Unleash Your Creativity with Random Word Stimulation

Random Word Stimulation

Random Word Stimulation, as its name implies, invokes words at random. There is no connection between the words, no sequence, no context, and most importantly, Random Word Stimulation is completely illogical. Random Word Stimulation is essentially a search for context to create new meaning.

Individual words will always trigger their associated memories, the reaction is automatic and inevitable. Once you define a subject to generate new ideas about, exposure to the stimulus of random words will incite your mind to associate subject and word together. Usually there is no obvious logical connection but the force that drives the mind to associate thoughts is so strong that the search is performed regardless, and in the subsequent chaos new ideas begin to emerge.

Random Word Stimulation provides a well defined, easy to use, self guided method of generating new ideas by directly stimulating the brain’s natural capacity to think laterally. Everyone in search of new ideas can use this very simple and incredibly effective technique. Results are immediate, even to a beginner, and will improve in both quantity and quality with regular practice.

Your subconscious mind is a powerful ally with a vast storehouse of information to draw from, and together with your imagination, can be utilized in a deliberate manner to achieve outstanding results in situations were Logic alone is hopelessly inadequate.

The Conditioned Response to Reject

The fundamental function of the brain is its ability to associate thoughts and recognize associations that are meaningful and significant. We are conditioned never to stray from the rules of Logic. We are conditioned to believe that to be RIGHT IS GOOD and valuable, and to be WRONG IS BAD and worthless. We are conditioned to accept associations that are logical and immediately reject associations that are illogical. Blind obedience to the rules Logic literally programs the brain to respond with these habitual conditioned behaviors.

Many of the associations triggered by Random Word Stimulation, and the ideas they are sure to generate, will not make immediate sense in relation to your subject. New ideas often at first seem illogical, absurd, or completely irrelevant. Our minds have been trained to make sense of things. Thoughts that do not make sense trigger the conditioned response to discard these ideas as frivolous fantasy, unworthy of further contemplation. Once discarded the potential value they are sure to contain is lost forever.

Learning to recognize this conditioned response as it happens, and bring it under managed control is essential. Always remember - Something that initially seems like nonsense, can actually make a new and wondrous perfect sense when viewed in light of a new context.

Successfully generating new innovative and original ideas is achieved in direct proportion to your willingness to temporarily suspend the urge to discard new ideas and allow your mind the freedom to explore for new contexts that lead somewhere useful.

Learning to use Random Word Stimulation

Learning to use Random Word Stimulation is actually very simple, its effect on the mind is automatic and inevitable. The only difficulty is in forcing yourself to change a behavior. Achieving consistent results depends entirely on learning a single basic skill. You must find a way to circumvent the conditioned response of rejecting thoughts that do not make sense and allow yourself the freedom to explore them regardless. Catch the moment when you judge "this does not make sense" and simply change it to a question of "how COULD this make sense?".

It is important to realize this is not as much a matter of learning as it is a matter of un-learning.
No amount of explanation will show you the way. Your brain already knows full well how to use Random Word Stimulation, it will show you the way itself if you let it. The rejection response develops in each of us, refined over many years, it is very personal and unique to the individual.

Paradoxically, it is often those of high intelligence and extensive education that have more difficulty since their indoctrination to Logic is equally extensive. Whatever the case, there is no doubt that practicing Random Word Stimulation will continually prompt your rejection response and thereby provide endless opportunities to find your own way forward.

Cultivating Proper Attitude

Looking for ways to make sense from thoughts that seem illogical may offend your established sensibilities. You may feel embarrassed or otherwise uncomfortable thinking in ways outside the realm of normal social acceptability.

There is a very simple and enjoyable way bypass these unproductive negative feelings and acquire the proper attitude for practicing Random Word Stimulation.

Humor is an art that achieves its success as a measure of how extreme it departs from conventional norms. A skilled practitioner can deploy humor not merely to entertain, but also to reveal greater meaning to a familiar subject by altering the context from which the subject is normally viewed.

Random Word Stimulation favors and encourages a humored carefree attitude. Humor effectively neutralizes negative emotions that restrict freedom of thought. Humor is not bound by the rules of Logic and so inspires the mind to release from any long held fears or inhibitions and boldly engage in unfettered exploration.

Random Word Stimulation sessions should be relaxing, enjoyable, and entertaining. This is not to say everything should be treated as a joke. Humor in no way undermines or trivializes even the most serious of subjects, and simply allowing yourself a moment to indulge in unbridled freedom of thought can lead to astounding revelations.

Far Reaching Benefits

Random Word Stimulation is extremely effective at generating new ideas about any subject, but there is a more significant benefit. Given time and regular practice, the brain adapts to this exciting new way of thinking and gradually restores the brain's natural organic balance - The synergistic blend of creativity and critical thinking working together in perfect harmony.

Random Word Stimulation ALWAYS produces results. The ONLY possible way that Random Word Stimulation can fail - Is if you yourself deliberately prevent it from succeeding.
