Let the Holy Spirit Lead You to that "Aha!" Moment

"It doesn't seem so much a question of whether or not God is still speaking as it is whether or not we are listening." (Susan Rohrer)

Where do you get your inspiration?  Who or what guides you on your road to success?  I believe it's the Holy Spirit or what non-believers call the Superconsious mind.  Brian Tracy, author of Goals: How to Get Everything You Want -- Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible, says that when you access your Superconscious:

• you receive an answer to your problem
• it's like a blinding flash of light
• it's an "Aha!" moment

To be inspired literally means to be "breathed into".  I believe that the Holy Spirit can "breathe into" you.  He can give you the idea that you have been searching for.  He can help you write that book, paint that painting or compose that song.  He can help you overcome that obstacle.  How do you get filled with the Holy Spirit -- by faith and faith alone (https://www.cru.org/train-and-grow/transferable-concepts/be-filled-with-the-holy-spirit.7.html).

My brother Bill used to have a karate instructor who asked all of his students to throw all of their problems in a basket as they entered the front door of the karate studio.  He knew that way, they would be able to focus on the task at hand.  "Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10)  In order to receive the Holy Spirit, you need to be calm and relaxed and clear minded. Give your problems over to God. Surrender to Him.  Be patient. You will experience that "Aha!" moment.

The Superconscious Mind

Henry Ford conceived an idea.  The engineers at the Edison Illuminating Company, where he was employed, however, said it would never work.  Henry told them "Just do it."  The result was the internal combustion engine.  For more information on the combustion engine, read http://www.nbutterfield.com/Pages/HenryFordfirstengine.aspx.

Where did Ford's idea come from?  The upper recesses of his mind. Sigmund Freud called it the superego, Ralph Waldo Emerson, the oversoul, Alfred Adler, the collective unconscious, Carl Jung, the superconscious, non-scientists, intuition, and Christians, the Christ consciousness or Holy Spirit.

One website says that when an idea hails from the superconscious, it has three attributes:

1.  It answers every aspect of the problem you are seeking a solution for.
2.  It is a "blinding flash of the obvious".
3.  It's like a burst of happiness or excitement, an "Aha!" moment where the "lightbulb" goes on in your mind.

How to you access our superconscious mind?  According to Brian Tracy, you have two options: either immerse your heart and soul into achieving your goal or immerse yourself in a completely different activity and the answer you are looking for will suddenly appear.  To activate the superconscious, you need to be calm, confident and relaxed.  Seek out silence.  Thomas Edison used to take regular naps throughout the day to stimulate his mind, resulting in over 1000 inventions.

If you want inspiration to achieve your goals, access your superconscious.  Meditate on it, pray on it. The lightbulb will go on.  And you will create the next internal combustion engine (even though your co-workers will say it can't be done).
