I sometimes have periods of inspiration where a creative stream starts flowing. This has been going on for a long time, and only over the past few years I have spent more time capturing this in a visual journal. Sometimes there is so much flowing its hard to capture everything. Details come to me in each inspiration for ideas to do with new technological products I have been desiring to bring into form. Some ideas relate to my hobby of musical valve amplifiers. Which is actually old technology and I have already made some things in that area. I intend to bring the journal ideas, into form. Since I discovered Steve’s Blog and Forum a few weeks ago, I have come to understand the process that has been forming over so many years as no different to Intention Manifestion. Whenever I set an intent or desired outcome, I would get frustrated initially and not much understanding or creativity would be happening. At a later time an inspiration would come and I would see part of the picture. Later I tried to come up with ideas to complete it but little came of it. I got fed up, and it was not until (I now realize) I re visited the intent of what I wanted and released it, that it would later come again in more a complete picture. So the ideas ended up being the manifestation.
I wonder if full time creative artists go through the same process. Perhaps without being conscious of it. In the same way that one does not consciously think of pressing the clutch pedal in a car to change gears after driving becomes second nature.

Why do I do it? As far back as I can remember, I have always had a fascination and the desire to understand how things work. I remember at somewhere around 4 years old; removing the dashboard out of dads car to see what would happen if I cut the wires and shorted them together. It got smokey in the car and it was a mess. My fascination and questioning has led me through an evolving journey. It’s like an inner drive I have been following, which has led me to this point. That drive has helped manifest things in the journey.
I feel alive and joyful after inspiration and being in the creativity flow. I sometimes feel motived by the experience. Excitement comes out of having EVERY SINGLE DESIRE OR INTENT manifest in those inspirational moments.
