Inessentials

About two months ago I for some reason got a weird feeling in my life. I started detecting very strong energies around me (especially while at my house) and could not figure out why. My only conclusion I came to was clutter. So in a process (which is not complete) but over two months I started to identify and remove the inessential from my room.


Today I realize after doing this process it has helped me to focus on what is really important. Simultaneously I saw an interesting image on Facebook that read "Your talent is God's gift to you. How you use it is your gift to him" An interesting concept about really getting down to the fundamentals of life and concerning oneself with a true experience of life.


If we remove the inessential it becomes easier for us to focus.

Simultaneous Opposites

Simultaneously considering opposites as a way of solving problems.

If I was to think of black and then consider it's opposite I would immediately jump to white.

The same concept lies with figure/ground relationships.

These relationships are complex enough. What about problems that deal with multiple variables.

In architecture there is a multitude of problems to deal with. Do we approach it like Mies and just select which problems we focus on or do we try to deal with all?

Each problem we can approach with this simultaneous thinking. But then how do we start making a synthesis of each problem. Can we create solutions separately from each other and hope they work harmoniously? If they come from our thoughts then would they not?

Where else in our life can we apply this type of thinking to solve problems?
