There are too many people who are unaware or ignore an important aspect of man's psyche. It is an element that sometimes could be termed the god factor. This includes;
1. the desire to be superior to other men.
2.The desire to surpass the standards set by man.
3. The desire to originate something that did not previously existed.
This type of desire to be superior to other men excludes pride. Pride is thinking oneself superior to others while belittling their efforts. This element is the desire to be the best and it can be harbored in the mind or it may naturally manifest itself. It is the self recognition of a person that to be like other men is not good enough for his calling is to be different. Physically he is like other men but in his mind he wants to stand out from other men. Some men remain conscious of a higher being and desires to rise to meet the standards of this higher being. These men do not believe that they are superior to other men but rather sense a calling to live on a higher plain. It is generally accepted that there are higher beings and forces operating in the universe and these men desire to connect with their mind and unite with these higher beings and forces. The concept of these men is not to oppose these higher forces and beings but to corporate in order to be the best.
Reaching and achieving the standards set by man is being mediocre or at best being normal. There still remains the highest possible standards that is believed can be reached by man. Then there is going beyond what is deemed to be possible by man. One thing that should be remembered is that it is necessary to man's psyche that a higher being exists so that he aspire to rise and meet the standards and expectations of this higher being. In recent times man's mind has been messed up because he has abandoned God/the gods and instead substituted man. These substitutes has proven to be worse failures than himself. The greatest feat that is accomplished by one man will be achieved by another man so there is constant competition among men. This shows the difference among believers because those men who reach and surpass the highest expected standards conceived by man are entered into their unique hall of fame.
One of the mysteries of life is what makes some men naturally brilliant and how is it that what one man knows naturally another has to spend years studying in a university. Every man is subjected to inspiration but every man does not act on their inspiration. One proof of man's imaginative capabilities comes alive when he is asleep and dreaming. There are countless inspiration and inventions that originates here because man has no control over the mind at this time. There are countless other things that stir the desire in man to be creative. It does not matter if you believe that man has been around for millions of years or that man is a fairly recent creation because new inventions and creations continues to be the reality. Whichever is your idea of the origin of the universe there is one thing that is sure and it is that the universe did not come complete bit the universe comes with space for new things that did not previously exist to be created.
this week you and I will be inspired and the challenge remain as to what you and I will do with that inspiration.
