Is there a universe of ideas wafting about, just waiting in 'the cloud' (translation: quantum field of possibilities) for us to pluck them literally out of thin air? The answer is YES!

As an expert on genius and quantum innovation, I know that ideas are like dandelion puffs, floating around in the quantum field waiting to be seeded into the fertile landscape of someone's passion. Then the inner genius takes over to sprout those ideas into all manner of new ideas and revolutionary breakthroughs.

To access these unformed ideas, one has to ...

• be willing to extend the mind beyond the current thinking,
  
• allow something 'new' to just drop into you and
  
• be amazed by the wonder of a quantum field filled with new'ness just waiting there for you to pluck genius from it.
  

I know this to be true from years of experience of pulling new words, concepts, ideas and innovation from this field of limitless possibilities. I suppose you could ponder that this might be God's think tank of possibilities for life. You could wonder at the marvel of it all and then dive in with glee to see what's on offer there for you. But what you can't do is think your way to this.

Consider our miraculous brains, the parts we use anyways, as software-filled computers, holding as much knowledge as we can pack into them. But if that brain (your stand alone computer) isn't hooked up to the quantum field (the infinite internet of ideas & possibilities), then what you get is simply some version of what you already know. An improvement of what is without the quantum leap of new'ness that's just bursting to come through you.

It's an art form this, learning to surrender the thinking brain and all that you currently know, to allow true breakthrough genius to come to you. But I can tell you that there's nothing more exciting than this as you allow yourself to make a fabulous relationship with the infinite universe of ideas that can elevate life for us all.

I am a wordsmith. I absolutely love language and the possibilities it offers us to redesign and innovate ourselves as communities, societies, businesses and the world.

I see how often current language forms can box us in and create constructs that minimise our creativity flow and limit our innovational output.

For example, take the word 'manager' in a business setting. Manager implies managing people and projects, as if it's all up to you to ensure this happens. Yes I know that's true, but what if that term was replaced by something like 'empowerer' or i'nspirer' or 'collaborative facilitator'. These are just suggestions and I'm hoping as you read them that you can feel the release of the constructs attached to the old word and the free flow of possibility in the new ones.

Here's another example. The word 'human' identifies us as a separate species from let's say whales or bees or trees, etc. It makes us a distinct species and as a result, built into the language, is the construct of separation. So what if all life on Earth was dubbed as 'Earthians', a word that connects us as one species on this planet ,all working towards common goals for the good of the Earth and life upon it? You can feel the power that single word shift has to allow us to find a new way to be together globally. It opens up collaboration, cross species understanding and more care for the Earth.

Then there are words that trigger certain responses, words like 'social justice' (which is a wonderful concept fraught with all that is hidden within the language). It infers, built into its construct of our understanding, righting wrongs through an adversarial approach. That may not be its exact definition, but over time it's what gets built into the phrase based on our collective experiences with it. What if we could replace those two words with something like 'equitable inclusion' or 'social design innovation'? Would suddenly the adversarial / right-wrong approach dwindle away with the new language? I believe it would because language is an incredibly powerful, alchemical fabricator of life for us all.

Where does one go then to find new language to evoke things like better working relationships, enhanced connection and equitable inclusion throughout the world?

These new terms await us in what I call the field of potential & possibilities that swirl all around us at all times. It's this field that genius innovators tap to pull through unprecedented breakthroughs in idea generation, solving challenges and highly creative approaches to design and innovation.

To tap this field, one simply has to surrender the thinking mind and plug yourself into it, like plugging your computer into the internet. For now, simply intend this and see what happens. We might each do this in a variety of unique ways because that's the nature of us as infinite creators. What works for one may occur completely differently for everyone else. It's more about finding your own unique engagement with the field of potential & possibilities, about understanding that sometimes it's the invisible stuff that carries the power of the moment to bring new innovation through.

I am an innovation mentor who loves working with people to unleash genius ideas and birth innovational breakthroughs. Find out more at Innovation Mentor.

Innovation does not come from a finely trained mind. The opposite in fact. Innovation is about pulling ideas and possibilities out of thin air. It's an invisible art form you might say. It takes ...

• you being willing to brush away all the box load of training you have.
  
• opening up wildly to something new pouring through you. 
  
• a willingness to unleash that something deep inside you (let's call it genius shall we) and to pour that out into the world.
  
• a boldness of initiative to call an idea forth for all to see. 
  
• an alignment to great things coming through you now.
  
• a willingness to play and bask in what I like to call the quantum field of possibility.
  

It's here in this field, this 'cloud' of the unformed potential of us all, that brilliance awaits us all. Anyone and everyone can access this field and anyone and everyone can be an innovator in whatever area of expertise calls to them.

When you call a new idea or possibility from the 'cloud', sometimes it comes to you fully formed and ready to roll into the world. Sometimes it comes like a drip drip drip, until some time later you discover you're standing right in the middle of a brilliant idea, a revolutionary solution, a genius new that's never been before. This is INNOVATION! This is what will reshape our world in the coming years and decades as the human race discovers its ability to engage in the creation of new possibilities with benefit for us all.

Want to unleash your innovational talent? I'm an innovation mentor and would love to work with you.
