Whereas the Primary Thinking we need is alert, deliberate, self-aware... in this sense it is a 'scientific' way of thinking.

Do you think it was an inevitable progress of the white abstract mind? Do I understand you correctly when I say primary thinking is more like thinking in images, per Carl Jung, as apart from "processing" information and deducing from preset "structures", thus creating an interval between the observer and the observed, while shutting down the "perceived"?<br /><br />I think I have always been a primary thinker, meaning modernity never quite was able to corrupt me fully. So, I hated school from day one and was unable to learn and process information in a linear manner. This led to a painful difficulty in math and simple arithmetics. I don't know if it's because I'm unintelligent in that sense, or if school is trying to fit everyone through the exact same filtering process, and at a point I zoned out and shut down. Everthing I've learned has come from creative and authentic pursuits outside of school.<br /><br />Anyway, I appreciate your insights and find your blog fascinating.<br /><br />Best regards, <br />Eric from SwedenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
