It appears that I’ve been doing this inspired writing for ages and that I know what I’m talking about! Don’t be fooled into believing that, because I most certainly don’t. I don’t recall ever being taught anything substantial by a teacher about it either.
I do remember doing a couple of exercises at the Arthur Findlay College where we were given a few minutes to write something inspired, based on a suggested word from the teacher.
In those surroundings of a college classroom, or a weekend workshop with many other people present, I always found it difficult to focus on the spirit connection. I was easily distracted. But I’ve read a fair bit about it and I once read an entire book about a couple that eventually wrote a book transcribed entirely from their spirit. I can’t remember the name of that book though.
One of my early circle leaders recommended I should read Neale Donald Walsch’s Book, ‘Conversations With God’ which I did. I was blown away by it. It took me some adjustment to my beliefs to totally accept it and when I did, I believed the book to be the best I had ever read.
Always being a bit cynical though, when I found out that Neale had written more, I found the concept to be less believable and more about marketing! I just checked how many books are now in that Conversations series and discovered there are 17. Wow, that’s a secure living sorted! I’ve only read the first three of that series.
You can see now how the seeds were sown in my tiny head! If it can be done - I want to have a go! Those thoughts have been propagating in my mind for a long while and it was when I bought my Boox Nova 3 a couple of years ago I started to seriously consider having a go at it myself - but properly like the experts and not just scratch around the edges until I got bored.
It was in February 2022 that I was lay in bed one night with my digital notebook open. I was doodling on a blank page when I felt the urge to write something. Whatever I wrote appeared to not be my own words and that kind of surprised me. It was from that simple event that I came up with a plan to experiment with inspired writing.
Am I happy with the progress after 10 weeks and around 50 sessions? Absolutely yes. I’ve always been aware that I am a slow learner. What would take normal people a few days to learn, often takes me a lot longer. My relationship with the spirit world is good, though that is often determined by someone’s personal faith in the process.
Is there a purpose for this work? Absolutely yes. Having a relationship with the spirit teams working with us far more than connecting for evidence. It’s a lot deeper and more meaningful. Our relationship with the spirit world is a personal choice. Making that relationship stronger will make us better people and greater ambassadors for this work.
I will finish this by suggesting that my spirit team are obviously very patient and tolerant of me. I am hard work to them for sure. I question, doubt, cuss, demand, and get very impatient with them. It’s all I know and they must be ok with that!
