Inspiration On Demand

“When I am, as it were, completely myself, entirely alone, and of good cheer-say, traveling in a carriage, or walking after a good meal, or during the night when I cannot sleep-it is on such occasions that my ideas flow best and more abundantly. Whence and how they come, I know not, nor can I force them.” W.A. Mozart.

I guess he would know.

We see that this is mostly consistent with the examination in the previous post but we have a new element introduced here; that of not forcing the ideas.

It’s clear that Mozart knew what frame of mind was conducive to his inspiration and it also seems he knew what situations would create this frame of mind.

The question then is; did Mozart not set a mental intention to write a new work of music prior to his inspiration?

Making his living as a composer it’s hard to believe that such thoughts didn’t cross his mind.

Did he think; ‘I want to write a new symphony,’ and then release this intention by deliberately turning his thoughts elsewhere, trusting that his inspiration would come?

Thus we come to the first lesson of Inspiration On Demand which is that the word demand, in this context in a misnomer.

You ‘demand’ things from Spirit by allowing them.

“…when we’re inspired, it’s because we’re back in-Spirit, fully awake to the Spirit within us. It was in-Spirit that our purpose was laid out, and it’s in-Spirit where our magnificence is absolute and irrefutable.” Dr. Wayne Dyer
