Dan Millman Quotes
Lao-tzu Advised, "As Soon As You Have A Thought, Laugh At It," Because Reality Is Not What We Think. We Perceive The World Through A Window Colored By Beliefs, Interpretations, And Associations. We See Things Not As They Are But As We Are. The Same Brain That Enables Us To Contemplate Philosophy, Solve Math Equations, And Create Poetry Also Generates A Stream Of Static Known As Discursive Thoughts, Which Seem To Arise At Random, Bubbling Up Into Our Awareness. Such Mental Noise Is A Natural Phenomenon, No More Of A Problem Than The Dreams That Appear In The Sleep State. Therefore, Our Schooling Aims Not To Struggle With Random Thoughts But To Transcend Them In The Present Moment, Where No Thoughts Exist, Only Awareness. Our Mind's Liberation Awaits Not In Some Imagined Future But Here And Now.
