One of my Tantra teachings was to learn new ways of doing things, and to free myself of habits as much as possible.

Easier said than done. But possible. At least a bit, in particular when you try to be gentle to yourself.

Don’t be imitative as your senses might become dull.

Try to find your way of doing things in your own way.

Have your own signature on everything you do.

Tantra says as well that if you can go on finding new ways every day, your life will remain an adventure, a thrill. You will never be bored as you will always be curious to know, as you will always be on the verge of seeking the unfamiliar and the not-yet-known. 

If you are lucky, your senses will remain clear and your eyes open. 

Seeking, exploring, finding, searching. 

You cannot become dull, not stupid.

Apparently stupidity starts at the age of seven.

It seems to start around the age of four, but at the age of seven it is very apparent. 

Children normally starts to become stupid at the age of seven.

The child learns 50% of all the learnings of his whole life by that age.

If he will live until seventy, within 63 years, he will learn only 50%.

It might be true that the average mental age of people is 12 years. Maybe people don’t grow beyond that, they somehow get stuck. 

Is this the reason for so much childishness in the world?

Try it out: Trigger a person at the age of 45 years, maybe by insulting, by claiming love, and see what happens – within a blink of a second, he acts like a 12 year old kid. 

Childishness.

People are always ready to fall back into childishness behavior. Me, too. Just recently, I complained about a circumstance, I can never change but that triggered me so much, that I was acting like a teenage girl. 

Mental age issue. Physical age is actually of no importance. 

People die childish, might never grow.

Therefore:  

Don’t be imitative as your senses might become dull.

Try to find your way of doing things in your own way.

Have your own signature on everything you do.

Only then you have the chance to develop open and clear senses.
