FOR THE READER
By reading these simple easy advices that are grounded on doing
pleasant handiworks and in wandering in the nature, You can in 15
minutes or in an hour reach the level of holistic rationality of the
average university professor. But of course You will not have their
knowledge, You have the knowledge of Your experience of life instead.
Holistic objectivity allows one to treat things according to what they
are like, which is the idea behind the success of market economies,
science and education and the reason why we value justice and honesty
in important matters between friends.

LEARN THE BASICS OF
HOLISTIC OBJECTIVE THINKING EASILY!
PART I
MAKING PERCEPTIONS, ARRANGING THE MEMORY AND GOING THROUGH WHAT ONE
THUS HAS MEMORIZED
ARE AN IMPORTANT MAJOR PART OF OBJECTIVE THINKING
1.
Thinking consists of noticing things, so objective thinking is very
much like using the senses.
What is thinking? Thinking means forming a correct picture of the
world. Thinking is based on undisturbed perceptions: “This is like
this and that is like that.” Thinking is not based on words, terms or
concepts. Instead objective thinking is based on ordinary sensory
perceptions and on memories of sensory perceptions.
Based on our experience of life we form a picture of our living
environment with its human relationships. So the base, the starting
point for all thinking, are one’s perceptions, one’s memories of what
the world is like, of what our everyday life is like.
2.
Gardening mode: think in practical ways as if you were sensing the
things in your memory or imagination.
The best way for making perceptions for the purposes of objective
thinking, is to do like one who enjoys gardening does: a concretical
clearly sensed nearest environment, where you can use all of your
senses to feel the things in it, maybe touch them and try them; plus
an awareness of the whole landscape that one is working in: the garden
and the wider landscape.
Similarly it is very good in thinking if you can from your memory
imagine the things to think about as a very concretical picture in
front of you, where you can best watch it and try it, at the same time
as you are aware of the place of those things in the world.
You have kind of zoomed yourself to the environment of that subject in
your picture of the world so that you can make as clear perceptions as
ever: “This thing I see clearly, but about that thing I cannot know
because it isn’t in my picture.”
3.
A holistic view of the world: here I live, there is the shop, and so
on; future rising to the air and one’s experiencies of life as a trail
on that map: here was I at each moment.
Arrange your experiencies of life with the help of the sense of sight
to form a map of the whole world. Some parts of the map you know well
– they are described by your experience of life – and some you do not
know at all: those are left blank.
“Here I am sitiing, there is a stool below
me, a table in front, the window over there and the door over there,
behind the door a corridor via which I came here,… Outside there is
the street. Via it, so and so, I can reach home. My home I know
likewise but more detailedly. The shop nearest my home in on another
street around a corner, the homes of the friends of my kids there near
by and the park close by…” Build this way a map of the whole world.
Place all things that you know at their right places in that map, like
you via your experiencies know them to be. Add to this the official
map of the nearest environment, of the whole district, up to the level
of the whole globe. This way you have all the world in the same
picture!
The past you can place underground, the lower the further away in time
it is, and future up into the air. This way you can see the track of
your experiencies find its way in the landscape, rising upwards all
the way to the ground level, while the future is left up into the air.
4.
You can think of anything in your picture of the world, if you zoom
into it and its environment.
You can see any place in your picture of the world if you zoom to that
place in your map, and you can see the whole world at the same time
when you zoom out to the large scale map of the whole globe.
This way you have one single correct picture of the world, with sizes
and proportions right, which is a very good starting point for your
objective thinking and in itself already much of what objective
thinking aims at: an objective picture of the whole world!
5.
If you want to think about a certain thing in the whole, colour it
momentarily so that it rises to meet the eye and is so easy to notice
without losing sight of its place in the whole.
When you then need to, or you want to think about something, clolour
it momentarily with some colour that you find easy enough to notice,
and take a look at it as if you were gardening, like I adviced you
before. This way you see both the thing in question and its place in
the world, which is very good for youyr understanding.
6.
