We think\u00a0genius lives\u00a0inside of us. But this is terrifying for an artist! What happens when\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0blocked? Or\u00a0having\u00a0a bad day? What about when\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0just not IN it? \u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If genius lives inside of us, or if indeed WE are the genius, then when things go south, we\u00a0actually suck! And that sucks! We fall \u201cinto tremendous depression and despair because we\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0always deliver genius. \u2026 Sometimes\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0there, sometimes\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0not.\u201d\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0quoting an amazing podcast\u00a0\u2013 The Telepathy Tapes, Season 2, Episode 3, The Consciousness of Creativity. Listen here:\u00a0https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-telepathy-tapes\/id1766382649.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, Rick Rubin (Def Jam Records, Columbia Records, smart guy) claims that genius is \u201clike a download \u2026 from outside of ourselves. We\u00a0participate, but it\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0start with\u00a0us. \u2026\u00a0The best artists\u00a0seem to have\u00a0an antenna open to whatever the universe wants to happen now in this moment.\u201d Ibid.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now THAT\u00a0I\u00a0buy. In\u00a0fact\u00a0I relate! I never learned 90% of what I talk about\u00a0regarding\u00a0acting! Why do you think I record everything and insist on notes? Because I have no idea\u00a0what\u2019s\u00a0going to come out of my mouth!
