   Thank you. I think that is very interesting. How often does that   
   happen in our daily lives - instantaneous idea transfer. As a matter   
   of fact I think you've coined a new term. IIT.  How often does an idea   
   just pop into your head, that seems crazy, but you do it and it works   
   out for the best?   
      
   I once read an NDE account from a guy who described something similar.   
   He said after the experience he began having these ideas-- about   
   things that he had never thought about before.  He described how he   
   made money in an unusual land deal. He was very excited by it, he said   
   he had never thought of things like it before his experience.   
      
   It also sounds very similar to the way many artists describe the   
   creative process. The muse. Songwriters often say that when they write   
   a great song it just comes to them instantaneously and then they have   
   to write it out or play it. Mozart supposedly wrote his great works   
   like that.
