Much of breakthrough thinking happens in the subconscious and
this is in its ready state during periods of total relaxation.
This means that consultants and executives often have their best
ideas at night.
Learning merely builds the database for the subconscious to draw
upon. There are techniques to delegate to the subconscious and to
draw out the results. This training is similar to what athletes
do in the physical world. The irony is that such solutions often
seem trivial and obvious when they are finally articulated. Have
you ever had the disappointment when people say "Oh yeah that makes
sense" to your best and most integrated breakthrough ideas?
