Conceptual Thinking Quotes

“No one has any obligations to a concept; that is what is so agreeable about conceptuality—it promises protection from experience.”
― C.G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections

“What if some games, and the more general concept of ‘play,’ not only provide outlets for entertainment but also function as means for creative expression, as instruments for conceptual thinking, or as tools to help examine or work through social issues.”
― Mary Flanagan, Critical Play: Radical Game Design

“The patterns the whales used for communication, the three-dimensional shapes, as transparent to sound as solid objects, could express any concept. Any concept except, perhaps, vacuum, infinity, nothingness so complete it would never become anything. The nearest way she could try to describe it was with silence.”
― Vonda N. McIntyre, Superluminal

“Autism give us a chance to know our "Quantumness" have a deeper Insight, Understand and raise collective Consciousness.”
― Syed Sharukh

“In esoteric traditions, such conceptual schemes are considered a function of conditioning, not an inherent part of what is. Nonduality abides no contrast or comparison, no distinction between this and that, and no sequence of before and after. Beneath the surface play of phenomena, there is a formless, undifferentiated realm invisible to the naked eye; devoid of all parts, there remains only the unceasing flow and energy of life. Any concept of the Divine, therefore, is misleading, as it stands in the way of the deepest insights into the nature of reality. "God" is a concept, and, as such, is considered a misguided attempt to capture the infinite in the finite--to limit that which is limitless. As Mariana Caplan points out, "it is our imagination of God that fails," not God who fails us. St. Augustine voiced the same insight sixteen hundred years ago when he said God was not what we imagine or think we understand.”
