The balance mentioned above can be terribly elusive, particularly when suffering from Bi-Polar illness. While I do appreciate the importance of this rational approach to the creative self, when in the grips of a genuine manic episode self-awareness itself is compromised, rendering the ego completely unable to assess its own thoughts and actions. Oftentimes medication is necessary to achieve the appropriate ‘state of mind’ to choose the positive path of the artist.
I thoroughly enjoyed this article, and plan to subscribe to “Reptitude.”
Thank you for such a thoughtful article.
