“You are brighter than you think.”

Intelligence is not an innate aptitude, hardwired atconception or in the womb, but a collection ofdeveloping skills driven by the interaction betweengenes and environment. No one is born with apredetermined amount of intelligence. Intelligence (IQscores) can be improved. Few adults come close to theirtrue intellectual potential.

Intelligence is not fixed but waiting to be developed.Athletic prowess is not preordained but awaitstraining. Musical ability lies dormant in all of us,calling for early and sustained incantation. Thepotential for creativity is built into the architecture ofour brains. All of these are functions of influence andprocess – far from fully controllable, but also quite theopposite of fixed and predetermined.

Even if you have yet to revolutionize anyone’s ideasabout the planet or its habitants, you came into theworld with the same spark of genius beheld so long agoby the mothers of Christopher Columbus, NicolausCopernicus, and Thomas Jefferson. By its very design, thehuman brain harbors vast potential for memory, learning,and creativity. Yours does too – far more than you maythink.

The truth of the matter is that unless we are taught to useour brains, unless we understand how our brains workand their relationship to intelligence, you may never evenapproach truly intelligent functioning. Within all of us isthe potential for genius. It is there for us to develop, toexplore, and to enjoy.

Over the years, my studies have led me consistentlyto the conclusion that geniuses are little more thanordinary people who have stumbled upon someknack or techniques for widening their channel ofattention, thus making conscious their subtle,unconscious perceptions*.

The Einstein Factor* liberates mental abilities youdidn’t know you had. I tried the techniques in thebook and they paid off instantly. It’s almost scary.

Gene-gift proponents would have us believe ingenetic fate and strict limits. The real lesson ofgenetics, thought – and of identical twins – isprecisely the opposite. None of us is stuck in somesort of destined body or life. We inherit – and wealso become.

The human brain is not limited to the neurons it isborn with or even to the neurons that fill it after theexplosion of brain development in early childhood.New neurons are born well into the eighth decade oflife. They migrate to structures where they weavethemselves into existing brain circuitry and perhapsform the basis of new circuitry.

How successful people think can be learned. If you changeyour thinking, you can change your life….

It’s hard to overstate the value of changing your thinking.Good thinking can do many things for you: generaterevenue, solve problems, and create opportunities. It cantake you to a whole new level — personally andprofessionally. It really can change your life.

Sadly, a change in thinking doesn’t happen on its own.Good ideas rarely go out and find someone. If you want tofind a good idea, you must search for it. If you want tobecome a better thinker, you need to work at it – once youbegin to become a better thinker, the good ideas keepcoming.

…when something intrigues you – whether it’s someoneelse’s idea or the seed of an idea that you’ve come up withyourself – keep it in front of you. Put it in writing and keepit somewhere in your favorite thinking place to stimulateyour thinking.

Find a place where you can think, and plan to capture yourthoughts on paper so that you can’t lose them.

Like intelligence, talents are not innate gifts, but theresult of slow, invisible accretion of skills developedfrom the moment of conception, and some withunique advantages for certain tasks. But no one isgenetically designed into greatness and few arebiologically restricted from attaining it.

Even without knowing exactly how mind influencesbrain, neuroscientists have evidence that it somehowinvolves paying attention…. Without paying attention,information that our senses take in – what we see andhear, feel, smell, and taste – literally does not registerin the mind. It may not be stored even briefly inmemory. What you see is determined by what you payattention to.

The pattern of activity of neurons in sensory areas can bealtered by patterns of attention…Experience coupled withattention leads to physical changes in the structure andfuture functioning of the nervous system. This leaves uswith a clear physiological fact… moment by moment wechoose and sculpt how our ever-changing minds will work,we choose who we will be in the next moments in a veryreal sense, and these choices are lift embossed in physicalform on our material selves.

We learn best by working things out, making our ownmeaning via our own preferred way of learning, not frombeing given answers delivered ready-made via theteacher’s preferred way of teaching.

Inventors are fueled by the analogies that they spot all aroundthem. Applying an analogy is a process of spotting knowledgein one context that can be abstracted and transferred toanother context. Inventors are particularly skilled at this kind ofcontext shifting, but virtually anyone can do it once he or sherecognizes the pattern.

Nature invents too, and some of the most unlikelybreakthroughs in medicine, materials, and artificial intelligenceare inspired by analogies to how nature works.

Imagery offers us a direct clue to the nature of thecreative process. It is no coincidence that our cultureequates creativity with imagination. The ability toimagine, to conjure up images or visions of thingsdifferent than our ordinary reality, has always beenrecognized as the hallmark of the creative mind. And if welearn how better to imagine or see images, we have takenthe major step toward becoming more creative.

The day-dreaming, Image-Streaming process of giving themind free rein to connect elements without my consciousinterference reliably leads to new insights for any creativeendeavor.

Even when I'm not searching for an answer, just doinggeneral mental housekeeping, the relaxation and safety ofthe Image-Streaming process are restorative. Since thereare no wrong answers, no mistakes to worry about, unlikewhen connected to the outside world and to otherpeople's demands, with Image-Streaming one canintegrate without stress the many details floating aroundunresolved. It's like meditation in clearing out noise andstaying in harmony with one's senses.

The dynamic principle of fantasy is play, which belongsalso to the child and,… appears to be inconsistent with theprinciple of serious work. But without this playing withfantasy, no creative work has ever yet come to birth.

Hear one another out. Draw each other out. And when it'syour turn to be speaking, pay far more attention to whatyou are actually perceiving than to what you know. Anddon't repeat yourself much. The universe is infinite: byattending to your own perceptions, you are infinite. Andso also is that person you are drawing out. Even the leastof us is a window on God, whatever your definition.

Eighty to ninety percent of the brain, by volume,associates by sensory imagery. Less than two percent ofthe brain associates in words and word concepts, thoughthat is where most of our conscious thinking andperceiving is. Most of our intelligence and nearly all ourcreativity are found in the unconscious part of our brainthat associates in sensory images. Working in thelanguage of that part of our brain wherein resides the vastmajority of our intelligence, Image-Streaming accessesresources greater and more extensive than most of us areused to using in Western culture.

In certain problems that I have done, it was necessary tocontinue the development of the picture as the method,before the mathematics could really be done.

There is increasing evidence that many highly original andproductive thinkers have clearly preferred visual oververbal modes of thought for many tasks….

Historically, it is apparent that some of the most originaland gifted thinkers in the physical sciences, engineering,mathematics, and other areas relied heavily on visualmodes of thought, employing images instead of words ornumbers.
