You Can Use Your Creative Intelligence to Create
“An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.” – Victor Hugo
When you live a Low Density Lifestyle, your creative intelligence is heightened, which will allow you to create new and visionary ideas.
And in this day and age, this is very important.
Why?
Welcome to the Imagination Age
Because this is no longer the information age. This is the imagination age. The highest achievers are people who create new ideas, people with imagination who fully use their creative intelligence.
It is not hard to use your creative thinking abilities and come up with new ideas. It’s the same process you use to vision. It is an innate ability that all of us have, but because it is not encouraged or cultivated, it has atrophied – it is like muscles that you never use.
Creativity is Key
The physicist David Bohm once said, “Creativity is a fundamental principle of the Cosmos and what needed to be explained were the processes that were not creative.”
If creativity is a fundamental principle of the cosmos, then we all have great capabilities of thinking of brilliant ideas.
The French philosopher Voltaire said, “Good is the enemy of great.” We’re at our best when we’re forced to stretch beyond what we know, yet we tend to come up with ideas that are predictable and within our comfort zone. We settle on good when we could keep going all the way to great.
Part of this is because we don’t cultivate our imagination, and part of this is because we’re afraid to come up with new ideas because they may sound crazy and make us look foolish. But often new ideas, because
they can be so farsighted in scope, look outlandish to those who can’t think that far ahead.
New Ideas and the Experts Who “Know it All”
Most of the time new ideas, because they are visionary in nature, are rejected by many – especially the experts who claim they know it all.
History is littered with brilliant ideas that end up on the rejection pile, but because the person who believed in their idea felt so strong about it, it was able to rise to the top and eventually succeed.
Tomorrow I will tell you about some brilliant ideas that were rejected when they were first proposed. They were rejected because the people who were judging it had limited creative intelligence and were caught up in a High Density Lifestyle.
