Rest to gain better, don't push too hard

While I was traveling back home with my wife, I realized something rather difficult to explain. To start, I came to the point to remember the things I've been looking upon the state of the media today, especially those that came from Hollywood.

It is proven that, most of the music/movies produced by them and their affiliates subconsciously gets into the mind of the audience and tends to 'program' them in a way that they have been instilled with the knowledge that will then affect the way they view and act on their lives--which is usually rather diminishing acts causing troubles personally.

I came to realize from these, what if we listen to good things everyday instead of pushing garbage in our head, would it be that they will be able to achieve greater good in our life, as we have been instilled with greater good knowledge?

I came to think of it, what if I listen everyday to good music, and listen to good talk even without really paying much attention, just listening to it while doing something like my daily work, would it be that the knowledge will be processed by my brain automatically?,
and without much effort my body will react on the right action.

I believe there is something more in our brains than just crunching everything we focus on, I believe they are things that gets into the brain without us noticing it. And when the time comes for its use, we are surprised to know that we know!

What if I listen or read the bible everyday, that I make it a part of my routine, would it be that my actions towards life would change? for better? Would it be that my knowledge and views be broaden and that my work will be easier?

Perhaps what we have been doing through centuries is to work hard, what if we rest while we work, and not push ourselves to the limits, maybe we can go further.

It may sound crazy but I totally believe now, that we can gain more by resting. And learn more by resting. Well of course I did not mean to sleep all day, what I mean is to just look around, sit for a while, look up and ask the Creator of all these things, just talk and listen. Look at the plants look how they grow.

We'll be surprised that we really don't have to work so hard, to be greedy to know everything, because the Creator has unfolded the secrets already, and the patterns have been laid down we just didn't stop to look at it, we pushed our brain too much, yet we extracted little, when the right approach all along was to make it rest.

Rest in God.
