The Unit Model - Winds Contribution

„We are all imbued with the classical Western unit model. We can hardly think in any other way. What we call “thinking” seems to require unitized things which are assumed to be either cleanly identical or cleanly separate, which can be next to each other but cannot interpenetrate, let alone have some more complex pattern.

Winds ContributionWith respect to form don’t try forcing it onto your material. It comes from within as soft or as hard as your energies allow, but you know, just learn to listen deeply.

If, for example, there are two things which also seem to be one in some intricate way, rather than try to lay out this intricate pattern in detail, thinking tends to stop right there. We consider the sense of such a thing as if it were a private trouble. It seems that something must be wrong with us because “it doesn’t make sense.” And yet we keep on having this stubborn sense which does not fit in with what is already articulated in our field. It probably stems from a genuine observation which does not fit the unit model.“

(Eugene T. Gendlin - Introduction to Thinking at the Edge)
