The Need for Processing Time

This morning's session emphasized for me (once again) the need for time for our minds to process new information, organize it and re-organize it until it can be fit into our existing "spaces" . . . or until it can create new spaces (or boxes) or connections so that it can "be made sense of." My mind will be reading this morning's notes and the links on the page . . . and playing the games (of course) for a day or 2 (or more) to enable my mind to "get a handle on" what was presented. At this point I feel that digestion takes longer than it used to. Maybe my "hard drive" is closer to its capacity than it used to be. More than likely, tho, it's just that the old central processor doesn't function as rapidly as it used to. Maybe it never really did. Maybe the "once faster processing speed" is just a story I made up because it makes me feel better.

Maybe that statement shows that I am beginning to understand some of the material that was presented this morning.

Now where are the rest of those games . . . ???
