Čārlzam Darvinam bija viens no lielākajiem "aha!" mirkļi visā vēsturē, rakstot savu magnum opus On The Origin of Species . Izlasot grāmatu, kas rakstīta pirms 40 gadiem par populācijas pieaugumu un resursu konkurenci, Darvins uzreiz saskatīja saistību ar atšķirībām starp sugām, ko viņš bija novērojis Galapagos, un voila , radās dabiskās atlases teorija.
"Dārvins izlasa šo grāmatu un saka: "Oho, tas ir viss!" Tas ir piemērs "aha!" iegūt jauno informāciju, saskatīt sekas un redzēt, kā tā atbilst," The Huffington Post stāsta kognitīvais psihologs Gerijs Kleins, grāmatas Seeing What Others Don't: The Remarkable Ways We Gain Insights autors . "Tā bija negaidīta viņa izpratnes maiņa."
Šīs epifānijas un pēkšņas skaidrības uzplaiksnījumi mēdz nākt visnegaidītākajos brīžos. Tātad, vai mēs varam kontrolēt šīs atziņas, un vai ir kāds veids, kā apmācīt smadzenes, lai tās vairāk pielāgotos tām? Ieskats var būt negaidīts, taču patiesībā mēs varam iemācīt sev saskatīt sakarības, kuras citi, iespējams, nepamanīs.
"Ieskats ir negaidīta pāreja tajā, kā mēs saprotam lietas," saka Kleins. "Tas nāk bez brīdinājuma. Tas nav kaut kas tāds, par ko mēs domājam, ka tas notiks, un tāpēc tas ir negaidīti. Tā šķiet kā dāvana, un patiesībā tā arī ir."
Šeit ir piecas lietas, kas jums jāzina par ieskatu — un veidi, kā radīt vairāk "aha!" mirkļi tavā dzīvē.
Esi ziņkārīgs.
Ziņkārība ir labākais veids, kā kļūt ieskatīgākam, saka Kleins, un izpratnes trūkums bieži rodas pasīvā un neieinteresētā prāta stāvoklī.
"Ziņkārība ir vēl viens ieskatu dzinējspēks," saka Kleins. "Cilvēki, kas gūst ieskatu, redz kaut ko, kas ir nedaudz novirzīts, un tā vietā, lai to ignorētu, viņi par to interesējas. Zinātkāre notur mūsu prātu, lai noskaidrotu sekas."
Ļaujiet prātam klīst.
2012. gadā veikts psiholoģisks pētījums atklāja, ka sapņošana — lai arī pasīva, lai arī tā varētu šķist — ir saistīta ar ļoti aktīvu smadzeņu stāvokli, tāpēc klejojošais prāts dažkārt var paklupt uz izcilām atziņām un pēkšņām saiknēm. Pētnieki šo fenomenu piedēvē tam, ka sapņošana korelē ar mūsu spēju atcerēties informāciju, saskaroties ar traucēkļiem. Nesenie neirozinātnes pētījumi arī atklāja, ka sapņošana ietver tos pašus smadzeņu procesus, kas saistīti ar iztēli un radošumu.
"Es uztraucos par cilvēkiem, kuri pavada visu savu tukšo laiku, kad viņi nepiedalās sarunās, klausoties mūziku vai aplādes vai tamlīdzīgas lietas, un neatstāj vietu, lai tikai sapņotu," saka Kleins.
Pievērsiet uzmanību sakritībām.
"Esiet uzmanīgāks pret anomālijām," saka Kleins, "nevis ātri izskaidrojiet tās un palieciet savā komforta zonā."
Mēs mēdzam ignorēt sakritības vai nedomāt par tām daudz, jo tās bieži vien ir bezjēdzīgas, saka Kleins. Taču sakritību meklēšana ir spēcīgs veids, kā izveidot pārsteidzošas attiecības.
"Pastāv uzskats, ka korelācija nenozīmē cēloņsakarību, kas ir taisnība. Cilvēki saskata visu veidu korelācijas sakritībās, kas izrādās viltotas, tāpēc viņiem ir slikta reputācija," saka Kleins. "Taču manā darbā es atklāju, ka daudzas atziņas tiek iegūtas no tā, ka cilvēki pamana sakritības un izdara pieņēmumus, un tā vietā, lai tikai teiktu: "Tam ir jābūt patiesībai", veic papildu darbu, lai noskaidrotu, vai tā ir patiesība."
Uzmanīgi aplūkojiet pretrunas.
Ieskats var rasties, saskaroties ar idejām, kas mums nav jēgpilnas.
Pretrunu apšaubīšana ir vēl viens ceļš uz epifānijām. Tā kā zinātkāre liek mums brīnīties, pretrunas liek mums šaubīties, un tas var būt vēl viens spēcīgs veids, kā gūt ieskatu.
"Mūsu tendence, kad nonākam pretrunā, kas ietver lietas, kuras, mūsuprāt, labi saprotam, ir teikt:" Nu, tā ir anomālija. Mums ir brīnišķīgs paņēmienu kopums, lai izskaidrotu neērtus faktus," saka Kleins. "Pretruna noved pie ieskata tikai tad, kad cilvēki to uztver pietiekami nopietni, lai to mazliet izpētītu."
