“This is the frame of mind you’re in where you just want to stick with it no matter what. You’re not thinking about the phone ringing. You’re not thinking about anyone else in your life because you are totally immersed in that train of thought. And that’s the benefit that the relaxing will give you. Relaxing is the first key, because you’ve got to still the outer body and the outer mind to get in. The busier you are out here, you’re entry is going to be haphazard. You’ll have intuitive flashes, but they’ll come and go and you won’t be able to understand them. So this becomes very important.

It is essential for writer’s block. With writer’s block a nap is a great thing. Some of you may already have discovered this. Rather than become so stressful that you can’t get past this point, take a nap.

Now the reason who this works is a very simple scientific principle and what that principle is is that your subconscious mind, your inner self, the part of you that dreams, has a duty to fulfill and that duty is to fulfill any conscious desires that you have. If you’re working in a story line, if you’re working on a problem, as one of our panelists mentioned, you can turn it over, literally, to your subconscious mind and expect an answer and it will give you one. Robert Louis Stevenson talked about how he was in financial straights and for two days he racked his brain for some kind of plot, for anything that he could get some money generated, and he went to sleep and he dreamed about the scene at the window and then the scene where a man is running down away from pursuers and takes a powder and transforms himself. Which of course became his most famous novel, perhaps, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Dreams are available to you every time you sleep. A writer is never ever short of a subject matter."
