| BkVI:6.III.2 | The thinking mind uses the imagination to understand. That is how its thoughts take shape. To some extent we could say that the images created in the mind are how it tries to give existence to what it thinks. This is not a problem, since like consciousness, the mind creates within itself, as a mother begets within her womb. But the separated mind seeks to create in separation, and that is the source of suffering. |
