"Free and critical minds can emerge only by a return to the source-the primary sources. A free and critical mind takes nothing for granted and is not intimidated by "authorities" who frequently may be more confused than the general public. Free and critical minds seek truth without chauvinism or shame."-Asa G. Hilliard III

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Contradictionless
Floating Through Life In The Midst Of Zeroness
Unity Consciousness #890

.

The reason a person has no problem with Second Truth logic is because their main connection to the First Truth is broken, blocked, severed, muted. All of us have already experienced this in some area of life and have come to recognize it, do something about it and overcome it. We can self-correct when we want to. We know for certain we are better as a result of that process, no matter the earlier confused state of our logic. We also know there are likely other areas of logic waiting and wanting to be brought up to date, yet we are able to function, floating on wishy-washy waves through the motions of life as if contradictionless. This occurs because we sense no urgent need to investigate that for which we already have formed a bonding relationship with another ideology that demands our allegiance belief speculation, our time and other resources, especially our lives overall. We place the entirety of spirit-soul, the zero, in the hands of the partial that has received the least amount of thinking critical.

Changing The Angle Of The Perspective

It is good news when you encounter conflicting information. It is natural and normal. It is healthy.
It means you already have some information related to the subject.
In means you are not starting from cluelessness or emptyheadedness.
It means you can now use your stronger genetic potential to conduct a reasonable enough of a thought process in order to grow and develop a better understanding.

When you encounter information and it conflicts with your logic, it means you are farther along in the process of understanding than someone who just accepts the information or just rejects the information.
This means you are least likely to be an emotionally-imbalanced person tossed to and fro, especially by fear.
It means you are more likely to be open-minded which is the only way anybody can develop properly.

Focusing On A Common Major Contradictionless Area Of Logic

There are so many inconsistencies and contradictions in the 5-in-1 Bible, the only way to miss them is to have swallowed the hook, line and sinker so as not to notice the taste and then reel yourself in one time only, never to cast consciousness out into the open waters again because you are now firmly in place bobbing along.
You don't even understand that even if you are on the “right” track, that continuous growth and development must take place, so instead you just keep going back and forth to the same place, the same source of information to get a refresher course in the same logic that has not expanded or improved at all.

It is quite ridiculous to claim religious textbooks are the “word of God” and yet this God gave you a book, one small book, to totally entrust your life to, yet this same God chose not to tell you everything as follows:
1 Corinthians 13:9, “For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.”
1 Corinthians 13:12, “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”
So if we know in part, that means those bible writers did not know.
Also neither do these preachers.
So why do we believe religions as if they tell the whole story about life and existence?
Here's why. We remain contradictionless because we perceive we are going through self-controlled motions when in fact we are being pushed and pulled along on spiritual energy waves. We perceive momentum in one direction as proof of making the right selection while keeping all our eyes closed. As a result, even the two eyes on our faces, misunderstand what is seen and have no clue there is such a thing as the unseen always, everywhere in everything.

But I digress in the midst of trying to get a handle on this thing called contradictionless.
That same 5-in-1 Bible tells you to look around at the things that are made in the natural world and then you will understand and have no excuse:
Romans 1:18-20, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse”
In other words, you don't have to believe, you can know. No only that, you can know the Godhead must be female and male because, by looking around it's obvious.
And the contradictions continue in holy scriptures:
Matthew 13:11, “He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given” [Therefore if you believe this verse, you have just signed your logic over to certain people.]

Mark 4:11, “And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:”[Are you supposed to remain “without” your entire life even after you've pledged full devotion to the God of these religions? If so, how can you, always being “without” and not “in the know,” expect to one day be in the “in club” when it comes to salvation and getting into some kind of heaven?]

1 Corinthians 8:2, “And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.”
Wait a minute! That same Bible says that for the saints, it is possible to know:
1 Corinthians 1:5, “That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;”

Contradictionless Without Zeroness

Perhaps we remain feeling contradictionless because we've also made ourselves comfortable in the easy chair of revised slavery where there is no room for zeroness and the First Truth to remind us.

Perhaps floating is our thing.

Source Notes On Listening To Spoken & Unspoken Thoughts
Unity Consciousness #879

.
No source, no matter how many listed, how thoroughly documented, how clearly explained, how obvious the need for further study or how critical the information is, will satisfy someone not dedicated to seeking the First Truth.


Someone whose first response to information is to ask for a source, is faking.


A Truthseeker first asks questions of self and of the information just encountered and of the information already living rent-free in brain compartments.


Then and only then, after putting forth a reasonable effort to understand, does the Truthseeker ask for assistance.


This step must not be skipped because it allows the Truthseeker to review understandings and formulate a more informed basis by which further information can be discerned. It helps the Truthseeker begin to detect inconsistencies and missing information that is preventing understanding.


