Thinking about thinking


Recommended Posts

Can you describe how you think? Its a pretty difficult question. 

@Troy

@Cynique 

This is open to anyone. 

A different way if answer the question is as follows. Can you describe the difference between hiw it feels  when you are thinking and you solve a problem and when you don't.  However dont refer to the emotional or physical sensations.  Just use mental ones.

Is this a trick question? In order to answer the question, you have to think about it ;)  It is always a problem when the thing you are trying to evaluate requires the thing itself.

Often solutions to problems just come to me. Sometimes when I'm trying to do something with this website, I'll just "sleep on it" and the solution comes to me as if it was obvious.  I don't even rack my brain anymore when a problem presents itself that I can't immediately resolve.  I just wait for it to come to me.

I guess my initial reaction is that I don't know how I think. I feel like any answer I'd come up with would just be a story I've conjured up to fill in the blanks of what I don't or perhaps can't know.

Lol......
It's specifically aimed @ Troy and Cynique....but it's "open to anyone".


I'm a strong proponent of accuracy and truth.
Not necessarily "judgement" or deciding what is "right" or what is "wrong"...but more so what is TRUE and what is FALSE.

So when I go to solve a problem I try to factor in as much truth or accurate information about the issue as I can.

For example......
A few years ago one of the employees under me was accused by an employee from another department of sexual harassment.
The upper management wanted to immediately write him up and some even wanted to let him go citing "zero tolerance" for sexual misconduct.
One employee who wasn't even in management offered to call the police and he barely even knew the facts of the case, but he was a known trouble maker and racist.

Sex is a natural thing and I know it's natural for young men to hit on women and try to have sex with them, so I wasn't emotional or angry about it I just knew he was a good worker and I wanted the FACTS about what he did to see how best to defend him.

The first thing I did was sit the brother down and ask him to tell me EXACTLY what happened, not what he thought I wanted to hear.
After apologizing and grinning and embarrassment on his part I got him to finally admit what he did, which was a bit different from what he was accused of and DEFINATELY didn't fit under what's commonly considered sexual harassment.
I tried to have a sit down with the accuser before we all went to the office but she wasn't having any of it and her manager kept pushing her on to pursue the matter even further.


This young brother was a good worker and I was ready for battle to keep him clean so I prepared myself with the FACTS of what he did....her reaction....and the company's official policy on matters like this.

Most of all I refused to let him apologize for what he did!

He kept wanting to (and eventually did apologize to her later on against my advice) but I told him that this was business and they didn't want to hear any apologies because that would admit that you did something wrong.

My defense of this brother rested on 2 things:
1. What he did was indeed flirtatious but NOT sexual harassment.
2. I charged the accuser with CULTURAL DISCRIMINATION and being ignorant of how people from other cultures interact with eachother.

To make a long story short the meeting ended with the brother NOT being written up and a few weeks later one of the district managers who happened to be there and decided to drop by and listen in on the case heard me speaking so well and presenting the FACTS so plainly and directly that he was impressed and offered me a temporary training position!

Now if we had went in there dealing with FEELINGS and OPINIONS and what she PERCEIVED his behavior to have meant.....he probably would have gotten written up if not let go.
But I wasn't going to let them manipulate the rules based on flimsy opinions and perceptions, when it comes to threatening a man's livelihood you better come with the FACTS.

The biggest lesson a person can learn from this story is that it pays to stand up for one's self.
But the second biggest is that it pays to have the FACTS!

@Troy your last paragraph answers the question. You don't know what happens when you think.

@Pioneer the question is what happens in your mind. What you have decscribed is the outcomes and your mental process.

It is not a trick question it is however subtlety tricky.

It helps if you can think about your thinking. Metathinking.

Pioneer the question is what happens in your mind. What you have decscribed is the outcomes and your mental process.

If you ask someone how they think then it IS about their mental processes.

