I have found, in my personal and not at all even a little bit scientific personal experience, that altered states can be very good indeed for what people who write (I don’t paint or practice higher mathematics or any of the other relevant things, so I shan’t presume to comment on them) call the creative process. But then, maybe this isn’t the right place for talking about The Creative Process, which I suppose is a nebulous and rather wanky sort of a term even if it is something very dear to my heart.
Yes, that’s very true.
