Thoughts on Creativity and New Neural Pathways

Thoughts on Creativity and New Neural Pathways

   A paper published by researchers from both Kings College London and the University of Barcelona (La Universidad de Barcelona) in July this year entitled: 'A Pathway in the Brain that allows humans to learn new words' http://www.kurzweilai.net/a-pathway-in-the-brain-that-allows-humans-to-learn-new-words found that a collection of nerve fibres connecting the sounds of words to the parts of the brain responsible for articulating them . The sound of words and the ability to create new neural pathways and decoding and understanding of language was clearly demonstrated in this research.

Creativity has been thought to be either a right hemisphere of the brain activity or a balance between the two sides of the brain. Maybe this is to do with the definitions of how we use the concept of creativity which at times are very different indeed. The first way is that flash of inspiration, bringing with it that 'ah ha moment' and pleasure from the neuro-transmitters of serotonin and dopamine and the other the challenging process of using the full brain to focus the attention, belief and action on creating an idea in material form. It seems however that whilst the 'ah ah moment' can be useful it is the continuous focus of the other that brings about the real change in one's reality that we call creativity. Work in 2009 at the University of Tsukuba in Japan on neural networks involved in artistic creativity, confirmed that training (focus of attention, belief, action...my emphasis) brings balance to the hemispheres and increases creativity via reorganized hemisphere communication.

Loosely then we have two recent studies that demonstrate the prominence of one or more senses (sound in the first study, external) and (visualization, kin-aesthetics, internal,focus, attention, belief) in the second, as the primary experience that biologically alters the brain to bring about creativity and change. Sound and Creation We are told in many of our religious texts that sound is at the beginning of creation. The Hindus recite the sound OHM as the sound that started the Universe, the Muslims recognize that the Universe started with the word of Allah, the Old Testament and the Torah tell us 'In the beginning God said let there be light' and the New Testament of the Christians tell us 'In the beginning there was the Word'. 
Mantra and Sacred Singing
Sacred Sound   

 Hindus, Buddhists, Catholic Monks among others utilize sacred sound with the express intention of changing their experience of reality or indeed reality itself. Many of us practice affirmation (or incantation as Tony Robbins calls his version which includes full emotional body experience as well as sound) to bring about change intentionally. These practices are as old as the hills
 Visualization, focus, belief and action 

Much of the journey of the new forms of internet marketing require visualization and identification of goals and hypnosis and time line therapy work with internal visualization to start the process of change. As with other blogs referring to the Law of Attraction the message here is if you wish to change your reality you can literally change your mind and brain with focused  visualization and following up with energy and concentration towards your desired aims.

To conclude, it seems that science, spirituality and the laws of success are all beginning to say the same things. Sound, visualization, focus, attention, belief and constant energy towards the goal changes the neural pathways and the experience of reality.
