Creatively subversive
“As humanistic psychologists, educators, peacemakers, spiritual guides, expressive artists, and researchers, we have a large web of people that, if working together, can manifest positive shifts in a troubled world.
“My own focus has been to giving an active life to Carl Roger’s “Theory of Creativity.” In these times where conformity is being thrust upon us by governments, we urgently need strong individuals who are able to think and act creatively. Creativity threatens those who demand conformity.
“Dictators squelch self-expression and the creative process. They do not want their citizens to think for themselves or to be spontaneous, imaginative or self-determined. Thus, creativity is subversive to those who demand conformity to a political system.”
