Syler Method of Investigation

We (I) can find answers to problems by analyzing the problem; more specifically, by analyzing the question. Because there has to be a question. And it has to be in words, as does the answer. If you can’t explain it in words, you don’t understand it. So it’s like I’ve said: Asking Questions and Getting Answers. Asking the question–in words—then making sure you understand the question and every word in it. If you don’t, analyze. Be specific and concrete.

Poem—Understanding

You say it because you feel it, and you
        know it in your gut
But if you can’t explain it, then you don’t
        understand it
And all you know
is how you feel.

Five Pillars

These are the five pillars: Deep thinking, slow living, exposure to new things and experiences, understanding your emotions, and keeping your surroundings understandable (i.e. calm) and stimulating (i.e. interesting and beautiful).

Innocence

As long as there are people that know things worth knowing that you don’t know; as long as there are creations you are not tired of that you could not easily better; as long as there are ideas which have not occurred to you that you can discover; as long as there is beauty in the world that you do not fully comprehend, the person of wonder has fuel to continue, and to remain innocent.
