Intuitive insight
It is known that in the process of creativity in finding solutions to problems, academic problems people often find it intuitive solution. It comes as a brilliant guess, as inspiration, as a sudden flash of light. If the Lord God whispered in your ear.
What to do to it so often "whispered"? More often in a state of creative inspiration.
State of intuitive insight, instant illumination, no doubt, based on subconscious processes in the human psyche.
Known study of creative processes under the guidance of DCTikhomirov. He showed that in hypnosis the average person is able to draw like an artist of genius. But the interesting thing that came out of hypnosis, he retains his ability! We can only wonder to what extent we do not know myself!
External stimulus reveals latent abilities. In studies of DCTikhomirov external stimulus was altered state of consciousness - hypnotized. But it is not only an altered state known to man. There are state of relaxation (deep relaxation), meditation (focusing on any subject without any thought) prayer. Psychology calls them sometimes states of self-hypnosis. But unlike hypnosis, in these states are dominated by the personality, is fully preserved free will, individuality, and self-control: I want - I go into this state, I want - I'm out of it.
The mechanism of altered state of consciousness is not yet known to anybody. Not yet matured to mankind such mysteries.We're so stupid that, whether this mechanism is known, we immediately started to use it against him (in the military, for destructive purposes.)
However long the man was given over methods of introducing himself into a state of communion with the subtle worlds. This is self-hypnosis, it is the state of creative inspiration. All spiritual practices known to mankind, based on relaxation and meditation.The meaning of these states - using the opportunities of the brain that are totally unused in everyday life. The purpose of altered states of consciousness - self-knowledge.
