We have been educated basically, from, conditioning, attributions: you are "this way", you are like your father, like your uncle, you are clumsy, you are clever, you are pretty, you are ugly. We have grown through mandates: you have to be, you have to do. The problem is what we believe rather than what we believe.
We have to do a job on false beliefs. Our brain is our learning instrument. This brain has two innate abilities:
1) Understand the information, thanks to that we know.
2) Prevents experiences from being forgotten, memory. We all look for the experience so that we can later remember it and make use of it later. That way we think we can avoid problems.
We have made history the focus of our lives so wrongly that when we look at a tree we translate the instantaneous experience into a word, a memory, a sensation. The synthetic process leads us to have an adequate representation of that world based on what we previously compared.
We have streamlined memory, we have made it the king of the mambo. We have made memory the fundamental object of the human being.
However, we have forgotten another quality of the mind: comprehension. We can stay feeling and thinking for hours. A person is able to sit up, look at a wall and almost fall asleep because the mind is swarming everywhere. However, we do not remain, we do not understand.
We do not know how to look at a flower and stay in it. We do not know how to distance history from that moment. When we take an object and contemplate it without attaching anything of the history that it has in us, that object becomes free and makes our reaction to the world free and when many men see the world in this way, the world becomes free. .
