Although I believe that it's possible to achieve a state of quiet mind while retaining
ability to communicate effectively, I have not felt it was ever a good time to go through
process. Mostly because of ego, as I never wanted to appear to be less intelligent than I was. What I have done, however, is to set aside time periods where I work to turn off
chattering monkey in order to focus my mental energies more effectively on a specific task. Although not as ideal, it seems to be a good compromise. And over
years, I believe that I am moving towards
ideal.
Each session where I eliminate a fair portion of
chattering monkey, I gain sharper insights into
world around me, and
subject that I focus my attention upon at
time. Over time, this has given me a deeper understanding of many subjects, which in turn has increased my level of intelligence. I recognize which pathways of thought are effective since I have had
opportunity to let my mind travel a greater number of pathways. This results in quicker thinking, even when I'm not working on quieting
chattering monkey.
In many situations, this has proven to be of great use, as I am now able to learn a subject in about half
time it used to take, and I am also able to quickly analyze a situation and find
similarities between this new situation and one I've studied previously. Only in
last couple of months have I started to learn about setting up websites and working with server scripts, cgi's, and MySQL databases. I may not be an expert yet, but that will only take a little more time. Not only can I work with all these things, but I can customize many aspects of
things I'm working with.
There is a quote from Abraham Lincoln that sums up
importance of learning to speed up your thinking. The quote is "If I only had 6 hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend 4 hours sharpening
axe." You're going to spend
rest of your life learning and analyzing situations. Be smart and spend some time sharpening your mind. Set aside specific times where you quiet your chattering monkey. Give your mind
freedom it needs to quickly move from one thought to another. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish.
