Inspiration and its source dimensions

My writing is based on my inspiration. The source of that inspiration is (an) unknown to me. In my view, its source dimension(s) might be related to (my) individual, collective or universal consciousness, which is also known as panpsychism (eg, Britannica, IEP, Stanford, Wiki). My diagram below is my interpretation of the link(s) between inspiration and its source...
