- Lao Tzu
“I think,
therefore I am” Or ”I am, therefore I think?”
It’s
interesting to think about.I’ve often wondered about the ramifications of what it means to be a conscious creature.
To be human, is to be conscious of a self.
Once self-awareness
occurs, he contemplates.
Once he
contemplates, he senses anxiety from our insatiable appetites and our
disconcerting impermanence.Once he senses anxiety, he distorts the reality.
Distorting
the reality exposes the yearning and credulity of our species.
Exposing the
credulity and yearning of our species brings awareness to the illusion of self.
The illusion
of self is the confined space that we inhabit.
The space we
inhabit is the consciousness of thought.
The
consciousness of thought is the origins of cognition.
The origin
of cognition is the beginnings of humanity.
The
beginning of humanity is what it means to be conscious of self.
And that’s
the ramifications of being a conscious creature.It’s interesting to think about.
"I think, therefore I am”
“The day you decide you
are more interested in being aware of your thoughts than you are in the thoughts
themselves - that is the day you will find your way out”
