Thanks to the developed consciousness, a person has reached all current heights. He is capable of solving the most difficult problems, he creates magnificent works of art. But this does not mean that human consciousness has reached the peak of its development. Consciousness can be improved, but the paths of this process can be different.
What is consciousness? It is usually defined as the ability to assess the features of the surrounding world and understand their place in it, the ability to make decisions based on the information received. There is still no unified, well-established interpretation of consciousness, so there are several formulations. However, in general they are similar and talk about the same thing.
Features of human consciousness
One of the most important features of human consciousness is the use of speech in thinking. The habit of thinking in words is so deeply rooted that many people no longer remember that once in childhood they thought quite differently - in images. Imaginative thinking is much more accurate and quick, since in this case the whole situation is analyzed as a whole, as a single, indivisible block.
For most people, the ability to think in images is preserved, but is used only as an addition to thinking in words. Nevertheless, it is precisely the return to figurative thinking that is one of the key directions of improving consciousness. If you try to think in images, deliberately ignoring words, you will see that this type of thinking is very convenient. It takes you a split second to assess the situation. A moment - and you already know what and how you need to do. You deliberately exclude the translation of understanding the situation into words, which saves a lot of time.
Stopping internal dialogue
Even without using words in the process of thinking, you still continue to think in images. Is it possible to stop the thinking process altogether? Yes, but a logical question arises as to why this is needed. Will it not turn out that a person, having stopped thinking, becomes a stupid limited being?
In fact, stopping the internal dialogue is the next step towards development. By disabling the habitual way of thinking, a person gains access to amazing possibilities. Instead of thinking and finding the desired result by enumerating options, it becomes possible to immediately receive absolutely accurate information. Thanks to stopping thinking, a person acquires a connection with the universal information bank, which contains answers to any questions.
The famous Nikola Tesla possessed a similar ability. If ordinary engineers had to find the right solutions through trial and error, then Tesla immediately saw the right option. He constructed his attitudes in his mind, using the knowledge coming to him, and could see how they would work. Therefore, I immediately began to develop a working model, bypassing the stage of long experiments.
Illumination, genius, talent - all these concepts are directly related to connecting to the higher spheres of being, to the energy-informational field. It is not for nothing that many teachings speak of the need to expand consciousness, to acquire new opportunities for it. But for this, it must reach a new level, abandoning traditional thinking.
It is very difficult to stop internal dialogue. Not only ordinary thoughts should disappear, but also images, it takes years of hard work to achieve the result. Various meditation practices become the basis of the work. At the moment of stopping thinking, an amazing silence reigns in the mind - the ability to think does not disappear, but not thinking is simply more pleasant. In addition, as mentioned above, stopping the internal dialogue opens up access to the most amazing possibilities - in particular, to gain direct knowledge. It is this path, most likely, that should be considered the most optimal option for improving consciousness.
