Creativity and Science

Geoffrey J. Barratt

"There's nothing new under the sun."

This common remark hints at metaphysical truth. There's nothing new to creative Spirit, God. Spirit is the only originator, builder, source. Spirit's work is finished and ideal.

How often we need and look for creative solutions to problems! In essence, these can come only from Spirit. Truly creative solutions don't arise in mortal consciousness. They're not the product of human reasoning, no matter how clever such reasoning is according to its own evaluation. Though we should arrive at what looks to us like a total impasse, an unclimbable mountain range, a trackless desert, there already exists a fruitful course of action, a solution. It exists because divine Principle exists, because nothing but Principle and its intelligent expression is active anywhere.
