Abstract

All the time we are aware of millions of things around us …d not possibly be conscious of these things and remember all of them because our mind would be so full of useless details we would be unable to think. From all this awareness we must select … a handful of sand from the endless landscape of awareness around us and call the handful of sand the world. (p. 69)
