maybe it's because I don't like the statement "Ways to creativity" I don't believe that there is a way to creativity. That makes me feel like there is some guy sitting with legs folded, pointing to the horizon. To me it implies that you can make a wrong turn somewhere and some how not be creative. The truth is, creativity is the spark that drives us all,it is the core, it is simply achieved by existence.
The existence of a Bengal tiger is what makes the stripes so beautiful. Am I making any sense? or should I go read the chapters again?

You don't have to read again, but as you mentioned I think it is the word "Ways" that might be bugging you. I saw the chapter as showing that hypnosis, music, dance, spirituality can all be portals to creativity. Th Mandalas were/are religious icons but they are/were creative/created and can lead to more creativity/creation. (trying to use as many slashes in that sentence as I could/would)
