@SammyG you gave example in the course that ā€œI love appleā€ there are three words and each of them are individual concepts. However what you do think about conceptualizing I love apple into one single concept? It feels easier this way

Of course. I mention the three concepts as a way to learn how to conceptually think. Starting point to learn how to conceptually think.

But ā€˜I love applesā€™ can easily just be felt/thought up as one concept.

Just think of an apple. You mentally think how much you like an apple and how you express gratitude with it. You mentally projecting that gratitude. So what is gratitude? What is the feeling of gratitude? You know when you receive some things good. You feel good about it. Project that mentally. With an apple as well :thought_balloon::apple: :heart: :grin:

Yeah, the feeling of ā€œloving an appleā€ already encompasses all the information and experiene of ā€œappleā€, ā€œloveā€, ā€œyouā€, ā€œits tasteā€ etc.

Thatā€™s why feelings are the most conceptual language to communicate with the subconscious mind.

Iā€™ve dipped my toe into the idea/topic of conceptual thinking many times, only to put it away for another day, as it felt overwhelming or just could not fully commit to thinking it through.

After reading this thread and doing some quick exercises mentally, I feel the way I am making sense of it and it really doesnā€™t have to be complicated (I tell myself.)

Iā€™m finding that itā€™s okay (and easiest, for me) to hold an image as an anchor, but then as you begin breathing more information seems to attach itself to the image whether through you intending in experiencing xyz ā€œI love applesā€ or, I feel the reverse can happen. If a tree or person or situation is your target, you might start with a name or photo (something not conceptual) and then all the other (conceptual?) information flows

I do these things all the time, and Iā€™m going to assume this is conceptual thinking. I think I talked myself out of it because I would begin with something concrete first.
Conceptual information is another world for mental or psychic information, correct?
It is a type of processing; as I am best describing and understanding

Still working through my thoughts, I hope I am on the right track. Even more so that i am properly explaining what Iā€™m getting at.
please feel free to point me to greater heights and better understanding :green_heart::sun_with_face:
