A bit late - just caught the new link… I’m particularly interested in ‘inspiration’ and agree that it can be willed - but I’d like to ask if you perceive a difference between ‘conscious’ inspiration and ‘unconscious’ inspiration? To put in context I’m a writer researcher looking at a spiritual practice as a facilitator or source of inspiration. And if you do receive inspiration from somewhere ‘other’ is it different in any way? Thank you - I do play the harp and was involved in some of your early spirals but writing is my main avenue of creativity just now. Lynn.

Thank you Diana - I’m really excited by what you say and will revisit your book (which was partly responsible for how I’ve been able to cultivate this journey to a doctorate). I’m particularly struck by your use of the word ‘download’ as this is the word I have used to explain the difference for me between conscious and unconscious inspiration to my supervisor - the ‘other’ source for me arrives fully formed. Thanks again - you definitely are inspirational…