However if you're asking where do people get their IDEAS from then maybe you're talking about INTUITION and INSPIRATION where thoughts just pop up in a person's mind without them making any effort to ponder it or the factors related to it.

Most great artists have this type of thinking, called a "creative imagination".

I'm not sure if this type of spontaneous thinking comes from the subconcious of the individual, or the superconscious of the collective.


 



Troy


Piecing together what both of them said.......
He was sitting behind a desk and she had to reach behind him to get a coat off the wall that she had left. As she was reaching she said,
"I'm sorry to put my big butt in your face but I just gotta grab my jacket."

He told her,
"Don't worry about it, you can put your butt in my face anytime you want to."

Honestly, I've made similar comments to women on the various jobs I'VE had not to mention things I've said in regular life.
I've gotten so many dates and sexual opportunities from women from making similar comments!
But I can understand how in a sterile work environment and depending on the woman you make it to (she was a young "half-Korean" woman) how somone can take offense to comments like that.

I knew if a White man made the same comment she wouldn't have become as offended.
I also knew that if HE had made the same comment to MOST Black or MOST White women they wouldn't have been nearly as offended either.

Knowing this was probably the case pushed me to fight it harder just on the principle of not allowing another Black man be punished for simply being a man.

It goes back to what I've been saying for the past few weeks, a lot of the problems Black people have in this society are "invited" by them not standing up for themselves.

BTW.....

Weeks after that not only did they become "friends" but they started going to Friday's and other spots with other co-workers after work....lol.

Pioneer there's a subtle difference: what I am asking, and what  you think I am asking. Sometimes I  am capable of deriving a question that's palatable to the person being asked. It took me 30 minute with someone who understands my thought process. 

So I thank you for the effort. I'll post my response to the question. I didn't have sn answer until a day ago. 

Del

The tricky part of communicatin is that we use the same words, but the meanings are shaded by our experience. Which is where the distortion happens. Also even if you grow up in the same environment your temperment, beliefs and assumptions will influence and skew how you see things.

Pioneer when you use the words true and false I think of them they way a logician philosophers or computer programmer would.  So there can be things that are true and wrong . Veracity only means that if I accept your assumptions and follow your thinking I can come to the same conclusion. Personally most assumptions are opinions. I would say that there are no facts. And if i can think of a situation no matter how far fetched that fact is no longer solid. 

The reason i take this position is that I can not be certain of the unknown much less the unknowable.

Pioneer we have a different style of communication and thought process. I am not wedded to any idea or belief. Except that I want to know and figure stuff out.

Sexual harassment is most political correctness run amok.  As you mentioned depending on the situation and the people involved the statement could be funny or obscene.  A son saying it to his grandmother is completely different than a young man saying it to a young woman that he knows very well.

Still, unless something has changed dramatically Black men should err on the side of caution when it comes to joking around in the office. I would never have said something like that to any woman in the office unless I knew her well enough to know she would not go to the man and sell me out.  

I would have cautioned my man to exert more discretion in the future.

It would be rather hard to know things and figure them out if you don't believe that facts exist, don't you think?

When I say facts I'm simply talking about ACCURATE (and current) information.
False doesn't necessarily carry an immoral connotation to it, it could just mean inaccurate information that doesn't line up with verifiable reality.

But in order to figure out something you have to start off acknowledging certain FACTors involved in the process.

You want me to teach you how to ride a bike, you must first be taught what a bike is and then accept it as a FACT.
If you refuse to do so....how could any further learning take place?

You're liable to grab a broom and try scooting down the street on IT instead.

You're absolutely right, and I did.

I'm certainly not advocating for Black men to go around making sexually provocative statements to the women they work with .

However I also know that despite the supposed professional codes (this WASN'T a corporate environment but many places try to hold their employees to corporate and professional ethical standards)...I know that the work place is one of the best and THE most common place to find a compatible mate.
Mostly because you get to see that person for an extended period of time through a wide range of emotions and conditions which allows you to make a much better judgement about their suitability.

