a creative daemon

#12665929 - 06/01/10 01:01 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

I watched a TED video about this the other day (if you want to see it, bottom of the post).

do you think you have one?

You can call it a genius if that works better.

Either way, what i'm talking about is that strange creative inspiration that comes and goes at various times (some not so convenient). It's not exactly "you," but it's not wholly outside of you, either. I have one of these things. Sometimes it stays with me for days, or just a few hours, and sometimes it leaves me alone for a month or longer.

When it's around, I feel somewhat possessed by whatever I'm creating (and if I'm not creating, I feel strange and unsettled). Maybe the "possessed" feeling hits me because over time I've learned that I had better pay attention to a creative mood while it lasts, in case it goes away before I did anything about it. Hard to say. I never really have plans to make art, it just kinda flows out of me when my daemon/genius shows up at a good time.

this may be a fairly occult way of describing creativity, but it's true enough in my experience.

I would call it chaneling(mediumship), and it is occult (some could call it that way).. maybe you should visit S&M forum sometimes :smile:

and btw TED are doing some fine job, I watched some presentations and the whole idea of TED is just great.
