Somewhat recently, I had heard about two conceptions for human processes. One of them concerns the human mind, which needs to concentrate and put in thought to do its thing. The other concerns the human soul, which would need to reflect, or more specifically contemplate, in order to be able to regard the things of life. Both of these are certainly necessary, which would also explain them being mentioned together in close association. They also strike the fancy of my thoughts, as well as considering them with Pokémon, and that becomes the subject and purpose of this post.
According to the person who explained it, in fact, a person cannot survive on simply one or the other. Applying this to Pokémon, it's conceivable that this would apply not only to the people (Trainers) but also the Pokémon species, some of which might just appear to display similar characteristics and capabilities of critical and spiritual thinking as the people do. That could happen whether they're caught up in an intense battle or just dealing with everyday activities, which is also essentially the gist of the situation according to the person: the processes are applicable anywhere and any time.
The ways that the person explain, in a way, might also seem similar to the ways that have been explained by a certain person within the Pokémon world itself about the keys of the species' powers to attack. The "focus" would represent the "concentration" part of it, and the "control" would represent the "contemplation". Looking at things in this manner, there is the sense that the critical thinking is to make the attack happen and the spiritual thinking is to get it as good as and where one wants it to be.
I'm certainly taken by anything that explains the workings of human processes to understand myself as one. For me as a Pokémon fan, that seems to be especially more so to consider them in and out of Pokémon. There's a lot to understand about myself - and perhaps still plenty more that I don't - so these conceptualizations help in this regard. With regard to Pokémon, that may be manifested in different ways, but even concentration and contemplation might still find a way within those ways.
