It begins with a broad base in the physical world, the Preparation stage. This creative inspiration is then converted back into symbols that we verify internally in the Confirmation stage. The creative process cycles through St. Bonaventure's three realms of consciousness, as illustrated in the triangle above. There are various stages, as illustrated on the circumference of the circle. I have adapted Wallas' four-stage model mentioned earlier by expanding the verification stage.
Confirmation is the internal process of verification that uses the eye of reason.
Validation occurs in the external world and is the empirical verification provided by the world around us. Thus in The Cycle of Creative Consciousness, creation takes place as the individual's consciousness rises toward the apex of the triangle and then returns again to the empirical world in the cycle shown circumnavigating the triangle. God's thoughts are given all the power that their own Creator has. For He would add to Love by its extension. In conclusion, I seek to empower you, the reader, with a new view of the creative process.
