Summary

This quote suggests that inspiration is a state of mind that is opposite to self-consciousness. It implies that inspiration arises from a level of consciousness beyond our normal awareness, whether it be the super-conscious or subconscious. In other words, when we are truly inspired, we are not preoccupied with our own thoughts, insecurities, or self-awareness. Instead, inspiration allows us to tap into a higher understanding or creativity that transcends our ego, leading to a flow of ideas or actions that come naturally and effortlessly.
