Money Maps: What, Why & How 🧵 youtube.com/watch?v=GNHTxLkH…

You’re not supposed to be wise. You’re supposed to pick up the signal of when you were just stupid. And if you can do that, then you’re wise. — Eugene Gendlin

The hell with how Focusing is supposed to go. — Eugene Gendlin

A plant knows the water by being what it is. And we are just like that, too. — Eugene Gendlin

I think you are wise not to sail away from Athens to go and stay elsewhere, for if you were to behave like this as a stranger in another city, you would be driven away for practicing sorcery. — Meno, to Socrates

Thinking and speaking are special kinds of living. — Eugene Gendlin

When a word or a phrase really speaks from [the felt sense], you immediately feel that it has a certain value to you. If somebody came and said “Don’t use those words, use some other words,“ it would take a lot of a lot of persuading to put those down… because these already flow. They already speak from there. — Eugene Gendlin

If you check against your felt sense and discard immediately anything that cramps it, something else will come, and something else will come, and something else will come. And eventually something will come that has a continuity with your felt sense. — Eugene Gendlin

Thought forms.

The task of philosophy differs from that of science, for, unlike science, philosophy examines not our conclusions but the basic conceptual models we employ—the kind of concepts and ordering patterns we use. Philosophy concerns not the explanation of this or that but questions such as "What, really, is an explanation?" — Eugene Gendlin

If radios have not met the present human needs for companionship or meaning in life, is it desirable that the next development be TV? — Eugene Gendlin

Well @FU_joehudson indeed 🫣😅

I guess you never know what you got 'til it's gone — @kanyewest

…mirror-like, impenetrable eyes… precise, mirthless laughter… — Leo Tolstoy

There aren’t really any bodies. It just looks like that. — Eugene Gendlin

By “unique” I don’t mean that it’ll be unique forever. When she gets it articulated, we’re all going to say “Oh, yeah!” Unique is like that: unique at the beginning and universally significant at the end. — Eugene Gendlin

Just promise your body that you won’t say anything that it doesn’t want to say. — Eugene Gendlin

Unfolding occurs.

However huge any scientists choose to make the age of the cosmos, you are more ancient. However far into the distances of outer space they claim it reaches, you reach further. — @Peter_Kingsley
