Idea: Parallel (game) universe experience
Problem: If you play a lot of video games and have thought that they are starting to look very similar, you are not alone. 'Threequels and sequels' - the latest games reviewed.
Solution: Why not set up a special online game platform where players of one game can temporarily find themselves in a parallel universe , i.e. a rival game?
Imagine you are playing 'Call of Duty' online and suddenly there's a 'glitch' and you are in the middle of 'Battlefield' and then, 10 min later, you find yourself fighting in 'Halo' and then back to where you started - 'Call of Duty'.

Idea: Magical initiation for an exclusive car
For an exclusive launch of a new super car, Mercedes Benz sets up a special magickal initiation ritual website.
Below is an example of a teaser print featuring a magick copy which customers will be able to understand once they pass the initiation process:

Idea: Bodyshop to introduce new product lines
According to traditional esoteric knowledge humans have at least 4 main bodies: Physical (symbolized by North and element of Earth), Spiritual ( South and Fire element), Emotional (West and Water element) and Mental (East and Air element).
Why not develop new product lines designed to work with each individual body?
Below's a branding example of the concept with corresponding colours:

Waking vs Dreaming
When in a dream state, our minds lose gravitational pull of the ego and can float to parallel worlds.

Idea: Future of European Union
Problem: Collapse of the current political, social and economic structure of European Union.
Solution: To allow citizens of Europe to choose what political and economic society they prefer to live, according to their values and principles. i.e.:
1. CAPITALISTAN: for people who enjoy working hard and make lots of money.
2. SOCIALISTAN: for people who like to live in a 'nanny' state.
3. TRIBALISTAN: for people who reject all of the above, reject consumerism and governmental control, prefer to live in small sustainable communities, independent and self-governing.
The future EU won't have countries but will be divided on 3 main society zones based on alternative political and economic values.
All 3 society zones will have an agreement of no expansion or interference with each other. Each model will have a sovereign control over its natural resources. Trading of land and natural resources between the zones will be restricted. For example, Capitalistan won't be able to use in any way natural resources of Tribalistan. And 'entrepreneurs' from Tribalistan won't be able to sell it.
To ensure that the equilibrium between the societies is not tipped by one or another society-model, a special UN of Europe will be established. Its task will be to keep political forces of each society from interfering into internal matters of each other,i.e. waging wars, slander, etc.
In my opinion, the future of each society zone will be determined by free and unrestricted migration of populace. To join a system would require to sign a legal contract (responsibilities and rights). Contracts can be permanent or temporary.

Some points on how to stimulate creativity
1. Inhibitory state of consciousness vs Excitatory state.
2. Excitatory is caused by new information stream.
3. To allow the stream into our psyche the Inhibitory must be deactivated.
4. It can be achieved by altering personal state of consciousness.
5. There are many different methods.
6. When Inhibitory dominates Excitatory, synopses of brain cortex become less fluidic and the person becomes more like a robot.
7. When Excitatory dominates, pineal gland is stimulated and the person becomes more free spirited.
8. Creativity is spirit that thrives on irrelevant streams of information.
9. Irrelevant is what is outside the 'Channel Normal'.