Infact, one of the weapon I had at my disposal was the fact that atleast 2 of the men there MET their wives on the same job and atleast a half dozen others are dating eachother so they must not have kept with the code 100 percent.....lol.

But as I've gotten older and have seen so much drama that has resulted from co-workers dating and the tension it causes in the work place not only between the parties involved but also among the "haters"......I find myself increasingly telling brothers "don't shit where you eat" and keep it by the book.

You have to KNOW it to IDENTIFY it.

Facts/Knowledge comes first.....it's the framework for indentification.

If you have no knowledge of what a bike is, you wouldn't be able to ID it even if one were standing in your living room.


* I didn't say have a thorough knowledge of it or know "all about" it....I said simply KNOW it.

Pioneer you can not imagine a situation where a person can do something that  you can not. Or do something that you can not conceive. I can think of a least two situatuons where you can ride a bike without being able to fully identify a bike.

I person could be shown how to ride a bike wearing shutters. Like a horse so the bike is never visible. Or a blind person could learn to ride a tricycke.

Leonardo daVinci might disagree with you. Nor would Einstein or Farraday. They didn't accept the facts.  They could see beyond what literalist can see.

Lol @ "fully identify".
No one said anything about "fully" identifying anything, because it's an objective concept and we all have diferent OPINIONS on how much of a thing must be identified until it's considered "fully" identified.

Nor did I say a person had to know what a bike was simply to RIDE it.
Hell, a FOOL can hop on a bike and play around with it without realizing what it is or it's purpose.

I said you had to know what a bike was to LEARN HOW to ride it.

You don't have to know what a bus is to ride IN one.
But you DO have to know what a bus is to learn HOW to drive one.

 


person could be shown how to ride a bike wearing shutters.

I don't know about "shown"....lol....but sure a person can be taught how to ride wearing shutters.
There are blind people who can ride bikes.
But they still first KNOW what a bike is....using their other senses....in order to learn.


BTW....Einstein was a physicist and mathematician so he ABSOLUTELY accepted facts.
He just didn't stop at the facts he already knew but continued learning more.

I've been thinking about how I think and I'm not sure. I will say that I am always challenged by people who confidently assert something, and my first impulse is contradict them with an alternate possibility. I am a natural polemicist and an inductive thinker, which is why I anticipate what a person who disagrees with me would say and I am thinking of how to respond to their rebuttal even as i am trying to get my ideas across.    My main shortcoming is remembering something I have heard somewhere and including it in making my point without being able to back it up with references and hard facts. So  this can make it easy for someone to tell me that I don't know what i'm talking about.  LOL. In being a truth seeker, my perspective is always about the big picture and the overview because I think people get caught up in their own little worlds.  I am also a cynical old broad who used to be a skeptical young chick. Debbie Downer. :(

Below are my observations about the thought processes of you 3 guys, and they are observations not  criticisms.  They are what make you all uniquely yourselves. 

Del assumes you know where he is coming from and is spontaneous in his comments which are  often out of context and are, therefore, confusing. He is also mercurial but this contributes to his being flexible in his positions. He seems  self-aware and sensitive, a versatile thinker comfortable with both science and spirituality.

Troy subconsciously uses the power of persuasion in his arguments, assuming that what is as "given" to him is a "given" to you - until you snap out of it.LOL  He borders on ennobling himself because he always takes the high ground and although he sometimes takes on the role of the victim, too, he is very convincing in justifying his grievances. A great technical, resourceful mind complemented by a winning personality  

 With Pioneer, he is very opinionated and often backs up his opinions with specious arguments that, if not necessarily factual, are at least interesting and provocative, - not to mention long-winded. A well-read, unorthodox thinker with a sly sense of humor.

I enjoy sparring with all of you. You make my life more interesting because I don't get a lot of mental stimulation in my day-to-day existence that includes scrolling up and down FaceBook..  :wacko:

Cynique I assume that people want to challenge their beliefs and do original thinking. I would say your synopsis or is it analysis, is on the money.

