The most successful development a person can become, is being their own. We achieve this because of free choice. The thinking of a person responsible for their thoughts and their effect upon what they choose to learn and become.
Consider than the thinking of bondage. A situation of a person repeating an undesirable thought or action, all because of a failure to learn. That people will choose not to make an effort to learn. Life is so much easier when being told what to think.
Thinking creates learning. Like the learning of self, a process beginning with an involvement of thinking.
This idea of thinking, or learning to think, or whatever idea we think we have used in our learning of ourselves, began with the Israelites at Mt. Sinai. When God gave to Moses law, The Ten Commandments, for the Israelites to use in creating a transition from bondage to freedom. That is, to think.
Thinking began then as an involvement of faith. A believing, there is someone greater than ourselves. That an interest of this Supreme Being or Creator is for us to be free. The thinking and learning of each person in becoming and being their own.
For myself, choosing to live within the parameters of law that are good and true, of law limiting behavior without limiting freedom and the development of freedom, that the living within the limits of each commandment creates freedom, began a thinking and learning of self.
A choosing to learn of the self, while simultaneously thinking and learning of law, created an effective development. The learning of self, who I am, while learning the responsibility of self, what I am.
My writing the above is a perspective of individual thinking and responsibility. A learning involved in the freedom of becoming one's own. I chose to write about this because a situation also exists, where we have people that choose not to believe, nor live within the limits of law. They commit acts of murder, adultery, stealing, lying, and coveting. A failure of thinking where people give up their responsibility of self to commit an act that takes from them their freedom of self.
Think of then that being one's own begins a self-love. A situation where each person learns their thoughts and ideas of I or me. Where they think and learn what they are in the development of a caring relationship with themselves. A development that becomes the basis of all their relationships. Their sharing of themselves that becomes us.
So now, each person with their a sense of I and a potential for us can begin a relationship. For the relationship to be healthy and become more, their sense of I and of us needs to be balanced.
This begins another development of thinking.
