Inspiration – Page 25 – – Asa Rodriguez

The light of your conscience can only be experienced through self-discipline and creativity, such self-discipline to keep your eyes alert and your heart alive and passionate, such creativity to see through your darkest hours with good cheer and vision. You cannot allow yourself to fall into depression and obscurity but you must keep your heart beating and your mind sharp, passionate and strong to see beyond your sorrow, beyond your failed attempts and the hurtful memories. What is the value of a human being if not to find a way to shine in darkness…??

Through Alchemy the ancients transmuted lesser energy of thought into higher energy of thought, a hell into a heaven, misery into joy, weakness into strength, condemnation into salvation; and through self-discipline and creative meditation into oneself one reaches this superior height, and so you have to do the same in your life. Is there anyone else in the entire universe who deserves it more than you do…?? To whom does your life belong…??

You have no truly blissful life if your mind does not carry self-discipline and creativity, because you have struggle and issues coming up, pain and misery coming up, disappointments and confusion coming up, and you cannot avoid this because you cannot avoid yourself; being human is going through all this, flawed and ignorant, it is falling, hurting yourself, being rejected, ignored, mocked, deceived, “heartbroken”–thus self-discipline and creativity are the ways to endure all this and learn its lesson with dignity and with a sincere smile upon your face.

…Learn to welcome the darkness in you, the struggle in life; thanks to this activity of acceptance you can turn on the light in your conscience and experience a greater love/a greater wisdom…

Step out of the cage!

Is inspiration something that bashes you on the head suddenly…?? Is inspiration something which is only reserved for the highly creative…??

Step out of the cage and create inspiration!

If you look at the world through people’s “logic” and beliefs, something is missing in their everyday lives–they make mistake after mistake, they do not take responsibility for their own actions, they seem to ignore what love and truth really are, they hate their jobs, etc… Why is that…?? Is it because they lack inspiration to see and understand even their own lives…??

The artist waits for inspiration to hit him because throughout the ages society and all philosophies have told him that inspiration is a divine magic which comes to him from above, from somewhere he is not. And this ignorant knowledge has gotten out and filled the minds of all of us, so inspiration has become a wealthy trait, something miraculous, something which not everybody can access. Doesn’t seem fair, does it…?? I mean we all have to create in our lives, we all must fix our personal problems, we all struggle to find success in whatever we do, we all need a little inspiration daily, right…??

It is the waiting that which distances people. The waiting is killing us. No. Why would you wait for inspiration when you must look inside you for inspiration, like you must look inside you for love and happiness. Step out of your own mechanical thinking and inspire yourself! Step out of the cage and create inspiration! You must be proactive and creative, because these are traits we all have; and you find them step by step: Write down ideas, think about past memories, connect to how you really feel, begin to work out the simple and easy things, and so on… As an artist, I say that I never wait for inspiration, I am inspiration; so I begin to write something simple, I draw something simple, I see my feelings… and, Voila!: There it is..
