Keeping the Mind in Good Order as We Grow Older

We spend so much of our time on the same level of consciousness that we tend to forget there are other echelons of awareness of equal if not greater significance. This is normal; it is the natural order of things in the working years. The conscious mind determines the choices of action we take in dealing with everyday pressures, guides us in one direction or another, and evokes decisions to preserve basic security.

But when we retire from the traditional workplace these demands on deliberate thought tend to diminish in intensity as a rule, and unless we make fresh provision for keeping the mind in good order as we grow older, apathy sets in, memory fades, brain power drains, and the wheels of the mental engine room grind more slowly with each day that passes.

And so it follows that because we live in a mind world, to take care of ourselves we must take care of all aspects of the mind if we are to be all we can be in the third age.
