Title: Meaning & Creativity
Author: Ron Puhek
[$5, postpaid. A huge discount off of retail to get you to see what it’s all about!] “Meaning and Creativity” explores the illusions of meaning that dominate life today and how to break out of their chains—a vital first step in the process of living in an integrated way. Life is not worth living if it is not meaningful. Most of the strategies for living today are, however, merely methods of enabling us to endure frightful meaninglessness. They are all mechanical and operate by encouraging us to flee from one meaningless activity as soon as we catch the scent of its decaying character and race to another, equally meaningless. Life becomes a continuous merry-go-round. We move in circles, getting nowhere, but are lost in the illusion that we are moving along a straight path to greater good-even when we try to use methods that are thought to counteract this. So long have we lived like this that if we would wake up and see our true state, we would be shattered. Nihilism would be our fate. To avoid this catastrophe, we need to prepare ourselves with some understanding of how to live a life of meaning. The only meaningful life is a creative life. This is easy to see once we realize what “creativity” consists of. “Meaning and Creativity” stands alone and is also the first book of the Blue Trilogy. (118 pages, 5.5″x8.5″, paper)
