Thinking outside the box" and "thinking beyond the box" (also called "thinking out of the box" or "thinking outside the square" ) is to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective. This phrase often refers to novel or creative thinking.This is related to the process of lateral thought. The catchphrase, or cliché, has become widely used in business environments, especially by management consultants and executive coaches, and has spawned a number of advertising slogans. To think outside the box is to look further and to try not thinking of the obvious things, but to try thinking beyond them.

The awareness of being inside a box is the first point of discovery. Outside the box is the progressional discover of all there is and who we are. The “box” is a metaphor for our entrapment into commonplace routines, cultural habits and biases, our daily life following a seemingly miserable path of repeated drudgery and methodically following along the the cobble stone streets of hell behind a donkey, in quest of a carrot hung by a string, just beyond the donkeys reach and controlled by the stick in your hand. Then when your donkey is set to rest in it’s stall before sleep, your job is turned to the task of rolling a large rocks up a steep incline to a cliff near at the top of the hill and to roll the stone over the cliff before returning to the bottom of the incline to roll another stone up….repeating this task until dawn when you return to your donkey to stroll along behind until evening. And so by this our tenacity at the task carries us through life to the promised “ever lasting rewards of eternal life in heaven”.
But there are those who are defiant of this, our longstanding traditions of thoughtless compliance and adherence to our most sacred traditions, only to damn themselves to the eternal fires of hell and certain damnation by choosing their own way…. eventually plunging to their certain death.
But who could accept such a cruel life? Surely this cannot be the will of God for His own children. There is but one way to find an answer to this and that is to take the plunge or resign to dwell in misery. That is the choice everyone makes who choose to live outside the box.
