Creativity involves coping with: new ideas, images, fantasies, dreams, combinations, concepts, words, feelings, experiences, visions, emotions, relationships, realities, values, priorities, affirmations, judgments, etc. The new is usually threatening to the old. Insecure people do not seek such threatening experiences. Thus, to promote creativity we must promote appropriate kinds of security. Security which is sought through invulnerability will not promote creativity, because such security does not involve spiritual security. It is a pseudo-security. Invulnerability is a sign of a high level of insecurity. Only emotionally insecure people seek invulnerability. We can not promote creativity by providing invulnerable strongholds to which to retreat. People who are seeking invulnerability or who believe they have achieved invulnerability do not seek to initiate changes with the freedom which is characteristic of meaningfully creative people. Security which is based upon competency is not the basis for creativity, because competency is conditional. Competency is competitive, because the recognition of competency is comparative in a competitive society. Thus competency does not offer meaningful security---there is always the threat of others becoming more competent, and raising the standards in terms of which judgments are made. Conditional competency does not provide security for creative people. Security which is based upon personal favoritism does not provide a basis for creativity, because personal favoritism tends to be highly conditional. Creativity may initiate changes which will undermine the conditions for personal favoritism. People who are compulsively seeking others' favor---tend not to be very creative. They tend to conform to the perceived expectations of those whose favor they court. Teachers who would help their students be creative need to work to provide their students with meaningful security which truly promotes creativity. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
