What's it like inside your head? I realize I'm asking a question that can be difficult to answer, because words aren't always an adequate expression of what goes on in our own brains, so if you'd rather answer with an image, please do (though try to add some text if you could, in order to give us some context).
I think most of us see things in generally the same way, or else most concepts would be lost in translation. Still, I think there are parts of us that see things differently, and it's that diversity in conception, in perception, in translation, and execution that creates the human mindset as we know it.
I'll start, and then please feel free to comment.
For example, I see words as pictures. When you speak to me, I don't see the words, I see pictures and concepts, and then I form a composite mental image that gives me the gist of what you're saying.
I'm also an emotional thinker. My heart rules my intellect. When I am given a new piece of information, I feel it before I process it any other way. My brain has to take that emotional impact, translate it into something it can deal with, and send it back to my emotional center in order to act on it in whatever fashion is deemed most effective or appropriate.
It's also why I feel words rather than memorize definitions. Sometimes this results in a less accurate term being used to describe something, because the word "feels" to have a closer fit to what I'm trying to say.
Aside from all of that, at any given moment there are dozens of ideas, musical pieces, movies, books, and memories zipping about, all a part of some kind of organized chaos. It's interesting, I think.
Well, I can expound on all of that later, I think it's someone else's turn to share. Anyone?
