Picture: "2001: A Space Odyssey" by Stanley Kubrick.
Experience teaches nothing. If we accept that each situation is unique and unrepeatable circumstances depend on infinitely many variables, not the same, and that you-the creator, you are constantly changing, so the experience is not just a collection of old photographs that are displayed, with about pride, who wants to impress or bore. But experience, once I read and subscribe "is like a lottery ticket bought after the draw. Does not work. Sorry.
Adults have been interested throughout history to maintain power, believing that the experience itself, he added merit and wisdom, strengthen that belief. An idea based on the linear conception of time, and that this also produces an evolutionary effect on any human being, whatever you do. And based on this absurd belief have been able to build another oppressive and very effective: "The older you get more respect you deserve." As if the age of a human being was more important than the fact of being human. Programmed with such beliefs, it is difficult for anyone to become aware of their own stupidity over the years. It is difficult for us as a species becoming aware of our own stupidity. But it is imperative that we do if we are not extinct. Jordi Sabater Pi ethologist said in an interview that one of the qualities that are said to distinguish man from other animals is the logical reasoning, and yet, he added, very few people seem to possess this quality. And that despite all the "experience" gained so far.
is in the transfer of knowledge between parents and children where these beliefs are filtered from generation to generation, and which are imposed for the first time as something indisputable. Parents fearful, for example, advise their children based on their negative experiences. Ie tips masquerade as a warning, a threat of catastrophe. The reasoning, if you can call it that, is this: "As I was already down that road and I know its dangers, or repeatedly tried the same thing you and always failed, or had the same ideas and then changed my point of view ... I just want to save time, or pain, or disappointment. " But with that, unconsciously, only that the child does not try to exceed them, they are not faced with their prejudices, their mental limits, their renditions, taken either as impossibilities. Spend so much energy to convince the other on specific hazards or problems, usually indicates a fear that these problems and dangers are illusory. "If I have to believe in them will act accordingly, and verify that attitude that existed. If I defend you will confirm that the threat is real."
fearful parents assume that all evolved the same, ie: like them, and that its evolution has already been stopped, reaching its climax, full of clarity. They have built for themselves an idea of \u200b\u200bthe world trying to impose and perpetuate, not to take his fear and sadness. If your child's life was a sign that your beliefs may be wrong, they should consider his life again, you should get off his pedestal, give up its imposed hierarchy, and learning to unlearn, and also learn from their children. But fear is often assumed not turn into arrogance. There is much at stake. And yet that is at stake was precisely what they needed to lose. Consciously say they want the best for their children. Subconsciously they know best for their children would be painful for them. The unconscious always wins. So he defends.
But I think if we want humanity to evolve in a peaceful way we must learn to illuminate your shadow and, meantime, be humble and to differentiate clearly decided to believe and know. He is generous to report a dangerous course we love to avoid suffering, but can be very harmful, I do not think that he is innocent, and it is useless. And I mean, you know, to keep the baby put your finger in the socket. Sometimes, when you pass a negative experience, one passes in her own prejudices, and not wanting the other program, precisely the beliefs that caused such suffering on oneself. The daughters of mothers who have been telling all life that went wrong during childbirth, often have pain during childbirth as well. With menstrual cramps is the same. The unconscious of the child takes as universal truth expereiencia mother. This is how the premonitions that self-fulfilling: If you go to a psychic, very trusting of him, and says you have an accident ... is likely to have that accident. The unconscious tends to meet the premonitions you trust. And the blind can be hung over the medal and say: I told you! Do not take advantage of the confidence of your children. You have immense power, and how you use depends on the future of humanity. No exaggeration. Do not abuse. Fuel up always believing that they know they will do what they want done. If you feel you failed at it, confident that you will not find what you discovered, it will be more intelligent and creative you where you stumbled, and let them free to evolve as they wish, to be wrong or not in their own way, to improve yourself, or get open, or out, or close. And learn.
