Syntax? You've just given me a money making idea....
How is that?

Do you anticipate leaving very soon?
I've got till May to throw out my creative 'out poor' and then I'll be off. After that, time doesn't matter.

Anything that has to do with light and sound. Their geometrical networks as explored by Furia, the synethesia effects between a tone and a colour, the importance of water, a reinvention of language... in fact the only thing that hasn't been touched upon is going beyond symbolism. I shall have my domain.
The thing is just that I lack the mathematical and scientific base to 'catch up'. My head still blocks it.

If it is true that the whole can be found within each part then it is just a matter of focus. How wide or narrow becomes less important so long as the part you focus on is truly known. Then your question of higher or lower levels can be resolved. To know the heart or true nature of anything is to Be in the heart. The heart of the lowliest part is the height of being.
Maybe what I consider a general level has just been superficial. I do not think so but the problem is that I understand things emotionally or so (maybe not even that) but certainly not in a very applicable way.

The higher-Self has inspired many a soul to focus on solving one of life's scientific, medical or mathmatical problems. This raises your concept of 'flow' as it relates to 'specifics'. When you consider that the higher-Self is practical and seeks to enter in to human form to express the practicalities of service in all fields of human endeavour then it is essential to open oneself to the flow of the Presence no matter the focus of one's outer attention. Whether it is teaching a child to sew a button onto a shirt or studying the weather or disease on a global scale, attuning with the flow of the Presence is the right attitude and first qualification for truly knowing the specific object of one's attention.

Which ever way you shake it the first injunction remains: "man, know thyself". To know Self is to know any 'thing' as Self reveals the true nature and activity of the 'thing'. Similarly, to know any specific 'thing' as it truly is is most likely (but not always) the result of the Presence opening one's mind to the true nature of the 'thing'. Ahh forget it.
Actually, that's quite good. I can't hear this enough. My problem is probably patience then. Nothing new, yet again. But maybe I'm also just finding a blatant answer without looking at the actual problem.
OR I'm trying to find a problem where there is none. 0_0

Understood. When the taste is known the frustrations to knowledge are... well... frustrating. The best tool i ever came across is the spoken word itself. The "word" in the ancient traditions is the christ-consciousness. It can be creatively released through all the subtle energy centers including the throat chakra in the spoken word. Whatever is held in thought and feeling can be amplified greatly by the spoken word, most especially if you begin to feel the flow of the Presence. That's why i find mantras and affirmations effective because if the mind wanders it can be brought back to the intent of the spoken word.
The word I considered to be the most pretentious of all. It's a matter of the signified being lost in the signifier. Back to Zen, you understand. True intention, yet again, comes from a source I can't name properly.
I think the problem is that when there isn't a name for it, a term, some handle, then one forgets, and that is the realy misery.
