Thought is a structure

Thought is a structure, and the more dogmatic it is, the more rigid that part of the topology (topology studies properties that are preserved under continuous deformations, including stretching and bending, but not tearing or gluing).

"This" - going on herein on a daily basis - is about the creation of a new, more dynamic structure that you WILL into existence - first from desire, then from necessity, thread by thread - and this new vigorous base becomes the warp and woof of your "new understanding."

Ordinary "thinking" is rigid, nearly fixed in concept and definition. It conforms to "known neural pathways" (usually forced, enforced, and reinforced by, parents, peers and educational systems), and melds (blend of melt and weld) seamlessly with the fabric of "the already known." It is "thinking with examples."

"This" is about thinking with energy alone, not words, concepts, ideas, definitions, examples. It is completely dynamic and fluid, and "seeps out and in" osmotically, rather than being absorbed into the fabric. And, rather than being an effortless often unconscious assimilation, it is an intentional and creative act of will.

"This" is about remembering, without thinking about it.
"This" is about thinking, without remembering about it.
"This" is a completely UNKNOWN process which is the literal shortcut you've been seeking, but did not know it.
