An algorithm for obtaining knowledge in the form of a mnemonic "half-stick":
-I will express my will
-I will hear
--- I'll memorize it
---- I'll practice it
----- I'll discuss it
------ I'm thinking about it
------- I will teach
- - - - - - - -...then IT WILL REACH
"I will" - passes unnoticed, most often above the level of reason, that's why it's so difficult to "make a will": after all, we can't even clearly explain what "Will" and "will" mean, and we confuse will with desire as well as falling in love with love.
"I will hear"(i.e. there is a source of knowledge) - if you are observant, you notice: in response to your "wishlist request", an answer comes from the Universe, the form is any: a random phrase of a stranger, a randomly found article on the Internet, the only "hooked" phrase from the movie...Even if you were looking for something meaningfully and purposefully, how exactly was the choice made out of many?
"I'll memorize" - having received the desired knowledge, we memorize it...and we often stop at this without doing it in practice (this is my favorite technique of Smiling
"I will practice" - all abstract knowledge, no matter how simple and understandable they may seem, you must definitely try it in practice. In yoga, it is believed that all problems are solved by a "triple medicine": Will, Knowledge, Action. If there is no any component , you will not solve the life task. Our experience = knowledge + practice.
"I will discuss" - we add the knowledge and experience of others, like-minded people to our knowledge and experience. This is the easiest way to see the problem/task from different sides and aspects.
"I will reflect" - well, reflection, i.e. assessment-re-evaluation of my own experience - we all know. In serious schools of psychology and self-knowledge, it is recommended to do this every day, for example, to review mentally before going to bed, to re-evaluate all the events of the past day.
"I will teach" - even after completing all the previous points, in most cases I will NOT get an awareness of what happened, i.e. the experience will not become a part of me. Trying to teach something to others (children, young employees, etc., i.e. playing the role of a Mentor) - we see our experience from another side, understand its flaws and correct them both in our students and in ourselves!
