[@DK-jg5vk]

At the end of the video, Rick Rubin talks about being open and observant to forces of the universe guiding you toward an idea. As an artist, I have found that this is indeed the case. It is a real phenomenon. Once you open yourself up to the gentle nudging the universe has to offer, you will never be searching for new ideas, new ideas will be presenting themselves on a constant and continual basis when you are in the open and observing mindset.

[@DK-jg5vk]

By the way... also true. If you get a really good idea and don't act on it, in time someone else will get the same idea and they will act on it. It's happened to me... just sayin'....

[@DilminPerera]

But how do you do it literally ? Even if you’re mentally ready for it.

[@DK-jg5vk]

@@DilminPerera I think the best way is to go someplace where you've never been before, like a part of the city you live in or a town you've never been to, and you just walk around without any plan and see what draws your attention. When something draws you just go toward it, explore it and try to figure out why it has a pull on your attention. Try doing this with a clear mind and no itinerary. Engage in conversation with strangers you meet along the way. Open yourself up to the infinite possibilities and trust that the universe will show you things you need to see. That's how you start.

[@DK-jg5vk]

Also do something that you always thought you should do or wanted to do in the back of your mind but have never done. This could be going to an art show opening or a lecture or jumping in your car for a weekend road trip with no plan or map. You're sure to discover something that will be meaningful for a long time to come. I think this whole process of connecting with the universe involves moving out of your comfort zone and just getting out and exploring. I live in Michigan and once took a road trip to the east coast with no real plan, no hotel reservations, just a book of "off the beaten path" attractions and that was one of the greatest vacations of my life.

[@XBret64]

​@@DK-jg5vk I got to have such a road trip 3 years ago, it was a 20 day pilrimage to the west coast and back and it was by far one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life. My first 3 or 4 days were really uncomfortable and infuriating, but once i removed all my expectations of the trip, and took everything as it came, thats when i truly started to have the time of my life. And its really true what you say about getting out and moving to find things that are meaningful, thats the easiest way to do it.

[@CubensisEnjoyer]

Such a simple idea but when he said "we're not smart enough to know what people like" that really resonated with me. It's so true and half the time people don't even know what they themselves like. A lot of incredible things stop in their tracks when a creator gets in their head thinking about what's gonna be received well or not.

[@dordly]

It's great when friends and family like my music, but I don't make it for them, and I certainly don't consider what strangers think. I think the problem is that a lot of people don't want to be a good artist, they want to be a famous artist, and that's a stress I don't wish on anyone because nothing harms art AND the artist more than caring what other people might think.

[@Krafty]

He's speaking so much truth in this. I especially relate to the "ever had an idea and 6 months later..." I've had that a bunch and all that has taught me is to act upon those ideas. I had an idea for a music video once and a year or so later, Dax did literally did it. I believe all ideas are out there and we can tune into the frequency and catch those ideas.

When asked about creativity.. I say "creativity comes from inside.. it just comes" due to lack of words to explain.. but here how profoundly Rubin explained/discussed about almost all of the things and the magic that happens in a creative process..🔥💯

[@TarzanHedgepeth]

There’s a kind of “spiritual obedience” being discussed here. I relate to that. Seeing past what everyone else SEEMS to be assuming; and pointing out that underlying principle that seems to be kind of protruding from the woodwork… except the woodwork is like the veil of the space between objects and these things kind of just come out, like a wormhole created by Dr. Strange or something. I tried to describe this process to my brother who is a Major in the Air Force. He nodded his head and said, “Yeah. Yeah. It’s called ‘Leadership’.”

[@TarzanHedgepeth]

@Vert ty

[@deneb3552]

When we say something is instinctive or comes from talent, I'd dare say those are our best moments and those moments are not coming from a person. It's exactly obedience and it really is coming from something like God or quantum or the universe or some shit, not you as a person. When the ego dissolves, when it's just love and enjoyment, not making money or getting a job done, that's when we become the instruments of something bigger than ourselves. It's a wonderful experience. Funny enough it usually leads to all sorts of achievements and successes for the individual.

