Something About So-Called Truth
As I
can understand understand it, thinking is not the best tool for finding and getting the truth. When you are thinking about any subject you are just moving around like water around a drop of oil and having no chance to penetrate it. And the drop of oil also has no chance to leave its borders. Let's imagine you study
a the life of a rose. You can read lots of books about its variety, you can get
an accurate knowledge about its anatomy, cytology, biochemistry, genetics. But after all that can you tell anybody what
does it mean it means to be a rose? Can you feel like a rose? Can you describe how
is it it is to have
a the consciousness of a rose?
Next. Take Next, take an ant and set it on a vertical stick. The ant will climb to the upper tip. If you turn the stick over the ant will climb up again. This being has no idea that you are cheating it. And do you think an ant knows that you exist?:) I guess it doesn't know:) I can figuratively compare the human's habit of trusting only in thinking with the behavior of that ant. The bottom line is that each being has its borders of consciousness and
looks around* through a pipe. In addition, each human being uses a pipe with
its a** unique set of colored lenses and stones in the space between them. Each unique set of lenses is your nationality, the culture in which
space you are educated. The stones are the mental blocks, the consequences of psychological traumas which you have
got experienced during your life. If a human being craves to explore the world
its it's necessary
at least to to at least get out of
its their habitual culture, cast away old сommon understandings of what is wrong and what is right, good and bad, and heal the wounds and scars in the soul. In case of success, in fact, it turns out that the previous person consistently dies and is replaced by a new
person like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. P.S. A human being can feel, it has the
ability abilities of empathy and intuition. But most of us put those abilities aside
each the moment
when we start thinking (actually we mostly never stop thinking). Just remember
out, do you think exactly in the moment when you are feeling anything? Thinking, analyzing, calculating all start a moment later. No matter whether it concerns bodily sensitivity or emotional experience or intuitive feeling. I hope that feeling is a wider way*** than thinking.
*This is grammatically correct, but a phrase like "sees the world through a pipe" might sound better and be clearer.
**Using "its" implies the lenses have already been mentioned. Using "a" introduces them.
***Perhaps "more flexible approach" would fit here.
This is beautifully written! I love your sentence about the water on oil.
