A fascinating YouTube video is making its way around through email, whatsapp etc. It's from a channel called SmarterEveryDay run by a guy named Destin. Destin is all about the joy of learning new things and in this video he describes his Backwards Brain Bike. In this episode he actually forgets how to ride a bike! (You can watch it by clicking here.)

Destin makes some very profound statements, such as "Knowledge does not equal understanding" and "You're looking at the world with a bias whether you think you are or not". At first I was quite taken by this video as I had never seen such an obvious and undeniable demonstration of Thought in the Moment being the direct power behind an experience of actual ability and competence and then the loss of that ability. I found it it quite striking!
But Destin gets a bit distracted. He seems to be drawn into the idea that his 6 year old was able to master the Backwards Bike much more quickly because a child's brain is more elastic than his older, aged, fixed brain.
It may be true that some people learn more quickly than others. It may be true that some brains are more elastic than others, but the Power of Thought trumps all of those things because it creates and sustains them all in the first place.
Our brains are as elastic as the Power of Thought allows them be.
Thank G-d, as long as we are alive, we are primed to perfectly feel Thought. And Thought is free. Free to present us with a new reality at any moment - no matter how old we are, no matter how long our reality has been a certain way and literally, no matter where or when you are.
That is awesome news!