There aren't too many places where you can have a provocative  dialogue. 

The question is not what do you think about or how do you think. But what happens while you are thinking. My initial feeling was thinking is a mysterious process. Since you don't feel anything and then the answer pops out.

@Delano the process of thinking?  Or looking for answers?

Well I guess that gives you an idea how I think..

If it's thinking to find an answer -I call myself the "obedient scribe" because I'll ask a question and the answer appears - or at least the field of what I'm thinking about gets narrower.  That is productive thinking.

Thinking to just think is much easier because I just listen. 

Depending on what level of consciousness, I'm currently residing, I can "hear" . 

For example, I woke up with a request - "someone" asked me to research the "styles of the decade - and so before I got out of bed I began penning some ideas on the topic.  It was surreal even for me - because I have no real interest in discussing fashion but I did it anyway focusing first on the 70s, then the 60s, 80s, and 90s.   I even wrote a blog post, "Styles of the Decades | Voices inside My Head"  It turned out to be fun and I got a chance to use some old family photos in the post.   

Here's where it got weird.  I got an email on Friday that informed me that on the very same day I began writing the post, Tim Gunn, Project runway,  a show I've never ever seen -- gave a talk at the Library of Congress on the topic of fashions in the 70s. In fact, there's an exhibit on disco fashion "Bibliodiscotheque" at the LOC that ended on Saturday.   In his taped interview, he said, (paraphrase) "before you can talk about the 70s you must first talk about the revolutionary 60s" ...those were nearly the same words I used in my blog post.  

All this to say, I believe thinking is a result of being open to any given channel of influence, so to speak...

I intuited this concept early on, and I tend to tune into the highest frequency I can perceive.   It just so happened that day I dialed to dial into  the Library of Congress's frequency. 

 

Thank you for today's blog post topic. I'm using this response ... :P

Yeah its an evocative answer along with a great story. 

You are also mentioning an idea that i have been working on and of Since January. Thinking intuition and imagination are the same thing. They don't feel different, it's their use that defines them. 

I have thought projects and think about my thinking. Since I believe that I am a non linear conceptual intuitive thinker/empath.

@Delano Would you believe I wrote something on this concept?  Once again, I woke up with this idea and I wrote "Time is no respecter of persons"   I'm not an expert in any of this - I just write what I "hear"...    If feel like reading here is  "Whose Got Your Ear which is based on this thread.

@DelanoTowards the end of my post, after I describe what I call conduit thinking, I mentioned that I don't know how to continuously tune into the channel that is supplying me information.  Your comment has just pointed me in the direction.  Acquiring tunnel vision to channel thinking could be effective.

["Tunnel vision : :  extreme narrowness of viewpoint :  narrow-mindedness; also :  single-minded concentration on one objective. ]

Tunnel vision has a negative connotation.  As usual, what the powers-that-be frown upon may be the way to secure information from what some mystics call the "Akashic records"

Pioneer in my opinion it requires an openness or ability to surrender that I feel you lack.

Your request at least to me doesn't reconcile with your previous responses to post about the occult. It is hidden for a reason.

I can only tell you what you already believe. 

I have met Astrologers, Psychics Card readers, intuitives and emergy and light workers. All of whom believe in what they do. However there are only a handful that have a freakish devotion to their craft. And want to continue to expand. 

Mostly the path chooses you. I had two sets of people that took my interest in the esoteric and gave it direction.

Try devolving your intuition, by meditating yoga or Martial Arts.

@Pioneer1 LOL this made me giggle. I was trying to think how I can verify experience especially since experience is in the moment. 

Well, there is probably a physical location because of vibration but maybe it's a 4th dimensional construct.  One that we can access at a certain level of consciousness.   

Keep in mind, I just agree calling this place where  information is stored "Akaschic records" because the description has been my experience .  When you look at the etymology of the word, it states it is derived from the Sanskrit word "Akasha" which means aether...  As I mentioned in an other thread - that's what I called the place I returned to when I "died".

