THOUGHTS ON THINGS

Written By Duane Nelson

2 IDEAS FROM ME

  • Wisdom comes not from trying to control reality, but from directly accepting and experiencing it from your true awake awareness nature using both hemispheres of your brain. The left focuses on analysis, categorization, control, abstraction, and manipulation. The right perceives wholes, relationships, context, meaning, living systems, and direct experience.

  • We suffer when our analytical map is mistaken for the reality of the living territory. Attention shapes what we perceive. Reality is relational rather than mechanical. Consciousness can not be fully reduced to matter. Truth requires both scientific and direct experience. Reality is deeper, more interconnected, more conscious, and more mysterious than the modern materialist worldview allows.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  • “The quality of your attention determines the quality of your world experience.”—Ian McGilchrist “Master and It’s Emissary”

  • "The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable."—James A. Garfield

1 QUESTION FOR YOU TO EXPLORE

  • What daily habit enables you to revise your map of reality closer to the uncomfortable truth?

Namaste,
