If you remember a few posts back this was in the list of Brainsets.  It's the A in CREATES.  The information is non judgmental.  You notice new things and you are curious about the world around you.  Creativity requires a broad knowledge base.  You are more receptive to seeing associations between things in the environment and problems you're trying to solve.  You remain receptive to ideas originating in your unconscious or things just popping in your head.  If your wondering about its  pathway you would be right if guessing it is spontaneous.  In the Deliberate pathway your creativity is being held captive by the Executive and Judgement Centers.  If absorb was left unfiltered all those thoughts would be overwhelming.  Also the Judgement and Executive Centers do not  want to relinquish authority.  There needs to be a balance so on occasion they will need to be distracted so inventive powers are released in your brain. 

The receptive state or openness to experience is needed to release innovative or creativity.  While it can be done in the Deliberate Pathway  it is more difficult.  When you delay judgement you are free to explore.  you can take in an idea to its logical or illogical conclusions.  Suspension of judgement goes hand in hand with cognitive disinhibition.  The goal of Absorb Brainset is to turn down the efficiency of your cognitive filters and let more info into your conscious awareness.  Doing this will increase original connection.  

The best time to access the absorb is in the gathering stage (see post 11/18). It is also needed when you are problem finding. Then again in the incubation stage.
