THE IMPRESIONABILITY
Impressionability is something innate in human beings, however when it comes to the case that we are not able to choose the object of our attention but external images are imposed on us and enter our subconscious many times without permission, it is then that we must worry because our reactions are not being controlled by ourselves, it is more often than not we realize that we respond to stimuli mechanically simply because we have become accustomed to it and not because we have consciously decided it.
Children who little by little begin to know the world around them have a great capacity for admiration for everything they see and hear, in children that is very good because they are in the process of learning. That admiration of children for their environment becomes impressionability but it is a healthy impressionability because it is a natural search to know things, to understand them, to develop and stimulate their senses, in children we repeat that in the right measure is fine, and is work of parents and educators to guide them and explain how the world is based on the level of understanding of the child.
However, when you are already an adult and you have a impressionability that exceeds the natural admiration that can be had by nature, people, inventions, landscapes, etc. You enter a path that makes it impossible to access the latent powers of the mind.
That is because excessive impressionability detracts from people's energy and makes them lose their mental independence. You are in a situation in which the person does not choose what they like and what they do not, but is subject to what most impresses their senses that is something that of course is not under their control.
If a man sees a girl who seems beautiful to him either in person, on TV or in a magazine, the natural thing is that he likes that girl. But in most cases it is not simply that you have chosen that girl liked, that usually goes beyond, there is an idea of impressionability associated with EMS (Mental Scheme of society) that makes us automatically react with amazement before someone with whom we may not have crossed a word or know their customs. The impressionability is typical of people who identify too much with their physical self rather than their spiritual self.
This being so, how could one speak of a person who can develop his mind, if he is not even aware that he is impressionable, and less is aware that this is an impediment to reach his latent powers.
One can admire the twinkling stars, the colorful sky of a sunset, the majestic hills, the delicate fragrance of the herbs, the play of animals and the charm of human beings. But being an adult and already in a process of mental growth and development and also already knowing the world that surrounds us, we should not go from healthy admiration to impressionability, because intelligent people who know how to enjoy nature could become simple foolish people. they are stunned by anything they see.
Whether you choose what you will admire, whether you choose what you will like. Learn to make your decisions consciously, do not let your senses overflow according to the parameters of the mentioned EMS.
Actually, the only thing we should be impressed with is God and the part of him that touches us inside that is spiritual and not physical energy. The rest are things that we can conceive if we learn to have an open mind. Let us accustom ourselves to the fact that we like the things of the world because we have chosen it and not because they impress us. Furthermore, the less we are impressed with the things of the physical world, the better prepared we will be to face the challenges that will come before us, and understanding that of course we will be better able to enter the magical reality that represents "the right approach".
