So my friend Tiffany tonight brought up a quote that really struck me.
It's by guiding Krishna Das and he says you can't think your way out of a box made of
thoughts
It got me thinking because people always say
that you should think outside the box and really when you think about it was does that even mean?
How do we think in a box and why are we in a box to begin with
and I think
what is really being said is that that with this
saying is the boxes I'll tell your thoughts
it's our way of seeing the world this condition way of seeing the world
through memory
that were trained to to the past to always kinda label things
their unique *** and find similarities in them like for example
when you see a treat instant a wave
I've seeing is you identified as a tree and maybe it's a completely unique
species a tree
and maybe it's completely unique toward all your trees
in that species we label is a tree and I think with this does that
it disenchanted the universe because people
end up living this life weatherboard and everything's been done and everything is
kinda the same
whereas you can actually reenter the universe by seen uniqueness
everything because everything is entirely unique every moment is unique
every tree is unique
you know every blade of grass is unique to limit incredibly and chanted cosmos
but overthinking really spoils it all and thinking all the time is what really
kills our creativity
because we're always thinking we can have these referees in
and knees insights they can bob loved or unconscious because they're blocked by S
costly thinking and stressing and be in the past and the future
and we look at Lake history's great geniuses people like I inside
they spent most hurt I'm not in verbalizing
thinking but in more visual thinking which is not really thinking it's really
more like
visualizing like ice time create a steer relativity
by about himself traveling on a beam of light
through the universe it wasn't that he was a working and formulas
in like obsessing over it and and thinking and thinking and thinking
he was a using visualization come up with it and then later on he
you know created the formulas actually hired some *** real other formulas
because he was like more big picture kinda guy or technical a Tesla
guy and basically invented the 20 century he
basically we create entire inventions in his head and
he would design them basically to perfection before he would actually
search think about how we could actually start to build it sorry thought
condition or reality
now we do is think last week a quieter mind it's hard to perceive things more
directly and less
through the condition sensor bar memory
sewn cuz I think outside the box
through things think less because we think too much
answer on doing because over thinking is what makes people miserable and
disenchanted universe
and we all wanted to you would be more creative be more alive
and we can't do that by getting outside the box thinking
and really just experiencing things directly for ourselves
and feeling completely connected and touch with the world
and we do that by acquiring our minds and meditation is a great way to do that
I highly recommend everyone try to exit
you know does amazing things your life alright
thank you for watching
