What would happen if one day a person woke up and his or her mind was gone? What if he or she didn't know where they were, whether they were married or not, what their car looked like, whether or not they owned a home and what kind of job they enjoyed? What if suddenly all the faculties that were relied upon for years vanished and the slate was washed clean? Relearning would have to be employed. Memory would have to be reestablished, and localities and relationships would have to start all over again. In other words, there would be a renewing of the mind.
Mind renewal, now that's a new one or is it? Could a person begin thinking one way and then be convinced to think another? What if the old way was better once the new way was employed? How would one know if the old thinking was replaced? Can a person really ever be made new in thoughts, ways, relationships and actions?
One of the capacities that seems to get better with age is the “forgetter” which basically means that it is much easier to forget things as one grows older. Maybe when the “forgetter” gets better it is a good time to renew the mind that could be forgotten that there was a mind to ever need forgetting in the first place. Whatever in the world is this writer talking about? Who knows, the “forgetter” is working overtime again. Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
Why is the old adage ring a bell for almost anyone who has lived on the face of this earth I was thinking about "Teaching a child in the way he/she must go"..is it because when we become old and our mental faculties are shriveling up, that the mind can only remember what it was taught when it was a little child..is that why it is important to learn the language of our spirit/soul than to learn the language of this world??? Just thinking!!!
