What I miss in this discuss is thought being given to the thinking process
itself. The analysis of how we think...what are the constituent parts of our
thinking.
The intellectual level has been such a pain in the arse. Well; do something
with it!
And, when you do think about them, they are our senses. We think in pictures
(visual), sounds (auditory) feelings (kinesthetics) and smell and taste
(Olfactory).
Nobody listens.
There are types of meditation where one becomes
aware of one's internal processes. But I'm quite
sure that in becoming aware, one transforms the
process. Is that what you mean?
I do not hear any in this forum complaining about
their lives. No one's talking about needing to
make big changes or adjustments. No one seems to
suspect that they are not in total control of their thinking experience.
I agree that thinking includes pictures, sounds,
feelings, etc. For a couple of years I had a
daily meditation practice. It didn't take long
before I could watch my thoughts coming and
going. How one thought linked to another was
quite remarkable, and often extremely
humorous. After that, unless confronted with a
problem or a puzzle, I do not take my thoughts too seriously.
What can you say about your thinking
experience? Have any insights you wish to offer?
All these theories about the workings of the brain, where lies what.
Psychologists always coming up with this and that, exactly what Pirsig found
out in his lab. experiments.
During my student days, I have never read a report written by a psychologist
that was conclusive in the sense that you could do something with it. It
always ended with "More research needs to be done on this". They created
their own hypotheses for further research and securing their own
positions... .
Exactly!
Anyway
Whether you are just conversing with your neighbour or intellectualising at
some abstract metaphysical level you still use these self same
representations. It's all we have. We should not kid ourselves otherwise.
ZMM and Lila are full of this..if you look carefully. Einstein said so much,
Poincarré said so much, Proust said so much.Bohr said so much.
"There are some things so serious you have to laugh at them."

"There are trivial truths and the great truths.
The opposite of a trivial truth is plainly false.
The opposite of a great truth is also true."
