What happens to creativity when I give up memory?

When you drop the weight of memory, you become a fresh canvas, allowing creativity to flow as the natural expression of your presence in the here and now.

— Osho
According to Osho, when you drop psychological memory (not useful facts, but the past's emotional residues) you become herenow. Meeting each moment and person afresh, you stop reacting mechanically and begin responding creatively. Creativity is the natural flowering of presence: an original, living intelligence replacing secondhand patterns, interpretations, and anger. Freed from yesterday's imprint, perception clears, compassion arises, and action becomes inventive, appropriate, and alive.

Let go of the feelings and stories from yesterday, and your mind sees freshly today, so new ideas and right actions appear by themselves.
