“We are not how the universe knows itself. We are how humans know the universe. Words and thoughts are our way of knowing, not THE way of knowing. Translating a mountain into a word, into a measurement, does not bring new knowledge into the world, it brings new knowledge into us. The mountain was perfectly in touch with its own wholeness without neurons, without language, without learning our name for it. We may have spotted the shores of understanding from our small boat, but we certainly didn't invent them.”
