You donβt control the bike by speeding up your thoughts.
The mind, like a bicycle, doesnβt need more force β it needs balance.
Clarity comes from relaxed attention, not from accelerating cognition.
Concept
Itβs like playing with shadows on the wall:
β’ A rabbit shadow π can scare a child.
β’ But it isnβt a real rabbit: itβs only a projection of light and shape.
β’ Concepts are those shadows: useful for playing, but they should not be mistaken for what is real.
Two people look at the same storm βοΈ:
One feels fear: βItβs going to destroy everything!β
Another feels beauty: βHow majestic nature is.β
Did the storm change? No.
π What changed is the mind that interprets it.
So, what we experience is not βthe storm itself,β but our own inner relationship with it.
Experience is an interdependent processβever-changing, without fixed essence, yet full of effects and impact.
Seeing this clearly helps us avoid clinging or rejecting. Instead, we move through life with greater lightness, flow, and freedom.
We enjoyed a wonderful day in Switzerland on a small budget.
With 20 CHF for gas and 50 CHF for healthy snacks and drinks, we spent only 70 CHF in total.
From 9:00 to 15:50, including a 1 hour 45 minutes car drive, we had an amazing day!
