WHAT IS INSPIRATION?

I wrote a book years ago called Inspiration using the two words inspire,
in-spirito —inspire, in spirit. And there was a great teacher on this planet a
couple thousand years ago named Patanjali and he said, When you are
inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your
thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your
consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new,
great, wonderful world.

And then he said—and this is what I want to ask you about—when you
are inspired, dormant forces, faculties, and talents come alive and you
discover yourself to be a greater person, by far, than you’ve ever dreamt
yourself to be. It’s almost as if you discover yourself to be God or Source or
the Tao or Divine mind or whatever name we place on this Source Energy
that you speak of and speak to us from.

The way that we have most recently been explaining that is, when you wake
up in the morning, you have the potential of being in that highest frequency,
because while you sleep, the momentum of your point of attraction ceases.

So when you first wake up, before you begin thinking thoughts of what went
wrong yesterday or what you have to do today, you have the greatest potential of
aligning with that Pure, Positive Energy.

So if you can focus there and allow a little momentum to get going, what
happens is you tune in to that Source Energy consciousness who is always aware
of everything you are doing. But it isn’t something that just happens. You have
to focus yourself into that alignment. That is the best way of describing it.

In other words, Source is there for everyone at all times. We are always there.
And so when you are aware of the presence of Source and when you are not
offering a vibration that prevents you from your alignment with Source, then you
have those wonderful moments. And you can do that all the time. And people
refer to those who are doing that as masters. But all of you can do that. It is the
mastery of focus. That’s what it is.
