Creativity and I
"True Creativity is being in Union with our Own Devine Nature." - Anon.
" Willingness to extend the Love within us through Creative Expression is our way of transforming the world for through Creativity we begin to move from the life SCRIPTED for us by past Conditioning to a life of Autonomy and Freedom."
- Nick Williams (Power Beyond Measure- an inspiring guide to personal freedom.)
Past Conditioning ( Lord Ludwig) "How can savages have conception of God! How Can?"
True Creativity Is:

- Something We Must Bring Into Being
- Something New and Innovative
- It Is Something akin to Making Love
- It is actual Love Bursting out of Us

I thank the organisers for this enterprising venture and like a mustard seed 2-ET Media Network and the Entrepreneurship Enhancement Centre, Not forgetting MTN, UNESCO...Members of The Directors Guild of Nigeria, The Benin Film Academy and particularly, Mr and Mrs Eyaba for this show of Love expressed through their creative geniuses residing inside for those who can!
