Our minds are driven, pattern-finding engines. Much of what we 'discover' is done 'behind the scenes'. E.g. 'he woke up with the answer'. Many musicians have related how they learned how to 'channel' ... open themselves to write-down or perform 'incoming transmissions' as it were. Shouldn't surprise us too much. How often do we start talking about something - at length - without prior deliberation ... as if we just opened a valve? It's as if, once the engine has 'figured out' the patterns, we just ... turn it on.
