(being fueled/assembled by this philosophy, actually) [size=150]effortlessly and naturally experiences it[/size]…
(for example) to see another’s use of an ambiguous word (when processed) blossom into a uniquely jumbled, shaped and colored rubix cube that,
once assembled to satisfaction, sums up
–in a language that only that mind can see and read–
[b]the grand narrative of a/bmind that
(with the paints recycled from its ancestor’s needs, joys, pains, hopes and beliefs) spends its single breath of existence exhaling the vision he saw of his father.
I don’t experience a picture or visual-like representation of another’s mindset, that’s interesting. When I cannot immediately understand what one means/attempts to express (the verbal “logic” behind their expressions/word choice), I automatically “empty” my mind
(to observe, but remain detached from the experience of each word passing through, and the changing context each word gives the message) until feel a “stop”
(which happens when a certain perception/word/gesture/etc –having been interpreted from my growing understanding of their mindset from their use and associations of other words–
signals me that, by investigating their use of that word, I can better understand the unknown perspectives that keep me from understanding them). This “stop” is sort of felt like a big knot (a tangled mess of certain words/ideas). I begin looking at how the words are connected/knotted, and begin to understand, little by little (though it happens quickly) a more detailed meaning for each word (and then a more detailed perspective that gives those words those meanings), then more detailed for each word, then perspective, until I feel something like “clean”/“continue” and I can verbally explain my understanding of their perspective.
It’s not that you should “walk in another’s shoes”, but you CAN if it’s desired/required.
For someone who understand relativity of thought/logic/etc, it may provide a passage for resolving sticky focus restraining beliefs.
For someone with insight but till lacks mental comprehension, it may help to clarify the implication of certain insights.
For someone who is still trapped in absolutist/juvenile (pseudo) comfort/security of presumed absoluteness ( and absolute certainty), I don’t think it’s very interesting, most probably.
Glad you enjoyed. And I’m actually glad that I wrote it, now.
I think I would lose the interest in these things, sometime later, and forget about them.
“Reality” for me is anything that captivate my attention at the given moment.
So, anything can be the reality of the moment.
Basically I apply what I do to my mind to the mind of others. although it’s less direct/precise. To me lots of human mentality in me and in others were foreign. I didn’t identified with them much. So, I am the best lab animal for me to observe and to learn (and to test/experiment).
When the words have clear associations with usable perspectives, I guess we can untangle things by word associations. But too often, human words are basically muddy expression of their fear/hope, rather than clear perspectives.
So, it’s often quicker, easier (for me) to go down into their subconscious fear/hope patterns by tracing back the projected positive ideals.
But I do use a method a little similar to yours, in a way.
I may hold the main ideas/perspective of others and drop/jump into the emptiness/void in the (my) core. Then, whatever thrown in would be resolved/dissipated, while it may emit the last cry/vibration as it disappear.
And how they get crunched/resolved, and what they say at the end may give an insight I can tap in and pull “relative understandings” out of it. It’s a sort of destructive inspection method.
