Daimonic
“The idea of the daimonic, though sometimes equated with the fiendish and “demonic” is more often used to indicate inspiration and motivation by a spiritual force or genius. As a psychological term, it has come to represent an elemental force which contains an irrepresible urge not only to survive but to thrive. It can also mean (as a literary term) the unrest that exists in us all which forces us into the unknown, leading to self-destruction and/or self-discovery, or can also mean the journey and transition from innocence to experience itself.”
