Coming in late on the thread, but at least I've read the article.
Creative energy is sexual energy, in my opinion, i.e., the impulse springs
from the same bio-electro/chemical source/location in the brain. My opinion
is not based on any study but personal observation. Whenever I've been
prescribed any tranquilizer the first effect is a numbing of the sexual
impulse, even of physical sensitivity. The creative and sexual act takes an
effort of will (different part of the brain). Consequently I stop taking the
pills after a time and celebrate the return of sensitivity to the creative
forces like the return of Spring. Let's hear it for Mother Nature!