Let me repeat to be clear. If the first thing you do when hearing new or different information is say, "Where did you get that information?" then you have skipped some steps. The first thing you should do is use listening skills and critical analysis to at least come up with 2 to 3 reasons for and/or against the information you just heard, even if you simply summarize the other point of view. Then you should list information from what you previously believed or know that is consistent and inconsistent with the new information. Not everything has to be a definite statement. Some things should be listed as possibilities. The thought process has been explained extensively on this blog.


Question dictates answer. Quest dictates success. Immediately asking for a source is not a question. It is more of a statement of "I don't believe you and the information."


A Truthseeker receiving information from someone in a face-to-face or voice-to-voice conversation, will automatically ask questions of the person in order to try to compare and contrast logic. A person who just politely listens without asking "real" questions is not learning is not caring is wasting everybody's time. It is unnatural to have any type of conversation and not have questions, even in the grocery store checkout line.
You are composed of nothing but creative genetic potential genius. It doesn't even sleep when you sleep. So then, when, during your waking hours, do you not have any questions about all the things this great potential that you are, is experiencing?
A quick way to identify if you or someone else is faking the funk and pretending to be a Truthseeker, is to give them some new information or different information and then listen to see how quickly the person asks for the source rather than engaging in dialogue. (Please share what you find out).


The need for a source will present itself when the time comes but first preliminary thought processing must take place in order to guide the rest of the thought process so you can follow the path that best leads to the understanding needed. A basic process includes seeking, questioning, seeking, searching, seeking, answering, seeking, questioning...

The goal is not to agree or disagree. The goal is to understand. As a Truthseeker matures in understanding, agreement disagreement works itself out. Why? Because it is working itself in - along with the First Truth.


To stick with an ideology because you fell in love with it because it was your first choice when you were young, well, is just plain... like never moving beyond your first romance which causes all other relationships to suffer.

To stick with an ideology because you've been with it so long and want to keep pretending you knew what you were doing better back then when you knew less and because you are such a faker you don't want to have to admit to family and friends your decision was wrong, well, is just plain...foolish to choose the greater pain that exists over a shame that does not exist.

So we persist in stubbornness and miss out on the benefit of experience. We treat realizations gained through experience as if they have no relevance to making some adjustments from our previous position to our current stance. We don't understand that is exactly what contributes to circum-stance. So instead of us benefiting from what we know now that we didn't know back then, we choose to remain trapped in the contradiction of knowing we were old enough to make our own decisions, yet still believing we were also mature enough. We know better but choose to not do better. We are trapped between what we wished was true then and what we know is true now. Learning from experience and through experience has been useless.

Our thought process and stuck-to-it-tiveness makes our logic toxic. We think logic is something other than what it really is. This has been explained elsewhere fully so for now, briefly, logic is simply information put into a certain order which produces a certain understanding. Then we combine each understanding with some or all of our other understandings. Then we come to conclusions and then we make decisions. Logic is more than mental. Logic has a spiritual component, an emotional component and a physical component. Logic is affected by the degree of health in all four of the inseparable aspects of self.

You might think your mind is okay and your logic is right; however, if your body ain't right or your emotions ain't right and your spirit ain't right, then your logic will be likewise affected.
Health is more than our superficial awareness and superficial assessment of our health. Health exists at the fundamental level. Thus, without the fundamentals, we are logically in trouble, troubling ourselves by virtue of the vice-grip of our logic.

Closer To Finding Fairness In A Universe Of Wholeness
Unity Consciousness #743

.

(Part 4 of 26)

The Creator explains the same thing many times so, no matter the perspective, you can't not get the message...

So Let's Take It From The Top & The Whole As Many Times As We Have To

The Creator outlined and designed Creation as a Universe Of Wholeness.
The whole outline is on display throughout the Universe within and the Universe without for all to read, see and understand.
All we have to do is continue maturing through bits and pieces and stages of understanding.

Which Way Are We Moving?

If we are not moving towards understanding more of the things we used to think were different are actually the same thing in a different form, then we are not moving towards Oneness.
If we are not moving towards an understanding of seeing the Creator as ourselves and ourselves as the Creator, then the logic we are using is not moving us towards Oneness with the Creator.
If our logic is at odds with wholeness, such that we cannot see ourselves as being the same as the Creator, then neither can we see ourselves as being the same as other humans or the same as non-humans - except in a lipservice way.

Ask Wholeness-Type Questions To Get Wholeness-Type Answers

Rather than just ask questions, we must become consciously aware of the need to ask the entire Universe so we can eventually get the entire understanding needed.
Rather than just ask, “What is fairness?” it is additionally helpful to ask, “How does the Creator express fairness in the Ecosystem?”
“Does my understanding of fairness make sense when I apply it to other creations?”
“How do various worldviews, philosophies, values and definitions fit into the Creator's Trueprint Design?”
“What is the impact of my worldview and each of my philosophies, values and definitions on other creations?”
“Would I like it and would it be fair if other creations took my perspectives and I had their perspective and they treated me the way I treat them?”
“Do I think other creations have not been given the same considerations from the same Creator?”
“Is there any non-human logic that supports the way I think about things?”
“Have I found non-human examples for each of my understandings about self and about life?”

