Bob Restores Creativity

by Silvia Hartmann

Bob Restores Creativity When you ask many normal people if they are creative, they answer, "No, I can't draw." Bob has arrived to clear up the confusion.
From Line Being to being Bob
From Line Being to Being Bob

If a line can be drawn, a Line Being can be created. Might take a couple of attempts, but it's doable. 
And once a Line Being exists, we can create the persona. 

A persona is not a "character." A persona is much more than that. You put a face on your line being, couple of eyes and a mouth is all that is required. Give it some hair and some very basic clothes. 

Of course, you can go further than that and add other decorations that define your persona. 

And we're done. You have created a real persona which can now go on to adventures new and will already carry adventures past. 

In our example, we've got Bob. Bob joined the GoE at some point and proudly wears a premium gold E T-shirt.

Your persona, if you did this exercise in a group of a thousand other people, would be completely unique. It would be yours, and you would have created it. 
Because the process of creation is happening in your head, and has nothing to do with whether you can render it down into physical reality in some way. 

Bob demonstrates the process of how it happens that we the people can go from a completely blank sheet of paper to a persona that didn't exist before you came to create it. 

Creativity is a part of people genius, of Siderean genius.

You "got" it. 

If you want to invest years into the physical skill of rendering or not is a completely different story altogether. I personally say, "If you want to spend 60 years trying to draw the perfect circle, go ahead. You do you. Me? I draw a wonky circle and move on to the spiral."

And here we have the difference between a nice theory and something we can prove in the really real world to be true. 

You can use the instructions provided here and go from a Line Being to your own persona, run your own scientific experiment and find out for yourself. 

And once you got your persona, you have proven that you are creative to yourself (didn't have to prove it to me, I already knew that). 

If you wanted to, you could get to know your persona better by asking some questions about them, but that is optional. If you know how to use Sanctuary, well ...

Personae With Purpose

I needed a simple cartoon character for a presentation on the "Unchangeing You." So the reason Bob came into being was that. In other words, and in Modern Energy Art MEA terms, I made a Set Up so my creativity had a target. 

I drew my Line Being in a drawing program and asked for a persona that could represent the idea of the Unchangeing You. Bob arrived. I made the slides for the presentation and it worked out great.

By using a Set Up, you can make a persona with a purpose, if you want to.

You can make a Set Up of making one to entertain your kids, to make a new invisible friend, to make you laugh or smile, to remind you that AIs can't do what you're doing with your unique creativity, or just to learn more about it works when we the people create little people with our own genius minds. 

It's a wonderful thing and once the completely erroneous belief (aka delusion) that "you are not creative" has been cleared out, who knows what might happen next???

Why, you might end up getting all sorts of new ideas how to solve problems, unstick yourself and find all manner of new ways to amuse yourself - in whole new ways. Cool

Teacher at school used to tell parents, "Don't let your kids play with Silvia. She'll give them ideas ..." Isn't it curious how some things just never change. Sixty years later, and I'm still doing it. Weird. Like there's some kind of ... unchangeing you ... Cool
