My point being that Einstein, one of the most brilliant minds of the 20th Century. The epitome of rational thought and logical thinking believed that "imagination" was superior. Now when I think of imagination I think of a level of thought beyond forms. Unbound by structure or preconception. He may not have been referring to the holy zen concept of no thought but he did reference often that he would stop thinking and the ideas would come. His "unconscious" the "collective unconscious" ? Some way of being outside of his brain.
“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” I'm completely in the dark regarding your thoughts on this man.
