Thinking (2)

“Thoughts”


Man and woman know they can think and also believe their children will begin thinking as they grow up. Man and woman think and know what they think, but do not know how they do thinking. They take thinking thoughts for granted.

Knowledge informs thinking is done due to experiences in memory. Knowledge acknowledges that thinking is not taught to children by their parents. Knowledge makes parents wait for thinking to happen to their children.

What is wisdom of thinking is the question?

Wisdom reveals that thinking was not taught to the first man by anyone. Wisdom reveals that evolution of movement of sound as letters and words was expressed as thinking in the first man.

Wisdom reveals that thinking, due to evolution, is crude in humans, meaning that the child thinks letter ‘A’ instead of letter ‘B’ when asked to think of the first letter in the alphabet. This signifies that the movement of sound as letters is in a crude state.

As the child grows, due to evolution, thinking of letters evolves from crude to a refined state in humans, meaning that the child correctly thinks letters in the alphabet in the correct order. This signifies that the movement of sound as letters has evolved to a refined state, which deceives the adult that thinking is done by children. 

Wisdom reveals that every moment in life is precise and that the moment is neither late nor early. Wisdom reveals that the movement of sound as letter within the moment, due to evolution, is precise and it is neither late nor early.

Wisdom reveals that the advice to think from parent to child and the evolution of movements of sound as words in a child are precise as well. Wisdom reveals that, when thinking evolves to a refined state, it deceives the parent that the child is thinking.

Wisdom reveals that thinking is precise movements of sound as letters and words in evolution. Wisdom reveals that thinking is precise movements of words, albeit illusory.

Wisdom reveals that movement of sound as letters and words, which is thinking, is included in the singular movement of life. The enlightened have rightly proclaimed that thinking, though present, is illusory in life.

Knowledge takes thinking for granted. Wisdom is grateful to life for its gift of thinking to man.

The enlightened accept everyone as they are whether they think or do not think.

Editor’s Note:
A 4-year old at his school made a rather surprising statement to his teacher. He said that petrol polluted the atmosphere. She asked him how he knew that. The child said ‘I just thought it’. For the teacher and also for the child, indeed for every human being who thinks, thinking evolves naturally; it just happens.  The understanding of the wise that is gifted in this article reveals the illusory nature of thinking – it is illusory, though it is present, as it was for the child, for whom it was also untaught. Gratitude for the gifts of life is freedom.
