If you're quick!
There’s More to See
I came across the first quote this week by George Pransky. It’s wonderful: “When things look like reality, they’re scary. When things look like thought, they’re not so scary.” — Dr George Pransky
The transient nature of thought creates the transient nature of our experience at all times. That’s how it works. That’s how nature works.
I subsequently found this quote by the anthropologist Gregory Bateson, who coined the term genetics: “The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and the way people think.”
Two quotes with the same message. It would be easy to say that we get what we think. It’s more profound to say we are what we think. “I think, therefore, I am…”
If we think war will solve the problem, that’s what we are going to do; go to war. If we think hurting another will take away the pain we feel inside, we will hurt others. But the pain remains. War doesn't solve problems, hurting others doesn't soothe pain. That's simply not how nature works.
This is how nature works: “Thought creates our world and then says - I didn’t do it” - David Bohm
It’s quick. So quick we can almost miss it. But it’s always the same. Yet sometimes, we do see it. We see that we live in a world of thought, created by us, and then we remember that it's just a rollercoaster, not a runaway car.
And that, dear reader, is the key to your own freedom… if you can spot it. But you gotta be quick!
In the meantime, have a great week, learn heaps, love loads and then pass it on.
