The Art of Drawing 'Invisible Auxiliary Lines' to Connect the Dots
In this study session, we explored a philosophical way of thinking that involves finding 'relationships' between seemingly unrelated events.
The philosophy of learning introduced at the beginning of the training—'connecting the dots'—is not merely about accumulating knowledge, but about re-perceiving the world as a 'plane'.
For example, the moment personal experiences that seem unrelated to care management—such as a preference for soccer or the pain of kidney stones—are discovered as common ground between participants, or between the instructor and participants, the relationship with the other person changes dramatically.
I feel that this is the power of 'ideation' that links distant events, and the essence of the philosophy that grasps the world structurally.
If you maintain a large scale of thought, you can realize that even if a conversation suddenly jumps from a physical complex to Ainu clothing, there is a powerful auxiliary line of 'custom-made' existing there.
Isn't the true role of a facilitator to align these different perspectives and angles of each participant—those looking from the front, those looking from behind—toward a common object, 'facing the same subject,' and to organize seemingly scattered and disjointed opinions into a single, three-dimensional portrait of the individual?
Trusting the context within yourself and attempting to draw 'invisible lines' between you and others makes dialogue richer.
[Question for yourself]
In a dialogue with someone who is difficult to understand, why not try to find a 'rare commonality' between yourself and the other person?
[Universal realization]
Even events that seem completely unrelated, when viewed from a high perspective, connect with lines and appear as a single constellation. The ability to find relationships is also a 'power of reassurance' that reconnects a divided world.
