In a Previous Post….

Yeah, once again I am referring to a previous post,  but that is because I believe that it is important, so here goes.

I wrote about people not thinking, not spending time alone with their thoughts, and being uncomfortable with their own companionship.

So this post is about considering the law of thinking and how people don’t really do that much thinking. They always have stuff on their minds but it’s mostly ‘busy’ with things that do not actually constitute thinking. I have noticed that people tend to have ‘background’ noise going on all the time that interferes with actual thinking but they do not realize it and many would argue that it helps them but it doesn’t. If you look back through the annals of time you will see that most of the great thinkers lived in a time when music was not ubiquitous. Today we are surrounded by not only music but also television even in stores, doctor’s offices, restaurants. We even have music in elevators and on our cell phones and if we don’t want music there is always talk radio and audio books. We carry MP3 players so we don’t have to go anywhere without having something to occupy our minds and that impedes thought.

Every great invention, every great idea, every great everything began with thought so I would say it is critical to a  persons life to spend a bit of time thinking and that thinking should be done where it is quiet so that you can hear your subconscious guiding you to the thoughts that will serve you best. So ask yourself, how much time do I spend on an average day just thinking?
