Oooo, lucky you! You caught the idea!
"Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you've got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. They're huge and abstract. And they're very beautiful." - David Lynch
When the individual “waters their own root” by consistently practicing TM, they put themselves in a position to access flow state easier and more intentionally. The transcendent state of consciousness is where the big ideas (or the “big fish”) hang out!
It’s called the Creative PROCESS, not the Creative RESULT.
**"SYNECHDOCHE, NEW YORK" MOVIE SPOILERS AHEAD**
One of my favorite movies is Charlie Kaufman's "Synechdoche, New York." If you haven't seen it, the film follows Caden, a struggling playwright who wins the MacArthur Grant and decides to put on the biggest play the world has ever seen. He builds a life-sized replica of NYC to use as the set for his play (it's a very absurdist film). He casts actors to play different roles of people who exist in his real life, including casting someone to play him. Eventually, rehearsals for his play become indistinguishable from his reality.
There is a character "Ellen" who we never actually see, only hear about. She is Caden's ex-wife's cleaning lady in real life. Through one of Caden's real-life attempts to contact his ex-wife, he goes to her home when she's not there and pretends to be her cleaning lady. Hilariously, he actually just ends up cleaning his ex's apartment. He makes a habit out of this, and goes back several times just to clean. Eventually, as Caden's reality and his play have entirely collided, he casts an actor to play real-life director Caden because he is tired of directing and thinks she can do a better job. Giving up his title as "Caden," he takes the permanent role of "Ellen," the cleaning lady with the simple and straight-forward life.
Where am I going with this? I find this visualization sooo interesting. An artist, with unlimited money and resources to put on an amazing play, feels trapped by his need for success and instead finds solace in being a cleaning lady. For him, I believe it is a blissful experience. True bliss can be found anywhere, and sometimes we're even MORE prone to discover it in surprising places, because it alleviates the pressure we put on ourselves as artists.
