You Think in Pictures too- - let me connect you to your thoughts.

Most humans will swear they never think in pictures but you do and just don't know that you do. Here is a glaring example most everyone has experiencied.

You going along having a chat with someone and suddenly you are stopped cold, and in your minds eye you are looking at a picture of Uncle Joe. You have to stop the conversation and you are forced to say I can "Picutre Him" but can't place the name. Your OPTIC  vision is OFF and all you see is a grand minds eye picture of Joe. (think daydream) You either come up with the name and say, Oh that is Joe, or you bluff your way along as OPTIC vision returns and you continue your chat.

What you just seen first hand is one of the 100's upon 1000's of picture thoughts that play below the surface of the mind all the time. If science  could hook monitors to our brains and watch all the thoughts like these compile ,build and get converted to more words and thoughts as well as tap an emotional shortcut (a series of reaction picutre thoughts) it would get a view of the mind- from the inside.  There are 100's of Uncle Joe type thoughts playing below the surface of man's mind all the time- you never know it- until you are stuck and then forced to look at that minds eye picutre.  Evolution it seems blessed man with short cut flowing normal thoughts you indeed know as normal.  What we have figured out is a whole deep series of Uncle Joe thoughts that are building blocks of the mind.  No suprise here but, Alan Turing ,Father of the Computer, (1912-1954) WWII hero and a Gay autistic man and a visionary before his time simply copied his internal thoughts (a very good logical guess on my part, ) and made a mechanical version of them we know today as the computer. 

My Uncle Joe thoughts at one end are stupidly simple and tell me how to walk, chew gum, breathe, and at the other end of the scale they are 1500  3 and 4 deminsion deep picutre thoughts at one time of my inventions. A series of uncle joe type thoughts  ,daydream thoughts , form our personality traits, some form our abilities and even uncle joe type thoughts allow us to use words. If the internal thoughts are messed up and read backwards we are dyslexic. If we have 2-3-4 complete picutre thoughts, and our mind can't decide which one to talk about we stutter. Yes, the mind is that simple. If only science could hook monitors to our brain and you could watch your self think.   

Perhaps, someday when all these intenral thoughts are known and mapped and charted psychology will be the most effective tool in man's arsonel. I can see were man could be cured of narcissiam, serial killers, Savants (well figure them out) , I can see where picture thought classes in pre school and grammar schools could prevent the need for most of special education and even speech therapory. I can see an honest look at the intenral code of the mind, once all this is mapped ,as being a great predictor of the most successfull field a person might do. It could tell you if you are gay ,straight, male ,fe male (in terms of Transgender people) and even explain the details of ESP, people not listening in conversation (yes they are picutre thinking internally and not ignoring you on purpose) as well as everything the mind does.  Again man's mind is not pretty glamorus, or the jewell we hoped it would be. We share so much of it with our other aminal cousions- even parriots use our speech picture thoughts- or do we use theirs? 

I know this sounds like hogwash but I have had 40 years experience figuring out the not so obvious and stumbled upon your normal thoughts in the process of me coming up from the bottom of the gene pool. Man is so used to his version of normal he has no clue his toughts he know are shortcut thoughts. Since they are shortcuts, he has no clue the deep one that make him work are so bold and hidden in plain sight.

All of these thoughts and our insights take place during our lack of eye contact thoughts process--- the same place I just described is where your "uncle joe" minds eye thought came from ---- Our Default thought process is your Uncle Joe Type thoughts, these are where Temple Grandin Thinks in Pictures. If psychology could and would follow us down that learning hallway it would open up the vast human mind.   If all of the people in my living anthropology were united from all over the world, it would go miles in proving we all had the same internal thought code (as you do) and all of us learned the building blocks of the mind and  we all came up with the same normal thoughts like you use. We just did the long hand version of it.
