If you identify yourself as a human being, then where does thought come from? What is a belief? A human being is a physical being, flesh, blood, bone, a reflection in the mirror. How does a human being create anything? A human being cannot create anything until a thought is produced for the human being to react to.
Is thought physical? it produces physical output, but that's after it comes into exsitance. I'm not saying your experiences don't matter, of course they do, but where does you creative power come from? Your arms? Your legs? Your mind?
When your human being dies, where do you go? So you're not a human being any more? So what are you then? A spirit that uses a human being to experience a physical reality?
After I asked myself all these questions I came to consider that if creativity is not specifically human, then I as a human being were just a meat sack being controlled by some kind of outside force. If that's possible then I would like to consider that force is the real me, therefore my true identity is not a human being.
If you want to identify yourself as a human being, go right ahead, whatever empowers you, will empower you. This is my POV, it's not a law or a rule, it's what I see as possible and empowering.
Works for me
