Selected Papers of Ernest Lawrence Rossi, Ph.D. VOLUME ONE 1967-2007 The papers of this volume trace the source of intuition and insight experienced in The Breakout Heuristic to the implicit or unconscious level during dreams, therapeutic hypnosis, psychotherapy, rehabilitation, and creative work in general. We now know that novel, numinous, and “enrichening” experiences of every day life, as well as the epiphanies of the spirit in the arts, humanities, and the sciences, are associated with activity-dependent gene expression and brain plasticity. I propose that the genes that are turned on by salient life experiences correspond to the “axioms” in natural, rather than formal systemsof logic in the activities our mind; the proteins generated from genes correspond to the “theorems” of this natural system; the proteins then build new neural networks via brain plasticity, which correspond to the “proofs” that we experience as the essence of truth and beauty.
