- Inspiration pressure — the urge to understand and find meaning
A steady source of inspiration. Your questions are born of your own pressure.
When defined
The Head is defined — you live with a constant pressure to understand and to find meaning. This is your own stream of questions and inspiration, and it cannot be switched off. You inspire others because you carry topics and questions. The healthy expression is to ask your own questions and not to pick up the ones that don't belong to you. Under conditioning, you get stuck on a single topic for too long.
When open
The Head is open — there is no constant pressure of inspiration; you pick it up from outside. When an inspiring person is nearby, you light up with their theme. This brings a great capacity to see what inspires others and which questions are worth solving and which are not. Wisdom lies in letting go of the questions that don't belong to your life.
Not-Self & Wisdom
Not-Self: Solving other people's unimportant questions as if they were your own, turning them into a life-or-death drama.
Wisdom: Discerning whose inspiration you picked up — and whether it is worth pursuing.
