Tapping into the Stream of Consciousness
I awoke this morning thinking about Albert Payson Terhune.
I often imagine tapping into the Creative Intuitive Stream as I write — that stream he had tapped so well. I’d imagine what it must have been like to live and write at Sunnybank… a beautiful home with a large veranda, a gazebo overlooking Pompton Lake – collies running in the yard. Just lovely –and a writer’s dream home.
But in addition to this ideal setting – what was it about Terhune that helped him create so many wonderful books? Whether consciously or not – he was tapping into a Stream of creative consciousness.

The Law of Attraction seems to be an over-used term.
But it is affecting us and it is working with us all the time – whether we believe or or not; whether we are aware of it or not.
In it’s simplicity – we are told to “get happy” – to feel good in order to vibrate with our higher good and circumstances.
Esther Hicks has in the past used the analogy of going with the stream – dropping the oars of resistance and going with the flow.
I like that analogy – but I also like her teaching of the Vortex.
Ray Bradbury’s Illustrated Man lit a creative spark within me.
It’s been many years now, but I can still remember the moment… standing in the library of my high school and seeing the book’s cover “The Illustrated Man” by Ray Bradbury.

The cover intrigued me. But the writing fascinated me as the book’s narrator meets the Illustrated Man– his entire body a living canvas of exotic and magical tattoos.
I was intrigued. I picked the book for my Creative Writing class assignment and fell in love with the idea that one could write something so magical – so mystical. I was fascinated by not just the book, but by the author. I thought “what a lucky man” to be able to be so creative and published.
Julia Cameron is one of my absolute favorite writing / spiritual teachers.
In the Artist’s Way Cameron instructs how to break free of mind-babble with a ritual – tool she calls the Morning Pages.
Simply start your day writing three 8 1/2″ x 11″ pages of whatever is on your mind. This can be a release of your inner critique “What are you wasting your time doing this for?”, or a dialogue about upcoming events “I have to go to the bank today” or your inner thoughts “last night I had the strangest dream about…” or “I don’t feel like writing this today”.
Eckart Tolle tapped deeply into the well of intuitive writing when he penned The Power of Now.
During an interview with Oprah, Tolle said:
I had the same strong sense before writing The Power of Now. That was 13 years ago… I was living in England, and I had this strong impulse one morning, knowing I had to move to the west coast of North America without knowing why.”
