Re: My reaction to new knowledge

Thanks for the great question and response. This is about learning and being patient with ourselves. There are many times when we have to spend hours, days or years until we actually learn something. We may have an idea about what it is. We may have no idea about what it is. The crux of this is that it takes time to learn certain things and certain other things we just "get" almost immediately. It has to do with the way that our brains are hardwired. Do not fight against this, rather try to accept it as a reality. Also, please do not be hard on yourself for not "getting" it sooner. The most important thing is that you are on a learning curve. Some stuff will come easy for you and other stuff will not. If you continue to be positive and apply yourself, learn and study a little more every day, things will fall into place for you. Some of the greatest discoveries in history have come from years of trial and error and then "appeared" in a dream or dream-like state. What was really going on was the the brain was processing all of those years of information and trying to make sense of them. When it finally did, it came in a dream!


There is a rhythm to life and to learning. It is wonderful when the "eureka" appears. What is to be gained by going back and feeling bad that you did not understand it more quickly? I think it is better to stand in the light of your new-found knowledge and be in gratitutude that you were given the time to discover it.

I hope this helps a little..

Thanks!

Janice
