“All creativity displayed in our action comes from thought; what we think we act. We create from thought, and thoughts come from somewhere within us, the source of thought. That source of thought, from where these thoughts (which we call “currents of energy and intelligence”) come out, must be a reservoir of creativity, the pure field of creative intelligence…
Transcendental Meditation is a technique that brings the inner field of pure creative intelligence into daily life, applying it so that life is more successful…
The maximum momentum of creativity is spontaneously developed in every impulse of our thought. This develops with Transcendental Meditation, and the effect of greater skill in action increases with the intellectual understanding of it.”
– Maharishi
