There are along  periodic exchanges that come from the stillness discipline.  It is a matter of huge orgies of discovery and various lengths of times of inactivity because of satiation. There are always chances of surprises.  There’s stuff there, in the stillness, that  you can't get anywhere else.  

My ADVICE is to accept it all, try it all to get you where you want to go, including stating your objectives.  You never know where your inspiration will come from.  Over time, it will become a pattern and show itself.  If you think your mind is busy wait till you get on the other side.  You have to discriminate and accept what you want from the giant flow from things.  One of the teachers said swirling spirits, we are not alone, there are myriads of beings around us all the time.  They are ever so accessible and know how to interface with human.