[@TarzanHedgepeth]

@@deneb3552 Most indeed. I agree. When left to my own devices, no matter how much I THINK I know, I come up short. Absolutely agree that when I do good, it MUST be God; not me. The evidence speaks for itself. What’s really hard is knowing what to do IN BETWEEN those moments… or maybe, I misjudge and I AM being used, but I just don’t like it sometimes? I might think I know a thing or two - but, really, no matter how much science I can do, maybe what I perceive to be good and right… maybe it just isn’t? There’s an interview with John Mayer where he talks about writer’s block being when the “reader doesn’t agree with what the writer is doing”(in the mind). And the question is, IS THE READER WRONG? And life is like that, too… Maybe, the observer (in the mind) doesn’t agree with what the performer is doing; but maybe the observer is wrong? And so there is this cognitive dissonance that goes along with being God’s instrument… Because the flesh disagrees with the spirit. And on the point of quantum, or the universe - it is well known that there is a debate as to whether quantum is really describing a probabilistic universe, or whether it only APPEARS that way because of our inability to compute all the aspects of literally every single utterly fundamental event… which we know we can’t do; there are just too many particles/localized packets of energy to even begin to do that; and they’re moving too quickly, and their trajectories are still theoretical because we have to make a lot of assumptions based on what we THINK we know… So, at the most fundamental physical level, we’re still playing with numbers too complex for us to put into understanding - but our MINDS can visualize; we can slow those events down, and imagine them microscopically, and play out the dynamics and the fluid motions… but proving what the mind can visualize is a near impossible feat. It can be communicated, and then there are those who can visualize and agree and others who can’t visualize and so are relegated to trusting only in what they can control - the numbers. The irony being that numbers are merely a macro-physical representation of yet another abstract; but it doesn’t seem that way to those who rely on merely their physical senses… Um… My point was that, yeah; God is beyond our numbers, the universe MIGHT NOT BE, but His control over it is not going to be predictable no matter how good we become at that… So who are we to think that when we made a good decision, that it was US that did it? It seems rather arrogant to me… but arrogance is only reserved for those who have the hubris to go against what is seemingly known; so it’s just an extreme lack of an awareness… Just like when you plant the tree, grow the tree, cut down the tree, work the lumber, whittle some blocks, square them off, and show the toddler who you feed and raise and teach to stack the blocks; then he stacks the blocks and he says, “I DID IT!” And you say, “Yes, you did it. 👏” And before all that, God created the universe within with the sun and earth reside, the sun’s warmth, the earth’s green, he made the trees to exist and to grow, made the tree an object that COULD be worked, made stones which can BECOME metal, made the physics which makes it POSSIBLE to make saws and sawmills, and made the air which the hands breath that are ABLE to fashion out of those materials the blocks which were made possible by the control of dimension in the first place, the forces that allow the blocks to be stacked, the processes which allow you to have a son to teach, the heart to love, the mouth to speak, the concept of teaching and glory and success… But, “We did it. 👏”

[@deneb3552]

@@TarzanHedgepeth haha, exactly...nice picture with the tree I dig. I think we literally can't do wrong because everything happens for a reason. Maybe it's a better way to think about it like "how can I achieve this state of being in agreement with myself and just enjoy being, doing, creating whatever" that flow or zen state and I'm telling you, there are pretty mechanical, easy, free and in a very literal sense "natural" ways, methods to get there. Then it becomes something like a path, the more you walk on it, the easier it becomes to get there. Because you know where you're going. That's basically meditation, a psychedelic experience with intention, maybe a NDE I suppose, I never had the latter. Anyway, it's interesting how "creativity" is fundamental to a balanced, peaceful life like that. Even if you're not an "artist" which you are if you live like this whatever you do turns into art anyway. One thing is for sure, we gotta be humble and try and overcome our egos. That single thing, even just the intention makes everything much better. Things just start to click. ...too bad we can't do this with a splif sitting on a bench with a cold beverage eh 😁

