- Instantly absorbing large amounts of information.
- Retaining this information permanently in memory.
- Instantly retrieving and using this information whenever needed.
Can you guess who has all the above three abilities? If you can download any information into the longterm memory bank available in your subconscious mind by simply reading it once, would you still need to study long hours? If you can retain this information in your memory bank permanently would you still need to keep revising whatever you learn and keep practicing with it repeatedly? If you can retrieve all the information from your longterm memory bank instantly whenever needed would you still need to spend sleepless nights just before your exams?
The answer to the first question above is Google. But what is seemingly unbelievable but true is that every human mind is also capable of all these three abilities just like Google. Our mind is capable of these abilities when it is rested. The more appropriate and useful question therefore needs to be:
How to quieten our restless mind and allow it to rest?
We don’t even know how to recognise it when our mind gets tired. Because mental tiredness shows up differently than physical tiredness and resting the physical body does not rest the mind. More importantly, our mind is actually restless and exhausted all the time. Do you know why?
Because it is constantly engaged in activity such as planning, working, calculating, computing, watching something (videos) listening to something (such as podcasts), reading, studying, focusing, concentrating, paying attention, etc. When we take a break from the above activity we still continue with other kinds of mental activities.
These include the monologues in our mind with ourselves, the dialogues we carry out mentally with an imaginary person, the voices of others in our mind telling us what not to do, memories of past events, worries about the future, fantasising, imagining, dreaming, etc. We are habituated to this and so it seems to be happening effortlessly and automatically, although we are doing it. We don’t know how to stop it.
Learning will not help us answer this. A process of unlearning is needed. This process of unlearning is a journey. A gentle, slow journey into the deepest aspects of one’s aware mind.
