While writing the rest of My Way Zen part 3, I realised that in order to explain something, I would need to head off in seemingly another direction to explain a connected topic, which in turn would require another explanation of another topic and so on. I realised my thinking tends to be holistic, wanting to bring a massive synthesis to all sorts of seemingly unconnected topics, rather than a linear exposition that proceeds in a linear fashion with one topic fully explained before moving to another topic or Chapter. The linear book style with a progression from chapter to chapter does not fit the multidimensional holistic way of thinking. But fortunately there is a movement within many disciplines to use mind maps.
Mind Maps
A mind map is a clever way to allowing separate topics or concepts to be linked together to create a way of allowing people the opportunity to explore the concepts and links in a holistic manner. So I plan to write the remainder of the book using mind maps rather than chapters.
Here is a preliminary plan for the book using mind maps:
