Yesterday I listed some tools that can help a person to recognize the full extent of his or her identity. I mentioned the practice of a number of arts (by no means an exhaustive list), but failed to mention that one does not have to practice these arts to benefit from them. Reading books, viewing visual and dramatic arts, listening to music all, also, teach us something about the range and potential of our minds.

I certainly do a lot more reading than I do writing, listen more than I sing, view more artwork than I create. In effect, every creative work constitutes a paradigm that demonstrates some particular way of selecting and organizing the overwhelming flow of information that is our unfiltered experience of the world. Creative works unite sensory and rational input in one context.
