Conceptual confusion shows up when our ideas about ideas. thoughts and concepts fail to coincide with their true symbolic nature and purpose. The nature of Conceptual Reality is symbolic, in that concepts represent and reflect rather than create reality... unless we're referring to conceptual reality itself. One example is when we are identified with our thoughts and are unable to discriminate who we are from what we know. When we are too close to our thoughts, it is difficult to articulate. A certain detachment from thinking is necessary to create the space for a playful intellect. Creative thought is excited when we realize the possibility that thoughts don't belong to anyone. Concepts are autonomous images travelling freely from one mind to the next. Our ability to concentrate on a singular concept keeps it in our mind until we're ready to let it go. It may be a popular misconception to believe we: 1) Create our own concepts. 2) Own them and 3) Can forbid their use to others. This is simply a naive notion about the true nature of Thought.
