What is deep thinking and how can I do it?
Why can’t I come up with any ideas about it?
Is it because I rarely do any deep thinking? There must be a way for me to open some inner door that will reveal to me some insights about it?
I must had some exposure to the idea of deep thinking. I must have heard something about deep thinking in the past.
Is it really that foreign or unknown to me?
It must be an intellectual thing.
Does it go beyond my long held beliefs?
Do I have to somehow acknowledge my thoughts about certain things, any thing, and then, change those thoughts?
I must have done some relatively deep thinking at least at some point in my life.
So what could I have thought deeply about?
What could I have thought about “deep thinking.” That it was the domain of inventors? I just read that. Must I depend on someone else to tell me what it is? Don’t I have any intuitive idea as to what it is?
Am I getting any closer? Will I be writing a book on deep thinking someday?
Have I already written a book about deep thinking and not realized what it was? Could I figure out what it is and then teach other people how to do it?
I imagine someone has already created a course, or written a book or come up the ideas to empower other people to think deeply.
What if I created a course on deep thinking and it accelerated the global exponential growth of understanding and invention?
What if someone has already created such a book or it is being written. So, all I would have to do is look up “deep thinking” on the internet and I will be enlightened with someone else’s concept of deep thinking, and I could become their student. Or maybe, I would benefit from reading their material, even though it would throw me off, or get me off of thinking for myself.
Is deep thinking something that can be taught? You can show a person how to ride a bicycle, you can’t ride it for them. They have to find their own balance. So maybe they have to find their own way of thinking deeply. Because it is an individual thing, isn’t it. And perhaps there are some simple guidelines, hints to empower people to be better deep thinkers. I’m almost to the point where I will have to start looking. And I’m afraid that my exploration won’t take me very far, or I will find a book I can’t buy, or encounter a course I can’t afford, or read some document that is incredibly boring or too intellectual to be useful to me.
But I suppose before I venture out into the digital universe, I need to accept that there is probable more than one way to approach the subject of deep thinking, and some of those explanations may be more or less approachable, and some of those expositions may not be agreeable to me. They might turn me off completely, and leave me convinced that I am not a deep thinker and I never will be for whatever reason. And I will become too discouraged and confused to ascertain what stopped me in my search to learn more about deep thinking, and how to do it better. I am convinced that the ability to think deeply is my ticket to prosperity, that puts a lot of pressure on me already. What a dilemma.
Now I ‘m noticing that my computer is slowing way down, and I hope that some malicious software hasn’t found it’s way onto it. I feel a little anxiety every time I download something. Or maybe I am thinking faster than my computer can process.
I realize that my mind has wandered from the pursuit of a workable definition of deep thinking. And I will get back to it any minute now.
