At lower levels, these states of conceptual thinking can be described as thought stream specific. This means that the concepts which are being felt, seen and "understood" are exclusively relevant to the words which one is currently thinking. These will feel identical in form regardless of whether the concept is arrived at by a simple wandering of thoughts or triggered through the experience of a concept or object perceived within the external environment.
At higher levels, these states of conceptual thinking stop being specific to the words contained within ones current thought stream and start becoming all-encompassing towards every last internally stored piece of knowledge the person has ever known. This leads onto feelings which are consistently interpreted as a new-found level of “total and complete understanding” as the consequences, limitations, and position within this universe of every single concept which the tripper previously only knew in terms of its description, becomes felt in a format which exceeds far beyond language through a very real, emotionally intuitive, and undeniable perspective.

Conceptual thinking can be described as an alteration in the content of ones internal narrative or thought stream. This alteration results in the ability to think thoughts which are no longer exclusively comprised of linear words and linguistic sentence structures. Instead ones thoughts become in equal measure simultaneously comprised of the internally stored concepts which words exist to label. For example if one were to think the word "Internet" during this state, they would not just hear the word as part of their thought stream but would also feel in a comprehensive level of detail, the internally stored, non-linguistic and innately readable data, code and information which comprises the specific concept labelled within ones vocabulary as "Internet". During this experience, these concepts also become perceived simultaneously through a partially to fully animated internal visual manifestation.

Alongside of this, conceptual thinking allows one to feel not just the entirety of a concepts attributed data in the form of pure information but also how this concept relates with, connects to, fits in with and depends upon all other known concepts. This results in one feeling as if they truly understand the precise consequences, limitations, and position within this universe of any singular concept that they happen to be currently thinking about.

The experience of this effect is commonly interpreted by people who undergo it as a "higher level of understanding" as it results in the perceived ability of being able to think about ideas in a level of detail and insight unparalleled within the exclusively linguistic thought structure of everyday life.
