You might have been confused in reading what I wrote ? The great writing is inspirational and creative and comes from super consciousness , when I referred to the unconscious, it was in relation to one of its aspects to do with intuition . I was saying that, IME intuition has to do with an aspect of the unconscious and great writing has to do with a connection with the super consciousness , part of which is considered 'non-local'.
Where do you see the confusion? I said that inspiration and intuition for me come from a lighter place which is completely unlike the deep place that is dark and full of monsters. Again, for me, nothing comes from the deep place. Both inspiration and intuition seem to come from the same place. That is unlike your experience. What someone calls those places and whether he's using Jungian or Freudian terminology is besides the point.
That is a door in, the door to the super conscious is a door out .... and its pretty BIG 'out' there.
I don't really ascribe to the Jungian view or its variations. There are many reasons for that and I'd have to go very off-topic to explain but when I have to choose a non-scientific explanation, between Jung and religion I pick religion.
I believe that all humans have an actual need to create and that, if you're a Bible scholar, the passage of the Bible that says man is created in God's image always struck me as meaning that the need to create was part of that shared image. I used to be a Sunday School teacher many years ago and I've done a lot of studying of the Bible in my younger days. I'm not in that mindset anymore (thankfully) but I still remember a lot, of course.
Most people who don't know better say that they're not creative, but that's not true. Everyone, including even babies, are creative and need an outlet to express that side of themselves.
I absolutely believe that everyone can be creative in some form or another. But it seems that people are trained not to be. There's much buried talent out there, more than we'll ever know. Very sad thing.

Thank you very much, I'll have a look soon.
I'm a believer that divinity is subjective. When people speak of divination, their form could range from magicked scientific by nature.
I personally believe that mankind (and most likely other life) has an innate ability to edit the energy around us to better serve us. We harness running water and electricity. We edit light rays by creating bulbs and even by painting a canvas to reflect the colors we want. We take sound waves and layer them and arrange them in specific ways to be "pretty" or meaningful.
Love of sports or cooking or driving. We constantly alter the energy around us, and I think this is our inherent ability: to find the divine in the mundane, and to make use of it. I believe this is why tarot or crystal healing or reiki, etc., is plausible.
So in my mind, divinity can be scientific and vice versa. The great pool of energy in the universe is bigger than me and can't be put in a box. I won't try to label it, but I acknowledge it exists and I am a part of it. So to me that is divine.
Just my thoughts
I'm a bit confused. Are you talking about the existence of deities or being able to predict the future? Or both at the same time?
