AGAIN?? Will you ever stop??
Well well well.
The potential of the human form is, in the same breath, infinite and finite. Our greatest strength, the mind, also displays this dichotomy. With the mind, one can scale amazing heights, one can explore the deepest of thought, and yet, with all its strength, the mind will trap us. We are captive to it, and the boundaries placed on us restain us from the dreams we have.
BUT, the mind is held back, and this is evidenced in certain individuals(generally), but the social stratum that it has been accustomed to. That is why, when one moves from a counrty to another, their horizons enlargen. Their social resraints are lifted, and yet, the strengths that they posessed from the last society move on to the next. This nurturing is paramount to the success of the individual in society, and is by no means a bad thing. Without it, crime, or at least a lack of respect, would be rampant. However, how far should this social boundary extend? This mental 'education' is necessary, but at what point does it become restrictive? If the mind were constrained to a linear expansion, this answer could be easily found. If the mind were linear, you could train it from strength to strength and when it reached enough understanding, release it from social bondage and in theory, it should proceed on what it has learnt. How very bland. Thankfully, and yet more complex, our minds are as unpredictable as the weather(note). Since the true progression of the mind cannot be mapped, it would be impossible to place a time at which the mind should enjoy emancipation. The stage when the mind learn most, at childhood, does truly shape the future use of the mind. Learning post the chilhood era is all coloured by the form and content of what was learned as a young child. Emancipation in this era would be ideal, yet, the structures of logical thought need to be placed to ensure proper development. Faries dont exist.
To free the mind one would need to completely remove one's self from social, linguistic, and contextual restraint.
More to come...
