There are two different kinds of ideas. Common ideas and great ideas. Common ideas are produced by ordinary life to serve our way of life well and are freely available to everybody in large quantities.
Great ideas, which are extremely rare to find, reach us from a different source that lies above ordinary life. Under the right circumstances they catch our attention and might make us think differently i.e.they help us think out of the box. If we treat them and handle them with respect, patience and care they might change us and take us beyond our imagination.
Unfortunately most of us in our relative state of consciousness are too busy shopping and assimilating common ideas until we are so full of them that there is no space left anymore for any great idea to possibly enter.
