Continuous learning

Learn.

Unlearn.

Learn 
continuously, 
eagerly, 
even enthusiastically, 
about 
the mechanical and 
technological aspects of 
your inner and 
outer worlds.

Unlearn 
the emotional and 
egoistic 
aspects of life.

Why unlearn these aspects?

Storing them, 
regurgitating them, 
building illusory layers,
drain brain energy and 
physiological energy 
(with stress hormones, e.g.),
causing suffering.

Just as one 
cleans, 
maintains, 
repairs, or even 
discards 
physical tools, 
one keeps 
one's inner tools -
mind, ego, and intellect -
free of impurities, 
complexities, and 
grossness 
for optimal learning 
through the
rapidity,
expansiveness, and
subtlety 
of response to
events.

Love is 
a lubricant, 
a microscope, 
a telescope, 
a fuel.

Individual love is 
stored, 
limited, 
exhaustible, 
rationed.

Divine love flows
inexhaustibly and 
incessantly,
but it can be blocked
just by individual 
mental, 
egoistic, 
intellectual 
closing.

Enough individuals 
closing their hearts, 
divine love cannot flow
through and
around them.

Enough reopening, 
divine love flows again.

Life is 
a moment by moment 
flowing.

The mind, the ego, the intellect - 
the instruments or 
modes 
of consciousness - 
sample,
block, 
dam, 
redirect, and 
make turbulent 
the flow of life.

That happens 
when instruments become 
more important 
than consciousness or 
life.

Hone 
all instruments and 
learn - 
for the joy and
love 
of learning. 

A little 
unstressed 
learning 
every day
in one life 
adds up 
tremendously.

Imagine 
continuous 
unending 
learning 
in all fields
across 
an infinity of lives.

Now imagine 
how much time and 
energy is being 
wasted!
