I love this statement! "Inspiration is nto a prerequisite for intiating a work of art. It is her destination. Arriving at an inspired state marks the final, culminating stage of this prolonged creative process." I used to feel liek this. Sometimes I still do. I would always have trouble finding that inspiration for certain projects or every project for that matter. I would wait patiently and nervously for that moment of clarity. I too would journey into deep imagination during the creative process. I still do this. I day dream. Think quietly. Think outloud. Build and create, reitterate, remove, destory, breakdown everything in my head before I get it right...before I feel it is perfect. My imagination can be a fearsome place. My creativity can be the same. They are one in the same. Her ideas come from the reptillian brain. She states that thoughts summoned from that area of the brain are out of her control. I don't believe this. I believe at some point you still have control. I think you always have control. I think there is a choice to be made on whether or not you are going to let go. So is she not in control by her choice or by natural law?
How are fantasy and imagination a product of the bodily organs? My appendix doesn't make me dream. I will agree however that human behaivor is often driven by motives that are ego-centered. I react this way alot. I grew up an only child. I had no one to compete with. I was it. I received all of my parents attention. So I got used to receiving all of the attention from everyone all of the time. It has been a real struggle to stop myself from trying to receive all of the attention from anyone. I still catch myself doing this at times...trying to be the center of attention. It does hinder me at times. It states that Harrison counters her narcissim by re-imagining and re-animating her animal soul. So does she ever sucumb to the narcissim? Or does she always rely on her animal soul.
