When thought divides life into “things,” it forgets that nothing stands still. Change is not what happens to things – change is all there is. Thought – the image, the word, or the voice, and the emotion that comes with it – divides what it codes and perceives into “things.” The symbol (the image, the word, or the voice) has a shape, a meaning, and often an emotion attached to it – pleasurable or painful, all registered as memory and lived organically whenever thinking occurs. In this way, thought gives form to what it calls a “thing.” But these “things” created by thought are, in reality, nothing but change. They do not change; they are change. There is no “thing” that is changing, because the “thing” is only the shape, meaning, and expected emotion created by thought as symbol – a code it gives to functionally symbolize what never was a thing. Change is all there is. #change #impermanence #consciousness #perception #selfinquiry #innerwork #presence #mindbodyconnection #holistich...
