Creativity in Endeavours

Creativity is for Everyone

Creativity is about «bringing something of value into existence». Creativity makes a substantial difference to what is achieved in any endeavour: unpaid, entrepreneurial or within employment.

Even if being creative adds a degree of stress to work, there is much pleasure in activating and using personal creativity. In principle, everyone has it in them to be creative at work for one simple reason: it is part of the human condition.

Note: Creativity to support Work ≠ Work to support Creativity. More:

There are many people for whom a primary driving force in life is creation. Work is then done to release and gratify that powerful drive. This is not the situation being considered here: it will be explored in due course as one of humanity's Primal Quests. This primal drive is not rare, but nor is it universal.

Endeavour is One Thing

All our endeavours flow from the operation of the Will. Any project can be more fully understood by recognizing its origins in the framework of personal endeavour-RH as shown at right.

The essential nature of any personal endeavour is threefold:

• a state of transcendence (RL7 ↔ RL6 ↔ RL5) to create a potential that …
• you mediate and convert through personal experience-RL4 into …
• a process of actualization (RL3 ↔ RL2 ↔ RL1).

You may wish to review:

• The dynamic framework as a whole.
• How the elements of endeavour interact.

Creativity in an Endeavour is Something Else

Creativity flows primarily from the higher transcendence-enabling Levels: from willingness, from values and goals, and from communication—with inner experience as the crucial mediator.

It is possible to include these transcendental states as forces in every Level of a THEE Structural Hierarchy, because each of its Levels or Groupings contains all the Levels of the originating hierarchy. So we can conjecture with confidence that a Root Structural Hierarchy (RsH) exists. With transcendent potentials intrinsic to every single Level/Grouping, this structure will provide us with a Framework used to ensure creativity in any personal endeavour.

Technical Details

Structural hierarchies are developed by grouping adjacent levels of THEE’s 7-level holistic hierarchies (i.e. its levels imply or include each other). Most THEE Hierarchies including those derived from a spiral transformation are holistic, and therefore allow this re-modelling.

The first «Level» in a structural hierarchy is a Grouping of 1 level i.e. G1 contains 7 groups that are monads. The next «Level» will contain all Groups of 2 adjacent levels i.e. G2 contains 6 dyads…and so on.

As a result, every G-level contains all the levels of the originating hierarchy i.e. the original differentiation of an entity into Levels has been replaced by a re-unification applicable at each G-level.
