Creative Action derives from a constructive rather than a destructive creation. It is not enough for an idea to be revolutionary; it must be evolutionary describes David Life, co-founder of Jivamukti Yoga. An action is broken down into three types: thought, word and deed. A broken or faulty thought will lead the individual into actions that mire us more deeply in Saṃsāra (meaning of which is "a wandering through" – a passage through many states of existence that is involved in the cycle of death and rebirth.)

To move past a predominately Saṃsāra state of existence, we strive to purify thoughts and motivations through self-reflection and yoga. And, energy can neither be created or destroyed so a reintegration of previously unconditioned states of consciousness must be undergone! An action (or a creation of art) that is truly evolutionary must be out of the ordinary as it presents a new reality.

“It is common for revolutionaries to take on the attributes of their oppressors, usually because they are acting from a similar cultural and historical context and they don’t have any better ideas. When actions are repeated blindly, they will bind the actors to their role. When actions emerge from the ground of Being, improvisation and invention is possible as new forms appear on the horizon. That does not mean that form is bad and that anarchy is the true path. The techniques of a Yoga practice are the tools that we use to strip away the cultural conditioning of the body and the mind.” Most of the time when we say that we are expressing ourselves it is only a tiny fraction of the self filtered thru the ego’s misinformation, injuries and false-identifications accumulated throughout life. When we find ourselves doing new surprising actions well (free perhaps from Saṃsāra), it is possible to step out of the habitual way of acting and even evolve the ego consciously