“Have I found human examples that match each of my understandings about non-humans?”
If I have not, then I have not yet taken the wholeness of the Creator's Design into consideration as I am formulating understanding; therefore, my ability to understand the whole Creator is greatly fragmented and diminished.

Again, Why The Need To Ask Questions

The Universe is asking questions of us because the Creator is a Life of One seeking answers and understanding through the Many forms of Self, which turns out to be Us.
Yes, life is a test. – we must check the answers, we are getting and giving against the Ecosystem Trueprint answer key.
It is hard for me to conceive a scenario, where checking answers only against other human test takers is sufficient, when the whole Universe is taking the same fundamental test from different perspectives. This is why we must check our understandings from the perspectives of different forms of creation from the top of Creation to the bottom. Open-mindedness extends beyond considering other human perspectives.

Bringing Down To Earth How We Were Created

All of us (humans and non-humans) live in One Earth, One Solar System, One Galaxy, One Universe, One Ecosystem, One Natural World.
All Creations came from One Creator and all humans came from one place and one female/male couple.

If we are hoping to be with the Creator someday, then how do we justify not striving to understand how all Creation's puzzle pieces fit together in fairness, unfairness and harmony?

How do we justify not taking all the love in our hearts, minds and souls that we love the Highest Power with, and using the power of that love to understand the wholeness of the Creator's Design which explains how all the details work as an Ecosystem Family?

Once past childhood, it is inexcusable to remain stuck, thinking we can pluck ideologies out of a tiny garbled grab bag with holes in it and once we have managed to hold onto enough ideologies, we think that's the best process to get us back to Oneness.

Emotional Aspect Of Agreeing & Disagreeing
Unity Consciousness #736

.

(Part 3 of 6)

Emotion – One Of Four Inseparable Aspects Of Self

Because spirit, mind and emotion are inseparable as one, logic has an emotional component; therefore, agreeing and disagreeing produce emotional vibrations felt by spirit, mind and body. (Day 9 and UC#658).
This is also the same as how genetic influences that affect one aspect of self, also affect the other three aspects. Logic is a genetic component and information is a genetic influence. (See Human Genetics' Changing Influences & Responses )

In other words, it is to be expected that agreeing produces an emotional response that feels good. When agreeing is between people whose logic merely agrees with each other but not with Ecosystem Logic, then agreeing can feel good even if the agreeing is not good for the two people. In other words, just because something feels good does not mean I have made the best decision.
This is easily understood when it comes to agreeing to have sex or to get married.

It is to be expected that disagreeing produces an emotional response that does not feel good. When disagreeing is between people whose logic merely disagrees with each other but at least one set of logic is more aligned with the Ecosystem, then disagreeing feels bad, but for good reason. In other words, just because something feels bad does not mean I have made a bad decision.
For example, one person wants to get or stay married, but the other person does not for whatever reason. This feels bad but is a good thing. Time to move apart.

Also, disagreeing can occur when both sets of logic are significantly out of alignment with Ecosystem Logic. The result is usually both people feeling bad, yet feeling good because each person considering their logic to be "as it should be." Both people feel bad, but for the wrong reasons. They feel bad at each other and about each other's logic rather than feeling bad about being out of balance with Ecosystem Logic.

For example both people think they own the water, land, air rights, space rights and other resources and have the right to exert unilateral dominion over the same and each other. This logic is considered to be “as it should be” because its information comes from a mentality and spirituality with a weak and weakening connection to Eco-sensibility.

Seeking Understanding, Feeling Emotional

Before there was disagreeing, there was agreeing.
Before there was misunderstanding, there was understanding.
First, there was agreeing and understanding between humans and the rest of the natural world. Thus, as a result, as an effect and as a byproduct, there was automatically agreeing and understanding between humans. This is the only way for human progress to occur.

This then re-minds my logic, that the understanding I seek, has been already reached.
I have simply lost my connections to the way to get back to this understanding. By way of metaphor, I am one card in a multi-deck set of cards that have been shuffled and scrambled and must be put back into order by the Great Spider who is highly qualified to untangle the tangled web of logic with all its snags, snarls and k(nots). [Each person is like this. Also within each person logic is like this. Also in the world of humans, logic in circulation and that has been getting the most hits in recent times, is like this.]

All this is explained for the purpose of helping me understand that when I am striving and struggling to understand something, why it is not easy and doesn't feel good and why certain untanglings of logic take a great deal of patience and persistence.
This is also why, once I increase understanding, it sure feels good.

