Ah, I fell for it!
Well, I'll give you one. You're a subtle player.
Thank you!

Like you already said, you can't make an omellete without breaking a few eggs. Ideas and inspirations are great, but if you don't have the will to see them though they will probably come to nothing. How can any idea be judged as good or bad unless you've tried it out?Sure, but is that automatically a bad thing in the long run or under all circumstances?

One of the messages I get from the 7 of Disks is that inspiration is all well and good, but on the plane of Disks you are going to need more than inspiration to actually get things done.
Of course it does. But that might mean that the original idea was not as inspired as it first appeared. You reap what you sow. Netzach may be where we seek inspiration, but it's not the source of inspiration. That Venus is higher up the Tree.Abandoning a project after concious consideration of cost/benefit is of course more pleasant, but sometimes "nature" corrects us when we are not smart enough to choose it ourselves. Does that make sense to you?

And as you've already said, nature corrects.Ok...you lost me now!
Netzach is not the source of inspiration...which is WHY nurturing everything that comes out of there is not a good idea. Because as you say, things we find there might not have been as inspired as it first appeared.
How do find out if an egg is rotten? Just make a guess and throw it away? Or break it and find out? Of course if you want to carry on and make an omelette with it anyway, nature will correct you in a rather unpleasant, but colourful way. Whether you actually learn from it is another matter altogether.If you don't get rid of the rotten eggs in 7, no amount of hard work or patient incubation in 8 is going to stop you from getting one stinky omelette in 9...Failure to the rescue!

But if the egg is good, will it turn itself into an omelette all by itself? Of course not. Likewise, no inspiration, true or otherwise, will manifest anything without effort on the Plane of Disks.
Agreed. Although I think the hand of HGA is always there, we just don't take it sometimes. Instead of the True Will we often end up chasing phantoms. It's a bit like the image on the RWS 7 of Cups. The trouble is that until K&C is achieved you only have intuition as a guide, and that can easily be over-ridden by personal desires and petty wants.Yup, without the "divine guidance of the HGA", holding our hands along the straight path, trial-and-error is the only way forward.

The True Will in the context of the 7 of Disks is a good example of true inspiration needing effort. It may be a person's True Will to do or be something, but without effort it will still come nothing.