Maybe death is just another level of consciousness; a flat line but a consciousness nonetheless. 

Here in this animated form we experience delta (change) which allows us to bounce between levels of consciousness. 

 So maybe you can access the "Akashic records" by going to deeper or different levels of consciousness.

It sounds like you don't have a lot of confidence in their ability to answer the question.....lol.

Remember, my criteria for proof doesn't just lay in observation alone but either OBSERVATION OR EXPERIENCE.
So even if they can't point to and show me the Akashic Records, if they can tell me how to get there to see them for myself then that would suffice.


Mel

I'm still not sure I totally understand your answer.

To make it clear, I'm asking 2 questions:

The first is about YOUR experience....whether or not you can verify it to me is immaterial.
Have YOU verified the existence of the Akashic Records or some other grand cosmic system of information retrieval?

Then the second question....which is to you or whoever can answer.....
Does anyone know a SURE way to access this system?



Del

I can only tell you what you already believe.

Lol...If you started telling me what I already believed, you'd be humiliating yourself.

Facts are reality and their existence doesn't depend on a person's belief or skepticism.

The Library of Congress exists.
It's real.
It's in Washington D.C.....whether I believe it or not.

If I want to go there, all I have to do is get the directions and a plane ticket and I can be there by tommorow....nothing strange or mystical about it.

Now either the Akashic Records exist and you know how to access them....or you don't.

@Pioneer1 LOC is only real in your presence.  For everyone else who is not present, it's an idea...  While it may be real when you visit, once you leave it you cannot prove it exists...
Using someone's verification, such as asking directions, and purchasing a plane ticket, that LOC exist is based on trust and faith.

Sure I can prove it.....lol.

And I'm not talking about "second hand" knowledge like pictures of it, but PROOF!

Whoever is asking for proof, all they have to do is get on the phone with me and I can step-by-step walk them through the directions on how to get there until they have arrived and are sitting comfortably in seat with a book in their lap.

That's absolute proof.


Now ofcourse when it comes to HISTORICAL events or places that no longer exist....no...you CAN'T absolutely prove them any more.
You can find other people who HAVE seen them or experienced them along with you and they can be used as witnesses to verify that which HAPPENED or that which ONCE EXISTED...but atleast on this plane of existence you won't be able to prove it.

If it's a FABRICATION or HALLUCINATION...(and I'm definitely NOT calling the Akashic Records a fabrication) you'll have a hard time trying to "prove" it...lol.

But when it comes to REAL things that still exist, the possibility to prove it should also exist.
Now we may  not know HOW to prove it...that's where ignorance comes in...but the proof is there because the object is there and the proof exists in it's very being.

@Pioneer1

Agreement is not proof.

Acceptance is closer to the definition - M-W

1a :  the cogency of evidence that compels acceptance by the mind of a truth or a factb :  the process or an instance of establishing the validity of a statement especially by derivation from other statements in accordance with principles of reasoning

2 obsolete :  experience

As I stated an experience can't not be verified.  I can search for the Library of Congress because someone said it exists on this plane...I could experience through observation that it exist but as soon as the experience is over so does the LOC.

So if you have an understanding of what I'm saying now, then move through the thought process you will have the answer to your question about Akashic records.

I think I understand what you're saying now..........

You're saying proof has nothing to do with the evidence YOU BRING but whether the person you're presenting that evidence to ACCEPTS it or not.

It's a shame they made the "experience" definition obselete, because in my opinion it's just as valid as the first definition if not MORE.

A little child can ACCEPT that Santa Claus exists simply because she was told so, does that now mean that there's PROOF that Santa exists because that belief has been ACCEPTED?

There has to be a better way of defining proof than even what Webster has....lol.

Perhaps there should be 2 versions of PROOF:

1. The first type would be solid evidence establishing absolute fact....regardless to what any one individual BELIEVES or ACCEPTS.

