Why the RIGHT Teacher is Necessary - And the Perils of the Self-Taught - OM School
31"The best teachers are those who show you where to look but don’t tell you what to see." – Alexandra K. Trenfor
Why have little to no idea how trapped we are in our conceptual models of reality.
We are convinced that what I think about any give experience is the reality of that experience. In fact, that act of conceptualizing what is happening happens so fast that we are no even aware that it is happening. By conceptualizing I mean describing, comparing, remembering, identifying, associating, all the things our minds do when ever we experience anything.
What this means is, when any new bit of information is received it is immediately interpreted according to what ever our current view of this is. The moment a new bit of information is received, your mind immediately begins to compare it to what it already knows. If it finds a perfect match then it replaces the actual information with the interpretation of that information. if it doesn't find a perfect match it gets as close as it can and then replaces the bit with its derived interpretation. And, if it is has no context whatsoever, it just makes something up.
