V.   Sacraments

Inspiration is the fourth of the seven (7) Key Sacraments also known as the Keys of Heaven. The Sacrament of Inspiration is the Key that unlocks the Living Virtue of Enthusiasm. It is present in all fourteen of the Cardinal Sacraments and specifically in the most sacred Apostolic Life Sacrament of Genius. The Sacrament of Inspiration may also be granted and conferred on its own in accordance with these Canons and associated approved liturgy.

The purpose of the sublime sacrament of Inspiration is the formal recognition of the bestowal and entrusting of Divine Inspiration and Influence to one or more persons dedicated to communicating truth and virtue through their actions. The meaning of Inspiration is derived from the Latin word inspiro meaning “to breathe, blow on”.

The sacrament of Inspiration comprises the completion of three separate and deliberate Acts in order: Act One being the Act of Imagination, Act Two being the Act of Creation and Act Three being the Act of Possession:

(i) The Act of Imagination as Act One is the inspiration to conceive some element, form; and

(ii) The Act of Creation as Act Two is the conversion of the imagination of some element or form into some more meaningful and complete idea; and

(iii) The Act of Possession as Act Three is the fulfilment of the creation and its possession in the temporal realm .
