You would think having received a western education abukarsubeer, would develop critical thinking and rational mind, but no, he is still stuck with mytic thinking and views the world in unenlightened manner.
How do you reconcile Haplogroup E1b1b1a with the sheik isaaq story; you can’t because a rational person would see the contradiction, but not abukarsubeer, because he comes from a peasant stock that have not developed yet a rational mind, were sufisim is the means to experience spirituality: with its saints worship and its illogical explanations of religion and the physical world
Abuarsubeer I like you bro, consider whatever I say as encroachment because I like people like you, your mind is hungry for knowledge and if you are given the right tools who knows, you might be our own hegel
Mythic thinking demonstrates its primitive format, its tie to symmetry and
our speciesness, through its lack of direction, associationist format, and
being spontaneous; it is a style of thinking closely associated with dream
states (same logic applies - see Matte-Blanco's work on this in his "The
Unconscious as Infinite Sets")
Directed thinking demonstrates its more developed format by being
purposeful, organised (syntax focus) etc. and gives us a sense of direction.
Jung's focus on thinking styles comes from his essay "Two Kinds of Thinking"
and was influenced by William James' distinctions of directed and
non-directed thinking; non-directed aka mythic thinking is associated with
'fantasy' thinking . Freud got on the band wagon with his focus on reality
principle and pleasure principle - the latter mapped to phantasy.
The precision issues come out in the studies in variations of directed
thinking, where children and primitive tribes utilise the surrounding
context to communicate - the languages are dependent upon, and so tied to,
local contexts and cover the creation of histories/legends/myths. Only with
sophisticated development of languages - due to contextual pressures,
competitive demands, to make distinctions - do the ties to local context get
broken and out emerges a universal form of language that takes its context
with it. At this point the literal nature of the myths become recognisable
as metaphors and not to be taken literally but what is 'hidden' IS to be
taken literally
