Q
“Thinking fragments reality - it cuts it up into conceptual bits and pieces”
- Eckhart Tolle -
A
“The human mind, in its desire to know, understand and control, mistakes its opinions and view points for the truth. It says: this is how it is.
You have to be larger than thought to realise that however you interpret ‘your life’ or someone else’s life or behaviour, however you judge any situation, it is no more than a viewpoint, one of many possible perspectives. It is no more than a bundle of thoughts.
But reality is one unified whole, in which all things are interwoven, where nothing exists in and by itself.
Thinking fragments reality - it cuts it up into conceptual bits and pieces”
- Eckhart Tolle -
