Abstract
Jacob Needleman is correct: Ideas are radically different from and more powerful than concepts. Concepts are closed definitions fully encompassed by words, while ideas are open-ended and include an experiential element. This is why I have found even the best definitions of mindfulness unexciting and unhelpful, while the underlying idea of being fully present has changed my life.
