Tanya class 22 - The flow state - aligning with infinite energy

Aligning with infinite energy only happens in a place where we completely let go of judgement and we stay with the question. An open state of curiosity and wonder beyond stories and judgements. If you find the judgements pulling you down, just become curious about them. Artists are especially aware of creative block and it’s opposite: the ‘flow state.’ The flow state is when we experiences a huge amount of pleasure and energy from creativity or creative genius flowing through us. We lose track of space and time and often marvel at what is created in the end, having a sense that it came through us and not from us. As Julia Cameron, author of The Artists Way wrote, all creativity is ‘eavesdropping on G-d.’ When we think that we are the one creating, we often get stuck. Because, is it good enough? Will people like it? Is it prefect to my standards of perfection? We get stuck on ‘whatever I am creating is an expression of me,’ and then, ‘what will people think of me?  this thought process blocks the flow of infinity coming through us. One of the keys that help us to stay in the flow state is remembering: ‘All success is G-ds, all failure is G-d gently reminding me that I thought it was me’
