1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction. We need it from ourselves, we

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,320
need it from other people. We need it in order

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,839
to survive. It's like water. You can't live without creativity

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,000
unplugged because we will always say yes to creativity totally uncut.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,039
We all make mistakes, so turn it into a tool.

6
00:00:14,359 --> 00:00:17,879
This is arrow unplugged stream thinking learning how to trust

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,239
what's in your present. To get there requires practice. Wants

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,960
you to paper every day, just ten minutes of your time,

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,039
write about whatever is moving through your presence of what

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,800
is right now, absolutely no judgment. See. Stream thinking is

11
00:00:31,839 --> 00:00:34,600
going to sharpen your skills as a listener, as a communicator,

12
00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:38,280
and as an activator. Learning how to trust what is

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,079
right now. This is stream thinking today. We're reading from

14
00:00:42,119 --> 00:00:44,759
January twenty eight, twenty twenty three, and I gotta be

15
00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:47,320
honest with you. We all do this and so it's

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,439
really worth the time to talk about it. We all

17
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,880
take things off the counter and we always forget where

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,240
we put them. I mean, it feels like such a

19
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,920
great idea. Less clutter is a very appetizing thing for

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,359
the eye. I can't easily remember where the items were stored.

21
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:06,159
The typical and the rightful places are a no show.

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,079
I mean, I get it. Food goes into the refrigerator, workplace,

23
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:13,640
hairnets and COVID nineteen masks. You know, they just totally disappear.

24
00:01:13,879 --> 00:01:16,719
But we need them for work. Yeah, but they're gone.

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,040
Where are they? And you end up turning the house

26
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,359
upside down. We're easily convinced to return to the store

27
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,000
to buy more. So I'm beginning to think that we

28
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,959
aren't hoarders, but rather collectors of items that we lost

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
along the way. Our DJ service once forgot the music

30
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:36,239
we were going to Raleigh, North Carolina. We got as

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,959
far as Greensboro, had to turn around and make our

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,480
way back home. Why because the music was in a

33
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:45,239
different place from the actual equipment. I don't write every

34
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,359
day to remember. I write to try to figure out

35
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:54,319
where I set down my keys. The imagination is so full,

36
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:59,519
the heart is overflowing. Everything that we do on a

37
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:03,040
daily bi is more junk that we are putting on

38
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:06,159
our path. And you wonder why you're forgetting where you

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,319
put things, because it's not important until you need that situation.

40
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,240
There are many times people say, oh, you're just being

41
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,800
an old man. You're starting to show your age because

42
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,759
you don't remember. You don't know where this man's imagination is.

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,680
It's trying to sort things out. I've always accused myself

44
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:26,000
of having multiple personalities, and that's not true at all.

45
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:29,400
I just keep files. This guy over here is going

46
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,719
to talk about music, while this guy over here talks

47
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:34,000
with authors. This guy over here goes out in he

48
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:36,919
RVs this guy over here as an interviewer. And it's

49
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,599
just compartments. And I often wonder when it comes to thinking,

50
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:43,560
we get lost inside our compartments because we think we're

51
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,479
this person. Would in fact today we're that person, but

52
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,400
we don't want to be that person because that person

53
00:02:48,439 --> 00:02:50,759
comes with rules and we don't like to be with rules.

54
00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:52,560
So therefore, we're going to go to the borderline maker

55
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,039
and create another folder. You've done it before. It happens

56
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,120
all the time on the computer. You sit there and

57
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:00,479
create all of these folders. But the thing the computer

58
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,919
is is that we have a search engine. We can

59
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,879
type in what we think the title was and poof,

60
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,039
here it comes, and then you return back to work.

61
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,719
But we don't do that with our mental images and

62
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:14,840
or experiences. There's no search engine unless you write things down.

63
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,439
One of the things that we've turned into a brilliant

64
00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:19,840
Habit is the way that we binge watch television in

65
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:22,159
this modern day and age. You can't just settle and

66
00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:25,560
watch one entire program. We have a book that's filled

67
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:28,840
with all of these shows that we are presently binge watching.

68
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:30,599
What are you in the mood for? We go to

69
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,240
the book. Hey have we watched the ending of that

70
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,840
other one? We go to the book. That's what we

71
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:38,159
need to do with our everyday life in everyday world.

72
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,039
We need to start creating the paths. Daily writing is

73
00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:44,000
a good way to do it, but sometimes people don't

74
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,759
want a daily write because they're afraid somebody's going to

75
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,520
pick up the book and read about one of their compartments.

76
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,120
You got to learn to trust what's around you. It's

77
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,919
going to make a beautiful painting one day inside the

78
00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:58,039
souls of those that live beyond you. I'm Eryl, and

79
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,120
that's stream thinking.
