Let's hear it for liberating our minds

We cancelled our cable TV account six months ago.  Suddenly the cable service has reappeared free of charge. 

I wondered about this.  At first I thought that the cable carrier owns a lot of TV channels. Perhaps the cable carrier and its TV media outlets are worried about becoming irrelevant.

Then, today I thought that there cable companies stand to make more money from advertisers when more people look at cable channels and mainstream media instead the internet or Twitter.

We are in a time when so much of what is happening makes little sense when we look at situations superficially, which is all the mainstream news gives us.  People are getting direct information using Twitter, which keeps us more deeply informed and ahead of the news reports.

This way of staying informed continues to develop our minds / discernment / understanding.

Some people seem to think that we need to go beyond the mind - which is true to some extent.  We need linear brain functions for business and science.  But this approach to thinking is heavily over-estimated.  

The Ancient Greeks were right to emphasize logic. But it seems inadequate for tackling the challenges we face today.  Why would we continue to limit our mental functioning to what happens on one side of the brain when so much is at stake?

People in business are now recognizing the importance of insight which requires more than linear thinking.  Insight is powerful simply because it uses more of the brain than traditional logic.

We are realizing just how incompetent we are at tackling everyday challenges when we restrict ourselves to logic.  We are like teenagers becoming aware of our own incompetence for the first time.

We get a lot of symbolic information from dreams. The information is holistic and never literal - which allows us to develop ideas on our own.  So no-one is giving us instructions in dreams - which happens with channeling, or with government policies, for example.

The nature of my dreams changes as my ideas are changing.  Our ideas become more fully integrated and realistic as we mature. 

So let's hear it for liberating our minds.
