Religion & Spirituality
There are some profound differences between inspiration and imitation that determine the level of manifestation we are able to reach. Inspiration begins with curiosity and blooms into epiphany to set us off on a creative journey. What we are inspired to create is infused with our own genius. It evolves from the original blueprint to become something that bears our own unique signature. Imitation tries to be a carbon copy of the original without breathing our own life into it. It is triggered by a scarcity belief that our own creation is unworthy of the same success, and that the only way to survive is to steal a slice of someone's cake. What needs to be understood is that it is the essence not the form that ensouls an offering. When we imitate a form, it feels empty because it is devoid of essence. The essence is our divine spark, a unique facet of the celestial diamond, which cannot be copied.
