if you’re the slightest bit inclined, please join me in a round of the dictionary game! how do YOU define the words thinking, praying, and dreaming? what’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you ponder:
- the difference between thinking and praying
- what is dreaming?
here’s thomas’ take on the first question:
right away, looking at the differences between thinking and prayer. for me, thinking has a subject/object distinction, a thinker and a thought. it’s a way of discriminating and categorizing. the deepest way of thinking has an ability to see from many different perspectives.
prayer is an alignment, a deep listening creating conditions for knowing to arise. prayer has no boundaries. the prayer is the pray-er.
i’m really interested in what comes up for you. don’t think about it, just share!
thanks.