Transcendental Art : Entoptic forms
Conventional art is based on perception of outside world (material objects), whereas entoptic (or transcendental) art is generated by inner world (nervous system) and represents different types of subjective visual phenomena.
Entoptic art is psychosomatic in nature and comes out of oneself - namely from the psyche of participating observer.
Interestingly enough, the very first art form on the planet was ‘kick started’ by taking psychoactive ingredients in the diet of the first artists.
“Lewis-Williams and Dowson brought forward the original thesis that Paleolithic art is inspired by subjective visual phenomena, seen and depicted by shamans or spiritual men and women during altered states of consciousness.”
T. McKenna’s “Stoned Ape Theory” is also closely related to this entopic phenomena.
Entoptic forms are created (and perceived) by means of altering a state of consciousness of the observer. A good analogy would be a psychedelic drug. Another good example – a stroboscopic flicker device that produces visual stimuli in the mind of the observer. In other words, these art forms are created out of neurological makeup of the observer, inside the head, responding to external stimuli.
Since entoptic art is a self made, self generated type of art, it is relevant to mention: the better is the observer’s imagination; the richer is the art experience.
Entoptic phenomena is related to the ‘Observer’s Paradox’ principle from quantum physics. (It has been proven that conscious act of observation changes behavior of the observed object.) So, I assert that in entoptic trance observation equals creation.
As more people become interested in exploring personal psyche, ‘right brain’ technologies and gather more accurate understanding of how a human mind works – the creation of new diverse psychoactive stimuli will follow.
Just as with all thoughts and feelings of humankind, the original entoptic creations are stored in the planet’s noosphere (collective consciousness layer) and can be easily accessed through an appropriate stimuli. Note: stimuli dont have to be only psychoactive drugs, they can be physical devises like the dream machine lamp (mentioned above), sense deprivation tanks (Dr. Lilly's), holotropic breathwork, and other techniques to achieve alternative state of consciousness.
For example, famous shamanic paintings of Pablo Amaringo for me are just physical 3D ‘copies’ of the non-physical entopic art forms he mentally created/experienced with the help of ayahuasca stimuli.
Eventually, when the mainstream culture finally moves on from the current ‘material’ worldview paradigm to a more spiritual perception of reality (2012?), the notion of ‘art’ will also acquire a spiritually deeper meaning.
The new entoptic art paradigm will be mankind's rediscovery of the original psychedelic roots of art itself.

Retouching silly quotes
The original quote sounds like it came from a planner (or a production manager) and could have made more sense to me if it didn't have the word 'great' in it...or used the word 'efficiency' instead of 'ideas'....... bla bla...blaaaaaaaaaa

Idea: Mushroom houses for safer living
As the planet earth is facing an increase of extreme global weather and seismological activity the style and principle of conventional architecture will have to change too. Here's a concept for a future building designed to withstand extreme weather conditions - Collapsible mushroom style houses:
In the event of a dangerous event (tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunami, meteorite showers, etc.) the houses would be able to slide down into underground shaft protected by hermetically sealed cap on the top. The cap would contain solar powered batteries protected by a transparent thick layer of the strongest material available.

Competition in The Golden Age
I think when it comes to human consciousness, competition, as a prime principle of human evolution, is hugely overrated. This mantra might be true for semi-conscious forms of life like animals for example, but could be quite detrimental for a more advanced beings like humans.
According to this paradigm mantra - if you don't compete, you don't survive. And to survive one needs power and money. So, most people go to work to survive.
As we evolve towards a more enlightened paradigm of being (The Golden Age) this 'compete-or-no-respect' ideology is steadily crumbling away. I believe that in the near future the prime motivation to go to work will not be money or power over other human beings, but opportunity for self-realization and earned respect from others.
I believe that people don't have to compete in order to better themselves or come up with great ideas. In fact, it has been proven already that competition doesn't automatically facilitate more creativity or lead to better ideas.
In fact the greatest discoveries in human history were not motivated by monetary rewards, but for the love of doing the 'job'. (Gutenberg, Einstein, Eddison, young Bill Gates, founders of Youtube,....... On the other hand Mark Zuckerberg, who apparently stole the great idea , had different motivations ( read here )
So, it's not the competition that drives people to have great ideas, but loving what you do and self-respect. These are the real value currencies, not money and power. (In the Golden Age the idea of having power over other human being would seem as abhorring as cannibalism in today's society.)
To sum up, the nature of competition is to produce quantity, but not necessarily quality. In The Golden age quality is everything.

Science journalist Jonah Lehrer, referencing a landmark neuroscience study on brain activity during innovation, writes:
“The relaxation phase is crucial. That’s why so many insights happen during warm showers. … One of the surprising lessons of this research is that trying to force an insight can actually prevent the insight.”

