Free thinker or subject of mind control?
How do you think?
Are you really in charge of your thoughts? Or is someone else choosing them for you? Your mind-pictures are formed in two ways:
1) FREE thoughts that are truly original and come from your purest and most creative centre.
2) CONTROL thoughts, which are forced upon you by exterior stimuli.
Control thoughts
- A school book, television, radio, a movie, a TV commercial.
- Politics and religion.
- Military and business disciplines.
- Parents, older siblings, a teacher, your peer group members or work mates.
These CONTROL thoughts encourage, or force you to assimilate data and opinions that have been created by someone else. When you were a very young child, first developing your thinking faculty, you were often very creative in the truest sense. You made shapes with Playdoh, intently scribbled strange forms and spirals, or just played in a sand pit. Later on, in order to be considered ‘educated’, you had to assimilate second hand data and then regurgitate this in exams.
Maria and the mind of a child
Maria Montessori pioneered one of the exceptions to this regimented mind training. Born in Italy in 1870, she was the first woman in her country to receive a medical degree. Her special fields of activity were psychiatry, education and anthropology. Rather than considering a child’s mind to be a ‘blank slate,’ ready for writing on by someone else, Maria believed that every child is born with a unique potential and that it’s up to teachers and parents alike to help this originality to develop.
