The Power of Visual Thinking!

Visual thinking and it’s power is not something new but is one of the ancient powers of the human mind at both conscious and unconscious levels. It is through the same power that humanity was blessed with the following innovations.

1. Kekule‘s doze-dream, about intertwined snakes swallowing their own tails in his fireplace, taught him the structure of the benzene ring, basis of all organic chemistry.

2. Elias Howe‘s nightmare of cannibals attacking, whose spears happened to have holes in their heads, gave him his a-ha! for the sewing machine he had been laboring for so long to invent.

3. Nicola Tesla‘s in-head visual predictions gave us our electric power system and a major part of the electronics industry and way of life.

4. Einstein‘s “train ride on a beam of light” taught him–and us–his theories of relativity which remade the whole of physics and helped remake the whole of science.
