Why not learn to read with the brain and heart?
Today more than ever we have been invaded by all sorts of information that we want to achieve at any cost and by any possible way, but twenty years ago we were promised that the 'use of mass computer would save forests greatly reducing the abuse of paper, but it was not so.
Each of us get tons of mail, bills, gas, telephone, seven, eight pages each, all supermarkets zonal send us papers full of offers, where a table two centimeters square is written an entire story, and then the banks with long and enigmatic statements, and letters of all kinds, points at will in our mailboxes.
not neglect then wheeled out of the dear, old letter, which has now become "mail" e-mail (who does not read the daily and several times a day?) where ends in all sorts of news, someone writes to you to sell on-line clothing, shoes , beauty creams, viagra, travel, business cards, there are the smart ones that ask you codes credit card, psychologists caring that you send suggestions for better living.
sometimes or more often also includes magazines and newspapers or read them at the bar. And there is someone who buys a few books.
overwhelmed by this massive information we really read? O often throw an eye here and there trying to figure out the fly what we think we have to understand?
modern educators and psychologists say that to learn to read is a skill required in advance: the love of reading that seems is written in the chromosomes. That's why only some people read books like to eat bread, opened a letter and throwing barely an eye already know what's written. And do not make mistakes, do not misunderstand ever.
But letters, bills and newspapers arrive, alas, who does not like reading and they also must understand the content of what they read without taking fireflies for lanterns.
Until recently it was easier to read for everyone because the correspondence was not, was even slower and formatted more clearly understand what we read today is not easy just for the quantity and the complexity of information.
We can not read it all. The criteria to choose the documents to read and which to discard are quite obvious, we are not allowed to ignore invoices, registered mail, contracts, we must read them and read them carefully. Do not just read a line here and there trying to understand.
Everything else we can freely decide whether to read it or delete it.
To make sure you have not missed parts of the document which we are about to read, to understand the content and not do bad figures is good to follow some rules.
All we have to or want to read leggiamolo carefully, carefully. read a paragraph and pause to reflect on its content before proceeding, maybe re-read again, not because we are insane, but to make sure you understand All the gist. (practical example of the spiritual concept "be here now" or "being in the present")
As we read we avoid expressing, even elusive, even for a moment, our personal opinion. (distract us from 'being here and now ") finished reading the whole document we try to make a synthesis of all, a kind of summary than we understood even excluding the personal evaluation and possibly going back to check that there is clear. (this is now greater understanding of yogic in which the concepts are shown an overview of the most clear and complete)
Adopting these simple rules will become good at extrapolating the lines our so-called "profiles" from operators of utilities, to assess the consumption bills, figure out how to wash the last link is bought, the ingredients and calories of cookies for breakfast, which is intended to convey the post of 'friend on Facebook, or article that we read in the newspaper.
Each wrote that passes between the hands, book, journal, receipt of payment is word ( in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God ) and speech, even when writing is an 'energy, the energy of thinking that created with the intention of reaching a creation (cash out, disseminate information and ideas, declaring events, real or fantastic storytelling , personal pleasure).
Only ruling out any error of interpretation (the whistles are not bottles) and any emotional and personal attitudes (sympathy, antipathy) and the moral judgments we can awaken in us empathy is the ability to understand and accept unconditionally the words and moods just like we come from our partner .
L 'empathy is the only condition which aligns the understanding of the mind to that of the heart and helps us to understand the meaning of all information.
