Slow Thinking is Deep Thinking
Slow thinking is deep thinking. Deep thinking is clear, accurate and focused. It knows it’s target, it’s purpose. Deep thinking is clear, it is all about specifics. Clear and to the point. Clear in that it is understood and it is understanding. It is clear in what it is saying. To be clear on big points, we must be clear on the little points. To be clear is to know what the point, the problem, that idea, the data, actually is. God wants us to have clear thinking to understand correctly the Truth. “Know the Truth and the truth will set you free”. The thinking mind can know the Truth through reasoned thinking. But a person can only live and unite with the Truth through the will and the heart. Fast thinking is confused thinking. Fast thinking is self serving, egocentric and sociocentric. The thinking mind seeks the Truth. That is it’s purpose, that is it’s end. Truth only comes from God. Fast thinking serves itself, and justifies it’s own truth. Fast thinking believes itself totally without hesitation or reservation, goes with the group think, is relative, is wishful. Fast thinking is dominated by the social image. Fast thinking must think a certain way in the belief that it is acceptable. Slow thinking is deep thinking because it is dealing with the fundamental concepts, ideas, issues and problems of life. It needs to be slow to dig deep. It needs time to deal with complex issues. Fast thinking is narrow-minded, only operates from it’s point of view. It is self cantered and selfish. Slow thinking is wide-minded, as broad as the universe and creation. It is other-centred thinking, thinking of others rather then itself. Fast thinking is very likely illogical thinking. It needs to join things up fast. Any sequence will do. Any meaning, sense or conclusion that seems right or feels right will do. Slow thinking is logical, reasoned and sensible. Slow thinking is discipline for the thinking mind. Fast thinking is wasteful, inefficient and leads to the downfall of man. Our world is filled with the results of fast and weak thinking.
