Ability to contemplate deeply > Having random inights.

Enhancing your proficiency in contemplation can significantly elevate your effectiveness and success across various endeavors.

Developing the skill to engage in deep contemplation is undeniably among the most crucial abilities to cultivate.

Allow me to delve further into this concept.

Visualize dedicating two hours daily to sit down with a screen or writing utensils, earnestly contemplating a thought-provoking question.

Through this practice, you generate real-world instances that grant you direct experience with the subject under scrutiny, thereby enhancing your proficiency in generating examples. You foster the capacity to delve deeply into multiple trains of thought without becoming lost, as the written format assists in maintaining a coherent track of all cognitive avenues explored. Furthermore, you build the mental endurance to engage in abstract reasoning, augment your imaginative faculties, and acquire the knack for detaching from your notions to make room for superior alternatives.

Furthermore, this exercise hones your aptitude for thorough research, while simultaneously yielding a wealth of knowledge and insights.

This multifaceted development ultimately equips you to comprehend matters at their foundational essence.

Confronted by challenges in your life, you can now grasp these predicaments at a profound level, recognizing that a comprehensive understanding often charts the swiftest course towards resolution.

In contrast, envision neglecting these exercises in favor of pursuing random insight. This approach might yield a bunch of profound insights, some of which could offer sporadic assistance. However, fundamentally, it robs you of the capability to transform your life circumstances. Even amid relational strife or financial hardship, your focus remains fixated on speculative pursuits that you hope will improve your situation.

Furthermore, directing your attention solely towards cultivating insights and accumulating them can lead to dogmatic tendencies and diminished present-mindedness, as your preoccupation restricts you within your own mental confines (having your head up ypur own ass, in simpler terms). This inclination might give rise to a belief that your understanding is exhaustive.

And certainly, you might stumble upon timeless principles, yet the lack of presence hinders your ability to judiciously apply these principles to the right degree, at the right time, and in a manner that aligns with the context in a nuanced way.

Contemplation creates openness, the space to wonder and to question.

Extremely good work my friend :). Contemplation basically is your training tool which teaches you think step by step. And very good point about not getting stuck thinking only things that are related to your life, but opening your contemplation to as wide as possible.


Who told you that "others" are real?
