If I'm interpreting what you're saying correctly, we have different concepts of creativity. It would seem that your concept is more aligned with the idea that creativity is a gift from the muses. This would imply (to my thinking) that creativity cannot be taught. Is that a misinterpretation? Based on my readings, true creativity is attainable by anyone once they move beyond the easy answers and the quick thoughts. Creative people have more connections but that is because they continue make connections and looking for new connections long after the "non-creative" people have satisfied themselves with the first thought that popped into their heads.
Having said all that, you're probably right that I'm expecting too much in thinking that ABC lists should be creative. The point isn't to be creative but to build connections, threads, links whatever. Creativity will come later. Thank you for that point.
I like your experience with alpha. I need to spend more time pursuing that angle. I do know that I image stream better (accidentally) while listening to paraliminals than when I am trying consciously to image stream. (The images are much more vivid and spontaneous). I assumed that could be because I was in a state of alpha when flowing with the paraliminal.
