Paragraf 1

Most of us have no concept of the extent to which we are continually surrounded by

the invisible opportunities inherent in the information we're exposed to. More often than not,
we never learn about these opportunities and, as a result, they remain invisible. The
problem, of course, is that unless we're in a completely new or unique situation or we're
operating out of an attitude of genuine openness, we won't perceive something that we
haven't learned about yet. To learn about something, we have to be able to experience it in
some way. So what we have here is a closed loop that prevents us from learning. Perceptual
closed loops exist in all of us, because they are natural functions of the way mental energy
expresses itself on our senses.

Paragraf 2
Acting appropriately on anything requires belief and clarity of intent, which keeps our
minds and senses focused on the purpose at hand. If the source of our actions is creative in
nature, and our rational mind hasn't been properly trained to trust this source, then at some
point in the process of acting on this information, our rational brain will flood our
consciousness with conflicting and competing thoughts. Of course, all of these thoughts will
be sound and reasonable in nature, because they will be coming from what we already know
at a rational level, but they will have the effect of flipping us out of "the zone" or any other
creative state of mind. There are few things in life more frustrating than recognizing the
possibilities evident from a hunch, intuition, or an inspired idea, and not taking advantage of
that potential because we talked ourselves out of it.
