Key Concepts:
- The idea that we might have full responsibility for our circumstances is big. It must rate as the biggest idea we can contemplate.
- If we create all our circumstances, then being in touch with, or effectively directing that which is beyond our limited conscious knowledge would be of primary importance.
- Taking full responsibility implies an ability to be 'intuitively-aware' of future circumstances, for otherwise we would or could remain 'victims' to unforseen events.
- The conscious mind is necessarily the director of unconscious connectivity and influence.
- The recognition of intuitive, precognitive abilities is not simply a matter of intellectual acceptance but one that must be felt (experienced) to be believed, trusted and acted upon to create desired reality.
- Creativity is necessarily central to "creating one's reality" using inventiveness, problem solving, intuition and precognition.
- Creativity comes through strengthening a “relaxed expectedness.” It's a paradoxical process, an "inseparable-duality" of forcefulness and attraction; of head and heart; of attachment (to outcomes) while letting go the moment-by-moment details (detachment).
- The creative process (the art of invention and problem solving) is found to be common to inventive scientists and successful business people.
- American architect Buckminster Fuller's extensive research revealed that the single most important element in scientific discovery is intuition.
- Research indicates that 'pre-cognition' is initially perceived through feelings which occur in the solar plexus region, hence the term “gut feelings.”
- But if such abilities exist, and we have unlimited inner potential, why don’t we utilise our potentials more effectively?
- What stops us from living life to the full?
