metaphorical scaffolding 4/3/19

metaphorical scaffolding is 

like building up muscle memory

using content as apparatus for the mind-workout.

take a particular reference metaphor from memory

and apply the same mind process to it

only be aware of the think style used

to process the metaphor into meaning.

not so much care for the meaning of itself

but the witness of the think method used

as if it is synaptic muscle memory of the brain 

and then apply that to a new content base

as if approaching the conger of a theory 

but with this new think style in usage.

a way to get to new thoughts

by altered thinking-style approaches

using metaphor as a structured scaffolding

in which the content is practice-apparatus

but the results are new insights or novel approaches.

akin to reverse engineering 

but done in a completely internal fashion

in which practice of the mind skills used

is applied to new thought directions

and yields deeper insights and greater vision realized.

the real work is not retentive mind more developed

but is the varied approaches 

using newly developed mind styles 

of cognitive perception.

getting to view the behind of the behind

or the beyond of the beyond

as the witness of the think itself

and then the product that it produces . . .