Information Is For Consideration

It's up to each person to decide what to do with information.
It is each person's responsibility and destiny to provide information, instructions and perspective to the Ecosystem of Logic to facilitate understandings of our genetic potential. I already do this by virtue of everything I think, say and do and by everything I don't think, say or do. I must become conscious of my influence in the Ecosystem so I can be more in control of self.

Now, once information is received by me or provided by me, then a portion of Principle #4 of the Ten Cardinal Principles becomes satisfied.
What then remains, as always, is the need incentive for me and others to continue to get information, instructions and perspectives and work on optimizing Ecosystem Logic.

On one hand, because I have been so ingrained (deeply programmed, yet having only surface awareness of myself) with information and instructions (thought processes) and fragmented flipped perspectives, logic gets tangled up by nearly every concept, a few being ”competing against one another,” ”comparing & contrasting lives,” and by “not understanding how to break out of my logic” by adjusting and transforming the habit of the logic I have repeated thousands of times.
As a result, emotions weigh-in and are given too much weight in thought processes, which only serves to devote me to the logic I currently possess and to heck with the rest. This is an unhealthy situation for any person because this type of thinking invites stagnation which further shifts momentum to the side of the lower-self and the logic it forms.

On the other hand, if I just recheck my logic against the Ecosystem and check the logic I just encountered against the Ecosystem, and then think again for the third time, then my emotional reaction to the information won't interfere with or stop me from going through the process necessary to recognize more of where logic connects and disconnects. Since emotional energy has now been funneled into analysis and studying, emotional overreaction is usually avoided. (UC#644)
This process also helps me avoid thoughts of somebody trying to persuade me, convince me or outsmart me as discussed in UC#731.
This process also helps me be relaxed and receptive as information is encountered rather than continue to use emotion-dominated logic that shrieks, “Resist! Deny! Ignore! Dismiss! Be fearful! Act out!”

This process also helps me understand why it is not necessary to hate someone I disagree with or declare war or sanction them or vilify them.* However, a good reason to fight back is when I am under attack, otherwise, going separate ways to find our way home another way is the best course of action. A good reason to limit interacting with and communicating with the person is if they are not faithful to what a conversation is.

In keeping with the multi-layered challenge facing the Great Spider, I must check out information rather than throw it out. Better yet, don't throw it out, instead, work it out so it can be sorted out.
This becomes more possible as we increase understandings such as realizing the logic of the lower-self only makes logical sense when information is left out or altered because the lower-self considers the partial to be the whole. Therefore complete information exposes the partial for what it is, thus different information is considered an attack because it indicates the need for self-correction. This is exactly what societies do. (UC#734)
Of course then, the logic of the higher-self makes logical sense as information is added or restored to original condition because the higher-self considers the whole. Therefore, partial information is always subject to revision. Different information is an opportunity to check myself if I respect myself. This matches what civilizations do. (UC#734)

Information Is Necessary For My Salvation

Once I understand agreeing and disagreeing are based on my understanding of Ecosystem Logic, there is no need to become overly emotional when I encounter logic I disagree with. What am I being emotional for? Because of myself? Because of the Ecosystem of Logic? Because of the Creator? Of course, not! Over emotional responses only occur when understanding and focus are off-centered on another person's logic.

Information of all types is necessary for me to work through on my journey through this dimension. If I am to achieve ascension I must rise in understandings. In order to do so, I must employ processes that help me figure out what is what and what goes where.
Why wouldn't a person be excited, happy, glad and feel good knowing the steps being taken are helping them regain their health, strength, Eco-sense, happiness and oneness (salvation) with the Creator? And likewise feel bad when information is not available to stimulate logic so it can be assessed, addressed and adjusted to move towards oneness of understanding – which by grace I am given this ability to “work out” my own salvation by working through logic.

Knowing that logic is part of the spiritual journey and logic is part of the way, is the peace that passes through understanding. It is calming effect logic.

Note: The Ecosystem is fundamentally Information. It is a much broader database of information than what humans have created. That's why I must compare the information (logic) I am using to Ecosystem Logic. Sister Marimba Ani provided information to re-mind me to not forget the logical use of metaphor. The use of metaphor finds the common connection between various forms of creation. This is possible because every aspect of Creation is a different form of the same metaform. Thus comparing logic to Ecosystem Logic is to compare my logic to the common connecting logic of all Creation. A high use of metaphor is to teach Universal logic in a concise form. Since all metaphors are two-sided, the high use of metaphor ensures one side is always something that is non-human created and the other side is something that is related to the human species, exclusively or not, such as having a spirit/soul, emotions, getting married and making love.
Each person's logic represents a mixture of portions of Ecosystem Logic. The more complete this information is and the more in order this information is, the less chance there is for distortion of conclusions and decisions.

Thinking Twice and Thinking Three Times
Unity Consciousness #731

.

