No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.

You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.

You can't solve a problem on the same level you created it.

You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew.

The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.

If I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.
