Mystic
Thinking

Mystic thinking is a very common trait among those special
people that lead others into solving problems. Mystic thinking is an art that
is solely a concept that exists within the mind and nowhere else. It does not
become familiar to everyone unless they take the time to learn more about the
concept and adapt their mindset to make it work for them.
Whether you are a parallel thinking or a lateral thinker
you must learn how to think against the most logical approach and look at it
from another view or dimension. Think of it as horizontal thinking or vertical
to the parallel problem presented to you to solve. Not a new perspective but
rather an old one, we have forgotten to think for ourselves as we have become
accustomed to allow others do it for us. Surely this is something one will
resist to admit but the truth is, many of us take things for granted as they
are and not challenging the way thinks could be.
Enligthening the reader, it must be understood that not
everyone is capable of mystic thinking. Some call it out of the box thinking
but whatever it is called, it’s not a new concept but still unconventional in movements.
Mystic thinking is creative thinking to a large degree. However
since it does share its qualities some mistake creative thinking for mystic
thinking. Mystic thinking has many more qualities
of its own to separate itself from creative thinking methods.
Some qualities of creative thinking are parameters bound
by what you have to deal with realities or evidence involved. It does not allow
you to drift away from the reality and create your own scenarios that are different
from those already proposed or discussed. It is indeed independent thinking strategy
but conforming to your own mindset designed in your brain.
Mystic thinking is a step beyond creative thinking. It performs
in total freedom of moving your thoughts into any direction without parameters
or restrictions. Endless and giving you
the willingness or energy to proceed without hesitation, it gives you an
entirely new perspective of what is being discussed or proposed. Therefore,
creative thinking could lead into paralysis of the brain as it has certain
possibilities of limitations and deliberate freedoms to think.
Ultimately, this kind of thinking is an alternative to conventional
thinking and creative thinking combined. It allows people faced with a problem
to go beyond creative works and without arbitrary constraints. In other words, mystic thinking requires you
to break the rules of the other methods to solve problems.
Mystic thinking belongs to the person that is working on
the problem. The vision is engrained and maintained inside the brain until
released or explained to others for either consensus or objections to the
manner it is being proposed.
In mystic thinking we must focus on the rules provided. The
mere fact is that it requires extreme latitude in allowing the rules to be bent
or broken to achieve freedom. Strict rules are counterproductive to solutions
and narrows down the end product with no gain or little advance in problem
solving.
So you can begin to see how creative thinking leads to
mystic thinking as it serves as the very baseline to jump off the table and
find solutions for the problem at hand. Real
creativity turns into mystic creations when it gets done right as you remove
all the rules. It allows more freedom in the manner of approaching the problem
and coming up with a solution. Along with this freedom to move is the ability
solve the problem.
A creative project that leads to mystic thinking will give
you a bigger toolbox to work with and more movement go into any direction
desired. It is almost empty of constraints and allows you to unleash a stronger
force of energy to solve the problem. It’s like having a puzzle and allowing the
opportunity to re-shape the pieces smaller or larger, round or square, jagged
or smooth to make it all come together as a completed puzzled clear and
understood visually and mentally.
Is this unrealistic? Think about it and decide if the
answer is yes or no. mystic thinking is picking up a piece of the puzzle that
is either undesired or discarded and make it into an entirely new piece that will
work with the other pieces. Your mind must make strokes of delivering new ideas
with new shapes and thoughts along the way. What was scrap before becomes a
centerpiece for your solution. Your mind keeps moving to make things fit
together and develop an entirely new puzzle but still something that fits the
desired outcome.
Mystic thinking has no guidelines. You can make rules and
take away rules as you go. You can lay it down on the table or pick it back up.
The words experiment and motivation come to mind as you work your mind to
overcome this challenge. It becomes in fact a puzzle your created from the original
pieces but not resembling any portion of it except as a source for making it.
Gambling is one element of the concept. Another is the
emotion of whether you are happy or unhappy with your choices or decisions
along the way. Mystic thinking is tiresome and must be done when energized and
not tired otherwise you will fall victim of the paralysis of the mind that will
stop you dead in your tracks.
After executing several attempts of mystic thinking you
may become tired and bored as you have developed and found a new way to solve
problems other stand in awe of and all the while boring you to death. This is a
personal challenge to maintain self-control and motivation. However, if kept up
and fresh with desire to meet challenges head on, it will bring you
self-satisfaction, confidence and joy as you have accomplished another extreme
manner to solve problems identified to be most challenging to some, but impossible
to attain for others.
