  Have you seen an octopus before?🤷‍♂️ Just recently, I picked up a book that talks on how to code the mind. Despite the amazing insight I got from the book, I still find course questioning some ideas in the book, which is a normal thing to do. As I kept reading I got to a part that so much resonate with me. It was the idea of Ken wilber. Ken wilber is one of the most brilliant mind alive today, as mentioned by the author. He's is the originator of Integral theory, which sort of bring together discipline of cultural studies, anthropology: the study of human form, system theory, psychology and spirituality, to mention a few. Seeing all that got me thinking,  wow! no wander his twenty-five books got translated into thirty foreign languages... Though he's old I begin to see him as the new Charles Darwin and Einstein.

Yesterday, while watching a video on Instagram,  I kept saying this is "creatively funny" as I laughed, allowing air to be blown against my teeth. I was really blown away by what the "creative" did. The thing about creativity is that, our mind has been designed in a marvelous way that most of the time, we only imagine the end of something but not the beginning. For instance, you might see a bag and your mind captured that, it can be better than the one you saw, but the amusing thing is that, the mind doesn't remind you that you need to start from a piece of cloth, unless you've turn it over in your mind. so I have discovered that there are process that I and people like Steve Job  pass through when creating something, and interestingly enough you pass through it also. 👁️‍🗨️The PREPARATION stage is the stage where you tend to study, research, gather information about the material of cloth that would be proper for the kind of bag that is in your head.
