Peace and mind

 PEACE & MIND - FOR A MINDFUL PEACE
#StandWithUkraine #MindfulPeace

For promoting and establishing Peace we need to understand each other.
For understanding each other we need to understand the human mind, how the mind works, knowing.

How do we know?
How do we perceive?

A person perceiving something does not become that something:
it is the something that becomes (a part of) the person, that's assimilation."
More precisely: that something (a part of the physical world) becomes a specific mental object in the experiential world of the person.

So, each of us lives in two worlds: the physical environment and her/his own experiential world.

This is based on a statement by Piaget (see image):
"A rabbit that eats a cabbage does not become a cabbage: it's the cabbage that becomes a rabbit, that's assimilation." - Jean Piaget, 1977
Original:
"Un lapin qui mange un chou ne devient pas un chou: c'est le chou qui devient du lapin, c'est ça l'assimilation." - Jean Piaget, 1977
