"Our problem is that we have three words – the 'seer,' 'sees,' and the 'seen' – for one single activity, the experience of seeing. We then naturally assume that we are 'just' the seer which is totally divorced from the seen."
"Our symbolic map-making is precisely the process which superimposes boundaries on reality. To see a 'thing' is to think; to think is to picture 'things' to yourself–'thinking' and 'thinging' are thus two different names for the net of boundaries we toss over reality."
– Ken Wilber, No Boundary
