Idea Machine

Within you exists an Idea Machine. This Idea Machine runs 24/7. It produces ideas when you are both awake and asleep. It’s always there. It’s running constantly, whether you are aware of it or not.

Lots of things get in the way of finding your own Idea Machine. Digital noise, torrid relationships, emotional scars, fear, greed, ego and desire all block you from becoming aware of your Idea Machine. But your Idea Machine continues churning out ideas in wakefulness and during sleep. It never stops, unless you are sick or depressed.

In the beginning before you find your Idea Machine, you might get a sense of it when you have a strange dream that refuses to leave your mind. You also might hear a soft whisper sometimes, a whisper from an idea that escaped from your Idea Machine.

When a lone idea has escaped from your Idea Machine and whispers in your ear, you must listen to it, and block out all distractions. You must give that idea some wings, feed it, for it has traveled a long way to find you.

Once you become fully aware of your own Idea Machine, it almost drives you mad.
