The Realities:
The Physical World
The Subconsciousness
The Consciousness
We have limited control over the physical world - There are natural laws that dictate what we can do.
We have full control over the consciousness - Consciousness is absolute freedom, but in accordance to the physical world.
We have no control over the subconsciousness - As far as what can be proven. The subconsciousness is composed of a mixture of the unknown and the known.
What is there to gain by tapping into and understanding any of these given realities?
A Conjectural Example of Flight and Creativity:
The story of Daedalus and Icarus versus Orville and Wilbur Wright
All of these men sought to escape their earthen confines by harnessing the power of flight. And they dreamt, "If a bird has wings to fly, then so must I." Daedalus constructed wings of wax and feathers which were birdlike in appearance only. The Wright brothers studied the birds and learned that it was not only the wings, but the currents which allowed them to suspend themselves in the air.
While both pairs claimed flight, Daedalus lost his son Icarus, whose wings were melted by the sun that day, and the Wright brothers both lived to fly again. They all watched birds in the physical world, and out of their subconscious came a belief from the unknown that they could fly, and they consciously devised a way to do it.
In the case of Daedalus and Icarus, two physical laws were neglected. 1. Heat melts wax, on the part of Icarus. 2. The physics of aerodynamics (misunderstanding what made sustained flight possible), on the part of Daedalus.
