Think of all the success stories about people who, in the depths of financial problems, develop an idea for a new business that makes them rich. Prayer may be a medium for many people. Often the brain is pushed during prayer to receive a helpful idea. If the alignment is achieved, IE will be received. If the alignment of the brain is achieved in this state, IE can be received.
People receive original ideas in many different kinds of situations.
Often the best ideas come while driving, or looking out a window, or sitting on the front porch. IE may also be received when the brain is under serious stress as in a major emergency. We've all heard of people thinking of an idea to save themselves or others. They can't explain why or how they thought of the idea, but it was the right idea. We depend upon the brain to get us where we need to go on time and remember all we need to remember.
