This article will make more sense when read in conjunction with How Newcreators use mind, body and spirit to create the new and enrich the world.
Newcreators have at their disposal seven creative powers, each associated with a certain part of the body.
| POWER | SUPERPOWER | LOCATION | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| Faith | Transcend the Mundane | Crown | “A critical but curious mind’s readiness to adopt a reality model (even if provisionally) for which there is less than absolute, empirical proof.” —Jay Gaskill, The Dialogic Imperative (no longer online — contact me for pdf) |
| Imagination | Enrich the World | Third eye ¹ | The power to foresee a world enrichment possibility and conceive a potent idea for actualising it. |
| Conceptualisation | Create the New | Throat | The power to devise something that will generate the foreseen value. |
| Intent | Transcend the Mundane | Heart | A heartfelt desire to enrich the world with value, meaning and joy. |
| Materialisation | Create the New | Diaphragm | The power to give the creation tangible form. |
| Realisation | Enrich the World | Pelvic floor ¹ | The power to bring the creation to maturity and fully realise its value generation potential. |
| Devotion | Transcend the Mundane | Tailbone | An enduring, palpable commitment to enriching the world through unconditional service. |
1. The metaphorical ‘third eye’ is located between the eyebrows. The pelvic floor muscles (a.k.a PC muscles) are the ones used to control the flow of urine.
This is an embodied metaphor and does not need to be taken literally.
The creative powers combine to form three superpowers
The first superpower (Transcend the Mundane) must be activated in order to bring the second (Enrich the World) and third (Create the New) into play, as you can see the graphic above. You can click on a label to view more information.What are the leftside equivalents of rightside powers?
The seven creative powers only have relevance to those who have transcended the mundane and entered primal world.
People trapped in mundane world are likely to dismiss the seven powers and their bodily locations as New Age mumbo jumbo.
This means that, strictly speaking, the seven powers have no leftside equivalents.
But if were not the case, the leftside versions might look something like this:
| Leftside (mundane world) | Rightside (primal world) |
|---|---|
| Reason | Faith |
| Vision | Imagination |
| Ideation | Conceptualisation |
| Purpose | Intent |
| Execution (making and delivering) | Materialisation |
| Marketing | Realisation |
| Manipulation ² | Devotion |
2. Manipulation of the world for one’s own benefit.
