Creativity 'tuning' into psychic knowledge

[faerie_boy_charli]

I've talked to a couple creative people, writers, and they have said that they have noticed that when they made up characters or names or places, soon they'd find out they were real names or places. I've done this TONS of times. Names that I thought were unique as hell. Stevie Nicks once said that she wrote 'Edge of Seventeen' before knowing what a white-winged dove was. Has anyone else done this?

This is exactly correct.

Creativity is the means through which we tune into both psychic ability and the universal conscious mind.

Because we are individuals, our perception of the truth is different from person to person to a small degree - meaning, we have creative license to interpret how the universe is communicating with us. Some people tell the universal truth through creating characters and symbols, some people claim to be channelers and create identities to better understand the communications of the universe. The problem is, a lot of times those communications can become distorted through creativity, if the ego of the receiver is more in control than the spirit.

Thank you, that's very helpful!

Only during my sleep! From 1993 onwards I’ve dreamed about names and words that I’ve never heard about before…So quite a few years before I owned a computer with inter-net access I was unawares that names like Nefertini or Elias Koteas were / are actual names.

Good thing I don't write novels eh! :o :D

This is kind of cheesy but I want to share some experiences I am having with my current screenplay. I feel like I am drawing on the energy of those archetypes that ancient Greeks and Romans worshiped as Gods. The story basically involves these Gods being incarnated into modern human bodies in a world where Zeus, Neptune and Pluto have lived for 6000 years. Blah blah blah, that's not the point.

When I was first starting to write this, I began to dream about some of these gods randomly, in particular the goddess Venus. When I would procrastinate, I would have a dream about her. In one dream, I had it during a period where I was "in a rut" creatively. Right at the start of this project. I had a huge dream involving superheroes and things like that, and in the middle of the dream I was on a plane with the goddess Venus. We were going somewhere and she was holding a knife to my side. She was very pissed off. I remember when I woke up, I thought "She's mad at me for procrastinating!" Knowing the character of Venus I also figured she is vain enough to want to star in as many stories as she can. Haha :D

I've also had one weird dream about Eros, although he was not the same as he is in my story (Venus definitely was exactly the same). I also wake up from dreams a lot thinking of Apollo, but I can't remember any dreams I've had with him in them.

When I wake up, especially in the early morning, if I pay attention to my thoughts I am COMPLETELY inside my own creative mind, and I am thinking about stuff like this in such bizarre ways... I wish I could explain what I'm talking about, but it fades out of my mind pretty quickly when I come back into consciousness. It's almost like I'm listening to a radio in my head.

this is a clear example of the group consciousness or 100th monkey type system
