The Doctrine of the Mind
NURTURE THE INTELLECT – Treat the mind as a sanctuary; related to “staying “current”, it is also important to continuously stimulate the mind. Both academic and experiential learning are useful, and in fact, a balance between the two is optimal. Reading new materials daily, taking classes for their own sake, engaging in discourse with peers, traveling to new places, meeting new people, experiencing new cultures – all of these things are conducive to mental stimulation and should be a necessary undertaking for every adherent.
