7 Methods For Effortless Subconscious Idea Incubation — Part 02

Our goal, with this essay, is to go over seven methods you can use for effortless idea incubation.

Or, should we say, effortless Subconscious idea incubation.

You can find the first essay, which goes over these ideas, at this particular link.

And, with the above out of the way, let’s dive right in!

Method 01: Information Absorption

Our first method is, in fact, two methods.

Right off the bat, the first method involves coming up with some of the topics, themes, and ideas — ad infinitum, we’ll say — that interest you.

Some of my own, personal favorites are as follows:

• Consciousness
• Infinity
• Play
• Manifesting
• Imagination
• Mathematics
• Language
• Music
• Film
• Transcendence

And, well, you get the idea.

Right after you make this list, you can dive into information pertaining to what you’ve outlined.

Some of the ways you might dive into this information are as follows:

• Watching videos/documentaries on what you listed.
• Reading online articles/essays on what you listed.
• Going into bits and pieces from books about what you listed.
• Journaling about what you have listed.
• Conversing with others about what you have listed.

And so on and so forth.

The ultimate goal of this method is to overflow your Subconscious with all of the information — and, ideally, inspiration and awe and enthusiasm, among other feelings — it needs to flow.

To flow and, in flowing, to grow and create and make — ad infinitum; you get the idea — new ideas.

Or, again, concepts and/or notions and/or paracosms; ad infinitum.

If you conduct this method, then you will succeed.

Or, at least, that’s been my experience.

Outside of that first method, though, there is another method you can use.

And, this method involves absorbing lots of information within a relatively short period of time.

Just as an example, taking five different books and, then, reading bits and pieces of them for thirty-minutes or so.

You can choose books — among other forms of media and things of that nature — that interest you.

Or, you can choose books that don’t interest you at all.

No matter what, the ultimate goal is to give your Subconscious the information it needs to begin flowing in a new direction that, by its very nature, allows new ideas to arise with remarkable ease.

Just like the first method, if you conduct this second method then, if my experience is any indication, you will succeed.

Method 02: Feeling Is The Secret

Out of all the writers that have inspired me, Neville Goddard may very well have been one of the most influential.

And, that is why the title of this section is lifted from Goddard’s 1944 book: Feeling Is The Secret.

You see, it is Goddard’s contention, and mine, that feeling is a creative force.

A creative force that interacts with your Subconscious — and, for that matter, other forces and energies; among other such things — allowing for all manner of desires, yearnings, intentions — ad infinitum — to arise.

Or, if not to arise, then to manifest and present themselves and materialize; ad infinitum.

To employ this particular method, then, you can consider what you desire.

You may wish to obtain ideas for a particular purpose. Or, you may yearn for a state of inspiration that allows for a new paracosm to come forth.

And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

No matter what you desire — and, even if you aren’t sure, a general idea is more than sufficient — you can employ a particular feeling that allows this desire to arise.

Out of all the feelings available to you, my personal favorite is gratitude.

You can feel grateful that you have received what you desired.

And, to feel grateful, you might think of ten things you appreciate about what you have received.

Or, you might simply say “Thank you,” to God or the Creative Spirit or, of course, your Subconscious Mind, for the new concepts that came to you.

Even a simple affirmation — “I really love and appreciate these new ideas” — can be, and often is, more than sufficient.

Really, the possibilities are vast and infinite.

To illustrate this method — and, in turn, the seventh method, which is quite similar to this one — just one month ago, a desire came to me: two new creativity games.

Just two new creativity games.

And, to conjure these creativity games — to incubate them, as one might say and perhaps, given the title of this essay, should say — a list was written.

A gratitude list containing ten items regarding my appreciation of these methods and what they allowed for.

The list was written quickly, and with relative haste.

But, there was a vague feeling of appreciation and satisfaction.

Soon enough — within the hour, if memory serves — two new creativity games came to me.

The two new creativity games were as follows: combining a particular idea with aesthetic elements from a favored work of fiction and, then, a game centered on simplifying things/processes.

No, those may not sound unique. But, they are very, very fun!

Method 03: Ask Your Dreams

Your dreams emanate from your Subconscious.

Or, at least, that is one perspective.

You can ask your dreams — and, in turn, your Subconscious — for new ideas.

Or, again, inspiration and concepts and notions and paracosms; ad infinitum.

To accomplish this, you can take out a sheet of paper and write “Dear Dream Source…” followed by something along the lines of “I am asking for new ideas tonight.”

Or, you can write something more meaningful and elaborate.

Really, the specifics don’t matter very much, so long as you set some sort of intention.

