(I liken thinking to consciousness being expanded in time and doing to consciousness being expanded in space.)
When we are thinking are awareness is pulled in from space. We are inside our heads or inside of our minds in imaginary space. This is the “time” when we sense possible ideas we’d like to make real and we choose from among them. This is also the space where we look back at the things we have done so that we learn from the experiences.
We can also break down big ideas into the small components that make them up. Why? So we that when we are doing, we can focus on doing those components one at a time.
While doing our consciousness is expanded in space and that is when we use our awareness to sense both ourselves and what is around us so that we can respond to what we sense.
