I like that idea of suspending my thoughts... I think you have point because when you are an academic you tend to over analyse sometimes. I will try to continue the journey as best I can. :) LUke Thanks Fazrul,

We have our mind to strategize, but we know so little for what's going to happen the best in the future. Between those two, Peter M Senge mentioned about 'suspending your thoughts' so you can emerge between what in your mind and what should be the reality - to happen. Our heart has the ability to detect the truth in the real world, much better than the brain which does the calculation. I would suppose to plan the best, but when you start to take action, take it easy for 'upperhand' or 'system' to adjust you to the best direction. Fighting the wind is not the best strategy when you drive 70-100 mph on the freeway. You have the ability, but you will get tired soon or your car will be blown away. Be flexible - but destination is still there. If tired, have a rest and continue the journey. Too much on our side to plan make us fatigue. I agree with you about emergent.

The more I hear from you the more I realise that you one smart man. I think your thinking about rationalisation is spot on. For me this means two things... 1. that we pay absolutely no attention to intuition in decision making... 2. That "advanced precognition" is probably the way in which most decisions are made... take Soros as example... who is said to have backaches when he makes important financial decisions! Thanks Alan... hope 2009 brings you a lot of joy. Thanks Alan same to you for 2009. The more I hear from you the more I realise that you one smart man.

I think it goes back to what I've said before about rationalisation. The logic of the situation emerges more easily AFTER you've found the solution. We had a similar experience to yours with our cat. And I'm sure it happens all the time with people finding a home, or a life-partner, as well as better business models. But...it seems to me that you cannot shortcut the process. We can learn to intuit more, to think more laterally, to accept that our "advanced precognition" is worth bearing in mind, since the mind is much more than the little voice in our heads, and all the little things that make a big difference are in there somewhere before we turn our attention to them...but (article of faith) the future isn't out there unless we care enough to make it happen! Take care! And have a healthy and prosperous 2009 :) Beautiful thinking!
