loading . . . “The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.” - Jung In this quote, Carl Jung emphasizes that creativity is not a product of logical thinking or intellectual effort, but rather stems from a deeper, instinctual force—what he calls the play instinct. Jung argues that true innovation arises when the creative mind engages with the world not from a place of rigid analysis or calculation, but from a sense of spontaneity and joyful exploration. The creative process, for Jung, is driven by a natural inner necessity that compels the individual to express or form something new, often through a playful interaction with the objects, ideas, or materials that they are passionate about. This form of creativity is not about controlling or mastering the objects of the mind, but rather about developing a relationship with them—where the mind “plays” with these objects freely, allowing for surprises, discovery, and the emergence of new ideas. Jung’s view contrasts with the idea that creativity is simply a result of intellectual reasoning or technical skills; it is, in fact, a more organic, fluid process.
