| The educational system is poor at teaching children how to retain their inherent creative talents. So much emphasis is put on learning rote memorization of data, that cultivating the imagination is a lost art. Those who do retain this ability are not quite sure, as they mature, how to channel this gift into everyday life. We have here a number of articles that offer useful techniques to enhance the creative process. We invite you to chose those you are drawn to and add them to your own repertoire of talents. | |||

| THE POWER OF IMAGINATION | |||
|
Everything created was given birth through imagination. All form is the outcropping of mind. Before anything becomes formed it was conceived in someone’s mind first through the power of their imagination. The ability to imagine is universal. The power to imagine is not limited by gender, culture, education or intelligence. If more people understood this power they could transform their life accordingly. |

| CREATIVE ILLUSION | |||
| How much of what you perceive is illusion and how much is based on fact? You might be surprised at the answer.

Your creativity depends on your ability to discern between what is "real" and what is "not real". Find out how this is done. | |||
| CREATIVE CRYPTOGRAPHY | |||
| Cryptography is an old science. People began creating codes as soon as they began to use written language. Many great minds were fascinated by cryptanalysis.

Chess
is more than just another board game for the competitive spirit.
Each piece has a unique mobility upon a deliberate landscape of
opportunities. Once you understand the relationships and harmonies
between each piece as they relate to the rules of the game, you
can play with new insight. Chess will teach you a lot about yourself,
and may help you to correct some attitudes that are keeping you
from being who you want to be.
