| BkIII:13.III.1 | Using a faculty for what it is not intended leads to problems. You cannot use a car to reach the moon, even though it is a means of transport just as a spaceship is. We have also recognized and abandoned the confusion about the body as a means of communication and as your identity, a distortion effected by the ego. This confusion about the purpose of the body is similar to the confusion of which we speak now—that the thinking mind has been considered to be something it is not. |
