Revelations come when needed to those receptive

Revelations come when you are:

1. Relaxed
2. Alone (most often)
3. Mentally receptive
4. Needy (in problem solving mode)

 

These characteristics hit me usually when I get up in the early morning and am alone in my office area. This is something you need to consider having: an area that you can inhabit that contributes to your being able to have revelations. Revelations can be missed when personal distractions or "personal noise" keeps the creative insights hidden from your introspection. You must be ready to receive the revelations or they will be missed.

 

If your life is too busy or crowded and you don't like what is going on in your life, then you NEED some QUIET TIME! There is no way around it. The TV persona of the Danny DeVito's character in the comedy film "Other's People Money" running around being active except when sleeping is a misnomer. You have to be quiet to hear your inner revelations, you have to be receptive, you have to be ready for the insights.

 

Find a place, make a time, and do it regularly: every day, or every week. Do it today!

I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation..."
