24 MOVEMENT VS. JUDGEMENT
Judgement is a well-recognized thinking operation. ‘Movement’ is a different mental operation that is used from time to time but is rarely recognized as a deliberate and useful thinking operation.
Judgement is concerned with ‘what is’. Judgement compares a situation or a suggestion to past experience and gives a verdict of ‘match’ or ‘mismatch’: this fits or this does not fit. Judgement is static.
Movement is concerned with ‘what can be’ or ‘what may be’. Movement opens up possibilities. Movement looks at where the situation or suggestion leads. What follows next?
The judgement system is what I call ‘rock logic’,fn1 because rock is static and has permanence.
The movement system is what I call ‘water logic’, because water is concerned with flow.
The key word in the judgement system becomes ‘is’. The words ‘yes’ and ‘no’, ‘true’ and ‘false’, are really convenience versions of ‘is’.
The key word in the movement system becomes ‘to’. ‘Where does this lead to?’
