The Gospel According to Blind By: 16 Short Stories

Flow is an intense feeling of concentration, it's almost otherworldly. When you achieve flow the deep wells of your unconscious channel themselves in a very streamlined and focused way. The enemy of creativity tends to be that cognitive, critical voice in your head that tells you whether something is good or bad. If you're doing something and your ego pops up and says, Jesus, this is class or this is shit, that gets in the way of decent creativity.

That's where real kind of transcendent imagination comes from.
