Intuition, artists and writers
200. The faculty of intuition can be released in writers and artists - those who work with the higher feeling and intelligence memories - in moments when their consciousness touches upon recollections of pure love material and thereby an ecstatic state of inspiration is brought about. Thus, when the faculty of intuition breaks out in a writer or an artist, new material for ideas - perhaps for a poem, play, fairytale or other form of artistic manifestation - comes like a lightning flash into the conscious thought world in a form organized and ready-made. Through such inspiration a person will be different from another person not having intuition, mainly on account of the latter person having to build up his material solely by means of the body of intelligence.
