We have the idea that after we have been thinking something, it just evaporates. But thinking doesn't disappear. It goes somehow into the brain and leaves something-a trace-which becomes thought. And thought then acts automatically.

We could say that practically all the problems of the human race are due to the fact that thought is not proprioceptive.

We can't simply take the way things seem and just work on that, because that would be another kind of mistake thought makes-taking the surface and calling it the reality.

Ultimately, all moments are really one, therefore now is an eternity.

Can we learn to become more learning-oriented individually and collectively, rather than 'I know' oriented?

Thought is creating divisions out of itself and then saying that they are there naturally.

From the point of view of the species, death is part of this whole process. You could say that species have evolved in such a way that individual members last a certain time. Perhaps a certain kind of species would be better able to survive if the individuals didn't last too long. Other kinds could last longer.
