We all face problems in our lives, so wouldn’t it be great
if we could just give them to someone else to solve, and finding a genius at
solving problems is the perfect answer!
We all use mental reference points to orientate our way
through life Like where our feet are in relationship to the ground, or
remembering exactly what we are about to do next.
These form our mind map that navigates us along our lives
and influences our emotional attachments, personal resilience, outlook on life
and our problem solving mental paths too. Many thing are hardwired into our
brain, and many are not. If you are one of those people for whom
brainstorming problems for creative new
or even original solutions is hard,
then Einstein might be able to help you
today!
You see, because we all as individuals think in our own
unique ways, we all have different strengths and weaknesses in the ways we
solve problems. For example, I think in a spatial and artistically creative
way, extremely laterally, whereas you might think in a very linear or logical
way, or perhaps in another different way that is individual to you alone.
The point is: why not maximize the way we think as an
individual instead of adhering to any set paths or methods. So how did Einstein
do it? He was a great admirer of our childish sense of wonder and imagination,
and was very rebellious in his thinking and behaviour, even when quite young.
To such a degree, that I believe that when a sibling was born, and presented to him for the very first
time, his first comment, coming from his unique perspective, was something akin
to “Yes, but where are it’s wheels?!!"
At first this comment may sound slightly childish even
simple, or slightly mad. But the Einstein thought process seems to have been
especially based not on what was obvious or most apparent, but by what was NOT
apparent, or even missing altogether!
In other words, the ‘normal’, usual mental reference points
most people use to think
EINSTEIN COULD METHODICALLY REMOVE THESE COMPLETELY! This
freed up his thinking from the immediate limitations of ‘normality thinking’-
as most of us rationalize and form our perspectives of our world. This key
removal of all mental limitations feels to some people like ‘allowing the floor
to drop away from under them’ and it can be quite an un-nerving feeling of a
total loss of balance that’s how strong we use reference points in our mind to
rationalize our lives and our perceived reality. (We all live in our own mental
worlds totally unique to each one of us, and created literally by our own minds
perceptions of what our ‘reality’ is.)
This process is not ‘normal’ everyday thinking, but a way of
opening your mind to every possibility and permutation of an original solution
available in the known universe and beyond! It’s not a strained kind of
thinking where logic dominates, but a floating kind of release of your mind,
where you allow anything to enter and your gut instincts, emotions and whole
being are involved as one force, drawing
in with ease and attracting a stream of the wonderful and incredible, sublime
and seemingly ridiculous or impossible. This is the twighlight zone where the
impossible questions get answered.
I think it strange that so many people these days think they
need drugs to get what they need, to achieve what their own minds do naturally
- you might like to try getting ‘out of your box’ too sometime: The answers you
find ‘there’ could change your life for the better!
