Ideas about The Idea Emporium
as part of the creativity emporium

- a very favorite quote -

If you bring forth what is within you,
what is within you will save you.
If you do not bring forth what is within you,
what is within you will destroy you.
from the gospel of Thomas (part of the gnostic gospels).
Thoughts on this.
