But seriously to me the best ideas transcend thought all together... actually they boggle the mind such that all thought stops so that the whole of reality... the whole of what is can pour into you uninterrupted by thinking and suddenly you have the opportunity to experience everything directly without mental commentary or concepts... all you get is the vastness of what is.

Those moments when you%26#039;re listening to someone talk and the profound reality of this person%26#039;s humanity hits you like a brick. This person was born, grew up, has wounds, has unique internal fears and joys and experiences, is talking to you, will go home, eat dinner, go to bed, have children, grow old, bury their spouse and die someday. Those are magical moments.
