“I don't give myself time to think" and in effect
that's true. We perceive an event, then rush to check our treasure trove
memory for 'experience' looking for something that compares. Too often
the experience then triggers the same feeling we had, so places that memory
over what 'is' currently happening. Then that triggers a bundle of 'memory traces' as
if it were happening again.....
How about, for a change, we 'experience'
something totally new and not prejudge, or filter out what is actually
happening? How about pausing with what we 'think' its 'like' then instead
entertain "What is that?" Free from resisting allows opportunity
to whisper its options. Instead of 'reasons' for action; why not reason with
intent to discover? Socrates said, "All I know is that I know
nothing" That is an invite to forgo judging ourselves being
'stupid' when the truth presents itself before us. Let’s instead, embrace
our walk as going from ignorance to wisdom. So it goes, that most of the
time we should know nothing. We're looking. Some refer to that as being
innocent
