There appears to be quite some difficulty in going beyond the personalised consciousness. Thats only natural I guess. Learning is as much a process of deprogramming as much as acquiring or acquainting with something new.Learning something new, must be preceded by a process of deprogramming that eliminates pre-existing paradigms and misconceptions. 🤔
Learning physiologically is a process of conditioning. It involves recruitment of neural networks or pathways, which after sufficient time and repetitions get established.Many of our belief systems and thought processes post conditioning work below the consciousness horizon. Once the template is set, these can become an integral part of an individuals perceptive and thought processes. We scarcely realize that these deeply etched programs serve as major deterrents from learning anything new. That partly explains why adults need a longer while to learn a new skill like computers or a new language whereas kids seem to take to this new skill like a fish takes to water. Could be because the kids hard disc is unformatted and can imbibe a new concept faster and better than an adult who first has to undo some hardwired programs. 😛
Hmmm…these established neural networks would then increase the resistance to accepting fresh thoughts and ideas. Also, the extreme obsession with form precludes any tryst with the formless. Pouring in a cup that's full is non productive. The zen concept of emptying the cup before trying to fill it makes sense.
