Everyone around you knows more than you.
Our individual experience of the world is fantastically limited. Considering the reach of our imagination, our ability to perceive what is actually happening to us is microscopic. If you ever had a reason to consider the benefits of your race as a single organism, here is a really good one. We are all designed to deliver the distilled contents of our life experience in a highly suitable and digestible fashion for other humans. That is, you can take something it has taken your entire life to learn and teach it to another instantly. When you consider the possible learning that is available from the thousands of relationships you might have in your life, the potential results could be staggering.
Schools are not only a place to learn but, to learn how to learn. If your teachers only spew information at you they are doing you a terrible disservice. If they have done their job well, you will learn to see the world, and the people in it, as an open and proactively interactive book.
Imagine if all the lessons we have hard won could be instantly transmitted to those around us. Our natural immunity to bad ideas slows this process by necessity but, if your conscious mind is actively sharing, seeking and vetting new ideas the process can be as rewarding as an olympic athletes performance on a excellent diet.
It takes time to teach the body new skills. Have you designed yourself to be an efficient learner?
Tune your ear to hear wisdom. Tune out the chatter of gossip, Judgment, ego and self doubt.
Focus your mind on opening to miraculous leaps in understanding. Let go of the need to be right, better than and accepted.
Speak the truth of what you have hard one. Silence words who's only value is filing time.
Most importantly, open your heart to the possibility that everyone around you knows more than you can possibly know on your own, that you are part of a great process of knowing and entitled to as much of that birthright as you can design yourself to absorb.
If doing what you dream is impossible, don't change the dream change the rules. See you in the sky. Jonathon |
