According to Nikola Tesla our brains aren't the originator of ideas but rather instruments like an antenna that tap into the source to receive information and creativity. He believed we were part of a much larger existence where everything is connected and where inspiration comes from beyond one's individual mind. The idea is by expanding our own consciousness we are receiving information that has been there all along but we were unable to perceive and access previously. "My brain is only a receiver in the universe, there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength, and inspiration." - Nikola Tesla
