What's pretentious is thinking that everything you write comes from your conscious mind. Call it being vs Being, the self vs the Self, egoism vs God conscious, or inspiration vs the mundane, I don't really care, but if you have read any philosophy from the last 3000 years or so, that is primarily what has been debated (except for Kant of course, who killed the muse, and then the modernist who killed it again, and then the post modernist who killed everything else because they don't want anyone to be better than anyone else). And no, I don't go into a trance and channel the muse. I am very conscious of when and what I am writing, but it is also true that I am not purposefully thinking up stuff to write about like an argument paper.
Like I said many times before you can call it what you want, but little pee-brains can only take pot shots at the word "muse" (humor excluded). If it was good enough for the Greeks, it's good enough for me (and should be for Billy since he likes taking it up the ass so much). Blake called it the "Imagination" a wellspring much larger than ourselves. But I understand. If you have no soul, the idea of muse would seem very foreign and other-worldly...like science fiction.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
