Do you ever get that feeling that there is a weight sitting upon your consciousness which seems to inhibit you from gaining that next level of understanding. No matter how much time you dedicate to your thoughts, to pondering the stimuli that you've experienced in your life, it all seems to sit in a state of stasis. Going no further, making no new connections. Almost as if you've reached the limit of your intelligence.
Then there are moments when you can't absorb enough data, like your mind is flexible, malleable, able to suck information like a sponge, retain it and understand it. It is this state which I currently strive towards. To attain that perfect mental condition where I can learn quickly and efficiently. To feel the ecstasy of connections forming in my brain, to open up that single pathway which leads me to a torrent of new comprehension.
