Personality of this way...
Those born during the Way of Inspiration use their naturally expressive energies to give rise to a unique form of creativity. They are gifted with a facility of mind that manifests itself in a quick wit, the enjoyment of language, and technical proficiency. It is their task to put these skills to some extraordinary and productive use, to put their ideas into action so that they may contribute something original to the world. They must learn to hear their inner voice of inspiration, their intuition, and to act upon it. When it speaks to them, they know it in their hearts, and it is for this that they truly live. Feeling spirit moving through them, they become their most authentic and are best able to ignore their ego’s demands.
To accomplish this rather lofty aim, they must learn how to become a channel for ideas or creativity that is greater than themselves. This level of inspiration comes from only one place: they must learn how to communicate directly with the divine. Ultimately, they will never feel fully satisfied or happy until they find a way to do so. Gifted as they are, they may churn out all that they know over and over again, doing everything the same old way. However, it is their fate to express new or possibly untried approaches, whether in the arts, politics, education, or even simple everyday tasks; for example, when fixing the plumbing or mending an article of clothing. A truly inspired thought is the one never before experienced.
The trouble is that they tend to be very restless, hardly able to contain themselves, much less sit still. They have a tremendous need for physical activity. For these folks there appears to be a direct correlation between satisfying their need for physicality and staying quiet long enough for their minds or hearts to be filled with creative information. If they are ever to open themselves to inspiration, they must learn to center and ground themselves—that is, to be quiet. Whatever their inspirational process may be—whether meditation, prayer, walking in nature, or simply quiet contemplation before embarking on a project—it is important for them to find one. Sometimes this may require setting up routines or set times for exercise programs such as jogging, swimming, yoga, or tai chi to help them stay centered or when they need to break through their creative blocks or barriers.
Given that they have a tendency to bore easily and never stick to anything, a danger exists that they may be content merely to copy others or otherwise be derivative in their thinking. Brilliant at imitation, they may take this route rather than digging to find or express true originality. Though it can be argued that much of the creative process lies in derivation, should they engage in their talent for imitation only to produce a derivative end result, they will suffer from it as their inner voice will always whisper the truth. A pitfall here is the innate confidence that they have in their ability to express themselves in writing, speech, or body movement. Because of this facility, they may opt for the path of least resistance and be satisfied with their most superficial efforts—which, it should be noted, usually impress others—or spend more time talking about what they could do with some of their more inspired ideas rather than actually putting them to some productive use. A good strategy could be initiating a project using ideas from other sources and then formulating a new way to use them, look at them, or present them so that imitation becomes the springboard for a unique contribution in a field or creative endeavor.
Unfortunately, because they have such a strong need for recognition, these individuals may revel in their more obvious talents and not really push their striking originality to its outer limits out of fear of rejection. Their greatest fear is that their unusual personalities will be unpalatable to others or will be written off as peculiar. Thus, they often wrap their true feelings inside elaborate deceptions that frequently involve not telling the truth or stretching it beyond acceptable limits. Their attempts to craft the way others view them are based in a deep-seated sense of chronically being misunderstood or unfairly criticized. In this way, their talent for dissembling can work against their gaining greater artistic rewards. Taking gambles and daring to fail are vital if these individuals are to reach the peak of their creative expression. They face the task of learning to trust their inner genius enough to present themselves to the world as they are.
Career and romance are the two main areas in which their life challenges are likely to play out. In both areas, they can be tremendously inspirational to others, colleagues and lovers alike—even though at work, due to their confidence and love of freedom, they may have great difficulty dealing with powerful individuals whom they perceive as wanting to make decisions for them or control them.
To be successful, they must learn about compromise and cooperation. Rejection is extremely difficult for them to handle, as are most forms of criticism. Both of these facts indicate that their self-confidence may not run as deep as they think it does. When they are able to let bouts of envy and other negativity slip away without provoking a reaction, they will know they have come a bit further in their journey.
A curious blend of introvert and extrovert, they often lead an incredibly private personal life while at the same time shamelessly flaunting their ideas, talents, clothes, or good looks before the world. Not surprisingly, others often do not see them as they really are. Many view them as wholly unique characters, entertaining and lively if not complete originals. As gregarious as they appear to be, they may possess a dark, moody side, one that is readily apparent to the friends, family, and lovers who successfully penetrate their shield. They have tumultuous personalities, and their feelings cry out for expression. One challenge is to learn to control their very short emotional fuse and tendency to explode in anger. Should their energies be frittered away in egotistic and indulgent displays of emotion, they will lose a marvelous opportunity for insight and self-discovery.
Socially, they frequently make a strict separation between their public and personal life. Such a split is not objectionable in itself, but it may be prompted by fear or shame, a desire to hide a secret life, or an inability to make a connection between personal and social matters. Not infrequently, they attract and are attracted to troubled individuals, who may be projections of the emotional elements of their own internal struggle. Passionate feelings are no stranger to them, and by grappling with the problems of their stormy lovers, they frequently become sidetracked from their creative endeavors.
Although inspiring to others and inspired by them in turn, they must learn that what is best for them is a steady dose of self-inspiration. The process of looking inward for such a source—and ultimately finding it—is their real reward. Neither rejection nor recognition is sufficient to give meaning to their life, since they come from outside and not from a living, vital source within. Feeling peculiar, misunderstood, irresponsible, or disorganized may be the product of old scripts that have been playing since childhood. Rooting out this negativity, much like weeding a garden, is essential to their health. Flatterers, hangerson and admirers are the worse kind of companions for them.
Much like Hans Christian Andersen’s ugly duckling, what those born during the Way of Inspiration really need is to find an accurate selfimage. As long as they rely on the observations and values of others, they are likely to flounder. However, by unlocking their internal mystery, freeing themselves in peace and quiet to hear the call of their spirit, and finding out who they really are, they will succeed in allowing their creativity to be fully, rather than only partially, expressed. Paradoxically, when they finally forget about trying to achieve popularity and success and begin to look within, it is precisely at this time that they begin to truly inspire others to admire them. But by then it’s too late, and their unique creative achievement is all they really need.
