Not really, but it can happen.

True creativity taps on the more instinctive, primordial essences of the human being, far from the pure logical reasoning, even though it has its own logicless logic.

“Insanity”, as in “non-sane”, where “sanity” comes from Latin “sanus”, the “sound in mind”, the “sound in body”, so “insanity” implies a silent mind and a silent body, which is needed for true creativity to emerge because Nature abhors a vacuum (because the very fabric of spacetime IS a vacuum itself, a vacuum filling its own vacuum), so the quietness, stillness and nothingness will be always filled with something we commonly recognize as “numbness” (the feeling when the body is excessively relaxed, for example, shortly after waking up from a long sleep), “randomness” and “noise”.

What is seen as “insanity” is our natural, untamed state. It’s can be both our “inner bright child”, a naive and whimsical persona, as well as our “inner darkness”, a mysterious and ominous persona. Both need to be integrated, just like Taoist’s Yin and Yang, in order to achieve the wholeness (Tau).

Creativity is a process of taking the order out of chaos, which in turn came from its own order, which came from primordial chaos. It seems paradoxical because it is. And it’s beautiful in this way.
