Deep Thinking Is Crucial to Unlocking Your Higher Self

Questioning your existence is perhaps one of the most powerful experiences you will have in your life.

About five years ago, I suffered from shallow thinking. This meant I was always thinking about myself. The constant thought of thinking about myself caused immense suffering. An obsession with one’s self can be torture.

A subtle change occurred when a friend asked me to read three finance books. Until that point, I hadn’t read a book since high school. Reading started to make me think deeper about everything.

I later discovered an old tape on psychology. It introduced me to the idea that my mind could be completely rewired. My thoughts until that point were holding me back, according to the man on the tape. I went further into the Matrix of thought. I started watching documentaries that were out of my typical realm of thinking.

Then, I came across writing. A stranger asked me to write on their blog about a startup of my choice. I completed the task and thought nothing of it. I repeated that task of writing on that stranger’s blog. It led me to become frustrated. I no longer wanted to write about startups anymore. My thinking had shifted yet again.

These activities have the art of thinking attached to them, whether you know that consciously or not. As you practice them, your mind thinks. As you think, you learn. As you learn, your mind shifts ever so slightly.

What do all of these activities have in common? Creativity. Creativity is the art of using your mind to link abstract ideas and create something…
