The Master had one of his famous riddles. He said: "Suppose you get into the middle of a Morse Code message, only, the pauses have all been left out, making it not a trinary, but a binary Way. Something like:
Ven said: "It is no good going for the 'e's, the +, when there are no pauses."
"Indeed, you are on the right track Ven. We must then take a more complex one, just an ideal is the 'the', therefore: - + + + + +. But it is the mechanism I want to show you. What'll you do?"
Ling said: "Count the large groups of +'s."
"Very good, but these five +'s are only accidental, they might have been - + - + - -. Now, what you do is write it down on a slip of paper and move it along the line, one step at the time. The subconscious then blinks alternatively at the pair, for each step. It is easy then to see a match. Now, this is probably how ideation operates too. Why? Because it is the simplest Way, this 'Blinker-Principle', and Nature always favours the simplest Ways." [160], [166]
