I'm talking about the alpha brain wave state. Normally we're in beta (waking life, active thought). When we meditate, or even when we do routine tasks that we don't have to think about (housecleaning, getting ready for work in the morning, etc.), or be "on", so to speak, we slip into alpha--a different brainwave pattern. When artists create, they are in alpha. (I'm a writer, and when I'm in alpha I get "in the groove" and the material "just comes to me".) There are also deeper patterns (theta and delta) that you can get into in a really REALLY deep meditative state.

I like your story about concert tickets! That's a great one! No row in front of you--snarf!