In any craft requiring measuring and cutting, it is considered wisdom to measure twice and cut once. Same goes for the craft of decision-making. It is considered wisdom to think twice.

There are at least two ways to think twice.

1. Think once then don't change the perspective, don't change any of the information and don't change any part of the thought process. Think again.
Thinking twice this way is a review and double-check. This is what is usually meant by “think twice.”

2. Think once then change one or more of the following, partially or completely: perspective, information, thought process. Then think again.
Sometimes this will lead to a different conclusion, sometimes not.

Far too many people mistake the first approach to thinking twice for the second approach. They mistakenly think they have been open-minded just by simply going over the same information using the same thought process from the same perspective.

It is also important to understand that when two conclusions exist after thinking twice, one conclusion is not necessarily better than the other.
It simply means that some portion of the first time you thought about something and some portion of the second time you thought about something is different enough to lead to a different conclusion – slightly, significantly or totally.

This helps remind you how a difference in perspective, information or thought process, changes conclusions for yourself and for others.

When you have reached different conclusions, it is helpful to seek to understand where the difference occurred and why. Then, you must seek to understand whether or not you need to make some adjustments between information, thought processes and perspectives used during each of the two times you thought about the same thing.

This helps you understand yourself better when you reach conclusions and make decisions and also helps you understand others better when their conclusions and subsequent decisions differ from yours. Don't focus on the person or their conclusions and decisions. Focus on the information they are using, the perspective they are using and the thought process they are using.
Practice on yourself by reviewing conclusions you once reached and decisions you once made that are now different.

Pick an approach and try it out. Then change something and try it out again.
Try to understand the points of convergence where the two approaches match and also try to understand the points of divergence, where the two approaches don't match.
I suggest avoiding the use of the words agree and disagree when practicing on yourself and when thinking about others or having discussions with others. Those two words, agree and disagree automatically invoke thoughts of persuasion and convincing, which are two things that most people resist and guard against because those words cause people to think someone is smarter than them or right and they are not as smart and wrong. All of this is not a good basis to try to reach understanding of information, understanding of thought process or understanding of perspective.
If we do some or all of what is put forth in this blog message, it will help facilitate understanding of self, which is what our focus should be on when it comes to encountering information, experiencing information and studying information, processes, perspectives, conclusions and decisions made by self and made by others during any time period of human existence.

Think Three Times

Even though each person has the free will to decide when and how to think twice, that does not change the obvious need to think more than once when it comes to making certain decisions.
It helpful to think once, then think twice using the first approach, and then think twice using the second approach.

Thinking more than once automatically occurs when a person seeks counsel from family, friends or other sources.
However, sometimes the person falls into the trap of relying on family, friends or other sources that meet the requirements of the first approach above but do not meet the requirements of the second approach. This becomes confirmation bias intentionally or not.

Consider this. Every moment of every day, we are constantly living, experiencing and encountering information through our various sensing abilities.
Hopefully we are also increasing in understanding (maturing).
As a result of all this information, we should either continuously or periodically think twice and think three, four or more times about some of our most important conclusions and decisions.

Sweet Innocent Society's Child, Where Art Thou?
Unity Consciousness #724

.

(Part 1 of 4)

If there is such a thing as innocence, it is quickly, methodically and relentlessly taken out of society's child.
We know this because from Day 1, most people are taught their culture. This is as it should be.
If that culture contains a significant amount of logical constructions that are out of balance with self and all else, then the opportunity to maintain innocence is stripped away from the child.

The child is trained to think the same way as parents, just because they are parents.
The child is trained to think the same way as family and friends.
As this is happening all the major institutions simultaneously bombard the child.
Again, this is as it should be but when the information is out of balance, the child has very little chance of learning to be open-minded in order to make corrections to misinformation.

After parents, family and friends, the four main culprits in societies that do the most damage to young psyches are:
1. Education system
2. Television
3. All other forms of human-generated media
4. Religion

Very little to no emphasis is placed on self-study (studying self and studying topics of interest by yourself). Self-study is only promoted in the context of studying more of the same from the same sources and same like-minded sources. This keeps you informed of what society wants you to think but it does very little to improve understanding.
The blame however is on parents, family and friends and their parents, family and friends who live entire lives without ever understanding anything more than they have been trained to understand. By the time parents, family and friends have the ability to influence a child, these same parents, family and friends have been sufficiently trained to think just like 1, 2, 3, 4 above.

The child becomes mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically confused. Why? Because imbalanced information is full of unresolved contradictions and conundrums. The child is trained to not know how to handle this because parents, family and friends want the child to think like them and then later in life learn to think for themselves but only to the degree it does not change any fundamental thinking. The child is expected to keep all this confusion straight in their heads using very damaged thought processes based on mismatched information considered as verifiable but unable to withstand scrutiny.

in The child's messed up logic tells the child to make choices based on the weakest identifiers of self and to make choices for reasons other than based on an understanding of the information being considered.

