More quotes by Julia Cameron
At it's essence, art is an alchemical process. Alchemy is a process of transformation.
Julia Cameron
Taking the time to write in our lives gives us the time of our lives. As we describe our environments, we begin to savor them. Even the most rushed and pell-mell life begins to take on the patina of being cherished.
Julia Cameron
We waste a lot of time and a lot of talent trying to write for the common reader, whom we will never meet. Instead we should be writing for our ideal reader.
Julia Cameron
Art is an act of the soul, not the intellect. When we are dealing with people's dreams - their visions, really - we are in the realm of the sacred. We are involved with forces and energies larger than our own. We are engaged in a sacred transaction of which we know only a little: the shadow, not the shape.
Julia Cameron
Money cannot fill an empty soul.
Julia Cameron
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. As creative channels, we need to trust the darkness.
Julia Cameron
Workaholism is a block, not a building block.
Julia Cameron
It is the inner commitment to be true to ourselves and follow our dreams that triggers the support of the universe.
Julia Cameron
Art is the imagination at play in the field of time. Let yourself play.
Julia Cameron
What would a nontoxic god think of your creative goals? Might such a god really exist?
Julia Cameron
I believe that the dark night of the soul is a common spiritual experience. I believe, too, that the answer is continued seeking and perseverance. It helps to know that others have endured a loss of faith.
Julia Cameron
Selecting a challenge and meeting it creates a sense of self-empowerment that becomes the ground for further successful challenges.
Julia Cameron
Survival lies in sanity, and sanity lies in paying attention...the capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention.
Julia Cameron
It is not the act of making art that is painful. It is the desire to make something and not acting on it that causes pain....A day when I don't write is less happy. This is not discipline. It is affection, enthusiasm, adventure-any number of other words besides discipline.
Julia Cameron
In order to thrive as artists we need to be available to the universal flow. When we put a stopper on our capacity for joy by anorectically declining the small gifts of life, we turn aside the larger gifts as well.
Julia Cameron
In a sense, as we are creative beings, our lives become our work of art.
Julia Cameron
As you explore your inner world, your outer world will come more sharply into focus. As you face your imagined barriers, you will encounter real ones, as well.
Julia Cameron
The creator made us creative. Our creativity is our gift from God. Our use of it is our gift to God. Accepting this bargain is the beginning of true self-acceptance.
Julia Cameron
If you work on your creativity, you deepen your spirituality. And if you work on your spirituality, you deepen your creativity.
Julia Cameron
Our moods and insights are transitory. This current is a flow of grace moving us to our right livelihood, companions, destiny.