I don’t think I’d ever give someone the advice of following their passion without also warning them of the real possibility that no one in the whole wide world will ever share, or have any interest at all, in that passion with them. He touches upon that possibility a couple of times, pointing out how sometimes it (what you create from you passion) doesn’t connect. Or maybe it’s not in the cards for that person to have that success. True. And when it comes to work ethic, it’s not about doing the work to create something. What matters is how much effort you put into self promotion and networking to gain whatever attention is required for your creative contribution to not die in solitude. Especially if what you have created is something that lies outside the bounds of being easily relatable. If the passion you follow is to create things that are easily understood and relatable, you will not have to work hard to get the recognition that allows you to share what you’ve done. If what you have created is not easily understood, or perhaps is even offensive to normality, tradition and relatability, you will need to work much harder to generate any interest. So sure, follow your passion. But don’t be surprised or disappointed if no one ever gives a shit about you and what you’ve created.

[@loganm15]

In the last sentence you make it seem like following your passion is a horrible thing to do?? The only attention that your art needs is your own, no one should need to depend on outside acceptance for what they made, as long as one can please themselves through their art then that's all that matters

[@pentacleman1000]

@@loganm15 Yes, external validation *shouldn’t* matter. But to many, it *does*. So my statement is an acknowledgement that people who *want* external validation might be disappointed, when following their passion doesn’t get them any of that. Hence, my thought about *not* telling someone to follow their passion, unless I am certain they are mentally prepared to *not* get that validation from anyone but themself. If you are absolutely certain that someone has no interest in getting any external validation, then sure, tell them to follow their passion. But if you suspect that even a small part of their passion involves sharing what they make, with an expectation that people will like it and praise them for it, I would warn them about the possibility that no one ever will.

Don't force and pressure it to come up, just always be open, because the universe will always give it to you no matter what; no matter the place nor the time, it will always arrive. And, once it arrives, take it and act on it, or else that idea will eventually dissolve. Plus, the more you do things, the more ideas will generate throughout the process. So, just do it!

What he said about putting in the work. He's so right. I feel the reason sometimes I fell short is because of the work.. Sometimes I believe I put in the work. But, it didn't happen where I connected with everyone yet. I remember doing a song that I wrote in ten minutes. But, you knw what a momentary thing is sometimes a justififcation of what happens when you put in the work. Sometimes its overwhelming when you see what materializes when you put in the work.

This reminds me of the parable of the sower in the Bible. Ideas are the seeds coming down to different people (soils).

A couple of points to help: 1: Overall mixed resonance (which can potentially be missed out on and end up with possibly unintentional effects on the other hand or intentional - which you can be sneaky - more or less - with). One way to think of that is mixing two colors together to make a third one that neither of the first two can do by themselves, this mechanic also applies to frequencies. 2: When you say "They'll like this", do you mean "like" as in what really resonates with you or "like" when at least one of many positive emotions are experienced (especially ones you and maybe many others deem "fitting")?

As an artist, producer, and audio engineer, this video has been very helpful for my creative process for my 4th upcoming album JAPAN PART THREE, thank you Rick for empowering artists to express themselves and work together to create the best work possible for the world 🙏🏽👨🏽‍🎨💎 with gratitude, LaynoProd

[@glo.creative]

Love to hear it! Thanks for sharing - Wishing you all the best 💙

[@wolfbacktv5436]

Love when he said you have an idea and don't move on it and it happens anyway 🔥

[@vivipedia]

I like what he said about collaboration with the universe. I guess it’s the truth we actually have no our ideas, it’s coming from the world around

[@turtleflo_]

Authentic Creativity is the highest form of Self-Love. Thank you for this interview. Rooting for all the creative talents out there. Take great care of yourSelf. You've got this. 💜

[@laurinerad4329]

He is such a wise creator.

[@curtisfalkmusic]

You beautiful old sage Rick, thanks for being so real all the time!

[@bmproductions785]

This video is packed full of useful information and motivation for someone trying to create something out of nothing. I never knew I had it in me till late in life. I've learned so much in a short period of time.

[@Loveispeacej]

Same here I'm 32 just now learning I've been an artist this whole time never know it

[@voice-of-oblivion]

Always a pleasure...not many talk like him. Very humble and truthful. Just a cool person. No bullshit-talking.