Just as an example, one of my most successful letters was “To my Dreams, the giver of Gifts, I ask for a lovely, rich, beautiful dream that resonates so very deeply and inspires me with a wealth of new ideas. Thank you so much, my dear, dear friend!”

Right within this letter, there was a sense of gratitude but, also, curiosity.

A rich curiosity that excited me and, in turn, allowed me to become enraptured with the contents of the dream that arose as a result of this letter.

You can also pray to your Subconscious or, my personal favorite, the Dream Source.

You can pray for a beautiful, rich dream that serves as a source of guidance and possibility and creativity.

Or, perhaps, just some new ideas; the possibilities are, of course, infinite.

Method 04: Go On A Walk

Sometimes, all you need is the vague desire for new ideas.

Just let the desire flow through your mind.

And, then, go on a walk.

You can walk and walk and, in doing so, all manner of inner and outer processes will flow together, allowing new ideas to be grown from within the infinite gardens of yourself.

Or, you can walk for just a little bit and allow these new ideas to arise.

Really, the possibilities are quite vast.

Compared to the other sections, this one is quite short. And, that’s for one simple reason: this always seems to work, but it’s hard to say why it works or, for that matter, what’s necessary.

Given this fact, if you wish to employ this method, you should just let the desire for ideas flow through your mind and, then, in going on your walk, allow yourself to enjoy the experience.

If you do so, it is likely that you will receive at least one or two new ideas.

Method 05: The Power Of Randomness

To facilitate Subconscious idea incubation, you can absorb lots of information.

But, of course, this is just one method.

Sometimes, absorbing lots of information is unnecessary.

Rather, sometimes, all that’s needed are a few little bits of information.

Just a few little bits of information can serve as the spark that ignites a vast wealth of creative processes.

Some of the ways you can light this spark, and ignite these processes, are as follows:

• Open up a book and find three random passages.
• Use the Tarot or I Ching, among other divinatory systems.
• Go on a walk and try to notice three new things.
• Walk around a familiar space and try to notice three new things.
• Choose three random words and see what the combination leads to.

And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

You can mix and match these tools in the ways that you would like to.

No matter what you do, though, the essence of this method is as follows: harnessing the power of randomness and, in turn, novelty, to incubate all manner of new ideas from within yourself.

Method 06: Play A Game

Our sixth method is not unlike our fourth method.

Rather than going on a walk, though, you can play a game.

Some of my favorite games to play, for Subconscious idea incubation, are as follows:

• Unreal Tournament
• Peggle
• Tetris
• Call Of Duty
• Super Mario Bros.

And so on and so forth.

Every single one of these grabs my attention, yet gives me plenty of space to think and meditate.

No, more often than not, these thoughts and meditations fail to lead anywhere.

Or, at least, that appears to be the case and, then, the thoughts and meditations collide with my immersion within the game, allowing for a wealth of new ideas to arise with remarkable ease.

Seriously, if you haven’t tried this before, you should.

You may be surprised with the ease in which new ideas arise.

Method 07: Go To The End

A fitting title for our final method.

Or, at least, that’s my perspective.

Our seventh method is quite similar to our second method.

To conduct this method, you must consider what you truly desire.

Given the theme of this essay, it is likely that you desire ideas.

But, perhaps, you desire something else.

You may desire a rich state of inspiration that leads to effortless ideas.

Or, you may desire ideas that evoke rich awe and inspiration.

And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

Regardless of what you desire, you must be, on some level, aware of it.

Or, if you can’t be, then a general idea is more than sufficient.

Just as an example, you may yearn for inspiration that is centered on an idea or experience.

Right after you become aware of what you desire, you must go to the end.

You must go into the moment after you have received/created — you get the idea — what you desire.

And, in order for you to go to the end, you can do just about anything.

Seriously.

Or, at least, “Seriously,” within the context of feelings, sensations, and emotions.

You can, as with the second method, develop a gratitude list regarding the satisfaction of your intention.

Or, you can conduct an inner conversation/monologue where you go over your satisfaction over what has arisen.

Just as an example, you can appreciate the new ideas you have received and appreciate just how satisfied you are with them and what you are doing with them.

The possibilities are vast and infinite.

No matter what you choose, you must give it your attention.

No, not necessarily all of your attention, but a good portion of it.

And, if you allow yourself to feel, on some level, that it is done or that it will be done, then it will be.

You will receive the ideas — among an infinite wealth of other possibilities, of course — that you desire.

Just go to the end and, if you can do that for a moment or two, you will succeed.

Conclusion

Our second part has come to an end.

And, now, we are moving on to the third, and final, part.
