Many scientists realize the true importance of the subconscious
mind. Edison, Marconi, Kettering, Poincare, Einstein, and
many others have used the subconscious mind. It has given
them the insight and the “know-how” for all their great
achievements in modern science and industry. Research has
shown that the ability to bring into action the subconscious
power has determined the success of all the great scientific
and research workers.
An instance of how a famous chemist, Friedrich von
Stradonitz, used his subconscious mind to solve his problem is as
follows: He had been working laboriously for a long time trying
to rearrange the six carbon and the six hydrogen atoms of the
benzine formula, and he was constantly perplexed and unable to
solve the matter. Tired and exhausted, he turned the request over
completely to his subconscious mind. Shortly afterward, as he
was about to board a London bus, his subconscious presented
his conscious mind with a sudden flash of a snake biting its own
tail and turning around like a pinwheel.
This answer, from his subconscious mind, gave him the
long-sought answer of the circular rearrangement of the
atoms that is known as the benzine ring.
