Document Summary

All the patterns of experience, involve both a particular flow of experience and the mediation or intervention. In one way or another, of the elements human knowing which direct the flow. So far, we have identified: acts of sensing, imagining and remember that provide data, wonder which intends an as yet unknown object that is an answer, a grasping which patterns the data in a new way. The answer re-orders the question so as to make sense of it, that is, you understand the meaning of the words. Questioning moves us into a higher gear, to a higher level of consciousness where the object is to understand what is presented to the senses: w/o the (cid:395)uestio(cid:374), (cid:449)e (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t (cid:373)o(cid:448)e to(cid:449)a(cid:396)d u(cid:374)de(cid:396)sta(cid:374)di(cid:374)g the data p(cid:396)ese(cid:374)ted. The higher gear in consciousness is called the intellectual level or the level of understanding. If you want to figure something out you make look for ways to do so: look for clue, scan your memory.
