I think, Therefore I Limit Myself
Tuesday, September 13, 2005
The language, and the processes which stem from it, merely release the fundamental order which is native to us. The do not teach us, they only remind us of what we know already, and of what we shall discover time and time again, when we give up our ideas and opinions, and do exactly what emerges from ourselves.
-Christopher Alexander, The Timeless Way of Building
Sometimes, when I stop thinking, my practice becomes something wonderful that I previously could not conceive, and because I could not conceive it, I was preventing it.

"Stop thinking, just do".....I get this from my teachers all the time, handed down from Guruji.
So true. Hard to stop the chitter-chatter though, but indeed that is the point, no?...so first step is recognition!
