I wouldn't say that much shuffling, but I do explore lots of ideas. There are many reasons I 'kept' some ideas and discarded others. I guess the most often (not the one I use a majority of the time) is my ability to 'see' beyond the surface of things to the underlying essence. Much like intuition (which I use a lot too), this avoids exploring a lot of dead ends and keeps me from being distracted by how things appear on the surface. Another thing that comes into play is my ability to recognize and identify patterns, especially dynamic patterns. Certainly in the local parts of reality (Earth planes and similar) forms and structures are held in place by forces and energies. In the cases where I lack enough information to easily identify a pattern I can 'shuffle' the known bits (forms and forces) until they align in a reinforcing pattern. Sometimes there are multiple ways that 'work' but its pretty easy to eliminate a lot of possibilities. Being willing to stare into most anything can open vast amounts of understanding. Some examples are staring into infinity, or looking directly into the inner divine (FYI it can be daunting to do so). Doing that just 'burns' away SO much non-sense.
There are many supporting factors that open the doors to perceive that which is otherwise unnoticeable. This includes inner silence, willingness to accept a conclusion even if I don't like it or don't want it to be true, having an open mind, realizing that what I know may not be right, being willing to be wrong, utilize something I know to be wrong in order to move 'ahead'. These are more things that allow me to find better ideas than to eliminate lesser ones.
Not sure if any of this is what you are asking, if not reword the question.
And finally, just because it is impossible, does not mean it isn't that way.
