Sadness is simply a space.
“The thing to recognize about the individuals is that they need to be able to live out their sadness in peace - not to have somebody to say to them: “why are you sad?” or “you should be happy now”.
These people have to recognize that sadness is simply a chemistry that doesn’t require a reason.
It is here in the sadness part of the emotional wave where the true creativity lies in the individual’s process.
Sadness is simply a space.
It can be a magnificent space, if you don’t turn it into the enemy and make a problem out of it.
It is in these sad spaces that individuality will not and cannot have an impact on the outer world. It is intended as a private space.
There will be no creative impact because if you provoke from that sadness, you provoke a totally different response from when you provoke from happiness.
Melancholy always moves through those periods.
The great creative individuals throughout history are well known for their self-destructive tendencies.
For these people the great difficulty was that they did not have the benefit of this education, and were unable to liberate themselves from being victims of the emotional wave.”
