Not all creating increases separation. In the case of inventing a new tool say, there is now one more 'thing' that you are not. One more thing is separate from the things we already got. This new object had to be distinguished (or separated) from all the existing objects in order for it to be new. Otherwise it's just a copy of something existing. It's about the way in which creating is (most) often done. Materialism is a case of runaway creating by separation.

There is no requirement to create. Some say we are only here to experience. I say creating is optional and can be done in a way that decreases separation.

Similar to you taking back your power, I am trying to unweave this cage that blocks me from being myself.
