Flow states and creative consciousness

Flow is the condition in which the maker and the making temporarily coincide — in which the gap between intention and execution narrows to nothing, and the work arrives without the friction of self-watching. It cannot be forced, only invited, through the conditions that tend to produce it: sufficient skill, sufficient challenge, and the temporary suspension of the evaluating mind. To have experienced it is to know that creative consciousness at its deepest is not effortful but receptive — a state in which something comes through.