How to pay for magick
A magickally charged object ( i.e. a talisman) to be fully efficacious should never be sold, lent, coveted, obtained by fraud or force. To be fully effective a magickal object has to be given as a gift from a maker to the client. It is a symbolic operation and conventional fixed pricing is not involved here. A person who receives the 'gift' must then offer a reciprocal gesture, as a payment for the service. Usually it is the 10th of the efficacy value (EV) of the talisman. Here's an example, say a client needs a talisman with the value outcome of 10. 000 $ (i.e. a start-up of small business venture), in this case his/her reciprocal gift to the magician should be 1000 $, which is the 10th of the 10.000 $)
Another important point to understand when personally determining the value of the service: The price for the efficacy of the object is symbolically addressed to the spiritual entities that partake in the creation of the talisman. Technically speaking, they feed off the energy of the client's offering. When we make deals on spiritual levels, any attempt to covet or cheat the real value of the service will be immediately registered (not necessarily by the magician, but by the spirits involved) and subsequently annul the magical potency of the object. In other words, you can't cheat spiritual forces. A spiritually dishonest client would end up paying for a spiritually useless object.

The De-personalization Revolution
I believe that hunger for personalization has already passed the top of the bell curve (around 2006) and soon will reach its fatigue point. In times of social change idealistic values (that unite) are becoming more attractive than materialistic ones (that separate).
So here's my version for the headline on the cover:
Future of marketing 3: The De-personalization Revolution!

Idea: Personal development with magick
Welcome to God-Form Personality workshop.
We help our clients to improve their existing personality or develop an additional one through the use of ritual magick.
This is how it works:
In magick, the common way of utilizing the power of the gods is by putting them on, like a cloak or mantle, over the perceived self. This is called assuming the god-form and is a form of invocation.
If our client wishes to become more attractive, through this method he or she would partake in a ritual to take on the god-form of Apollo or Aphrodite, and view the world through the eyes of that lesser deity for a time. If done correctly and repeatedly, this would give our client great personal charm and beauty of a combined physical and psychic character. The hidden forces of beauty channeled through our client by the focusing lens of the god-form would transform the personality of that person by reaction and alter the physical body as well.
Beauty is inevitable. Its exact quality would depend on the assets and defects of our client, both physical and mental, for magic always seeks the easiest course to its objective. If our client were crippled or deformed, the beauty would take on a predominantly mental and emotional character. The physical handicap might become lessened through surgery or other treatment. Magick uses mundane means to reach its ends as readily as the more esoteric means. Magick makes no distinction between the physical and the psychic - these are human distinctions.
Another function of assuming a god-form is that it better enables our client to issue commands to the spirits and forces that fall under the rule of that god. In becoming Thor, for example, our client will command the storms; becoming Pan, he or she will rule the woodlands; becoming Neptune, the sea.
It is quite possible to assume a god-form of the opposite sex. Every human being has both masculine and feminine qualities, with one or the other in a dominant or active position. By assuming the god-form of the opposite sex, our client may learn a great deal of useful information about the other side of his or her nature, which is usually suppressed during ordinary consciousness.
Before undergoing the magick ritual, our client will be given a special knowledge of the basics of ritual working, the ability to compose a personal rite of invocation that is viable and a complete knowledge of the gods of mythology (their strengths and weaknesses, associated materials and colors, familiar animals, symbols, scents, etc.).
It is our strict policy to work only with the benevolent god-forms.
If you have any further questions with regard to personal development through magick, please feel free to call as any time.
Disclaimer:
Requests regarding using magick powers of ‘ungodly’ nature will be declined.

Idea: WikiLeaks, Poseidon and WWF
This is a viral idea for WWF.
Why not create a new conspiracy theory with a purpose to draw public attention to the problems of overfishing? For example:
Wikileaks discloses a secret document that suggests that in 2003 US intelligence has received a warning from a friendly alien race about the dangers of overfishing. They warned the world governments that if they don't stop the destructive processes to the ocean's eco-system, the ocean's intelligence, commonly known in mythology as Poseidon, would strike back at humanity causing horrible tsunamis, hurricanes and other cataclysms.
This could be a follow up print from WWF:
