Mentor: “Thank you child, for lending me your ear. Your plea for help to improve the capacity of [[your mind]] has been noted on High. What you are asking for is actually [[mind]] enlargement. It was intimated to you that you do not use all of the mind [[capacity]] with which the [[Creator]] has gifted you. So let us [[explain]].
“Being able to [[focus]] is very important, as on [[this planet]] very little [[attention]] is given to [[teaching]] children how this is mastered by learning how to [[think]]. Consequently we see many absent-minded people today. They simply [[become]] forgetful because they are not living in present-centered awareness, which is [[mandatory]] if one wants to avoid being labeled with early-onset dementia through [[forgetfulness]].
“Many things take one’s attention away from [[present]]-centered [[awareness]]; for example too much use being made of texting with an electronic gadget that keeps one in contact with others. This [[defrauds]] the [[thinking]] capacity although this may not be apparent. Yet in the [[younger generation]], over-[[indulgence]] will lead to sloppy thinking, as one does not have to engage in deep thinking.
“I [[counsel]] you to keep contacts among [[friends]] current and real to increase as much face-to-face real [[conversation]] as possible so one gets the underlying nuances of what is truly being said leading to a greater [[understanding]]. Without true understanding of each other, how can true [[friendship]] flourish and true [[love]] [[grow]]? This mainly superficial texting business will ultimately defraud the human [[spirit]] of real human contact and will result in an [[alienated]] society.
“[[Present]]-centered focusing gives others your real [[attention]], thus avoiding alienation because where real human contact is missing people begin feeling [[lonely]] and unworthy of attention, unless someone texts them. However, these are not real human face-to-face contacts. Think about this for a moment.
“Please do not let occasions for real, meaningful [[conversation]] slide into nothingness, only later to be remembered as missed [[opportunities]] for real contact. Keep [[your mind]] active and be stimulated by real searching [[questions]] that demand the higher thinking [[power]] of [[the mind]].
“You are all [[together]] on a small spaceship named [[Earth]]. Do [[become]] interested in your [[neighbors]], which is truly everyone you meet. [[Life]] is too short to exist as a loner in the family of man. Life can be so exquisitely [[beautiful]] when true and [[altruistic]] [[feelings]] can become habitual. And they will make life so much more interesting, rather than talking past each other in mundane [[surface]] conversations.
“[[Concentrate]] on loving [[relationships]] rather than leading an impoverished life possibly resulting in being spiritually bereft and devoid of substance.
===Closing===
“In [[truth]] and [[fact]], the future [[progress]] of the planet is at stake through the lack of [[present]]-centered awareness and the lack of [[quality]] of [[thought]] and actions of the planet’s [[inhabitants]].
“I suggest you give this issue some thought and start improving the present situation wherever you find yourselves.”
