"human being is simply “the third chimpanzee,” and that the human mind is merely a souped-up version of the chimpanzee mind. Two species of chimpanzee are currently recognized, the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and the smaller bonobo (Pan paniscus); if humans were classified with chimpanzees, we would be the third. According to one reckoning, we share about 98 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees, so surely, the reasoning goes, the 100 percent chimpanzees hold the secret."

"In reality, all we’re “doing” in meditation is forming and holding specific conscious intention—nothing more. In fact, while it may not be obvious, all our achievements originate from intentions. Consider learning to play catch. As a child, you may have wanted to play catch, but at first your arm and hand just didn’t move in quite the right way. However, by sustaining the intention to catch the ball, after much practice, your arm and hand eventually performed the task whenever you wanted. “You” don’t play catch. Instead, you just intend to catch the ball, and the rest follows. “You” intend, and the body acts."
