american-scientist connected language means modern system
I would say that thought makes what is often called in modern language a SYSTEM. A system means a set of connected things or parts.
individuality awareness ifs
Individuality is only possible if it unfolds from wholeness.
inspirational giving transformation
In nature nothing remains constant. Everything is in a perpetual state of transformation, motion, and change. However, we discover that nothing simply surges up out of nothing without having antecedents that existed before. Likewise, nothing ever disappears without a trace, in the sense that it gives rise to absolutely nothing existing in later times.
movement mechanic quantum
In relativity, movement is continuous, causally determinate and well defined, while in quantum mechanics it is discontinuous, not causally determinate and not well defined.
technology race wonder
So one begins to wonder what is going to happen to the human race. Technology keeps on advancing with greater and greater power, either for good or for destruction.
american-scientist break misleading therefore wrong
Therefore it would be wrong and misleading to break it up into my thought, your thought, my feelings, these feelings, those feelings.
knowledge learning thinking
The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained.
race facts problem
We could say that practically all the problems of the human race are due to the fact that thought is not proprioceptive.

Ultimately, the entire universe...has to be understood as a single undivided whole...
player order games
Consciousness is much more of the implicate order than is matter . . . Yet at a deeper level [matter and consciousness] are actually inseparable and interwoven , just as in the computer game the player and the screen are united by participation.
understanding fabric fields
We are all linked by a fabric of unseen connections. This fabric is constantly changing and evolving. This field is directly structured and influenced by our behavior and by our understanding.
independent reality fundamentals
We have reversed the usual classical notion that the independent "elementary parts" of the world are the fundamental reality, and that the various systems are merely particular contingent forms and arrangements of these parts. Rather, we say that inseparable quantum interconnectedness of the whole universe is the fundamental reality, and that relatively independent behaving parts are merely particular and contingent forms within this whole.
mistake reality mind
We can't simply take the way things seem and just work on that, because that would be another kind of mistake thought makes-taking the surface and calling it the reality.
communication feelings promise
Yet, in spite of this world-wide system of linkages, there is, at this very moment, a general feeling that communication is breaking down everywhere, on an unparalleled scale.
