A short talk asserting that humans are connected to a ‘higher intelligence’ and that many important discoveries and creative works (e.g., Nikola Tesla’s inventions; Robbie Williams’ song) originated in dreams. The speaker argues that these insights come from outside the individual brain and that people should learn to access this dreaming/state-of-connection intentionally to channel new ideas.

So science is showing that we at a fundamental level are deeply connected, but we're not just connected with each other. We're connected with a higher intelligence. And this is the source of so much insight. Tesla did this. There's a movie right now out about Nikola Tesla, Edison and George Westinghouse. It's called the Current Wars. And in that movie, there's a scene where Tesla invents a moto completely in his head. That motto went on to change America and. And as the reason Elon Musk named his car Tesla. Right. But so many great discoveries came in dreams. Robbie Williams, the famous singer, said his song Better man came to him in a dream where John Lennon came up to him and gave him the lyrics for that song. So there are all of these fascinating stories of dreams, but what if we can access that state at will and channel new ideas? These men had access to knowledge outside the human brain. It's time all of us learn to tap into this.
