ABSTRACT

Creativity relates to death. Indeed, in its fullest meaning, human culture attempts to create a vision of reality that transcends death of our mortal existence and projects it into the sphere of immortality. Culture is a perennial and massive compensatory activity of humankind. It provides a lofty inspiration and promise of transcendental potentialities of human beings in their encounter with the life-threatening and life-diminishing potency of death. Culture is a noble attempt to escape life’s impermanency by promoting the timeless aspects of our existence. Thus, culture will always remain a heroic act of humanity’s final victory over death. Creativity, which is the expressive, formal mode of every culture, is a vehicle of human transformation through the trust and contact with the universal “Wholeness” [1, 2].
