Imagination–Just What the Doctor Ordered

images1 150x150 Imagination  Just What the Doctor Ordered You might enjoy this new book Imagine: How Creativity Works by Jonah Lehrer. Some very good descriptions of how the creative process arises and how creativity does not fit into a linear, analytical mindset. Lehrer does not approach the area of remote viewing and non-local awareness, in fact, he explicitly stays away from it. But his discussion definitely moves the ball down the field.

However, one also wishes that Lehrer would look at some of the recent research concerning remote viewing, human-machine interactions at PEAR Labs, and presentience data that show that our imaginations may span more than just our right brains.

(Also take a look at this previous post concerning recent discoveries about human imagination.)

Scientists Discover Inner Brain “Imagination” Network

The November 8th issue of New Scientist magazine reports that scientists have a discovered a new part of the brain that “turns on” when your rational, thinking mind turns off. Contrary to the idea that has been held for a long time, that your brain is doing less when you aren’t actively thinking or doing something, new research shows a network in the brain that is especially active when you daydream or “space out.” It only shuts down when a more urgent task requires its share of oxygen and energy. Called the “default network” for lack of a better term, these parts of the brain are considered essential for sorting through memories, storing them, and connecting memories with future plans. This network is active even during early stages of sleep and produces very slow waves across parts of the brain when it operates. One can only wonder if this part of the brain is connected to remote viewing as it seems especially active when we activate our imagination.
