Some advice for getting around "the Squelcher" is to make a game of whatever you're trying to do. In the arena of learning and problem solving, we tend to become fixated on what should be the right approach or (worse) what we think the answer should be - as opposed to allowing it to be what it is. The _PhotoReading_ book discusses the "beginner's mind", which is really, I think, what you're trying to cultivate. Try to take the attitude of "I don't know" or "gee, I wonder if...". Walk around for an hour and try to look at things as if you've never seen them before. Ask yourself questions about them. Don't take what you've learned to date for granted.
A great "model" for some of this behavior is "The Pretender" from the early episodes. The show is on TNT, Monday-Friday at 7:00 PM.
There is a lot of information out there in the field of creativity that overlaps your question. Exercises like brain storming, Image Streaming, etc. can help to develop the ability to get a good flow of material from the deep mind. I would advise playing with these techniques for a little while, making sure that you maintain a sense of play the entire time. Be a child.

I have another interesting (off) topic, at least for me 
I hope you can be also clear on this one: Win Wenger calles it 'The squelcher', others will call it a control freak behaviour. Not able to trust completely on subconscious processes. Even after NLP courses and subliminals I still suffer 
In the past it probably had its uses, but now I can do without. What subliminals (and in what order) and/or what NLP exercises can you advice me? (This is so much better than the doctor's office 
)
