Notes for “Beyond Comparison”

I found this an interesting read on the topic of distinction making and freedom. It’s an article from a zen perspective making connections between Gestalt principles and Zen practice. I’m not sharing it as any kind of representation of the goals for practice, instead because it paints a certain picture between the ways our habits of mind (saṅkhāras) define, build, and narrow experience.
