Learning

Learning is something that is very important to me. I love to learn. Learning is nothing more than observation and remembering what you already know to be true. A keen observer will be a good learner. This includes both, the observation of the internal as well as the external world. Observing one's own thoughts and emotions is an equally powerful way of learning as is observing the external environment around us. For what we see as the external world is merely what our brain processes from the information that it gathers and projects that image in front of us. What we as human beings process is really only a very small fraction of information and spend our whole lives within an extremely narrow range of perception. But the issue is that most people are not even aware of this and imagine that what they see is all there is when nothing could be farther from the truth. What we see is an extremely small fraction of reality. As an example, human vision is capable of observing only a very small range of color from violet to red. Beyond these limits, our sight cannot go. Same with sound, smell, taste and touch. But inspite of all this we believe that what our senses show us to be all of reality which is really absurd.
