"When I was making a mathematical calculation, just like Ven, Master, he came out on the square root of 6 divided by 2, but I got 3 divided by the square root of 6. Naturally we checked and compared, but to no avail. It was only much later, that I got the idea that the two answers might be the same. I checked that and it was correct. How come such a belated solution Master? It should have been clear from the onset."
"It was partly a superstitious belief. The two looked so different that you did not test it against Reality. You put the problem it evoked aside as insoluble, yet, the subconscious went on thinking about it. This was 'Lateral Thinking', and it led to a solution that forced itself into your conscious mind. A sudden fit of ideas into a much bigger one, emotive too, that triggeredoff a Eureka or Aha experience. A number of ideas might come to fit into one new whole idea that has a much larger emotional dimension than the sum of the constituents. It then forces itself into attention, into consciousness, from subliminal into liminal. Thus, you can see that there is no harm in letting the subconscious work for you. For this, let it just free-wheel, just let go, be quiet, no effort. That is the Way with subconscious ideation."