[@leuncomfrtabel467]

I'm an animator who's picked up writing couple months ago... the way he talks about universe and creativity is absolutely resonating with me. Only after I started skeeing out stories everywhere I saw what the world was about.

[@txwhyxbeetsx4ever381]

Working at 7/11 my coworker knew I made music but he would always tell me when I was slacking and I’d tell him ur right I gotta work on it cause Your work ethic is your art ethic

[@GregBurkeVideos]

Great to hear that doing what is personal to you is not necessarily a contradiction with attracting an audience. It just requires patience and enjoying your creative work for its own sake

[@parisestrella]

Such a wise man!!! As a music artist his message resonated with me deeply! Especially the part where he spoke on not acting on your idea and someone else does instead. I’ve felt that way with instrumentals I’ve found on KZbin and later hearing some big name artist make a song with an extremely identical beat! I take it as I’m on the right path for my creativity and to act on it more!!!! 💚 Thank you for posting this video, I appreciate it💯

Am I silly or isn't he the guy that doesn't not have any creative ability and just tells people his ideas

[@omariyon]

@@mondokruel you silly

[@mondokruel]

@@omariyon what does he actually do lol

[@jonnyboyy24]

@@mondokruel literally google all the music he's produced and worked on and hopefully delete your ignorant comment out of shame lmao

[@mondokruel]

@@jonnyboyy24 I'm not ashamed but watching this guy live his life at home is kind of appalling. He has produced great talents but what he's done with his wealth is why I even bothered to say that, no shame on my end rofl.

[@prodpoonk]

there's so many creatives that need to hear this

[@Catthepunk]

I've actually seen an idea of mine done successfully a little after it came to me. It was surreal

[@angelocast]

As a music creator and sculptor from the heart and afrer learning how mind and souls works, what he is sharing here is deeply real and no so many people understand this. Is Amazing how he can explain in a simple and powerful way. Artists Creators BRING YOUR LOVE AND UNIQUENESS. Let's heal this word with our art😇😇😇

[@jrsanti382]

How can I learn more about this

[@davisone76]

This dude is a Legend. 95% of the people don’t even know their life changed over the music he produced.

[@JoMagic-ny8zu]

What was the music he produced??

[@keithdawson8236]

Creating art is the inspiration to express one’s feelings about life. Art is what you want it to be. What ever you want it to be it will be . Dive inside your soul. And swim with your emotions Be free and be true to yourself

Rick Bubin's book The Creative Act is amazing!

[@camerado]

It also helps to be born into certain demographics with family and connections in a major entertainment city (NY/LA). I went to NYU Film and saw these variables over and over again. Not saying this was the case with Rick Rubin (*he lived in Weinstein dorm a few years before me, so I'm told), but it's astonishing to me how often this bit of objective reality is glossed over or not mentioned at all, in favor of vague mystical assurances like 'follow your passion'. In all fairness, there are some (Jarmusch, Warhol) who are not from those major cities, starting up without built in connections etc, but I'm asserting this in an important variable that's not really 'fashionable' to mention

[@nathan_johnson]

Not fashionable or not important? It’s only ever losers who haven’t gotten there that ever seem to suggest the latter.

[@end.olives]

@@nathan_johnson wtf is wrong with u dude

[@junemckenzie8412]

@@nathan_johnson what are you saying that forget about how others have connections and still go after our dreams ? (this is not a diss im genuinely asking)

[@Scott-got-caught]

@@nathan_johnson connections get you further, faster. Consider ivy league schools. You're not paying for the education, you're paying for the connections. Why do you want (the right) connections? Because it can catapult your career

[@camerado]

@@nathan_johnson Hmm. What do you mean by 'getting there'?

[@Chooch_The_Dog]

I saw a glimpse of this in my feed and then KZbin refreshed and I'm so glad I saw the title and chased it down. This is awesome.

Well observed and communicated

The universe is creation, its essence is creativity and expression. All information is alive and eternal in the divine mind; ideas seek to manifest themselves in creation but only sprout in the right soil