When and where is there the chance of sweet innocence for society's child?

(UC#71), (UC#592), (UC#201)

Even though many people worldwide already live more balanced lives, more people in societies are seeking ways to eat healthier, buy local and at farmer's markets, garden more and grow their own food, use wood stoves, get rid of grass, recycle, gather their own water, generate their own electricity, reduce dependence on products and machines, downsize to smaller and tiny houses, shop more at goodwill and thrift stores, learn how to do what they depend on others to do and do many other things to move towards living simpler without all of the dream pursuits, accumulations and trappings of societies with its associated misbehaviors. All these things are signs, messages and continuously emerging indications that thinking is changing back towards the fundamentals, thus towards the originating traditions that are sustainable because these practices are more in harmony with self and all else. This is what people want even if not aware of it or able to articulate it. As a result, religion is one of those things many people are now shifting away from. The stronger force and faithfulness of Nyame has been and still is providing all the information necessary for all people to move in this direction. Likewise education, television, other media and the imbalanced logic instilled in people by parents, family and friends must all give way to balanced logic. This must happen because the Creator must heal self. This will happen even if it takes a removal of all we currently rely on so that we will focus on the most essential in the most Eco-friendly, Eco-sensible, Ecosystem logical way.(This is the likely scenario due to the level of resisters and deniers of the truth within and without)
Self-healing through logical error correction is the overall direction climate change is moving the body of the Creator towards because it is the process that recalibrates a cell that is used to living under the conditions of sickness (mutation) so that it now understands how to function under healthy conditions and stop trusting mutated logic that, yes, has kept the cell alive but has not allowed that life to thrive.

Non-Confirmation Bias | Definition & Meaning
Unity Consciousness #703

.

Until you have fully confirmed the information your logic is based on, it is a good idea to continue seeking understanding.
Even if you have a degree of confirmation from low to high, it is still a good idea to continue seeking understanding.
Why? Because any change in the information you are relying on could create the need to update current understanding.
I'm certain this is “preaching to the choir” since your reading of this message probably means you are seeking information, thus you are seeking understanding, thus you are being open-minded.

Yet, there are some people who prefer another approach. They seek information for the purpose of non-confirmation.
They would rather not confirm the basis of their logic.
They prefer to simply believe for whatever reasons they choose to believe.
This type of person considers the confirmation of information a hindrance and threat to their self-esteem.
They have a non-confirmation bias.

When the most important part of the information relied on comes from human logic without any ability to confirm it from a non-human source or you have not taken the time to do so or at least review the logic, you have a non-confirmation bias.

A non-confirmation bias causes you to avoid, discard, disregard and fear information that might cause you to have to make adjustments to your logic because most of it is based on belief than information that can be confirmed – at least broadly. It causes you to go on ad hominem attack – even if just privately in your own mind to defend your logic.

Because you function in health in relation to all else, you are designed to understand self in relation to all else – so you can be healthy. This is Ecosystem logic. The logic of harmony, peace and the higher self.

Ecosystem logic can be confirmed by observing, experiencing and studying the Ecosystem within and without. You do not have to rely on another human in order to know how to live in harmony with self and all else.

If you say you already use a natural world context and yet this contexture, this culture does not move you towards health, harmony, your origins and an increasing sense of interrelatedness and interconnectedness, then you have another kind of bias - confirmation bias. This is contrary to your default settings. You have been recalibrated to only see what you want to and only agree with what you already believe or want to believe. On the other hand, non-confirmation bias would rather not see the information at all if there is any sense the information being encountered makes more sense in relation to the observable and experiencable Ecosystem, than currently-held belief.

Lastly, in a strange twist of redoubled logic, there are some who have non-confirmation bias, who think they are confirming their belief each time they apply their non-confirmation bias to information and successfully keep the information from “changing their mind.” Their ability to do this is proof that their belief is strong and therefore must be what it should be. This, of course, is a highly questionable thought process.

Seeking, Doing & Understanding What Is Certain
Unity Consciousness #583

.

In keeping with mirror images, every idea has many ways of expression. Creation is one thing expressed many ways. This is why everything is everything. Each time I become aware of the existence of one of these ways creation is expressed, and then begin to understand it, this spiritual energy of motion refreshes my awareness of other mirror images. If I seek into these mirrors, understandings are enhanced and updated. This helps improve my current level of development based on these new and improved understandings.
However, once I become certain to the point I am no longer seeking into mirrors and finding the semblances and re-semblances of self, I have closed myself off from being my intended best. I have become satisfied where I am and have used a weak and dangerous short-circuited thought process to foolishly conclude my development is okay and good enough to ride out in a routine way for the rest of this lifetime. Most of the information used to reach this decision is based on a narrow field of vision at the Giri So level of awareness and below rather than on the exceedingly more comprehensive vision of awareness that complements, enhances and updates the Giri So.
Based on this perspective, there is certain to be slippage off the guiding light force of destiny present within at birth and away from self (true self and true worth). Thus I will lose degrees of truth and light because I am no longer facing, seeking and moving directly into the sun from which I come. Thus I will lose my way. This is certain. What I will find is the confusion and conundrum of ways of those who have likewise lost their way because their orientation is out of square with Maat due to what they and I have been taught. A major fault in the thought process is for me to conclude that the prevalence and prominence of a way must make it okay. I have left out the necessary considerations of “what level of awareness, what Utamawazo and what Asili is this based on?” Also, who do I think I am, what do I think I am and why do I think I am. These questions must be answered in their highest sense if my thought process is to give me the best conclusions and decisions.

