This sounds a bit like AOS magic techniqueone mental model that is probably very rudimentary but to me very conducive is to remember that interesting thinking is motivated thinking.
what you must do is first get some image in your head and really keep it in focus. could be a pretty plant you want to make a poetic observation about or some song you want to analyse or a cultural thread you want to critique.
then the crucial part is before you start 'thinking' about it, you have to cultivated some distinct way of feeling about it. could be aversion, attraction, curiosity, hatred, but it's imperative that you trust your instinct on this. you have to really feel some certain way about it. and then only when you have that feeling down, when you have gotten a real good taste of it, you must probe it, investigate it, find out where it comes from, what is is connected to.
the feeling is always the access point to the deeper levels of anything. thought alone is futile, entropic. it doesn't know where to go or how to sort the signals.
it's probably very obvious and simple but i've found it's a crucial thing to keep in mind.
anyways, this was a very nice thread to re-read.
no clue what that is!This sounds a bit like AOS magic technique

This is your manifesto.
It’s taken a long time, I wrote mine in 2004, but this one is better, deeper, less academic. I’m not even absorbing what you’ve been doing in the last two years although I am reading and getting my head around it slowly, but also caught up in my own obsessions which take up time. Watching and reading and appreciating though. Read your poems in Italy surrounded by ancient relics. They are incredible but I still haven’t worked out a way to say why yet. That probably makes no sense to you.