2. The second type (more to Websters) would be ANY evidence that the person BELIEVES and ACCEPTS, regardless as to how strong or weak that evidence is.


In one definition the onus is on the CONVINCER and on the second the onus is on the CONVINCEE. 

 

 

As I stated an experience can't not be verified. I can search for the Library of Congress because someone said it exists on this plane...I could experience through observation that it exist but as soon as the experience is over so does the LOC.


Experience can absolutely be verified, especially if I use the definition out of that very same dictionary:

VERIFY

1 : to establish the truth, accuracy, or reality of verify the claim

 

It just depends upon the INDIVIDUAL on whether or not they want to ACCEPT that verification.

If I had a video of you sitting in the Library of Congress, as long as I ACCEPT that the video is true and hasn't been doctored, your experience has been proven and verified.

In another example............

Let's say you and I visit D.C. together.
10 people tell us about the Library of Congress.
I believe it exists.....you don't.
I convince you to atleast GO to the area those people told us it was located.
We both get there, I see it, and I walk in and walk YOU in and we both sit down in a chair inside.

Now......
As far as I'm concerned, it has been VERIFIED and the proof ACCEPTED that it indeed exists.
If you want to sit there not believing that you're sitting inside the LOC.....
If you don't want to ACCEPT that fact......
Your unbelief and lack of acceptance doesn't cancel my verification and proof of our experience.


Applying this same logic to the Akashic Records................

Ofcourse I can't verify an experience YOU may have had.
However you CAN prove that it exist to my liking by showing me how to get there so I can see for myself.

@Pioneer1 I can't prove anything to your liking, that's an inside job. 

But seeing that you've successfully completed this thought exercise, however, I'm satisfied that I've  provided you direction to see AR for yourself.

This is just something i want to share along these lines.  About 5 years ago when i would've been about 78 years old, far past the prime of my life and at a stage when I should've been filled with a modicum of wisdom that comes with age, on a bright summer morning after taking a brief stroll around my quiet neighborhood, I ended up standing in my driveway.  There was not a soul in sight, just a few birds flying around and flowers blooming and ants crawling and a soft breeze stirring.  While standing in the drive way with my back to the sun i looked down and saw my shadow; a perfect silhouette of "me" and what spontaneously popped into my head  was that I exist, brought to this realization by  seeing what was visible when I blocked the sunshine and cast a dark outline of myself.  To me, this was a revelation and maybe even an epiphany that  took 3 quarters of a century to hit home. and confirm what i believe about the  truth being right before our eyes, just waiting to be discerned.  

Also, when the subject of the Akashic records came up here, this struck a familiar note with me  Why, I don't know, but my memory of the past sometimes fails me.  Finally, I looked back into my saved files and found a wealth of information about this subject stored there, much of which seem to speak directly to me.  I don't know how this information got there, but  it came from somewhere and I was so fascinated by what i read that I am going to embrace its message and experiment with what it suggests.  Love, Truth and Light were the guide words in this material, and, in my waning years, truth has been foremost in what i have been seeking, Now i am inspired to include Love and Light in this quest.

I also find it sobering that my keyboard doesn't seem to want to capitalize "I" and it often comes out "i" which i have been correcting, But now i think i will stop correcting it. Maybe this is the Universe's way of reminding me to keep myself in perspective when it comes to the big picture.

My health is failing and i think the Akashic files i unearthed were meant to be found by me so i can understand my purpose before i  shift into another plane.

Cynique I have a few parallels with your story.  I was always seeking truth. The light and the truth seemed indistinguishable or oerhaps two sides of the same coin. And now I want to embrace love but more importantly for me compassion. 

My phone sometimes will type phrases,  call people or refuse to show me the bottom of a page

Well if your asking for help or proof. Then motive is important.

If you were driving along and saw a man trying to push his stalled car with his family inside out of the road would you stop and help him push his family out of danger?

Or would you pull up, roll the window down, and start interrogating him and asking him what's his motive for doing so?
