According to The National Academies Press: Children are born with certain biological capacities for learning. They can recognize human sounds; can distinguish animate from inanimate objects; and have an inherent sense of space, motion, number, and causality. These raw capacities of the human infant are actualized by the environment surrounding a newborn. The environment supplies information, and equally important, provides structure to the information, as when parents draw an infant’s attention to the sounds of her or his native language.
As children grow and their learning increases, it is believed that they transfer what they have learned to new situations. They begin to also make conclusions about outcomes. From simple things, like: if I turn on the faucet in the bathroom, water will flow; similarly, if I turn on the kitchen faucet, water also will flow. Then there are more complex situations, such as behavioral experiences that result in common results. These types of thinking continue into adulthood and can shape our lives. But is this the best way to live? Do our conclusions result in self-made boundaries that shield us from living life fully?
When you give up all your conclusions about yourself and the people and situations around you, Sadhguru explains, everything will become alive to you.