A gliding glance and forming a holistic view: do not let your glance
jumb at all!
In these instructions it is the idea to handle all thoughts at the
same time, so that you can get everything handled at once and do not
need to get stuck in some endless mosaic of things for example as if
you were thinking by words.
An educated thinking advances slowly and carefully from one piece of
information to the next, kind of lets one’s glance glide along the
regularities of the thought subject and takes care to not to let one’s
glance ever jumb – not even if the one that one talks with would be
prone to thought jumbs. This is so because with every jumb one easily
loses the thread, the idea of one’s thoughts and so the
trustworthiness of one’s thoughts is lost too.
So let the focus of your eyes glide along the subject that you think
about, at the same time as you form a holistic view of the subject and
about its role in the world – just like you would do if you met the
things in the life in the living, visited some place or whatever.
This is one of the basic skills in objective thinking, one of its
basic rules. From the thus formed holistic landscape like view of the
things that you think about, you will later see clearly how thigs are.
7.
A nature view at the background helps you to conceive complex things.
Sometimes things get too complicated. At those times it is good if you
can imagine a seen nature landscape or even a single detailed tree at
the background of your thoughts, so that you can compare the thought
to the much much much more complex nature view which is still easy to
conceive. In other words, you place each detail of your thought next
to some detail of the nature landscape, look first at the nature view
and then as if there was nothing special to it, you look at the nature
view’s style at the thought as if the thought were simple too – and it
has thus become simple!
8.
Concretical fact associations are an easy organised way to change from
one subject to another and a way to arrange your picture of the whole.
You get your picture of the whole world arranged in practical ways if
you use concretical fact associations to move about in it: our farm ->
our tractor -> its repairwork laterly and in the near future -> the
maney that the repair works cost -> the farming equipment shop -> what
our neighbour bought last time from there -> his tractor -> their
family altogether -> what we have like them and what different -> how
each person lives in one’s own way -> the rainbow of life -> what is
important in life -> happiness, and avoiding catastrophes ->
understanding helping in reaching for one’s goals in life.
PART II
DEDUCTION, IN OTHER WORDS MAKING PERCEPTIONS BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCE
OF LIFE ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED:
9.
Make generalisations and find things from your memory as if you were
finding all spots of a certain colour or form from your environment:
all such things in your vocabulary
(-> finding words)
or in your objective picture of the world
(-> putting things to an objective form)
or in what is available to build from
(-> finding solutions).
Once you have mastered
all the other pieces of advice here
and reached very rational holistic objectivity, this is where you can
develop in intelligence and creativity.
10.
Check where do things apply.
If you want to know things that you have no experience of, you will
have to make generalisations and see where they apply, where they at
least do not apply – and what would apply there?!
You generalise something by taking some single characteristics of it
and by paying attention only to them. For example: cats see well in
dark -> seeing well in dark -> Well, if you see well in dark, you
notice in darkness things that others with poorer eyesight cannot
notice. -> Usefulness in hunting and in survival.
Now compare your generalisation to all the cases that you can find
from your picture of the world: were your generalisation right? If
not, you have typically forgotten to mention some important detail
(“all animals whole eyes are healthy”). Fix it.
It is easiest to generalise very sure common sense truths, since the
basic things of life are essential also in the world at large. Like: I
need food. -> All people need food in order to stay alive. -> So
arranging food for all is one of the most important questions in the
whole world.
PART III
PROBLEM SOLVING:
11.
From a holistic view to details: what you need for a solution, where
you could build it from, do you have those blocks, build it!
Many people try to solve problems by trying what they could build from
a certain set of available building blocks. If they do not succeed,
they give up. An easier and more efficient way to solve problems is to
solve them solution centeredly: Think what you would need for the
solution, what kind of structures – you can lift them up from your
memory by associations – and what you could build them from – that too
you can do by lifting the possible types of building blocks from your
memory. Then just build it! This way you know what you need and how
you can get it and so you are not wasting your time!
12.
One cannot reach one’s thinking ability or objectivity by copying
school like looks.
