Abstract

A report from the University of Cape Town explores the contrast between a Cassian-Merton model of mystical prayer and moments of heightened creativity, known as 'Big-C', in contemporary music. The research delves into the enigmatic nature of Big-C creativity, which can manifest spontaneously with minimal deliberate thought and experience. Drawing on insights from St. John Cassian and Thomas Merton, the study highlights the similarities between the developmental paths of prayer and creativity, shedding light on the emergence of Big-C creativity in artists.
