How to catch the moment of understanding

    WHAT DO WE SEE       OVER THE TEXT AND   LANGUAGE ITSELF?WELL, THEY MOVE AROUND IN ITS OWN FORMS.

                                                   //  ''Do you take somehow notes while reading books or  looking out the window on a train? Such personal moments flow away easily as like heavy rain from yesterday leaving only small stains of water drops on the window. I wonder how you trace back such small thoughts that once have been understood but passed away day by day.''                                                  //  

                                                     //   IT'S ABOUT transforming an imagery of one's understaning on ideas or complicated concepts, along with undescibable emotions via drawing note.                                                    //                

 'Pieces and question mark' referred to ..<The man who mistook his wife for a hat>by Oliver Sacks  page 14) our mental processes, which constitute our being and life, are not just abstract and mechanical, but personal as well- and, as such involve not just classifying and categorising, but continual judging and feeling also.

 'Average' referred to ..<The undiscovered Self with symbols and the interpretation of dreams>by Carl Gustav Jung page 5) If, for instance, I determine the weight of each stone in a bed of pebbles and get an average weight of five stones, this tells me very little about the real nature of the pebbles. Anyone who thought, on the basis of these findings, that he could pick up a pebble of five ounces at the first try would be in for serious disappointment. Indeed, it might well happen that however long he searched he would not find a single pebble weighing exactly five ounces.

 'Proprioception' referred to ..<The man who mistook his wife for a hat>by Oliver Sacks  page 71) It's nine years now since I met Mr MacGregor, in the neurology clinic of St. Dunstan's, an old-people's home where I once worked, but I remember him-I see him-as if it were yesterday. 'What's the problem?' I asked, as he tilted in.  'Problem? No problem-none that I know of... But others keep telling me I lean to the side: "You're like the Leaning Tower of Pisa" they say. "A bit more tilt, and you'll topple right over."' 'But you don't feel any tilt?' 'I feel fine. I don't know what they mean. How could I be tilted without knowing I was?'

1st): Choose a book, that knocks you with curiousity to read. 2nd)  : While reading the book, transcribe in your notebook the parts that you are interested in or want to remember, with the title/ author/ and page of the book so that you can find it later. 

3rd)While or after you are transcribing a book, feel if there are any images that remain in your mind. Of course, nothing may come to mind, then let's just leave it in the notebook as it is.   4th)  When you have collected about 10 drawings, show them to close friends, colleagues, and family without explaining what you drew .  And have a conversation about how they were impressed. In the process, you can observe various thinking tendencies and can  receive a new interpretation of the paintings. 

Tips!   > Imagine a year later, if you are trying to understand what you just transribed now, only with drawing. This illustration is for yourself, so it´s not neccessary to consider other people.       >Imagine explaining to a 7-year-old child with a drawing of what you transcribed, so the child can understand it. 

THIS PROCESS CAN ALSO BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF-DISCOVERY BY CATCHING ONE'S OWN WAY OF THINKING TENDENCIES THAT ARE SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO NOTICE.
