Conceptual thinking |
Conceptual thinking can be described as an alteration in the content of one's internal narrative or thought stream. This alteration results in the ability to think thoughts which are no longer primarily comprised of linear words and linguistic sentence structures. Instead one's thoughts become in equal measure simultaneously comprised of the internally stored concepts which words exist to label.
For example, if one were to think the word "Internet" during this state, they would not just hear the word as part of their thought stream, but would also feel in a comprehensive level of detail the internally stored, non-linguistic and innately readable data, code and information which comprises the specific concept labelled within one's vocabulary as "Internet."
During this experience, conceptual thinking allows one to feel not just the entirety of a concept's attributed data in the form of pure information, but also how these concepts relate with, connect to, fit in with and depend upon all other known concepts. This results in one feeling as if they can truly comprehend the precise consequences, limitations, and position within this universe of any singular concept which they happen to be currently contemplating.
The experience of this effect is commonly interpreted by those who undergo it as a "higher level of understanding" as it results in the perceived ability of being able to think about ideas in a level of detail and insight unparalleled within the primarily linguistic thought structure of everyday life. This suggests that human language may well be intrinsically self-limited through the way in which words can only act as mere shortcuts to the concepts which they exist to describe.
