Thisness

There’s no need for a map when you are the territory.

Reality, life, is not One, not Two, not even Many or Nothing. It is indeterminate and does not allow itself to be determined. It knows no security, is unpredictable and leaves no traces. Life can have hierarchies and symmetries, but it is messy at the same time. It escapes all of our rational, orderly thinking.

Ton Haarmans in Wide Open Windows

You don’t have to believe in a dream to act in a dream, and you don’t have to know what things actually are or are not to live, any more than a squirrel needs to know the definition of a tree or a nut or even a ‘squirrel.’

Miranda Warren

Language obscures immediately.

It is only knowledge that has limits. Belief is limitless to the point of absurdity. While in immediate experience, as knowing, everything is evident and there is no doubt at all.

Ton Haarmans

Truth is the direct perception of the unknown before interpretation.

Shiv Sengupta

Don’t search for The Truth, just stop cherishing opinions.

Hsin-Hsin Ming

When we really look, inquire and rigorously interrogate our experience with the utmost honesty and sensitivity can we really find any thing(s) at all, anywhere to land, anything that can be named, labelled, described or otherwise defined?

Questioning authority (including your own!) is the beginning of freedom of thought.
