"Consciousness can be thought of as a sandbox. There are drawings, castles, mounds, but what is behind all these names, labels and forms; Sand. All these images and creations are built with the pure sand. That pure layer of sand gives us the contrast to see these creations made of itself. On one level there are different drawings and castles, with different emotions and feelings associated. Though the ultimate truth is just SAND. Now let’s say a thought is a drawing in the sand, and action is a sand castle. The difference is the complexity of the sand gathered. The drawing or thought is just a simple line in the sand. The castle is complex formation of that sand. To the sand, there is no preference between a good or bad castle, or a good and bad drawing. It’s all just sand."
