Development of Thinking and Loss of Original Rootedness
The evolution of human consciousness involved the development of thinking and conceptualization. However, this marked a significant shift that resulted in humans losing their original rootedness in being. The ability to think and conceptualize brought progress and civilizations, but it also brought suffering and unhappiness. Humans began to identify with their thoughts and concepts, seeking their sense of self in external factors like the body, possessions, achievements, and social status. This resulted in a fragmented and diminished sense of self, leading to comparison, competition, and a constant search for validation.