No matter what has happened to you or the times I have happened. If you've tried a thousand times a thousand times and apparently had the same negative result, try thousand one if you still want, invent new ways to try endless. Cognitive psychologists speak of the gambler's fallacy. Is the belief that if you toss a coin and runs for several consecutive heads, then there are more chances of tails. And the truth is that every time you throw the coin is exactly the equally likely. Would be equally absurd to think that, apparently seen, why throw the coin comes up heads again if ever?. And yet we often "think" experience. And always is the first time. You do not know what will never happen if you try again. And of course do not know what will happen if someone else who tries.
addition, if the experience was an extra intelligence that would not happen, in my opinion, most commonly happens, that due to a lack of self-awareness, a growing fear more to confront their own ghosts, human beings are enclosing, become more suspicious, less creative, more half-hearted when learning new things, more arrogant. Ie: instead of becoming wiser with age become more morons. Instead of retrieving the innate wisdom to educate crush us, they go more and more of it, looking over his shoulder and continued the slaughter with their children. The experience does not work. No. Although this value so high that today is immaterial market prompts many people to collect experiences that look as strong and rich potential. These compulsive collectors, assuming the prevailing values, display them as gallons, and wait for the promised recognition and respect in return. But all the admiration does not mitigate the world's deepest and oldest fear. At the bottom you know it's still a lonely child, with empty hands, and has not gone anywhere.
accumulation only cover the gap, but not full. The void is latent, below, in the form of a distant anxiety that begs to be covered and away again and again, more and more. Unbeknownst to use the "experience" as a flight of what they forgot: Unity, totality. All beings and experiences as possible that any human being can have, have had or will have, are already in yourself and make us even before birth. We bring the history and its future in us. We are in the soul which contains and reflects the different and wonderful ways in our hearts, apparently individual. In this understanding, in that "experience" timeless, no story, no stories, and wisdom first is available to any being, whatever your journey in this world. A child has no experience, yet is closer to the "experience" unit, it comes. We all come from it. Wisdom is not accumulating, but remember to unlearn. Hence the wisdom in that sense, is contrary to what we call experience.
Of course, the experience can be helpful. But in itself, but depends on the way you use it. I like to convert some's catering, and all the unpleasant initiation into stories that enlighten me. So the experiences are used by me to learn, but do not give me that learning. Another person with similar experience, could have decided not to learn anything or not knowing how to learn something from it, or have created a bias directly. What good experience then? What do you know that works. And that is an art which, paradoxically, can be refined over time, or it can atrophy, or may not even discovered or considered, irrespective of age or the amount of experience you have created. Gurdjieff said that not all people have souls, that the soul was something that very few were able to create. The experience can be overwhelming, and you do not know how to create a soul with it.
Narrating a personal experience can be revealing to others as well. When I read the tarot, for example, often have some if you feel useful for "the other" at that time. But I am aware that my experience is not what serves the other person. What works, if anything, is the way to accomplish this person integrate my experience into theirs. Own experience is that listening to a story: It is completely others, yet is quite close at times, whether that is the mystery of the resonance. "I" attempt to tell only when I feel that the metaphor I see in this experience can be healing for those who listen. And if you tell something that can be considered a "failure" personal, tell it to also have the profound enlightenment I got from this, the "victory" in that it became. But I can only trust my instinct, and hope that somehow the person able to recognize this metaphor in his experience, and be able to find through it a liberating path that seemed so far not found.
The experience is inevitable, but guarantees nothing. Better do something with her to believe she will do something with you. Emanates from you. It is not something that happens. It's something you create to live. And so are you. Look at it as one looks at a mirror, and then serve something. always remember the verses of Lao Tzu: "Without leaving home you can see the world / just looking out the window / you can make sense of the universe / The more one travels the less you know." In summary: An old man can still be a spoiled child and cruel. A child may be a wise man. Let us, as we did with race and sex, to discriminate by age. How can you call democracy schemes in not allow a child to give his opinion? This world is not just for adults.
