Nicole Krauss’s Beautiful Letter to Van Gogh on How to Break the Loop of Our Destructive Patterns. “Feeling helpless and confused in the face of random, unpatterned events, we seek to order them and, in so doing, gain a sense of control over them,” the great psychiatrist Irvin D.
Yalom wrote in his magnificent meditation on uncertainty and our search for meaning. But as our terror of losing control compels us to grasp for order and certainty, we all too often end up creating patterns that ultimately don’t serve us, then repeat those patterns under the illusion of control. These patterns of belief — about who we are, about who others are, about how the world works — come to shape our behavior, which in turn shapes our reality, creating a loop that calls to mind physicist David Bohm’s enduring wisdom: “Reality is what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is what we believe… What we believe determines what we take to be true.” Krauss writes: Hindu History. Winter Solstice: Death & Rebirth of Light. M02~Believe-Nothing-Buddha-Posters.jpg (JPEG Image, 400 × 406 pixels) Atlantis. Tour. History/Myths/Religion. Paganism/Wicca.
