Inspiration and truly creative ideas do not come from thinking. They comes from Stillness, ‘ The Field’, ‘The Zone’, the Source, Pure Consciousness.
Once a basketball commits to drive to the basket, thinking does not play a role in slipping through the defence and dunking the ball. This act of inspired phyiscal performance comes from ‘the zone’.
Creative solutions to really tough problems - our A-Ha! Experiences - come from a moment of stillness, prior to thought – perhaps while taking a shower, or out for a walk.
The brain can help us put creativity into action, or translate it into speech, but Stillness, is beyond its reach.
