From the mind of critic: “If mechanics are good at diagnosing and fixing car problems, is it because they studied long and hard in hopes of one day becoming successful? Are mechanics born without this knowledge, and so have to consciously think, seek out and apply it, and after much practice are able to see how much it improves the overall health and longevity of the car? Or are mechanics special human beings amongst a small group, which have been tasked with not only fixing their own car, but friends, family, and aquaintances as well, because they realize after much heartache and strife, that the vast majority of the human species either doesn’t know or doesn’t care how to work on their own car, always expecting somebody else to do the work or pick up the slack? It always is, always has been and always will be true that we know ourselves better than anybody else. However, we can always become more knowldgeable if we want to. If we want to know how we tick, what we like, what we don’t like, where we’d like to go or why we feel sad, unproductive and like we’re not worthy, we must do the inner work to find out. If something is wrong with us physically, we go to a doctor, something wrong mentally, we go to a shrink. Once we realize that we analyze ourselves before we seek outside help, we’ll see that the better we know ourselves, the more we can fix our own issues. The more we can fix our own issues, the more we can fix our own issues, ourselves, and the less we ask for help. That’s not to say we’ll never need help, a facet of true knoweldge is not being so proud as to not ask for help when we need it. We must remember we aren’t born with knowledge, it’s gained through experience. To gain that experience, we have to allow it to happen. To live a more fulfilling life, we have to consciously act. Mechanics are good at fixing cars, because they consciously try to fix cars. The more conscious we are, the more joyful we are, it’s that simple” 🙂
