reflection: a gateway to insight & wisdom, by michael mamas

REFLECTION A Gateway To Insight & Wisdom

Thinking gets us only so far.  We must learn to reflect.

Reflection is a relaxed state, as if we have all the time in the world.

To reflect, sit back and relax.  Staring out over a nice view is helpful.

Reflection does not need to figure anything out.  It just sits with a subject and

allows thoughts to come and go like rolling clouds.

Insight comes through reflection.

Sitting under the cool shade of a tree on a warm summer day is a great way to begin reflecting.

Watching the summer clouds for images in the sky

is a great way to reflect.

Sitting in front of the fireplace on a cold winter’s night is a great way to reflect.

Comfort with silence is essential to reflection.  Casual conversation with long periods of silence

is a lovely way to reflect.

Some of our deepest thoughts and insights

come to us through reflection.

Taking time to reflect heals the soul.

Reflection can be like balm on a wound.

Reflection is a gateway to wisdom.

Great teachers reflect with the group.

The Art of Reflection is the Art of Wisdom.  Let thoughts go.

Allow them to settle and rest deep within your soul.  Then just see what reflects back, into your mind.
