I always think of it as learning to see hidden dimensions, and once seen, investigate deeper or just imagine transformations of that dimension -- extrapolation, inversion, etc. Once found, you can drag around these hidden dimensions from one domain or one instance to the next.
Like sometimes I seem to be in alignment with someone, but things feel off. I once realized the "off" feeling was because I was running toward something I believed in, and they're running away from another thing that scared them. It's only circumstantial we were intellectually walking in the same direction, so I tread thoughtfully in collaboration with this person. It's attractive force vs repulsive.
Once I knew to look for this "away vs toward" dimension, I see it often :)
very nicely articulated.. so, you are suggesting to be "sensitive" to "feelings" - such the one of being "off" - since feelings primarily provoke thought. Another feeling that i have is one of "inconsistency" - again it feels like something is off, and you are suggesting to pursue this feeling rather than to brush it aside.
aw hey thanks. haha yeah, "feelings" are maybe just the subjective experience of a mind interpreting high-dimensional data. so I guess I'm arguing for using "feelings" as a dowsing rod for a truer dimension hidden beneath, to which the feeling is drawing your attention :)
