I just like to share this small extract from one of my favorite books 'The Tao of Pooh'. In his book 'The Self-Aware Universe' author Ami Goswami Ph.D.used this charming story below to help us understand that according to the new physics everything is considered an extension of ourselves.
He observes that 'In our search for meaning, structure and reality we are often facing the same puzzle that confronts Winnie the Pooh here:
'Hallo' said Piglet 'what are you doing?'
'Hunting' said Pooh.
'Hunting what?'
'Tracking something' said Winnie the Pooh very misteriously.
'Tracking what?' said Piglet coming closer
'That's just what I ask myself. I ask myself, What?'
'What do you think you'll answer?'
'I shall have to wait until I catch up with it,' said Winnie-the-Pooh
'Now look there.' He pointed to the round in front of him. 'What do you see there?'
'Tracks' said Piglet. 'Paw-marks'. He gave a little squeak of excitement. 'Oh Pooh! Do you think it's a-----a------Woozle?'
'It may be.' said Pooh. 'Sometime it is and sometimes it isn't. You can never tell with paw-marks.'
'Wait a moment.' said Winnie-the-Pooh, holding up his paw. He sat down and thought, in the most thoughtful way he could think. Then he fitted his paw into one of the Tracks....and then he scratched his nose twice, and stood up.
'Yes' said Winnie-the-Pooh. 'I see now' said Winnie-the-Pooh. I have been foolish and deluded,' said he, 'and I am a Bear of No Brain at ALL'.
