Thoughts on Everything
Thinking is something very few people do well. Critical thinking that is. But how does one become a better critical thinker? The obvious answer is to practice as that is how progress is made in any realm, to practice and get better at. But how does one practice thinking most people can’t really define it or even know what it is?
There are fewer abilities that will work to our benefit than developing an ability to think on an elevated level. To develop consciousness, we have to think. There is no app for this endeavor. There is no shortcut. We all have more than one way of thinking but tend to rely one one more than the other. Most of our daily lives are ruled by our adaptive unconscious and our subconscious processes but the jewels we all have but seldom discover are in our conscious thought processes.
It is in our conscious thought processes where we create, dream, envision, and change. Most of us react, memorize, and repeat and confuse this with thinking. If you find you have more answers than questions bouncing around in that skull of yours you do not do enough thinking.
There are more than a few reasons so few of us develop our ability to think. One is that it is difficult. Higher thinking requires us to ask questions, of everything. This is ok for children but somewhere along the way asking a ton of questions beyond a certain outside the parameters of certain topics is somewhat taboo. Cultures of every kind perpetuate this because the status quo becomes the path of least resistance.
The thing is, the most magnificent that have ever come about in our society today have come about because of elevated thinking, higher consciousness, and asking questions. Inventions and advancements in every realm of the technological scope are a result of this process. So few people do this but society as whole benefits greatly because of it. Think for a second if there was no thought of creating the light bulb, the automobile, airplanes, the Internet, the smart phone, sneakers, flat screen televisions, or heaven forbid, social media.
Not only does society as a whole benefit from elevated thinking and consciousness but you as the individual benefits greatly as well. You consistently work on becoming the best version of yourself and this has no limit. Start to question everything about yourself in terms of your thought, beliefs, expectations and so on and work on creating or expanding your visions and dreams. You may just be that next person that changed the world for everyone.
