THIS ENTRY IS UNDER ORDERS FROM THE SUPREME BEING

Blog number 522 ************** 12 June 2011

My wife told me this morning that Blog number 521 - the one about people mistaking opinions for facts, was an interesting entry, but that I didn't tell how to look for these facts that surround us.

The reason I didn't was that I have told how to do it hundreds of times, but it seems that cultural conditioning is so entrenched that nobody - well, not nobody, but you know what I mean, thinks it makes any sense. Therefore, they don't try. Mea culpa? I don't think so.

Ok, so here it is. This is the start.

Everybody, but everybody, nobody is excused, knows only what is true, what is real. Nobody knows anything that is false or imaginary. Nobody can find any thoughts they are having that are not real, are not true.

Now it is very easy - in a way, to find out if that statement is not true. All you have to do is to find one thought you have that is false. Nobody can do that, and very, very few will even try. Since this is of paramount importance in looking for facts, to dismiss trying to find a false thought in your head puts the kibosh on finding any facts about your existence.

I said, "It is easy - in a way" because not too many people know what a thought "looks like." Odd, isn't it? We are immersed in thoughts. If you ask a person if they have any thoughts, they will say, "Sure." Because they have been told that, you see? But if you ask them to tell you one, they cannot find any. They cannot find any because they don't know what they look like and they don't know what they look like because they have never looked at them.

Hint. Whenever you say something, say anything, THAT is what a thought looks like. "I look fat." That's a thought.  "Senator Weiner is a hottie." That is a thought.

The reason it is so important that you try to find a thought you have that is not true, is that you will have that experience, and all wisdom has to entertain experience. If you just believe me when I say you don't have any thoughts that are not true, you will have knowledge, but not wisdom. And knowledge changes with the person.

OK, that's enough for today. I have been told that some of my earlier writings were way too long and people tend to tune out. So do your homework and we'll talk more about this later.

Bravo, this remarkable phrase is necessary just by the way

Yes? Which "remarkable phrase"? And "it is necessary just by the way" ...What way?

Certainly, it is not right

What is this "it" that is not right?
