The basic rhythm of life is up, down, forward, back.

This is very simplified. But in reality this is what it is.

As we sit and wonder about something, our attention drifts up. It connects with the universe and looks for something – an inspiration.
Once an idea is located it is caught and brought down to be organised by the intellect.
Next it goes forward into action.
Then we come back to ourselves and ask was this correct? Did this idea accomplish what I wanted?
If yes, it’s a win. If no, it’s go through the cycle again.
