You Are Michelangelo...And You Are David!,by Shahana Dattagupta
Paperback, 208 pages, March 27, 2013
Springing
from the premise that creativity is our true nature and communion
with Spirit, YOU ARE MICHELANGELO…AND YOU ARE DAVID! presents
concrete ideas and actions for the intentioned and disciplined
practice of creativity, with implications for creating both oneself
and physical works of meaning and value for this world.
In this book, Shahana Dattagupta explores human creativity not
merely as a nice-to-have workplace skill or the exclusive forte of
inventors and artists, but as the very soul-purpose for each and
every one of us, as our responsibility towards expressing full human
potential, and as the way to transcend fearful survival to create a
loving, thriving existence for oneself, for all humanity, and for
the planet.
Discover how your creative projects and initiatives in the world are
really playgrounds and construction sites for the creation of you!
Explore how you unconsciously create yourself and your life merely
by the stories you tell, and how you can completely transform
yourself and your life by shifting from fear-driven re-action to
Love-inspired action. And learn how to practice your creativity by
calling into action and integration its Yin and Yang principles.
