Images produce breakthroughs

May 2, 2023

Humans have been accessing inner images since pre-historic times when tribes painted visions onto cave walls.

Psychologist David Premack writes, “The original and basic unit of mental activity, which remains the psyche’s preferred way of operating, is the image.”

And in the case of every scientific discovery which has been researched carefully, it has been found that it was imagery, either in dreams or in the waking state, which produced the breakthrough.

Maybe we should pay more attention to the power of images?
