Bab 92: Inspiration, cultivation, instinct

(What is inspiration if not a sudden moment of epiphany? The understanding of a totality, the junction point of all things. The moment when the missing piece is finally found through a simple attitude, through an opportunity, through a banal or important event.

Finding inspiration means living an experience, it means extending your existence to participate in the dynamics of what we call life. For this reason, cultivators who spend their entire lives in seclusion cannot overcome many of their bottlenecks.

Cultivation is not just about accumulating energy, or the Flux, and consequently increasing one's own power, the ability to use stronger techniques, to face stronger foes.
