“When we type a mathematical problem into our computer, we don’t try to figure out the calculations ourselves….becoming so absorbed in doing the calculations by hand according to all our rules…we fail to see the answer blinking on our monitor.”
Tamura continued: “When we ask a question such as ‘why can’t I do that’ we may receive immediate replies such as ‘because you’re stupid’ or ‘you’ll never be able to do it.’
“These are thoughts your mind collected from someone else. If you ask a question intellectually in this manner, instead of intuitively, your mind will rummage through all your memory drawers to provide intellectual answers.”
“Don’t empower all the mind chatter that you may notice at first. Be still with the question. Let it go to work for you.”
“Let the answer emerge into your consciousness.”
It appears our consciousness would do everything for us; we just have to be silent! We better not rush to fix things. We better not even try to fix ourselves.
