The Idea Emporium
Here: the power of the mental block. Call it what you like: mental blocks, inner wall, inner block, inner blocks, emotional barriers,
psychological barriers, psychological blocks, mental barriers, inner walls, emotional barrier, mental wall, mental walls,
mental blindness linked with social barriers. The question: how to get through the mental block, enable more emotional intelligence?

Elsa looking with ideas cooking

 

"It is a fact readily acknowledged,
that for humans, an idea is much more
powerful than a fact."


Other terms for a rigid idea include:
mental block, inner wall, mental wall, mental blindness.
Questions:
How to make people aware of their own mental blocks?
How to dismantle emotional and psychological barriers?

Walls in the Mind -
They Cripple and They Bind,
Keep Us All Confined

Walls in the mind
They cripple and they bind
Keep you deaf
Keep me blind
Keep us both confined

Those words came into my head, loud and clear, after a particularly frustrating attempt to reach someone. Walls in the mind - such powerful forces against seeing, hearing, registering what is going on.

My partner is impressed by Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, on the imminent danger of global warming. He wants everyone to watch it. I am glad Al Gore's film was able to reach him. I also ask: why did other sources not reach him? More generally, why have so many people not taken in the information and reacted to it?

Al Gore was able to understand, over two decades ago, the information coming at him. But many did not, could not or would not hear, see, connect the dots. Walls in the mind. Why didn't others see? And how can one reach thse others?

mental blocks

   

We're born with the capacity to think.
What we learn to do with it,
is what matters.


Do we learn thinking is a pleasure
or a chore?
So we look at the idea or
roll our eyes at the approach of an idea?
Do we turn off - or on.
Is it stimulation, a challenge, a delight?

Daryl, USA, July 24, 2009:

Great points. I have found people put great walls around their religious beliefs. Their religion is kind of like their nose - you just can't say to someone: "my what a big nose you have!" ...

The Idea Emporium on Mental Blocks

One of my lifelong concerns has been trying to make sense of reality. What is happening? Why is this happening? And with that I come to ideas - ideas about reality, ideas that need to be checked against reality, not just believed in like the tooth fairy is accepted by a child. But how does one check them?

Another huge question: why do so many people, far from checking evidence, refuse to even consider it.
It took me a long time to recognize the power of a mental block, an inner wall.
What is a mental block? How much comes from an emotional barrier - like fear or shame?
I've thoughts a lot about these inner blocks, inner walls.

Walls in the Mind.
They Cripple and They Bind,
Keep Us All Confined.

thinking outside confines.
