The creative spirit is really the persistence to remain in the Little Dopamine of it all, to be qualiadelic. Creativity is about inhabiting our inner consciousness long enough that the qualia we put there begins to coalesce into ideals. Ideals move us, but we must maintain our balance in the material world. Sometimes that balance means no more than enduring and surviving, but at other times it is about self-actualization; but it is always about enjoying the quality (not the quantity) of life.
