This state of "just awareness" is like being a super antenna. It's the same flow state that athletes and creatives get into. When creatives create something it can feel like it's coming from outside them.

It's also why they can be stereotypically arrogant. They can interpret it as hearing God more clearly than others. If I were friends with God, I'd be arrogant too. It's easy to look down on people when you think "I see God more clearly than this fool."

The arrogance is.. arrogant.... The same energy a creative channels into their work is just the same energy of writing a diary or journal. Production of *anything* new requires you to break script and listen to your thoughts instead of replaying the drama. Anyone can be creative

True humility is when you enter the state where you are NOT the storyteller rehashing the same old tale but instead the Hand, humbling serving the Moment in content ignorance as to increase the delight of seeing the final result.

Test for this. Sit still and measure "boredom". Boredom is a symptom of arrogance as it derides the present moment as unremarkable despite it being a miracle. (It's not about intellectual appreciation, it's about the 'feeling'.)

It also doesn't mean that boredom is bad. It's just a pain signal trying to provide information. It tells you that you're missing the sensitivity to make the most of the constant signal around you.

Either you need to level up and increase your sensitivity or if that's too hard of a jump move to a higher signal area and increase your skill in more manageable leaps. Constantly failing at the same difficult thing doesn't actually improve anything except your hard work score.

Being around someone highly sensitive is a weird feeling. You can get the sense that babies are super sensitive. Many people find it awkward and even shameful to look a baby in the eyes. It's pure innocence seeing through you.
