What is The Muse?

Is it our creative inspiration, that energy fluttering amidst the ethers of our consciousness, awaiting our trust to bring it to light?

I think the Muse is a beautiful idea; a wondrous source of inspiration and intelligence.

Yet, when an artist expects the Muse to seek them it seems not to. When an artist, be they writer, painter, or other creative, demands the Muse to deliver it does not answer them.

Then there are those moments when the Muse sits near, patiently waiting for a creative conscious to grasp hold of a thought and write upon it. But some thoughts slip through the creative individual’s grasp, to be bounced along to the next willing conscious.

For just as the universe expands infinitely, so too does creative inspiration.

The Muse is abundant throughout the universe.

There is no end to this source of creativity. Creative inspiration and the Muse are plentiful and always provide their gifts to those open to receiving them.

Our challenge is to put aside the busy work, those unnecessary worldly things, and make creativity the priority.

Make your writing a priority over all else!

Until this happens, until the book or novel becomes the author’s primary focus and intention, the book will remain unwritten.

This is a crucial time. A time for the writer, and the artist, to take heed and consciously demand control of the outcome of their inspirations.

The first step a writer must take to control their inspiration and the visiting Muse is to trust. Trust that the ideas and insights are yours. Trust that you have the grace and wisdom to write, to take your inclinations by the hand and lead them to their fullest potential.

This trust then ought to be followed up with divine intention and action.

Action, of course, is the writing down of your ideas with the pure intention of sharing your wisdom for the betterment of others.

Through this service to others, our creative magic is realized.

Celebrate knowing that where you are at right now is where you are meant to be. You are right on time to spread your greatness to the whole world.
