ESP and problem solving

Extrasensory Perception (ESP) can be defined as an awareness of, or response to, an external event or influence not apprehended by presently known sensory means.

Note the emphasis in the definition on presently known sensory means and the lack of a mystical quality to the definition.

Extrasensory perception can further be broken down into four categories:

a) Telepathy, direct passing of information from one person's mind to another person's mind.

b) Clairvoyance, direct passing of information from matter to mind.

c) Psychokinesis, mind over matter.

d) Precognition, direct obtaining of information of the future.

At least one of these, precognition, can be tied into the intuitive/creative method of generating ideas.

With precognition, information is obtained from, or about, the future. In creative thinking or innovation the essential feature is that the path or method to the solution was not known beforehand.

Psychologists tell us that it is the unconscious that is operating to search out these unknown paths, methods, and approaches that lead to the creative idea, to the revolutionary invention, or to the brilliant solution.

The creative idea does not happen by accident. The mind organizes the experiences, facts, and relationships that it has stored in its banks, and stretches out to utilize all information it can get. But the creative idea comes from a mind that has information that it organizes into a path that has not been taken before. Precognition is one way that information not available to those other thinkers working with the normal channels and sources of information comes to creative people.

Now, decision makers are also problem solvers and idea generators. Therefore it would be expected that the superior idea generators, the creative idea generators, would turn out to be more precognitive or intuitive. Preliminary test data gathered by the PSI Communications Project are pointing in this direction.
