Divine inspiration

Divine inspiration is the concept of a supernatural force, typically a deity, causing a person or people to experience a creative desire. It has been a commonly reported aspect of many religions, for thousands of years. Divine inspiration is often closely tied to the concept of revelation, the belief in information being revealed or disclosed through communication with a deity or other supernatural entity or entities.

Besides ancient mythology, the religious texts of traditions including Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Mormonism, and the Bahá'í Faith are all claimed to be divinely inspired to some degree.

The Jehovah's Witnesses have at times disclaimed divine inspiration with respect to their doctrine. although at other times they propose that "divine guidance" is provided to individuals.

Divine inspiration was described by Socrates as a form of madness (although not necessarily a bad form), and was a recurrent theme in the writings of Plato.
