Square-circles Vs. God
#61
RE: Square-circles Vs. God
What I'm hearing is, "Wouldn't it be great if we could not think about things and just experience..."

Sure, it would be great, but as far as I see it's impossible. Our brain is a filter that everything goes to be processed before we learn anything. We have other knee-jerk reactions for safety like our spine telling us to stop touching the hot surface of course, but I don't think this is the sort of thing you can do for long periods and achieve anything. Even if you did, you'd have to think about what you learned, or think about how to apply your revelations.

Even subconscious thinking is thinking. I guess you can try and limit conscious thought, but that's really just meditation/introspection. Which is a good thing to do.

If I'm missing something here, I'm happy to be corrected Smile
