God Thinking XLVII - Unlearning 3

"God thinking necessitates, that, to be ready to receive from God, the very best that God has, (God’s storehouse of blessings) (those things that advantage you, profit you, and bring you favor), you must [unlearn - remove - re-prioritize or even eradicate], those links (bio-chemical electrical imprints in the mind) of untruth that may still exist, before you can receive the fullness of His blessing in your life. 

Ex:  If you need 14 gauge (thickness) wire to operate a 110 circuit and you have 14 gauge wire wired to the switch  and you have 14 gauge wire wired to the light fixture, but in the middle of the circuit, between the switch and the light fixture you have some strands of darning thread, there will be no light.

Ex: Let’s use a computer processor as an example.  As we bring input into the computer, over time, the computer becomes fragmented.  Bits and pieces of information are haphazardly stored all over the place.  Files are stored in different clusters all over the computer causing multiple problems, similar to those we experience in our minds:

ü   Slow retrieval because of fragmented information

ü   Corrupted files because the data is disjointed

ü   Memory problems because too many resources are being used to retrieve totally insignificant information.    

I believe it is just as important, what you unlearn, as what you learn.  But unlearning is harder than learning.  You can learn simply by being in the right place at the right time or even by default, but to unlearn, it takes discipline.  

Unlearning is not a new concept, even though it is not talked about much, unlearning has always been a part of the doctrine of Christ."