Certainly this is an expanding universe of understanding. The mirror image of my own life tells me this. There is no need to seek further to begin to understand this. Life, from rebirth through rebirths to rebirth, is evidence of the process of expanding understanding. As I have grown in understandings since childhood, the universe has expanded and opened up to me as I increase in understandings and awareness. I am growing into the capabilities and possibilities that were always there, just waiting for me whenever I am ready. As always, there are always capabilities and possibilities waiting for me when I am not ready as well that will move me off my intended course of development. This is certain.
There is always more to understand, even regarding what I already understand.
These understandings show themselves in mirror images at every where, turn, run, comfort zone, hiding place, seeking space and process pace.

My free will is the certainty I control. It is certain I will understand more and more as long as I do not conclude, “giving in to fear (self-doubt) is better, safer, more secure and more intelligent than taking higher elevating and graduating tests necessary to being my best.” Ah yes! Each decision itself is a test. And then there's the process, the thought process and all the rest of those processes that must be completed through self. This is certainly doable, otherwise the opportunities for seeking, doing and understanding would not present themselves. This is certain.

African Anecdote | 2 Jackasses Deny Egypt Is In Africa

This is a true account. Dr. Yosef ben-Jochannan went into the Metropolitan Museum in New York where they have a very fine Egyptian Collection. Dr. Ben was greeted by a young lady at the front desk.
Young Lady: Sir, what can I do for you?
Dr. Ben: I would like to visit the African Collection.
Young Lady: Sir, we do not have an African Collection.
Dr. Ben: I meant to say, Egyptian Collection.
Young Lady: Oh yes! We have an Egyptian Collection but the ancient Egyptians were not African.
Dr. Ben: [pulls out a map and shoves it in the girl's face] Young Lady here's a map of Africa and there's Egypt. Wouldn't you say Egypt was in Africa?
Young Lady: I could say so.
Dr. Ben: Do you say so?
Young Lady: No!
Dr. Ben: Young lady you are a jackass.
Young Lady: [became hysterical and hollered for the manager. The manger came running out.]
Manager: What's the trouble?
Young Lady: Mr. Manager this man just called me a jackass.
Manager: [to Dr. Ben] What's the problem?
Dr. Ben: [tells the manager the story and shows the manager the map] Wouldn't you say Egypt is a part of Africa?
Manager: Well you could say so.
Dr. Ben: Do you?
Manager: No!
Dr. Ben: You're also a jackass.

The young lady and the manager both show signs of poisoning:
1. Mental Illness.
2. False Notions.
3. Closed-mindedness.
4. All information points to human origins in Africa.

Example-Based Definitions | Open-minded, Closed-Minded

Consider these example-based definitions of open-minded and closed-minded.

Open-minded means: Come on in. Stay a while. Sit down. Let's have a conversation. The open-minded entertain ideas and reflect on the experience. They do not make snap judgments. They explore evidence. They invite ideas.

The open-minded understand and acknowledge that their opinions are either substantiated or invalidated by the information and instructions used in their thought processes. The open-minded will adjust as they learn. They will change as much as they need to in order to get to where they are supposed to be. They understand the goal is what can help them grow. Open-mindedness includes the spiritual mind.

The open-minded never make final decisions or draw conclusions. All decisions, no matter how certain at the moment, are ongoing decisions subject to revision.

For the open-minded, their identity is tied to the truth. They fear not knowing the truth from never encountering it or encountering it and not recognizing it. This is why they will investigate ideas they encounter to hone and develop their ability to recognize truth. A different idea is a chance to get better by practicing their recognition skills. They do not recognize truth solely by how the idea feels.

The open-minded tend to be children who have not fallen prey to misconceptions of adulthood. The open-minded also tend to be adults who embrace the child in themselves rather than try to erase or replace it. They understand the essence of childhood supports adulthood. (See “child, children, childhood” this blog)

Closed-minded means: I'm busy. What do you want? I don't want any unsolicited ideas. No, I don't have time. My life is fine. Quit talking crazy and don't come back. The closed-minded shut themselves off from the world of ideas. They do not allow anything different to enter their personal space so there is no chance to meet an idea on its own merits. This limits opportunities and growth.

