The "Aha" solution

An interesting exercise in the approach to problem solving recently led me to an "Aha" moment. After about two days ( probably 30 hours) of intense search for a solution in a problem in mathematics and engineering, the solution presented itself in a moment of almost non-thought. Of course I now realize that the subconscious never stops working. Sometimes it is almost better not to think anymore. The astounding fact is that the solution that came was so elegant and so simple, that it took my breath away. Had I not known better, I would have suspected a magic spell no less! So I am now forced to believe that there is a method to problem solving, any problem, which is available to anyone. The solution comes in a so called "Aha" moment. Perhaps solutions in prosperity also are subject to the same type of phenomenon. This of course, as mentioned elsewhere, in these posts, still remains to be seen.
