Magical obsession is that state when the mind is illuminated by subconscious activity
evoked voluntarily by formula at our own time, etc., for inspiration. It is the condition of genius.
ALL geniuses have active subconsciousness, and the less we are aware of the fact, the
greater our accomplishments. The subconsciousness is exploited by desire reaching it.
So consciousness should not contain the "great" desire once the ego has wished: and
should be filled with an affected ambition for something different, not vice-versa,
the inevitable penalty of cowardice lurking somewhere: surely not an inglorious deceit? Genius, like heroism, is a matter of bravery -- you have to forget fear, or incapacity somehow....hence its expression is always spontaneous. How simple for me to acquire genius -- you know the means; who will take the plunge? The learning of "How"
is the eternal "Why" -- unanswered!!!!! A genius is such, because he does not know how or why.
It's funny how the brain moves when given room to breathe............................
