The higher we go the more perspective we have and something that looks like a problem at a lower level doesn’t even look that way any longer.īut you cannot force, control or will your way to a more expansive state of mind. The view from each floor is different and the higher you go the bigger and broader the view. Imagine a glass elevator on the side of a very tall building. In other words, we experience a jump in consciousness.

The only time we ever truly transcend a problem is when we get new, fresh thinking about it. We can all find examples of these in our lives and it is so easy to expand a great deal of energy looking in the wrong place, or rather, from a state of mind in which we’re highly unlikely to get what we need. To me, he is saying that it is inconceivable that we could find the answers we need on the same level of consciousness in which we see something as a problem.Ĭan you think of a recurring challenge, difficulty or problem you encounter where you feel stuck and would like an insight or a new perspective? “We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.” My favourite quote attributed to Einstein’s is: There aren’t that many true bona fide geniuses, past or present, but Albert Einstein was certainly in that category.Īpart from his work in the field of physics his insight and clarity into how the human mind works were extraordinary too.
