What Is Insight?
01
relief
Insight comes as release of tension of inquiry.
02
Unforced
Insight is a matter of understanding something that was not understood before rather than recalling previous understanding.
03
internal
Insight is the result of an internal mental process, an inward orientation, and has to do with the prior state of the mind.
04
holistic
Insight engages both the “particular and concrete data of the senses” and the “universal and abstract.”
05
sticky
Insight passes into the habitual texture of the mind. “It becomes difficult to forget what has been understood.”
