為何【思考是最緩慢的創造】工具?– 2/2篇
Being(存在) 即是,思維則做。(Beingness is, thought does.)
Being並非一個行動(action),它不是一種任務承擔(undertaking),它不是什麼發生的事。
毋寧說它是「它所是」的東西。
它是個「如是」——它本是的樣子。
思維是一個「過程」,一種「作為」,某事發生的過程。
(Thought is a process, a “doingness”, something that happens)
任何「發生」的事都需要時間。
它可以發生得非常快,就像思維,但它還是需要花我們所謂的時間。
不過,某個「是」的東西,只是「是」。
它是當下。它不是「將要成為」;它是在此時此地。
簡言之,「是」比「做」快,所以「存在」 (being)比「思考」(thinking) 快。
摘自《與神為友》第12章
Beingness is, thought does.
It says that beingness is not an action, it is not an undertaking, it is not something that occurs. Rather, it is an “is—ness.” It is what is. It is a so—ness —it is what is so.
It says that thought is a process, a “doingness,” something that happens.
Anything that “happens” takes time. It may happen very fast, like thought, but it still takes what we call time. Something that “is,” however, simply is. It is right now. It’s not “going to be”; it is right here, right now.
In short, “is—ing” is faster than “doing,” and “being” is therefore faster than “thinking.”
