Answer 1

You can make a strong argument that although the relationships may be unknown, all thinking is casual in nature.
But from a practical interpretation, if your questioning the value of free association, then there is no better technique for expanding one's understanding, potentially transcending the limitations of analytic reasoning. The system needs to remain open to function optimally .There is no better way to change the F stop. Sawdust.

Answer 2

Better to avoid vain thoughts. Particularly using the results in your character. Such as, "I would have jumped into the frozen river and saved those children."

The error seems to be substituting manufactured experience into your ego model. The feedstock for your ego model should be pristine.

Non-causal thoughts ride piggyback on causal thoughts. Often relating to value judgment or non-causal conclusions that require some degree of perfection to be true. As we are not perfect beings this leads to errors and it can systemically change our world-view. Such as forming the piggyback belief that we are inherently better than another person riding on a narrow observation like being better at spelling.

Answer 3

Non-causal thinking is almost an oxymoron since thinking is generally the process of considering how one thing affects another.

It doesn't hurt to let the mind wander now and again(non-causal), but for thinking to be 'of value' you typically have to connect some dots. (aka causal thought)

Answer 4

why must , THE MIND start or begin from THE NOTHINGNESS , in which , in there also , have a CAUSAL or a REASON for IT'S TO BE SUCH AS THAT'S , for also as to be THE CREATOR ( or SOMETHING ) for EVERYTHING there is , BELONGS TO IT'S. If you can find or know the SOLUTION ANSWER of that's , then , you will agreeds in saying that there is NO SUCH THING AS TO BE THE NON-CAUSAL THINKING. Even a lies had a causal to a liars.

Answer 5

By non-casual, I assume you mean idle. We are not constantly thinking intellectually or in-depth all the time. When we watch a t.v. program, a movie, yes, our minds follow the interruption of the program, and afterward the meaning, but to dissect everything all the time is not being idle or letting the mind wander into a peaceful state. We are not "on" all the time; we have different levels of intellect, and idle, blissfulness, not thinking of anything in particular, is not a negative. Haven't you ever heard, "give your mind a rest"? This is my own interruption.

Answer 6

I'm not even sure I know what this is... I suppose you can have random ideas pop into your head at times, and at times have very linear thoughts... But I think there's value in all thinking... It doesn't have to be 'deep philosophical pursuits' ALL the time... I heard Barry Manilow's 'O Mandy' song at work today, and it reminded me of one of my favorite movies "Can't Hardly Wait" with Ethan Embry...Anyway, that was a very random thing to think about, but I like the movie so it was nice to hear the song.

IOW it just depends on the mood you're in...

Answer 7

It is idle thinking that comes up with extraordinary results every once in a while..... I firmly believe that our mind becomes more powerful and effective when it is not deliberately fixed on any particular theme or requirement..... in that respect our mind is exactly opposite of our body which is more effective only when deliberately applied to the given or chosen task.

However, the mind comes up with extraordinary ideas through idle thinking, which however need subsequent focused and disciplined application before they can become practically useful or meaningful.

Answer 8

Non-causal thinking Hum Oh you mean asking girls for things? There is a lot of Non-causal thinking!!

Answer 9

Of course.

To elaborate allow me to feature your question.

Your question regarding non-casual thinking proves that to ask an intelligent question has value.

Answer 10

No, unless one lacks or denies any belief system of any sort. But since the state of "lacking a belief system" must be, due to its existence, a belief system in itself, the situation cannot be reconciled.
