On this week’s episode of Creative Space, we’re diving into Chapter 5 of Julia Cameron’s seminal book on creativity, “The Artist’s Way.” The focus for this week is “Recovering a Sense of Possibility,” and it continues to expand on the theme of letting go of preconceived limitations and finding flow.
There is so much to cover but there are three core principles we’ll talk about: limits, finding the river, and the virtue trap.
My favorite passage from this chapter: “Dependence on the creator within is really freedom from all other dependencies. Paradoxically, it is also the only route to real intimacy with other human beings. Freed from our terrible fears of abandonment, we are able to live with more spontaneity. Freed from our constant demands for more and more reassurance, our fellows are able to love us back without feeling so burdened.”
