To stay sane in an insane world as a creative man or woman he or she must:

1. Keep one’s life financially independent.
2. Continue unabated to exercise one’s power of creativity in concrete, strenuous tasks, always seeking perfection as near as possible.
3. Carefully cherish LOVE of a partner with full gratification, of the total emotional being if possible, of the body in a clean way if necessary.
4. Keep out of the trap of confusion by the average man and woman, helping others to keep out of the trap too as best they can.
5. Keep one’s structure clean like brook water through knowing and correcting every mistake, making the corrected mistake the guiding lines to new truth.
6. Never yield to the expediencies of life except where it is basically harmless or where the main line of development is not impeded for the duration of one’s life.

Good rules for “creatives.”
