From Julia Cameron, goddess of creative recovery through such nurturing and freeing books as The Artist’s Way, and The Sound of Paper among many others…
‘In Hawaiian Kuna religion… connection to our subconscious child-self is called contacting our “ku.” Without such contact, our rational mind stays too much in the middle, in control, and our prayers, invocations, and desires for manifestation do not reach our Higher Selves.
In Western creativity theory, this is what Rollo May was talking about when he said that creative insights came in periods of release after intense mental effort to solve a problem.
In twelve-step language, this is what is meant by the expression, “Let go and let God.”‘
(Julia Cameron 1996, The Vein of Gold: a journey to your creative heart, Tarcher/Putnam p. 130.)
