The Myth of Originality

Ideas resurface from the depths or appear out of thin air

It Never Expires

If ideas and creations want to revisit you, let them. Allow them to express themselves. The belief that everything you create must always be unique and different is a myth—a notion you’ve picked up along the way, or perhaps one someone else planted in you. Think of these recurring ideas that resurface from the depths or appear out of thin air as old friends bringing messages—messages they couldn’t share when they first emerged because circumstances didn’t allow them to complete their original work.These ideas are old friends visiting again, seeking to reconnect and spend some intimate time with you. They’re choosing you, hoping you can help them finish their journey so they can move on without needing another ride on the earthly merry-go-round. Sure, things may repeat, but don’t worry about that. Be grateful that this idea, this thought, this old friend has visited you once again. Allow them to express themselves fully. Listen with compassion and love, and be the vehicle that delivers their voice to the world.

Mystical spirits are everywhere. We simply need to see with our ears and hear with our eyes.

There Is No Such Thing as Original

There is no such thing as original. Whatever stories, paintings, ideas, and thoughts come through you, using you as a mechanism to be heard and expressed, simply are. What a privilege it is that the unseen trusts you to help them be seen once again. What an honour it is that they are willing to share the depths of their hearts, emotions, ideas, thoughts, and art with you. Your role is to keep this vehicle—yourself—clean within and without so that when they arrive, you’re free of clutter and ready to host both the unseen and the seen. Because, in truth, there’s no difference. We’re all here together. Sight can be both heard and seen; listening can see and be heard. Allow your senses to live fully. Don’t reduce them to a one-trick pony.