Rīkojieties atbilstoši savām atziņām.
Sapņošana nav vienīgais prāta stāvoklis, kas var radīt ieskatu.
"Esmu atradis vairākus piemērus, kad cilvēki bija pakļauti milzīgam spiedienam un nāca klajā ar brīnišķīgām atziņām," saka Kleins. "Mums vajadzētu pieņemt steidzamību."
Šī steidzamība liek cilvēkiem skatīties uz lietām, kuras viņi citādi ignorētu (ko Kleins dēvē par "radošo izmisumu"), un, kad viņi gūst ieskatu, mudina viņus nekavējoties rīkoties. Bieži vien šaha lielmeistari izmēģina neparastu gājienu, kas beidzas ar panākumiem un uzvar viņiem.
"Problēma ar pārāk daudzām organizācijām ir tā, ka tās nejūt nekādu spiedienu rīkoties, pamatojoties uz iegūtajām atziņām," saka Kleins. "Viņi rīkojas tā, it kā viņiem būtu viss pasaulē pavadītais laiks, un pēc tam viņi pārtrauc uzņēmējdarbību."

In my line of work I have to look for the bad things people do,hier I am reminded that people are actually good circumstance make them sometimes do bad things!
DailyGood helps me to be creative, innovative and stimulus to my thought process.
Be curious and Act on your insights have helped me a lot in my work-teaching
and interacting with people.
Travel extensively,speak to different kinds of people in distress,then we will be able to overcome many obstacles.
As a patient and student of deep psychotherapy it is my opinion that before it is possible to gain true value from these tips, before a brain can be trained to see the things others miss, a person must first become wholly aware of themselves, their part in the world and relationships, their impact on people and things around them. I believe that if you are not wholly aware of yourself you will always see the world through a filter.
In your article: "Train Your Brain To See What Others Don't See" you give the advises:
"Be curious, - Let your mind wander, - Pay attention to coincidences, - Look closely at contradictions, - Act on your insights."
I have some doubts that there are people who can follow this realizing and practicing what you say, in their daily life. From my experience with people over the last eighty years, I must say, that when people are told this, then it might be like saying to a person who has been blind all ones life: "Open your eyes and see!"
There was a man in humans history, who tried this two thousand years ago. It doesn't seem like he had succeeded, at least not with people in the years after, - up to our days...
So I would suggest, before telling an audience something like this, to find out first the basic condition of those people you are directing your advice and check if they are really capable to realize these advises in their daily life.
[Hide Full Comment]More clear and direct it would be, when you give the title: "How to *grow* within your daily life, so that your *Awareness* can expend in the most effective way, so that you see, what others don't see!" And then you can give practical advises people can easily follow. Then to those few between your audience, who are a step ahead of others and have started to have some doubts about their existence and their surrounding, you could give information about their condition in that they are stuck, telling them, that this is part of their survival need, keeping with what they are identified: Their established mindset, with all concepts, beliefs, knowledge and of course their precious self image. You can tell them, that they are trapped in an illusion and that their established mindset is the result of centuries of misinterpretation and manipulation and so they are trying to live a fake reality. You can tell them, that they are
unconsciously reacting out of their programs received during their life time from all influences. To all this they might not listen, but when you tell them, that all their suffering is the result of the dilemma, that what they want in life because of their programmed expectation and then they can't fulfill this in their daily life, - then they might listen. As every body is suffering more or less. But probably only those will really listen, who have suffered to such an extend, that they are at the end of their possibilities, - after they have used all available tricks to survive... Then you can freely give essential and creative advice, how to get out of this condition, to free oneself from the straitjacket of ones mindset and then indeed *see* what others can't!
By the way: I have been writing about this subject since many years and recently also at Face Book and Answers Yahoo, but nobody is interested. The same as with the place I have created here in the middle of the island Ibiza, in beautiful nature, for a group of people living
together, who might be interested in their *growing*. But now after forty years of struggling to find such people, I'm at the point to give up. People are just interested to be confirmed in their established mindset and not to go beyond this, using their 'brain' to *see*!...
I find another way to increase the mental process of connections is to share ideas out with others, sometimes discussions had just describing a protracted path of thought - what I'm realising over a series of months - can turn into a learning experience just listening to myself and feeding off the other person's thoughts and reactions. links and connections can suddenly appear from new perspectives.
thank you for writing and sharing. This is part of the being mindful as experience leads to seeing the interrelated aspect of everything. Which leads to more need "to share." I find these are strange days for messengers. As old media sources are called out, as trust is evaporating -many are feeling the "what the?" of cognitive dissonance and in the confusion will often "attack said messenger. i am working on ways to turn this from a fight model to a learning model . Any ideas appreciated!
Seeing differently has been a threat to "authority" a hellishly long time. Going forward is exciting, frustrating and full of "ahas" - almost daily these days...so worth it!! However, please, just be prepared. and Please share the insights gained. Our children, everyone's, all species, Life, the whole of consciousness, the whole of possibilities, wants us to show up, evolution depends on it (devolution is EZ) "do, be, do, be, do" (Amit Goswami) The more the merrier, the faster the better.
[Hide Full Comment]Another way is to engage in non-evaluative brainstorming that produces many possible next steps.
