Try to use your consciousness to create a "new" thought without using the inspiration from ALL that already exists. You can't, because we cannot create; we can only transmute out of ALL that already exists.

Isn't this what Plato is trying to explain in his Allegory of the Cave? That MOST people will simply be told what things are, and use those tellings to understand the world, whereas the person who has freed himself from the cave can see things for what they truly are because rather than use the symbol/meaning given to you by another man (the ones casting shadows on the wall), you obtain your own symbol and meaning, which is a memory that is attached directly in a divine way between your brain and nature (without the middleman / programmed symbols and meaning). You derive the symbol and meaning directly from nature itself, not from a consensus of what other people think it means.

Or it's similar to what Mother Teresa said about us having two sources of water to pull from. One is by way of a waterworks system, a series of pipes and things feeding into our brain through our senses and what other people tell us. There is another source of water that springs from within.

Take for example all of the monsters and angels and demons imagined by people throughout history. They didn't need to "pull" these from any prior art. These were pulled from the "ALL" because the ALL is truly everything. Mind, thought, imagination, creation has no bounds. It is our act of imposing symbols and meaning which creates bounds. Undo the symbols, and once again it has no bounds. A magic spell can trap a genie, just as what the starry night spells to us, traps our soul in the body. Words are a suit we wear to give us the shape of what we think of is "human", take off the suit and see what you really are.
