Thought Play

One of Einstein's famous sayings is, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

Most of the problems I have encountered in life seem to have been caused because of a deficiency in some resource, whether this was my motivation, time, money, the co-operation of others… 

I can say with the benefit of hindsight that I might have approached circumstances differently if I’d known then, what I know now… 

Life is lived forwards isn’t it? We do the best we can with whatever resources we have available to us in the moment. Furthermore, we don’t have the benefit of some sort of internal switch or mechanism to boost our intelligence and creativity and be ever-present so as to enable us to avoid bumps in the road and the struggles of life, do we? 

Would I want to avoid encountering any problems in life? Does struggle help me to grow as a human being? Does it make me more compassionate, valued or virtuous? Would life become boring without any problems? 

What causes problems to begin with? As I’ve said, there appears to be a deficiency of some sort involved, but is that just how it appears to me, because of the way that I am thinking? I realise how little I know about thought. Am I the one generating thought or am I simply decoding it in some way?

How does thought move? Is thought constant or can I change the way that I think about something? Does it pass through what it encounters (including me?) and will it perceive something differently, according to an angle or perhaps the frequency at which it proceeds? 

Movement… frequency, wait, is that what Einstein meant when he suggested that we can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thought? Did he mean that we have to literally change the relationship that we have with thought, in order for it to perceive what it encounters in such a way that a solution becomes apparent? Could it be possible that every question contains its own answer, if we could simultaneously be still and listen?
