Thinking outside of the box

The mind rapidly assembles pieces of information to form a solution. The solution may be an answer to a problem, filling gaps in a process, eliminating waste of material or energy, or reassembly of information to produce an application needed. An objective as to what is missing or needed forms in the mind, the mind starts filling in the missing puzzle pieces until an intelligible picture forms. There is often a sensation of having the solution but having to think the process backwards to fill in missing steps.
Creative thinking in writing is different, and it happens too fast at and a more linear level to describe. Creative expression in art is also difficult to describe, since it is the expression that I notice, not the thinking that precedes it. In art, I often have the sensation that the image is creating itself.

Creative thinking is like inventing stuff. Inventing something that might work, or imagining something. It's okay too to imagine something that doesn't exist and never will.
After all, the things that don't exist far outnumber the things that do...
Me, I hear a lot of religious stuff, pro and con everything, on Yahoo Answers; and I now have a religion that's imaginary. It's imaginary and it's fun. Creative thinking sort of.

Getting to a solution to a problem by using unorthodox or limited resources (resources not used for their original purpose).
A really good example is the Allied POW in WW2. They had to plan escapes, manufacture tools, hid dirt, create authentic paperwork, civilian cloths with very little materials.

Creative thinking is thought that arises from a deeper level of intelligence when the surface level is Silent.
It is a means of going beyond the known (the known is the content of your surface mind).

Thinking out of the box - lateral thinking - thinking like a child who doesn't have pre-conceptions - try to avoid approaching things from the usual angles, because they probably derive from too much formal training and pre-conditioning - try spontaneity and impulse instead of the intellectual approach - try common sense instead of logic.

The symbiotic relationship between right and left brain, the ability to freely roam back and forth in a rythmic, beautifull invisible dance

A person without any "fixation" is a creative thinker.
