Automatic writing.
You know, where you sit down with a pen and a piece of paper, calm and empty the mind by circling the pen in the top left corner of the page, and when the inclination hits you, just write without thinking about what you're writing - just let the pen ribbon across the paper.
I've been experimenting with it for a few weeks now, and some of the stuff I've come out with has genuinely surprised me. It's like dragging thoughts from the subconscious into the conscious mind.
I've been doing one page at a time, then typing it out and correcting the spelling and grammar. A lot of what comes out is surreal and abstract - kind of like gobbledegook with a hidden agenda - but every now and then there's certain passages which really stand out. If you like doing a bit of creative writing and you're suffering from writer's block, I'd say it's a good method of unlocking new and different ideas.
It's my new hobby. Has anyone done it, tried it? Perhaps you've written a 50,000 word book on sadomasichistic unicorns in 3 hours - ?

theres a form of art where you just clear your mind, close your eyes (maybe burn insence and stuff)basically disconnect from the world and just think, or not as the case maybe. basically to appear drugged up (or so it would seem) and then you just write/draw/paint etc.

Woop Woop: that's the sound of the police.
Yes, I believe it all started in the surrealist movement at the turn of the century - DADA and all that. Not "Doo Doo Doo, Da Da Da", that was The Police.
Ho ho. Whay are you red? I've always wanted to be red.
An entire thread of automatic writing.
Oh.My.

Let's analyse:
6 squares.
Squares have 4 sides.
6 x 4 = 24.
Reverse the 24 to get 42.
Unbelievable!
*42* - the meaning of life itself.

Ah good good.
I see how you mean now.

I think he was referring to gerrid's 6 squares in a row masterpiece.
