I love wild conversations. Feral, free-ranging, unbounded, amoral, asocial -- tracing the true leaps of the mind. Nothing is off limits.
When two people reach this state, which I call "Bigness" or "Greatness" -- both minds are freed. There's nothing left to filter, no worry of how your thoughts will be perceived. There's no "you" or "I" left -- it's just the connections, thinking themselves, remapping themselves.
Csikszentmihalyi would call this "Flow," the peak creative state. I would say, this is a form of Flow for the spiritually/ethically/artistically/intellectually rigorous. For artist-thinkers who are media-independent.
It feels like being able to breathe underwater. It is cleansing, purifying. Finally, the flow is fast enough, wide enough, mysterious enough. It takes place at the membrane between the conscious and the subconscious. Telepathy begins to occur. When both people get aligned, trust and bandwidth are high, ANYTHING can be introduced. All the consciouses trust all the unconsciouses. Nothing is incidental, everything has meaning.

You remind me I need to find a class or a production where I can do some deep work. The problem is I can't go back to things that worked before, I have to keep moving elsewhere. Not really sure what forward is, or if that is where I need, want, or crave to go. Just working towards where those disparate desires converge.
