Heir Conditioning!
I now know why the mystics, those enlightened ones, chose to sit on top of a rock – in a desert – by a sole tree – for months and years on end. Staring at a grain of sand. Returning with a deep and rich appreciation of almost everything. Ever thought why? Well here’s one idea.A Rock. A Hard Place.
After a while, a rock, a horizon line and a tree gives way to our ability to actually think. This lack of ‘other’ stimulus actually let’s our brains work; for thinking to take over. Free of anything else. As opposed to those of us in the western world. A world of chaotic and blinding complexity where our 21st Century brains can’t think. Our brains are full. Processing tanker loads of noise – spurious input – bombarding us daily.
Take a look around.
Your office, and all the stimulus it contains and causes within your brain, is probably more than enough for one lifetime of mental reasoning on its own. If you had to properly crack all the incoming data how long would that really take? Your eyes are taking in lot’s more additional data, trying to process that at the same time. Then add your travel experiences, your equivalent input from everything hitting you at home, at play and whatever else. The tree and the rock and the horizon begin to seem a long way off. What room is left for actual thinking? People tell me that our brains can cope and are actually a muscle. Well I guess that’s true but some people can run the 100 meters sub 10 seconds but not all of us have the ability to choose what muscles we might need to work and when. In modern context what if we have just so much incoming that perhaps we are just not ready to process at this level. Read More http://www.grouppartnerswiki.net/index.php?title=Conditioning
