On the Two Levels of Thinking

I think while I am thinking. I’ve been told you can only concentrate on one thought at a time, but there is a way to articulate in your mind while at the same time there is a way to ruminate at an even deeper level. The first is a “λέγω” experience; it is progressive. The second is a “λαλέω” experience; it is iterative. And so, while I am speaking with my mind, I am also “feeling” (but this is still a form of reason) with my mind. It is here, at this deeper level, where my most important insights occur. Strangely enough, the second level occurs only when the first level is active. Sometimes it is best to occupy the foreground of my attention so that I might ruminate with the background of my intention.
