Penser au-delà de sa perception/ses repères/son subconscient


Explanation:
Thinking Outside the Box means thinking beyond the parameters of human consciousness and experience - to see beyond the norm - to be a visionary - to activate your DNA. We exist inside the box - the physical plane - but we soon evolve our conscious awareness back to its source of creation - outside the box.

Explanation:
ne dit-on pas 'le cadre de reflexion' ?
Donc ceux qui ne se contentent pas de rester dans ce cadre avec ses limites peuvent trouver les meilleures solutions....
