Steps to Learning~

We have all had to learn things that have challenged what we already know. What we know has brought comfort and stability to an otherwise chaotic world, and whenever something is different than our current understanding of things we get nervous and cranky.

Yet as we grow older and mature in our thinking we come to the realization that there are understandings that 'may' be different than what we believe, but are none-the-less an acceptable truth.

The first step in the growth of learning is 'Unconscious Incompetence'. This is the realization that "We don't know what we don't know!" This is not only the first step, it is the most difficult to accomplish, because the paradims that are firmly established in our intellect fight against every attemp to change them.

But as we discover new ideas and concepts we come to the second step in learning, which is 'Conscious Competence'; that is, now you know that you don't know, and you work to remove that which you have learned that is false, and replace and establish this new concept in the intellect. In other words, you are good at it, but you must work hard to do it.

The final level of learning is as expected 'Unconscious Competence'. This is when that new thing you have learned is firmly established in the intellect, and now you no longer have to reprocess this information everytime you use it; it becomes automatic, and is no longer a burden, but a joy!

This is what Jesus meant when He said, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine," and "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth".

This Truth is different than what you now believe, and this is as it should be due to your current understanding. Take heart. Jesus said, "And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." (John 8:32)