Humans have via the natural evolution adabted to a life in a close
contact with the nature. So also our thinking ability gets support
from doing practical work (-> gardening mode), using our senses (->
accurate perceptions) and our natural sense of place (-> a map). So
objectivity cannot be reached by copying the looks of schooled
thinkers or of the town environment. It has to be reached by living in
harmony with our sensing nature which builds so a picture of the
environment.
School likedness has gotten its main charachteristics from the written
text, not from thinking. And the written word is just a means of
marking things up. It is not a means of thinking!
13.
Do not think by words. Think instead by the memories of experiencies
and by holistic pictures!
Words are just a tool for communication. Words are not a way of
thinking. Instead all our observations are made by the senses, by the
feelings and sensations.
Words break things to an endless mosaic
that one gets lost to. It looks complicated but it is not good for
thinking.
One who thinks by words is like one who has an extremely narrow tunnel
like eyesight: For example take a cartoon cylinder from which you can
see through one thing at a time, like as if described by a word. It
makes an enormous mosaic of even simple things, like your own room.
But if you look wirthout such tunnel sight, without the cartoon
cylinder, you can see everything at once and so understand much more
via using such holistic pictures in your thinking instead of the tiny
words.
14.
Relax!
Sometimes one’s head is dizzy and it is difficult to think. That is
often connected to tensing the middle part of your body, especially
the neck, the shoulders, the back and the stomach area. So just relax
in an alive way: exercise, stretch or whatever. Try to make your
social reklationshgips friendlier and less formal because that relaxes
you profoundly, making you happier, more intelligent and wiser. Do not
consider thinking hard work but think with enthusiasm!
You will remember things easier if you can emphatize with the point of
view that you were using when you memorized the things. Emphaty too
works better with a relaxed body and makes also your social skills
better.
You cen remember things better if you are sincerely interested in the
subject.
15.
Remember to carry responsibility!
A sense of direction or a compass is for a traveller more important
than speed. So pay attention especially to your choice of goals and
valuyes that you follow. That affects your life much more than
intelligence (speed) in itself!
MOTTO FROM FINLAND: “I love Life in happiness, like You too! So I
take happy Life as my value in the world at large…”
Your goal
Starting point
Thinking forms a picture of the world for you. That is a map of the
world.
Feelings mark what things in it mean to life: strong negative feelings
mark things to avoid, while strong positive feelings mark things to
reach for. (Be fair!)
An atmosphere is a landscape with feelings connected to the phenomena
in it: “There is a huge storm cloud coming, let’s run for shelter!”
Look separately at each cause of feelings to see what that phenomenom
or that class of phenomena mean to life. The seen landscape in the
atmosphere gives objective sizes and objective structure to the
(relationships of) the phenomena in the landscape.
Atmospheres offer a natural quick and accurate way to think
objectively.
EXTRA:
LEARNING THE BASICS OF SOCIAL SKILLS AND OF ANY OTHER SKILL:
You can of course learn them in the ordinary way: by memorizing the
advices of others, but there is also another way: you can observe
things yourself. That means keeping your eyes open, paying attention
to what stays constant, what changes and how, according to which
factors and in which ways: just sense, let your sensations form a
landscape from which you see by your eyes how things are, you should
be engulfed by the experience, so you will know what is what and how
things are. The deeper your attention, the better you will notice
things. Do not make school like forms out of what you have noticed but
let it stay as a pleasant experience instead!
You get BUILDING BLOCKS: a stone, sea, sun, a bird flying,... and
STRUCTURES:
there is a huge stone by the sea side and a bird flying in the sun
above the
water... Those are your understanding of the thing in question, those
are your
thinking. Similarly, if it is a question of your own action, you can
conceive parts: thinking, feelings, moving, social side of things, the
sense of sight,... and their relationships, structures that they form:
If I use my sense of sight in thinking this way, I can think very
clearly! Similarly you can conceive both your own action and the
landscape that you act in: “Here am I using my muscles and a strong
motivation to lift the stone by the sea side...”
