Disorganized Inspirations
What is that causes inspiration to burn with great internal fire, then to a slow inferno cease, barely pep in its step, but it holds on without attaching to anything?

Dear Jessica ,
Mostly the problem is that a person gets an idea , intuition or an inspiration which is quiye good , but if you carefully observe the disorganization comes from ourselves - this has to be guarded with great vigilance if we are to put the particular inspiration or idea or intuition into a practical thing . The problem is not this first thought but immediately what happens is we resort to the faculty of dreaming , and fantasize without ant proper inquiry into the first thought , because fantasy kills all the inherent good in anything . The faculty of fantasy is used quickly in the people who are more idealistically inclined , and it subverts the good thoughts and , in many cases in rational human beings who consider themselves very structured also fall unknowingly into the ideanation that is from the fantastic part of our consciousness and thus tricks them also very subtly . They believe that they are "thinking" but are actually fantasizing , every thing in which a connection is found between two thing either ostensibly connected or not connected and giving an apparent sense of comfort of having gained to insight may on many cases found to be a case of connection through fantasy . How things are connected or related have to be carefully checked reference being had to the train of thought and sequence it follows. A little practice goes along way and also opens up the faculty of imagination to its fullest extent as it will not be vitiated and constrained by the objects or idea of knowledge that are mundane and physical . This leads to a better comprehension and evocation of things that are sublime . Often we are so careless of these aspects of fantasy , and it also is so insidious that it can connect any two facts to the satisfaction of the loose thinker and mislead him , into thinking he has gained insight - it in a way "mimics" or "apes" scientific thinking . These are lesser known aspects of how consciousness works within us . Which is why it is called the faculty of all faculties by the ancients . In essence "thinking" on something is different from "fantasizing" on it and "Ideanation" and "conceptualization" are also different but since it happens in the broad consciousness of Dream within a person , we by loose ways manage to mix up all within this faculty or consciousness . All four are aspects of thought which are very different and the consciousness (knowledge) is different and not mixed or "mimed".

Actually, I think this is one of those (classic) Sphinx riddles.
(on a site like this, it is a good trick to see what people will say. I think I've "Outed" Jessica's post !!!! <G>)

The Riddle of the Sphinx
In Greek mythology, the Sphinx sat outside of Thebes and asked this riddle of all travelers who passed by. If the traveler failed to solve the riddle, then the Sphinx killed him/her. And if the traveler answered the riddle correctly, then the Sphinx would destroy herself. The riddle:
What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?
Oedipus solved the riddle, and the Sphinx destroyed herself.

'Human' (άνθρωπος vs ανθρώπου) was the original answer....
There are two sisters, one gives birth to the other and she in turn, gives birth to the first. Who are the sisters?

Actually - I'll hazard the following:

Originally, I began this discussion to get feedback. Lately have been experiencing issues on certain projects that I would like to share, but it seems like there is an invisible force field that blocks my way from getting the passion in action.
What is throwing road blocks in my way from achieving the approach I need to get the ball rolling on these projects?

One or two examples would help. The mind-blocks are nearly innumerable if one has to guess. So, explaining what the question really is would be nice.

ps - I am suggesting that the post has multiple viewpoints, but no reference what the view is about/of.

Here is an example that may have no relation to the projects that I find myself tangled into.
For instance, here in USA we have institutions that are interconnected into our government systems that are not recognized by the Constitution of USA, but has a power over the people of USA, which this power is a violation to the peoples human rights under the Constitution. Lets say...
If someone was to go after these faculties without knowing the laws from when these institutions was established to the current time of today, that person will fail from being disorganize with ground breaking facts. Those persons who attempt to challenge these institutions may lose their inspiration from lack of knowledge or from lack of support from their peers.

"So long as a cause has on its side one soul that is intangible in faith, it cannot perish."
-- Sri Aurobindo
Tillich (famous modern theologian) rewrote the definition of Faith as an overwhelming desire.
He redefined the term in a small book called Faith.in the 1960's, a popular phrase used intead of "good-bye" was the more important statement
"Keep the Faith!"
