Conceptual thinking can be described as an alteration to the content of one's internal thought stream. This alteration results in the ability to think thoughts which are no longer primarily comprised of linguistic words and linear sentence structures. Instead one's thoughts become equally comprised of what feels to be extremely detailed renditions of the innately understandable and internally stored concepts which words exist to label.

For example, if one were to think the word "chair" during this state, they would not just hear the word as part of their thought stream, but would also feel the internally stored, non-linguistic and innately understandable data which comprises the specific concept labelled within one's memory as a "chair". This concept is felt in a comprehensive level of detail that feels as if it is unparalleled within the primarily linguistic thought structure of everyday life.

During this experience, conceptual thinking can allows one to feel not just the entirety of a concept's attributed data, but also how a given concept relates with and depends upon other known concepts. This often results in one feeling as if they can better comprehend the precise consequences, and limitations of any singular piece of information which they happen to be currently contemplating. This is often interpreted by those who undergo it as some sort of a "higher level of understanding".
