How Salvador Dali’s Creative Thinking Idea Could Help You Get More Money On Medium, Too!
People have used his technique to increase their income!
Salvador Dali’s art is famous all over the world because it’s intriguing, mysterious, and always fascinating. He is one of the great artists who relied on his own vision and mind to create art that to this day astounds people of all ages. He didn’t use a computer program, too, and I am sure that he influenced tons of visual and media artists worldwide.
Who was Dali? Dali was born May 11, 1904-January 23, 1989, and was a Spanish surrealist artist, and was famous for his technical skill and imaginative, and often bizarre images in his work. He was influenced by impressionism and the Renaissance masters, as well as Cubism and the avant-garde movements. His artistic themes are diverse and include dreams, the subconscious, sexuality, religion, science, and his closest personal relationships. If you want to catch some of his art, he would have to travel to the Dali museum in Figueres, Spain, or the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
I am a huge fan of his art and I also feel transported into a different world just by looking at one of his paintings online.
Dali was not only a genius, but he was also generous. He left behind his brilliant artistic legacy and also a creative thinking process that many people have used to help them succeed in their endeavors.
The creative process itself is a bit strange but simple.
- Sit in a chair and place a tin plate on the floor.
- Hold a spoon over the plate.
- Relax your body and try to fall asleep.
The moment you start to doze off, the spoon will land on the plate and make a noise, waking you up. As soon as you wake up, you will see images that flow out of your unconscious. Write down what you see and these images will also bring forth thoughts and ideas that will help release the answers to your issues.
Before you begin, start off with a challenge that you are facing. Consider one issue at a time. Push it away and relax. Quiet your mind and be passive. In a while, you will drop the spoon and be awakened by the noise of the tin. Once you wake up, be ready to record your images and thoughts, which could recede rapidly.
A restaurant owner tried this technique and kept seeing neon images of different foods, such as neon ice cream, neon pickles, neon coffee, and so on. He associated the images with food promotions, and now has free food items with neon signs. He also used the images to devise a frequent eater program that has helped his business do well.
Another business owner used the technique and added a coffee section to his funeral business.
The great artist wrote about his amazing method in his 1948 book, 50 Secrets Of Magic Craftmanship. His prose will explain “the secrets of sleeping while awake” in a way that will cause many people to be intrigued by his method.
Recent research shows that Dali’s strange method is backed by a research study that had volunteers take part in solving math problems. Those who took the micro naps were three times more likely to figure out the problem-solving trick than those who didn’t nap.
Dali would have been a bit irked by the need to study his method. He would have probably said, “I told you so!”
