Inspiration

[Jethro Tull]

Some interesting stuff in this book about the Holy Spirit and how it works. Just wanted to share!-----The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will; the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why. The truly valuable thing is the intuition. Albert Einstein Inspiration: The word means “breath of God.” It is where ideas, art, poetry, movies, philosophy, music, inventions, revelations and all new creative things come from. It manifests in many ways such as talent, intuition and insight. Intuition: Intuition and inspiration come from the same place. They are both manifestations of the collective unconscious, or Holy Spirit. When asked where they got the idea for something, creative people will say they were inspired, they dreamed it; it just came to them in a flash, etc. All new creative things come from outside our own mind. By definition, they have to come from outside your mind to be truly new. Once Paul McCartney was asked where his songs come from. He answered: “I don't know, they seem to come out of the air.” The evidence: There has to be an outside influence because ideas can come to many people at about the same time. Example: Language developed at about the same time everywhere on the planet. Religions from different times and places have many things in common. Inventions and styles of music and art come to people at about the same time. It is not just a coincidence.----- Page 76 from the free book, The Present (with religion) at http://www.thetruthcontest.comOne with Christ.

Thankyou for your inspired comments. I imagine having the freedom to explore inspirational themes without interruptions and distractions. I have read poetry that uses insignificant, mundane and trivial things of life as its subject.People are inspired by different things in different ways, but as Christians we know that Holy Inspiration is truly powerful.

Glad to elaborate, JT.Webster's Dictionary Definition of Holy:HolyHO'LY, a.1. Properly, whole, entire or perfect, in a moral sense. Hence, pure in heart, temper or dispositions; free from sin and sinful affections. Applied to the Supreme Being, holy signifies perfectly pure, immaculate and complete in moral character; and man is more or less holy, as his heart is more or less sanctified, or purified from evil dispositions. We call a man holy,when his heart is conformed in some degree to the image of God, and his life is regulated by the divine precepts. Hence, holy is used as nearly synonymous with good, pious, godly.Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Pet 1.2. Hallowed; consecrated or set apart to a sacred use, or to the service or worship of God; a sense frequent in Scripture; as the holy sabbath; holy oil; holy vessels; a holy nation; the holy temple; a holy priesthood.3. Proceeding from pious principles,or directed to pious purposes; as holy zeal.4. Perfectly just and good; as the holy law of God.5. Sacred; as a holy witness.Holy of holies, in Scripture, the innermost apartment of the Jewish tabernacle or temple, where the ark was kept,and where no person entered, except the high priest, once a year.Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit, the Divine Spirit; the third person in the Trinity; the sanctifier of souls.1John 5:7(7) For there are three that bear testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.Webster's Dictionary Definition of Inspiration:InspirationINSPIRA'TION, n. [L. inspiro.]1. The act of drawing air into the lungs; the inhaling of air; a branch of respiration, and opposed to expiration.2. The act of breathing into any thing.3. The infusion of ideas into the mind by the Holy Spirit; the conveying into the minds of men, ideas, notices or monitions by extraordinary or supernatural influence; or the communication of the divine will to the understanding by suggestions or impressions on the mind, which leave no room to doubt the reality of their supernatural origin.2 Timothy 3:14-17(14) But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned them;(15) And that from a child thou hast known the sacred scriptures, which are able to make thee wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.(16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God,[i.e.God-breathed] and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:(17) That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished to all good works.All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. 4. The infusion of ideas or directions by the supposed deities of pagans.5. The infusion or communication of ideas or poetic spirit, by a superior being or supposed presiding power; as the inspiration of Homer or other poet.THE HOLY BIBLE IS HOLY INSPIRATION in as much as the Holy Spirit gave the knowledge and wisdom to those who have written down the words in the way God wanted them recorded so that mankind can learn about God's plan for His Creation and the Good News of Salvation through His beloved Son our Lord Jesus Christ.

That was nice. We each are learning about the Spirit of God given to us who believe.Learning to be silent at times to let the spirit guide in circumstances of every day life. Willing to follow what is put on our hearts towards doing good. Taking the Seed given and making sure itis planted deeply in us, that we flourish from it. Vickie
