Inspiration


Inspiration comes in least expected moments. When some feeling, some face, some overheard conversation reels you inward into the depths of the inner world and pulls from within the recesses of the mind, a simple yet utterly perfect thought. And when that thought comes forth into the forefront of memory, you have two choices. One is to rush with all the passion and fury you can muster to capture the fleeting perfection and enlighten the world by exposing it or to simply, hazily acknowledge its beauty and lazily return to the place of mediocre existence. This second choice loses the thought, pushing it back into the mysterious, passionate, creative force from whence it came and leaving the world ignorant of its brilliance. Those who are able to push beyond daily limits to enable the thought to expand into a world of ideas become the geniuses of our world, capturing that True thought and releasing it into the bodily world we live in.

INSPIRATION comes from the latin word ispiratio meaning: to blow into or upon; to breath into, hence true genius, inspiration, intelligence, or aql, is when you are breathed into with knowledge; when it flows through you, but isn't FROM you. Capture that knowledge and it brings enlightenment. Act on that knowledge and it becomes worship.
