When the self is reduced and so prominent, that's when our ability to connect with other things becomes stronger. I think if you're in a total state of ego dissolution, then the concept of interaction becomes a bit pointless because there's no you anymore at all. So we talk about hallucinations and in a sense, this is a hallucination. It's very hard to pin down what the secret source of creativity is. People can be creative in all sorts of different ways. And most of us will see the world in different ways, but in ways which are still well adapted to what's really out there.
