Unstifling Your Creative Intuitive Side – Free Your Mind

“I am so out of it. I don’t know what it is – I feel like I’m slurring or I just can’t talk properly. I can’t socialise now. I feel retarded.”

“Oh man – I know that feeling. I get it at work some times after saying the same pitch thirty times. I’m not sure if I’m saying words or just talking nonsense. You’re inside your head, being too analytical.”

“How do I snap out of it? I’m trying to think what put me into this state. How did I get like this?”

“Doesn’t matter.”

“No, but if I remember how I got like this, I can figure out how to get back into a good state.”

“It doesn’t work like that. You can’t dig your way out of a hole. You can’t think your way out of being analytical. What you need to do is be present now, enjoy the moment, and have fun.”

“I guess so. But how does that work? Why would my voice be retarded like that?”

“Not sure really. Though I can tell you this. The brain has two sides, logical and emotional. With girls, their brains have a much bigger link between the left and right side. They can be anything at any time. Infinite potential, really chaotic.

“With guys, there’s a small link between the left and right side, so you can only think with one side at once. You’re either logical, or you’re emotional. Unless you’re really on. Being in front of a computer for six hours doing search engine optimisation puts you in a really logical state.”

“Right. So what do I do about it?”

I slammed the table. “One thing you can do is slam the table, get rowdy, start talking louder.

“In Awaken the Giant Within, Tony Robbins calls it changing your physiology to change your state. Your body and mind are linked. If you start standing like a champion, you’ll start to feel like one.

“In The Witch of Portobello, Paulo Coelho’s character calls it ‘be different’. Athena encourages her disciples to listen to the music and dance against the rhythm. That sends them into a trance. They forget who they think they are, and get to the core of who they are. They stop analysing, and start experiencing.

“It’s also like how in The Way of the Superior Man, David Deida says that a woman will come to you with a problem, and she’s really emotional.  You try to get to the bottom of the problem by rationalising.  You think by asking her a bunch of logical questions, you can get to the root of the problem, and fix it.  She just gets more worked up about it.  What she really needs is for you to hug her, or tickle her.  She wants you to be a man and change her state for her.  And that’s what you need to do for yourself.”

“So… you’re saying I should hug and tickle myself.”

“That’d be a good start. The main point is, you need to change your state by any means but logical.  You need to be illogical.  One thing we would do in drama was to walk around the room and name things.  It’s from Johnstone’s Impro. Every thing that catches your eye, you look at and call it what it’s not.  If you see a lamp, you call it a ‘dildo’.  If you see a door, you call it ‘Filius De Canis’.  If you see a man, you call it a ‘gratificanzo’.  It forces you to see things as they are, not what you think they are.

“Be anything but logical, and free your mind from the prison it has created.”
