When the Friends of the ideas discuss philosophy:
Listen through or see through the words.
Circling deeper and deeper into an idea.
Distinguish in order to unite.
Find the presuppositions: what are they not saying.
Logic of soul/paradox: not the logic of the sensible.
Follow a question: what question can we ask?
Meditate on a passage: think all around it, then drop it.
Play off ideas from different contexts and traditions.
Churn the ocean of manas to distill the essence of ideas.
Follow an intuition/inspiration right or wrong.
Draw a picture or use the symbolism.
Brahma: reason permeates conscious and unconscious
