The image that concerns most people is the reflection they see in other people's minds.

We need both information and thinking. Information is no substitute for thinking and thinking is no substitute for information.

Perception is real even when it is not reality.

One can think of a secretary actively operating a filing system, of a librarian actively cataloguing books, of a computer actively sorting out information. The mind however does not actively sort out information. The information sorts itself out and organises itself into patterns. The mind is passive. The mind only provides an opportunity for the information to behave in this way. The mind provides a special environment in which information can become self-organising. This special environment is a memory surface with special characteristics.

The Church has its problems, but the older I get, the more comfort I find there.

Complacency with our traditional judgement based thinking methods is not enough. Our existing thinking habits are excellent just as the rear wheel of a motor car is excellent but not enough. We need to put far more emphasis on creative and design thinking. Judgement and analysis are not enough.

I know it aches, how your heart it breaks. You can only take so much. Walk on.
