Difficult thing, this Reality: “"Reality" is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends upon what we think. What we think depends upon what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. What we take to be true is our reality.”
Gary Zukav in “The Dancing Wu Li Masters”, (1980, p.310) This quote is attributed by many to a David Bohm lecture at Berkely, 1977, with presumably Bohm as the originator. Zukav writes this phrase without reference to Bohm with the opening word “Reality” in inverted commas, and this gives me reason to think if he is not the originator, he is indeed the populariser, albeit perhaps inspired by Bohm.
Hi there, wondering if "Get Real" has been translated into Hebrew. Thanx, Giora Kenneth kenneth@netvision.net.il or Gmail.
