Why Ideas Get Copied

Have you ever had the most amazing idea or light bulb moment and then not carried it through?

Then a year or two later, you see someone else has done it and ’stolen’ your invention or idea for a book.

You take umbrage and feel a bit aggrieved.

To explain how this comes about, imagine that all knowledge, wisdom and memories – past, present and future – sit in a sort of cosmic soup. Now I stress this is just a model and a way for us to think about something which is kinda beyond comprehension.

This has many names like the superconsciousness, the Akashic Field, the Zero Point Field or the Collective Mind. You can think of our brains, especially that 90% the scientists don’t have a function for, as a tranducer to the collective consciousness which sits outside our 3-D space and time.

You will notice that you have these bright ideas when you are not thinking – either dreaming, day dreaming or meditating – which is when the conscious mind is on pause.

If you don’t act on the idea, what happens is that it pops back into the cosmic mind and anyone else can then pick up on it.

An alternative approach is to act on the Idea …

… and start to Dream about where it can take you – or you can take it.

Next you can Evaluate all the options

and then, most importantly, take Action

By doing this, you take the inspiration all the way done into the real world and ground the IDEA and make it your own.

To get even better results, you can even synchronise this process (and your creative process) to the phase of the Moon and get even more amazing results – see here for details
