To reiterate, the reduction is not a technical procedure, rule, tactic, strategy, or a determinate set of steps that we should apply to the phenomenon that is being researched. Rather, the reduction is an attentive turning to the world and seeing the uniqueness or singularity of something when in an open state of mind, effectuated by the epoché. It is because of this openness that the essential insight may occur that remembrances or memories are “held in the things around us,” and that memories may be released through sensory contact, even though these occurrences are not really predictable or under our control.
