The idea of holding two perspectives at once has continued to surface in the books I’ve read. I cannot escape the synchronicities and overlaps across these diverse areas of study—from design to science, education to magic, and healing to architecture. The neuroscientist Dr. Caroline Leaf talks about a directed neuroplasticity practice called The Multiple Perspective Advantage (MPA). It involves stepping back and observing your own thinking. The foundation of the MPA is the quantum principle of superposition, which is the ability to focus on both incoming information—the external and the internal. She discusses how you can train yourself to analyse this information as objectively as possible before deciding what to believe, what to reject, and what decisions to make. Tadao Ando, the Japanese architect, begins a project by reading a written interpretation of the place where the building is being planned—stepping into the perspective of the landscape. Similarly, Hilde Bouchez, a professor, author, and interior architect, explains that at the start of a master’s course in design and architecture, she assigns her students a task where they write two pieces: one from a rational perspective, in which they describe the space, and one from an emotional perspective, like a love letter, where they describe the atmosphere and mood of the space. Or David Abram, who, in his book The Spell of the Sensuous, divides his inquiries into “a personal introduction to the inquiry” and “a technical introduction to the inquiry.” These are just a few examples
