Spontaneous and emotional creativity comes from amygdala. The amygdala is where basic emotions are processed. When the conscious brain and the PFC are at rest, spontaneous ideas and creations can emerge. This is the kind of creativity that great artists and musicians possess. Often these kinds of spontaneous and emotional creative moments are quiet powerful, such as an epiphany, or a religious experience.
”In other words, Takako, meeting you led me to a kind of epiphany.”
“An epiphany . . . That’s amazing.”
“So, that’s what I mean when I say you’re the one who saved me. That’s why I’ll do anything for you.”

Yavuz Sultan Selim Han zahirde hilafetin sultanı, bâtında ise velilerin edepli bir talebesiydi. Devletin en kudretli hükümdarı olmasına rağmen, meşayıh-ı kiramın huzurunda daima tevazu elbisesine bürünür, diz çöküp ellerini bağlar, gönlünü teslim ederdi. Zira onun nazarında siyaset şeriatın hizmetinde; sultanlık ise velayetin gölgesindeydi. Hilafeti devraldığı günlerde, İstanbul'a döner dönmez ilk işi, alimleri ve velileri davet ederek şöyle demek oldu: "Hilafet kılıçla değil, dua ve himmetle taşınır. Benim saltanatım, sizin duanızla ayakta durur."
We can’t and don’t know what others are thinking. We can’t and don’t know what motivations people have for doing the things they do. Ever. Not entirely. This was my terrifying, youthful epiphany.
We just never really know anyone.
I don’t.
Neither do you.
Stephen için en büyük epiphany anı
"Her image had passed into his soul for ever and no word had broken the holy silence of his ecstasy. Her eyes had called him and his soul had leaped at the call. To live, to err, to fall, to triumph, to recreate life out of life!"
“It was time to stop shutting myself up in a cage. It was time to get moving, to look around, and learn what I could from it all. Time to go in search of a place where I belonged, a place where I could say with confidence that I felt right. All the trips I went on, all the books I read, were the consequences of that decision. In other words, Takako, meeting you led me to a kind of epiphany.”
