Inspiration
Definition
Inspiration is the Fruition of the Spirit Practice — the moment aspiration crystallizes into direction. Governed by Potential (0), Inspiration is not mere motivation; it is the arrival of purpose through vision. The light that guides after the dark, the star that orients when landmarks fail. Inspiration is trust made visible — hope that has found form.
