(From a recent Facebook conversation)I’m on a roll here lol so let me complete my thought.In Islamic /Sufi terms we have the four enemies(hawa-desire,dunniya-worldliness,nafs-ego and shaytan-the devil).Each of these enemies uses thought as the vehicle for its negative inflence!Think about it.Is that not how it works?!This has always been true.But in modern times we have systematized this distortion through putting too much attention on planning,theorizing,algorithms(as they do in medicine and I.T.),procedures,etc..So essentially we have created a theology/religion based on Conceptual Thought .Some call this religion”Science”. Others call it “Coherency” or “Rationality” or even”Due Process” but, regardless of the name we give it, this leads us further and further away from Truth. Philosophically this is referred to as The Map vs. Territory problem.We have given way to much importance to the map and in the pursuit of this “control” we have lost the territory.God help us.
