[kj] OT How does the mind work?

[FLIGHT BRINGER]

At last , someone who understands. You understand the concept and the 
questions it poses.
How can we understand it when by rights we should nt be able to because  no 
one has taught us , but its still possible to read it just as quick. How is 
it possible for the mind to understand things that  haven't been taught ? 
And how we naturally make ourselves understand things. The Japanese use the 
same system ( not reading all the symbols/letters ) to grasp the meaning.
