Our education systems, in particular, High schools and tertiary educators condition us to think vicariously by constantly examining us on how well we can regurgitate the thoughts/ideas of so called experts. Original thought is frowned upon because it challenges the ability of examiners.
Yet if you read the biographies/autobiographies of leading edge thinkers who've made break throughs in their field, you'll commonly find that the answers they were seeking to the problem they were trying to solve, came when they were no longer able to 'think' the answers and sought inspiration beyond what the information they already knew.
The answers frequently arrived in the form of a vision or a spontaneous download of not already known information.
In other words they broke through, past the logical mind, into another state of mind and accessed the 'universal mind.'
