Continual Inspiration

When we think about the Divine and about our own true nature, at times we may be blessed with the gift of inspiration.
It is something that comes unbidden, sometimes when we least expect it, suddenly we feel as though we understand something that was foreign to us before. That's what I mean when I use the word inspiration in this context. A feeling of intellectual or spiritual upliftment that accompanies understanding.

I believe this feeling comes from a Divine source, however I've always been a bit confused by something. I've found through my own musings and writings that at times, inspiration does not bring one the truth. At times, inspiration can be contradictory or even just plain wrong. What do I mean?

Historically we see that individuals can and do have multiple trains of thoughts. There are many beliefs and interpretations of beliefs. Some of these state different perspectives than others, even if they are from the same source. Why would this be? Why would we receive inspiration from a Divine source, yet have it not bring us the truth?

Sometimes, the truth is not exact. Sometimes the truth is like a bullseye that we aim towards and sometimes the truth is more nebulous. I believe that inspiration serves as a key to help us approximate the truth, particularly those truths that are particularly nebulous and difficult to grasp. One can spend lifetimes, ages, millennia, eons studying God, yet never truly understand what the Divine is. However, moments of inspiration serve to slowly draw us towards the center.

Through inspiring us to understand, or at least believe we understand some small nugget of the truth, God slowly brings us closer to Him. What does it matter if our moment winds up being superseded by another moment of inspiration that is yet closer to the truth? All that truly matters is the search for and movement towards the center of all things.

This serves as the gravity that draws us inexorably inwards - towards a timeless existence and towards our ultimate goal.
