In Sandy Sims' book How Frank Lloyd Wright Got Into My Head, Under
My Skin And Changed The Way I Think About Thinking: A Creative
Thinking Blueprint For The 21st Century, Sandy - who considers
himself to be an average guy next door - describes the journey we
are all being called to take. Sandy struggled in a mid-life crisis
to make a go of a Honolulu-based advertising agency. After he met a
psychiatrist, Kerry Monick, MD, on a blind date, he was thrust down
the rabbit hole on a metaphorical journey into the unknown - a
world of self-discovery, full of engaging people and entirely new
methods of thinking. To that point his thinking patterns had
produced results, but he was still plagued by fear, worry and
doubt. When he learned to let go, life saw him practicing new
manifestation principles, gaining confidence increment by
increment, and finally risking it all in pursuit of a dream. Kerry
had catalyzed Sandy's journey, and once FLW was written they
together felt that some key pointers for these chaotic times would
be extremely helpful for readers. Using Sandy's journey as a
springboard, they wrote Creative Thinking For The 21st Century: An
Experiential Guidebook to focus on a few salient ideas that can
make a big difference. For example, why do we make the choices we
do about how to think? Is there a more useful approach? Mystics
knew, but could not demonstrate their knowledge in scientific
terms. This gap is closing. Quantum physics is slowly revealing the
how. As we begin to see, through science, that what we purposefully
think about does indeed affect the material world, it becomes clear
that it is essential to bring mindfulness to the process. If our
thoughts have consequences, how do we effectively shape them? How
do we avoid unintended consequences? How long do thoughts take to
manifest, and what sometimes stands in their way? Is it possible
that we have help available to us via the collective unconscious,
and, if so, how do we improve the connections? Does becoming
connected eventually put us in touch with the flow of life and a
sense that we are part of a larger tapestry? With a few questions,
self-inventory evaluations, and new points of view we can harness
key principles, learn to trust our intuition and gain more
understanding of this new territory. We can see that we have been
more the architects of our lives than we might have imagined - what
we have intentionally thought about or dwelled upon has played out
in many cases. No matter how big the challenge we face, we can
learn - starting from here - how to make our ordinary daily life
extraordinary. This short and easy guidebook might catalyze a
trigger point in you. If it does it will have been well worth the
read.
