Receiving information that brings the larger picture into focus. Examining memories in light of new data. Distilling the meaning of experience. Well-articulated analysis of forces impinging on the present. Foresight: recognizing the trajectory of events. Getting in sync with what's happening, or well-timed blocking maneuvers when things have gotten off- track. Cultural critiques (ineffectual methods). Meditative recollection of one's natural Self, and the greater spiritual and physical Nature of which it is a part. Imaginative access to the shining ideal forms of nature (inhabiting parallel realities). Seeking completion. Spiritual marriages. Letting the inner meaning of people's words sink in.
