Creativity and Adaptability are Inseparable

Creativity and adaptability are in inseparable.

Much like the process of evolution. Birds developed feathers from scales initially for warmth. Later these feathers were adapted for flight. They were made lighter yet stronger and longer for this process. 

In a time of increasing complexity we will be required to use creativity to adapt to shifting patterns of life and work, replacing old systems with more advanced, integrated holarchies. It's clear current systems need to be molded to better suit current and future contexts. 

This is true of the money system as well as many of the political and educational systems world-wide. Economic growth is decreasing at a rapid rate. This means we have to think of new more innovative ways to advance states of well being. 

For this we need a way of thinking and feeling that allows for creativity. Traditionally creativity has been viewed as a linear process. We think of an idea which we build and take to market. The success of the idea is often determined by the marketing strategy or the advertising campaign or the product; if these fail the whole idea fails. 

But creativity is much messier and more complex. We can't view the redesigning of systems in a linear fashion. We need to think more expansively, more fluidly if we are to transition from scarcity-based systems to abundance-based systems. 

This means endless reworking. Underpinned by a very particular state of consciousness. Our motive cannot be driven by fear or greed. We need to let go of what limits our potential to create the kind of systems that can take us towards an abundance-filled future. Where we all work together for the good of the whole.

In order to be adaptable we need a mindset that is very flexible, yet balanced too. Like yoga for the mind. A mindset that when faced with enormous challenges can bend into shape, go into the problem and work out a solution from within the confines of the challenge. But for this we need to be very present and aware, not only of our own state of consciousness, but what's going on around us too.
