Inspirations

Does the creative process spring forth from without the mind and body? Does it come from a “higher source“? It might, and then it might just come from reservoirs from within the mind. It might have more to do with our soul, whatever and wherever that is. But more importantly, it might manifest itself in everyday life in just about everyone, and what we call art are just the things that make us look at that creativity in reverence.
From where these inspirations come from is anyone’s guess, but it should never be tied down by attributing only known streams of thought to it. Are there more planes of thought? Yes, it would seem there are when we have emotions and feelings that we can’t express in words, or even grasp with our minds. These might be rare glimpses, and these are what fuel an artist attuned to their work. It is possible that somewhere along the line, the key to making us a benevolent species is in one of those rare glimpses.
