You don’t control the bike by speeding up your thoughts.
The mind, like a bicycle, doesn’t need more force — it needs balance.
Clarity comes from relaxed attention, not from accelerating cognition.
Concept
It’s like playing with shadows on the wall:
• A rabbit shadow 🐇 can scare a child.
• But it isn’t a real rabbit: it’s only a projection of light and shape.
• Concepts are those shadows: useful for playing, but they should not be mistaken for what is real.
Two people look at the same storm ⛈️:
One feels fear: “It’s going to destroy everything!”
Another feels beauty: “How majestic nature is.”
Did the storm change? No.
👉 What changed is the mind that interprets it.
So, what we experience is not “the storm itself,” but our own inner relationship with it.
Experience is an interdependent process—ever-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.
