Hughes 1 and 3

Hughes Chapter 1

Creativity appears to have numerous definitions, and I think that is because everyone views creativity slightly differently. If someone saw a picture of Van Gogh's artwork they might say that it is very creative. However, if another person views the same piece of art they might not think it is creative at all. I feel that creativity is determined by the viewers. I do believe creativity can be disruptive, because creativity usually goes against rules in order to be unique and original. Perhaps altered states of consciousness do allow for the utmost creativity, however, I think people can still be very creative in a normal state of consciousness.

Hughes Chapter 3

Obviously, there is an interconnected pathway between an individual's brain, senses, and perceptions. I think the better a person knows themself, then the easier it is for them to obtain the state of consciousness they desire. However, the section on sybil kind of confused me. I'm not sure how a person can have so many different personalities all in one body. It seems like her mind was not developed correctly and that messed up all of her senses and perceptions. Since everything is connected there must be a problem in some area. I would be very interested to see a person that had MPD, because I cannot imagine how they would be.
