Sloww Stage 3 (Mental Mastery): How do I build a better mind?

Overview of Stage 3

Stage 3 Inquiring Question:

  • “How do I build a better mind?” More knowing thyself psychologically (Stage 2) leads deeper into all things mind and mentality (Stage 3). Along with the meaning crisis, humans (individually) and humanity (collectively) also seem to be in the midst of a sensemaking crisis in the information era—our knowledge and wisdom isn’t keeping pace with our technological advancement.

Stage 3 Learning Focus:

Stage 3 Developing Self:

  • Self-Questioning: Who am I? ‘I’ am not sure, but ‘I’ am sure that ‘I’ am not who ‘I’ thought ‘I’ was ‘my’ entire life up to this point. If ‘I’ did not choose/create ‘my’ mind, how can ‘I’ even call it ‘my’ mind? ‘I’ thought ‘I’ previously questioned everything, but ‘I’ never questioned ‘my’ questioning (‘my’ own mind)!

  1. I fully agree with everything you have mentioned in your website. They are very powerful words of wisdom and I am grateful for you for giving all of us a chance to journey through this spiritual path. I have embarked on these 3 stages: slowing down and making my life simpler; I have found short-term and long-term purposes (callings) in my life; and am meditating and reading spiritual books related to mindful meditation. I practice and pursue all the above actions everyday.
    Your website is full of wisdom and when I read them it inspires me to keep going. Thank you so much. With gratitude – Raj
