    48: William Blake • On Vision's Wing • Part 2: Innocence & Experience

    What makes Blake's Songs of Innocent & of Experience a work of genius? What is the nature of vision? What is Blake's concept of fourfold vision? Is it even graspable by the intellect?

    47: William Blake • On Vision's Wing • Part 1: The Marriage of Heaven & Hell

    William Blake is considered one of the greatest artists and poets of the English language, yet he lived most of his life in poverty. Why? Many of his acquaintances considered him mad while friends who knew his art considered him 'brilliantly mad'. What was so different about Blake? Join me on this William Blake series as we pry open the mind of this celebrated creative genius to find the true meaning of his enigmatic works. ∞∞∞∞∞ View the companion gallery for this episode here, including read-along version of the poems: https://mjdorian.com/blake/ ∞∞∞∞∞ Support Creative Codex on my Patreon and get access to exclusive episodes, including the LIMITED RELEASE SERIES (Kurt Cobain & Jim Morrison), the Red Book Reading series, and all the Episode Exclusives:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Buy me a coffee or add to my fancy books fund on Venmo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3235189073379328069&created=1681912456.228596&printed=1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ∞∞∞∞∞ View an online copy of A Blake Dictionary by S.

    Red Book Reading: Jung's Precognitions of WW1 & The Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand

    Dr. Carl Jung began to have apocalyptic visions in October 1913 which compelled him to engage a dialogue with his unconscious. In the following months, he transcribed these experiences in his personal journals (Black Books). When World War 1 started in June 1914, Jung realized that his visions, dreams, and meditations may have been precognitions of the impending war. On this minisode, we explore the writings and journals of Dr. Carl Jung to help us better understand this pivotal moment in Jung's life and how it inspired his later psychological theories. ∞∞∞∞∞ Support Creative Codex on my Patreon and get access to the Red Book Reading series, as well as other exclusives including the LIMITED RELEASE SERIES (Kurt Cobain & Jim Morrison), and all the Episode Exclusives:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Buy me a coffee or add to my fancy books fund on Venmo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3235189073379328069&created=1681912456.228596&printed=1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ———— All Music by MJDorian Written & Produced by MJDorian ———— Connect with me on social media for all the newest updates: YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/creativecodex⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mjdorian/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --------- Creative Codex is written & produced by MJDorian.

    Language Fails Us: Confronting the Nature of Art & Artessence

    Where language breaks, art begins. Language routinely fails us in conversations about art and creativity. In the following essay, I elaborate on the reason for this problem and offer three terms which can help give more depth and clarity to our discussions of art. The three primary experiential aspects of art: Art-making: verb, a creative act that results in an art-object. Art-object: noun, a material or immaterial byproduct of art-making. Artessence: noun, the state of mind of an art experience. ∞∞∞∞∞ Read the essay in its original written form here: https://mjdorian.com/language/ ∞∞∞∞∞ Support Creative Codex on my Patreon and get access to exclusive episodes, including the LIMITED RELEASE SERIES (Kurt Cobain & Jim Morrison), the Red Book Reading series, and all the Episode Exclusives:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Buy me a coffee or add to my fancy books fund on Venmo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3235189073379328069&created=1681912456.228596&printed=1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----------- All Music by MJDorian Written & Produced by MJDorian ———— Connect with me on social media for all the newest updates: YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/creativecodex⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mjdorian/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --------- Creative Codex is written & produced by MJDorian.

    Creativity Tip 23: Be Driven By A Vision

    All creative geniuses have visions throughout their lives which guide their work. What does it mean to have a vision? How does a vision differ from a goal? How do you discover your own vision? Let's talk about it. This insight developed from recent studies and reflections I've been engaged in, it is part of my current attempt to define creative genius through several traits which all creative geniuses seem to share. In searching through all of the insights gathered over five years of doing this show, I've noticed that all of the figures we have covered have a vision which, in some way, guides their creativity. I hope you find this minisode inspiring. ----------- Here are the questions mentioned in the episode. I recommend getting a journal or opening up a notepad on your computer and answering them to compel a vision of your own. Feel free to be as prosaic and lengthy as you like.  What activities / mediums am I most passionate about? What are my strengths in those activities / mediums?  What subjects and styles do I find most engaging? What subjects and styles do I love ‘creating in’ most?  What’s something the world needs? What’s something I’ve never seen anyone do? Even if the process of answering these doesn’t lead to a new vision immediately, the act of dialogue with your inner world will jumpstart something which will. ----------- Support Creative Codex on my Patreon and gain access to exclusive episodes, including the Kurt Cobain series, the RED BOOK READING series, and all the Episode Exclusives:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠ Buy me a coffee or add to my fancy books fund on Venmo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3235189073379328069&created=1681912456.228596&printed=1⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----------- All Music by MJDorian Written & Produced by MJDorian ———— Connect with me on social media for all the newest updates: YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/creativecodex⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mjdorian/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠ --------- Creative Codex is written & produced by MJDorian.
