I wouldn't contest that, and thanks for your advice.

But could you elaborate more on what you mean by a 'filter' as opposed to a 'selfless zen state'?

Filter being your conscious mind.

Sometimes when I read or write, it's with a voice I haven't heard before. It doesn't sound authentic to me. That's my mind being loud, and it acts as a dirty filter that inhibits pure words from flowing freely.
