Humans are perhaps the only species that eat the stories they cook.
Even our closest cousins – the chimps – live in the world “as they find it”.
We humans are the only ones who – live in a world “as we make of it”.
And we make of it through many stories –
Religion, Nation, Money, Status, Happiness, Morality, Afterlife…
We can go on…
We made stories to make sense of the world.
Now we are caged in them.
Wisdom is – to separate the story from reality.
Mind cooks stories. Mind can’t be the anchor of wisdom.
Beyond The Mind- Lies Wisdom.
