Taisen Deshimaru Thinking Quotations

We should learn to think with our fingers.

Think with the whole body.

Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am." I say, "I do not think, that is why I exist."

The body moves naturally, automatically, without any personal intervention or awareness. If we think too much, our actions become slow and hesitant.

Nobody today is normal, everybody is a little bit crazy or unbalanced, people's minds are running all the time. Their perceptions of the world are partial, incomplete. They are eaten alive by their egos. They think they see, but they are mistaken; all they do is project their madness, their world, upon the world. There is no clarity, no wisdom in that!

Think with your whole body.
