In perceiving and reasoning, the data at every step must make sense. And that means all data should be ONE according to the principle of Oneness.

Definition of REASONING
Reasoning applies to thought in any situation. It is the natural process of putting the data of that situation together in such order that it is continuous, consistent and harmonious.
The ideal scene of the situation one is looking at, is the elements of that scene arranged according to the principle of Oneness. Any discontinuity, inconsistency, or disharmony will appear as an anomaly. The disharmony (arbitrary data) will be the first thing to come to notice. A closer look will reveal inconsistencies (contradictory data). And, a still closer look will reveal discontinuities (missing data).
As one follows these anomalies, they all converge to the basic anomaly that is the ultimate ‘why’ for the existence of the situation. The whole process of reasoning is to understand why a situation exists in the first place.

Misconceptions
1. It is a misconception to think that you already know why a situation exists and then approach with that assumption to handle the situation. If the why of the situation was already known, the situation should have been handled long ago.
