This sort of thing happens to me as well. It's as though there's some
vast memory containing all possible knowledge and sometimes some of the
knowledge is fired off into my mind. The first time I remember the sort
of thing you describe with the clothespin was when I was under 3 years
old (I know this, because we moved from the house where it happened when
I was 3). I was watching the sun's light reflecting from grains of sand
in the alley behind our house.--noticing the way the reflections changed
as I moved my head.
Occasionally the knowledge comes in dreams--this happened more often when
I was younger than it does now.

Could be an explanation for the sudden bursts of knowledge. Maybe it
happens more frequently than one would suppose, but most of the time the
recipient is not in a position to put it to good use.

Yeah, I think cerrtain members of our species do have access to such
keys. I think that probably the greatest challenge is finding the right
locks.
