I'd like to see more posts... and more people join us.
Below is a copy of conversation from Philosophy of the Conscious/Subconscious tribe where I posted hoping to get people to join us here at Epiphany:
********
"I would gladly direct you to any one of my epiphanies, if only you could be a little more specific about what you'd like to see in here... (Trust me, you don't want me to start on one of my uber-long posts! ;) "
Actually I do, believe it or not. I have been purposefully vague in the description to allow people to share whatever they want... the only requirement being that it be a sudden "HOLY SHIT I JUST REALIZED..." type moment. It can be stupid or serious... It should be one of those spur of the moment ideas that maybe doesn't make sense, but it is the moment of "AHA!" that I'd like to capture. People don't always share them for fear of being judged, but exactly why I want a forum for that... While studying creativity and how to harness it, I've found that maybe we throw out 100 "Aha's" for every 1 good idea, but why not share them with people... Maybe we'll find unexpected support for a crazy harebrained scheme or get encouragement to pursue some weird idea for a book or art project...
Thanks for the input though, I will be rethinking how to describe what should be posted there... We'll see. But you should join us. Sounds like you could help break the ice.
P.S.: The reason I posted a thread on this forum, is because I believe that epiphany is an example of the unconscious manifesting itself in the conscious. Something that transcends into our conscious minds... The wacky thought you have right as you wake from a dream.

Re: More Please!
Sun, August 22, 2004 - 3:31 AMI would really like peoples' thoughts on this, and why or why not you feel like sharing epiphanies is helpful to you or others. Is it hard to open up to strangers? Is it difficult to share new ideas, for fear of rejection, or negative feedback?
I'm more interested in the process of thinking creativity, than the result... if that helps clarify.

I meant "thinking creatively" not "thinking creativity."
(Where's the freakin' EDIT button????)
