Yet, In Spite Of This World-wide System

Another Problem Of Fragmentation Is That Thought Divides Itself From Feeling And From The Body. Thought Is Said To Be The Mind; We Have The Notion That It Is Something Abstract Or Spiritual Or Immaterial. Then There Is The Body, Which Is Very Physical. And We Have Emotions, Which Are Perhaps Somewhere In Between. The Idea Is That They Are All Different. That Is, We Think Of Them As Different. And We Experience Them As Different Because We Think Of Them As Different.

From The Point Of View Of The Species, Death Is Part Of This Whole Process. You Could Say That Species Have Evolved In Such A Way That Individual Members Last A Certain Time. Perhaps A Certain Kind Of Species Would Be Better Able To Survive If The Individuals Didn't Last Too Long. Other Kinds Could Last Longer.

We Could Say That Practically All The Problems Of The Human Race Are Due To The Fact That Thought Is Not Proprioceptive.

Thought Is Constantly Creating Problems That Way And Then Trying To Solve Them. But As It Tries To Solve Them It Makes It Worse Because It Doesn't Notice That It's Creating Them, And The More It Thinks, The More Problems It Creates.

Indeed, The Attempt To Live According To The Notion That The Fragments Are Really Separate Is, In Essence, What Has Led To The Growing Series Of Extremely Urgent Crises That Is Confronting Us Today.
