Handling limitations
A new born baby is yet_to_think like we grown ups do ๐…. ( No O.S./operating system, no software, and no data base/stored_memory, as yet.
Intellect functions unfettered ๐….
The kid discovers a pattern….
Mom feeds her milk when the baby cries๐
A non_verbal nascent concept is vaguely, fuzzily formed “cry.., to get milk”. If it works, data is with integrity ๐, memory recall is situation based.
Extension of the concept : if food is a response to my crying, why not toys, etc ( intellect explores, new areas of application of the available sole concept).
Next level: try using the concept “cry to get whatever i want”, adding a limitation faced by mom. Wait for the right moment ๐. When mom is surrounded by many people ( wedding, hotel, crowded bus or train etc) “use” that Crying_technology as an emotional blackmail ๐. ( Marlon Brando in “Godfather” movie: “I make a proposal which the other can't refuse”. Blackmail!)
Adult stage intellect:
Fiction : villain in a movie retorts to a heroine “ you removed the bullets. I am surrounded by cops. But only we both know that the gun is empty. I tape your mouth, point this gun on your head, walk off ๐”( limitations overcame).
Real life: the boss, unwilling to deny permission to leave early( my spouse needed to reach home before our 8 years old son finds the door locked, returning home from school), and instead imposed a ‘limitation’ saying “you may go early, but only after knowing the fate of upcountry cheques we presented in the local clearing”. Her motherly affection forced her intellect to handle this limitation ๐. She prepared the envelope with the address superscribed and said “this envelope works in both the possible situations, whether the cheque is paased or failed ๐. Only the contents differ, not the size of the paper ๐. Thank you for the permission Sir ๐ “.. …. That boss got clean blowled. ๐คฃ
Situational limitations: a doctor’s car caught in a traffic jam at a red signal ….
Doctor can think “I am in the car, I am not ‘the’ car ๐. I can bloody well get out, find an alternative to reach hospital, do the surgery, save the life ๐”( option, handling a limitation imposed by situation)
Ancient desi guys of Bharat: Similar to the doctor, but much deeper: ”This body is mine, I reside in this body๐. But I am not ‘the’ body๐… Let me use the body when it suits, and park this body to go out and do what I want and re-enter the body๐”( Aadi Shankara did it, and won the argument with Mrs Mishra, wife of the first pontiff of Shringeri mutt).
My teacher: “Damnit ๐ก. Do you need a gadget like phone to reach me from a distance? Are you not insulting the ancient spiritual tools and technologies I taught you???”(His exact words were highly polished and soft ๐. I merely used my interpretation of what he ‘meant’. No harm in trying, I thought ๐ค. But the confirmation came from ‘random freshers’ for whom I had volunteered for backup support “sir, it's a waste of time to keep on seeking our teacher's confirmation every time, about your response to our queries. He sounds like a Jherox/Xerox/fotocopy of your words a fortnight ago ๐คฃ. Now onwards, it's enough if you reply”( too many instances to dismiss it as coincidence. The difficult remains, however, to satisfy my “logical mind”. Non_verbal thought_communications are like that baby responding innocently, in a no mind state๐. Either via impulse or via intellect.
Modern science tells us, “use a greater force to oppose gravity and lift off or fly”. Ancient desi guys thought “intensify, focus and direct own pranic energy and become UNAVAILABLE to gravity ๐”( tougher task, but eco_friendly, cost_effective and everlasting technology ๐๐๐๐
Unlimitedly yours,

PostScript limitations: I didn't learn how to invoke my intellect at_will. As an alternative, I tried concept based thinking, as often as I can. And, no hard_wired concepts ๐. That's what worked for me ๐ ๐ญ
