Innovation and creativity often start with the mingling of divergent ideas or the marriage of the old and new. How do you get your creative juices flowing?

Some theorists hold that novel ideation is accidental; others hold that novel linkages are essentially applications of inaccurate analogy (neural sorting finds something similar but dissimilarity also appears)… Visual and musical arts surely relate in some deep way to the fundamental “this is like…” process. I find this to be going on all the time… universally, we see faces in the clouds, and so forth. The creativity is, I think, originated in that seeing of something that is projected as a hypothetical interpretation of perceptions. BUT, since this is not a conscious/verbal intention, it is best stimulated or allowed into awareness by just letting it happen…
