Education
If you want to change how you perceive yourself and the world, must you unlearn everything you were taught? If so, how can you start this process of becoming more you? Notes The tenets of unlearning stuff that we are taught are: being curious, playing without judgement, and having a beginner’s mind. When we experience “not knowing” it expands and changes our world. Many educational or other institutions and groups stuff us full of rules, facts and values, expecting us to “regurgitate” it without any exploring or questioning. Self-referencing allows us to sift through available wisdom and research that may ultimately help us. Having a community and/or some spiritual practices in place helps us if we experience a dark night of the soul or just plain doubt about our perceived reality of the world and who we are. What role does being fearful of the unknown play in our lives and society? Links Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, Sante Fe Subscribe to invite our conversation into your life every Wednesday.
