I love the idea of Inquiry. It says in the book that "Intuition may be nothing more than the first thing that comes to mind." But it is important to look at this through the lens of Inquiry. Everything in the creative process is a balance and a rhythm. I believe we have the best ideas within us but it is the over-processing thoughts that creatively "stop us up" and we just need to learn to let go. Im my own experience my greatest ideas just came to me and then were expanded upon from there.
Just as similar in the reading from "what is is" I believe that the over-processing comes from the fear of failure or the reputation to hold up as an artist. We tend to define ourselves by what we create and peoples reaction to it. This is very natural. We have a desire to be evaluated and thought highly of amongst our peers. If we do not get past this, we may stay in mediocracy for the rest of our lives.
