¶ Thinking
RBF Definitions
“What do we do when we think? The scientific inquiry into the thought processes is spoken of as epistemology, so we are now making an epistemological inquiry. Thinking is a subsequential phenomenon. It is an interesting preoccupation. It is an inherently spontaneously self-interesting pre-occupation. You won’t go on with it unless you want to and if it isn’t prolonged it really isn’t thinking. . . . One of the characteristics of thinking is a continuity relatedness. When I stand up and think out loud with you, you will not stay in the room with me long if I don’t have a continuity relatedness. Thinking is then dealing with a set of experiences that might be called recollected experiences. I recollect and then discover some generalized patterns that are inherent in special cases.”
