Mystical Experience and Inspiration

James' characterization of mystical experience as a type of 'deliverance' implicitly classifies it as an end state, which prevents him from recognizing it as the initiation of a creative process.  Thus, he cannot appreciate, as, e. g., artists can, that that experience can be a moment of inspiration.  Furthermore, since to 'inspire' means to 'breathe into', he cannot entertain the possibility of a kinship between mystical experience and God's Genesis 2 animation of Adam.  Similarly, the traditional theological interpretation of God-human interaction as a supernatural end state, i. e. as 'salvation', obstructs the consideration of such moments as inspirational in the same way that natural mystical experiences are.
