How concepts can limit our understanding
Division and the concept of space
Past, present, future, and the concept of time
The constriction within self-image
Projection and self-assessment
Age, culture, race, and other created constructs
When concepts can be useful
“Our perceptions are concepts about what we are experiencing. This overlay on experience very often conditions how we feel about that experience. And, one of the startling things about all this, is that often our perceptions are inaccurate and yet they are conditioning the experience we are having.”– Joseph Goldstein
