Intersting Worlds We Inhabit and Create

[Guest guest]

Scientists say we see only two per cent of reality. Only two per cent!

Ninety-eight per cent is missed. When you are listening to me you will

hear only two per cent of what has been told, of what has been said.

Ninety-eight per cent will be lost. and when the ninety-eight per cent

is lost, that two per cent is out of context. It is as if you have

taken two pages from a novel, at random -- one from here, one from

there -- and then you start reconstructing the whole novel from these

two pages. Ninety-eight pages are missing. You have no inkling what

they were; you don't even know that they were. You have only two pages

and you reconstruct the whole novel again. This reconstruction is your

invention. It is not discovery of truth, it is your imagination.

 

And there is an inner necessity to fill the gaps. Whenever you see

that two things are unrelated, the mind has an inner urgency to relate

them. Otherwise it feels very uneasy. So you invent a link, you fix

those loose things with a link, you bridge them. And you go on

inventing a world that is not there.
