If you can't imagine, you can't create.

 Creative thinking emerges even before it is expressed in language, and it manifests itself through emotions and intuitions, images and bodily sensations before the laws of logic or linguistics work. , pictures, music, dance, etc.


The products of this transformation are diverse, but the process is universal. Learning creative thinking in one field is like opening the door to creative thinking in another field.

"Only intuition can lead to insight through sympathy. The results of research do not come from careful intentions or plans, but from the heart."


- Einstein


​


There exists 'pre-logical thinking' that cannot be expressed in words in existing ideas.


Creative thinking appears before being expressed in language, and before logic or linguistic laws work, it reveals its existence through emotions and intuitions, images and bodily sensations. The author describes it as 'super logic'.


​


Creation may require a lucky discovery first, but making this discovery a reality is creation. Creation cannot be considered in isolation from execution. Therefore, what is important is creative imagination, not vague imagination.


It can be said that a complete creation or creative imagination has occurred only when it leads to logical expression following super logic.


​


Artists, scientists, writers, etc. must translate their imagination or discovery into a means of expression that can be communicated to others other than myself. Only when an inner feeling can be translated into an external language acceptable to others can creation take place.

“Art is the expression of the human spirit, and it is the visualization of vague images that already exist in the mind in concrete form.” - Max Bill


If you can't imagine, you can't create.


If you can't imagine what doesn't exist, you can't create something new, and if you can't create your own world, you have no choice but to stay in the world described by others. If you do, you will see reality through the eyes of others, not your own.


Illusions must be constantly trained by reality, and theories must always be tested by experimentation and observation.

Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom.

 Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom. ​ Get your hands off the hanging cliff. Enlightened people say I had to get my hands off the hanging cliff. I can't believe it's a story from Buddhism, which emphasizes mercy and love. Doubts can be easily dispelled. A 'hanging cliff' is actually just an object of obsession, believing that it will die if it is released even though there is no problem. The 'hanging cliff' is different for each person. It could be youth, health, family, money, home, or children. Or it could be love, it could be friendship, it could be the approval of others.   It is clear that the person who cannot lift his hand from the cliff is not free, he is not the master of his own life. Whatever it is, if it is impossible to live without it, and if it is likely that he will die, he is already a slave to the cliff on which he hangs. If you let go, you will die, but why should you let go? For the freedom to pursue new possibilities in life....

If you look into even a single grain of sand with love, you can dis...

君子上達 小人下達

Learning flows from the bottom up to the high. ​ A gentleman faces upwards and a small man faces downwards. (君子上達 小人下達) .. - Analects ​ It means that a gentleman goes through high-level studies and disciplines to rectify himself and create a better world, but a small man concentrates on fulfilling his own interests and greed. In addition, <Heonmun> contains words that tell how to do it. That's 'Hahak Sangdal'. It means that no matter how high ideals and dignified life are pursued, daily learning must be a prerequisite. ​ ​ Education must first teach the near and small, and then the far and great. If you do not go through the process of solidifying the basics properly in order to achieve quick results and teach high-level things first, you will collapse at some point, like building a castle on sand. However, if you stop at something close and small, you will not be able to make progress in your studies. The beginning of learning is small and close, but the end of learn...