The closed-minded fight ideas. They usually stick with something because they have for so long. There are other reasons, but “how long something is believed or disbelieved” is a top contributor to closed-mindedness. The closed-minded believe it's about who's right and who's wrong.

The closed-minded barricade themselves inside a mental and emotional house.. They ignore evidence. The closed-minded do not understand or acknowledge facts or other sources of information or other contexts that invalidate their opinions. They believe their audacity trumps veracity. As a result,the closed-minded say one thing and do another because there is no continuous reconciliation process between thoughts and actions because there is no continuous learning, adjusting and self-correcting process.

For the closed-minded, their identity is tied to the idea. A different idea is a threat to their identity and creates an identity crisis, because if they, for one moment, consider another idea or portion of it to be a better choice, insecurity about who they really are rises up to protect them. This is fear in disguise.

The closed-minded tend to be children and adults who think being grown means they can make decisions on their own. In other words, they don't have to listen to anyone, not even their spirit. In other words, they can restrict or shut off the dynamic flow of information and be self-assured it's the best thing for them because they have the right to make their own choices. This comes from the fallacy of individualism in many societies that misinforms people their choices only affect them.

Poetry Included: Right By Default Of My Own

Prose Poem Included

One option is not a choice but it is child proof

Many of the things I believe, I acquired early on. During childhood, my trust in authority figures such as parents, siblings, relatives, tv, schools and churches was at its zenith. Despite a child's tendency to ask more questions, a child is more likely to believe any answer. I did. I rarely went beyond the answer into individual inquiry from alternate sources. My beliefs were based on the beliefs of those I trusted as a child.

It's pretty easy to get a child to believe in Kris Kringle, who should mingle, some form of God, chastising but sparing the rod, Leprechauns, perfect lawns, groundhog shadows, human chattel, Easter Bunnies, bees dying but not from lack of nutritious honey, pots of gold, new better than old, ghosts, accumulating the most, goblins, problems cost too much to solve them, products for beauty, killing as patriotic duty, Cupid, some people born stupid, tooth fairies who chip in, living pretend and only for weekends, soldiers as policemen, getting hitched cheaper than to un-marry, caged canaries, myth, hiding behind the 5th, superstition, woman's work in the kitchen, folklore, food comes from stores, history lessons, science-based mystery guessing, cheese moons, wedding Junes, wishing wells, working hard you'll always prevail, normal is sex sells, businesses fined instead of jail, corporate veils, looking pretty is about, some kind of clout, what's safe to eat, trick or treat, prescriptions good, herbs backwoods, acceptable wrongs, who belongs, age alone makes you grown, which god-given talents are best, just what is success, flat earth, what has worth, politics and businesses aren't part of gangs, beginning from big bang, from an explosion systems came, what sounds different isn't the same and nearly anythang.

By the mere force of first and only, repetition, participation and duplication by others, these beliefs solidify. Borrowed beliefs can become facts hard to crack. My beliefs became restrictive shells shielding me from possibilities. Beliefs should serve as cocoons allowing me to mature into my higher self (my soul's experience with the Creator combined with the best of my human experience). This is the evolution - an individual growing into a fuller oneness.

As I mature into adulthood, I should be able to loosen my grip on beliefs that were simply given to me. I held my caregiver's hand, then wanted to let go, needed to let go. I may yet hold that hand again, but only if it is the best option available, not because it is easiest, quickest, most readily available, familiar and feels safe.

The nature of human maturation is to have say-so in what I believe and not give this say-so over to beliefs first heard. This is called free will. The Creator wants me to have it and use it. The Creator did not design me to automatically accept his teachings and therefore did not design me to automatically accept any human idea or interpretation, no matter how prevalent the notion.

More than a few unexplored ideas could be helpful, even in part or smidgen. Unless I read, study, investigate, compare and contrast these ideas, I could simply be feeling right by default, if what I believe is the only choice I've ever fully considered. As a result, I have never stopped mindlessly doing as I was told because I've never stopped innocently believing as I was told - proof I've never stopped being a child.

Understanding Art


Art is not merely skill or technical ability. Show me someone whose talent is technique and I'll show you clinical creativity, but not art. All creativity is not art. Art emerges from gifts and personal passions. Art is mainly the agility of thought and feeling that remains vibrant through ages despite the art form.

In order to understand art we must become involved beyond looking, hearing or reading. Being open to experience the thoughts and feelings at the heart of art awards us the privilege to receive greater appreciation and awareness. (By the way, open-mindedness is an active state of existence that requires seeking, weighing and trying to understand, not passively waiting and saying, “I'm open-minded. I listen when someone wants to tell me what they believe.”)

The involvement of our mental, spiritual and emotional selves with art leaves room for each individual to have a different experience, thus making art personally relevant and rewarding. This is the agility of art. It causes us to reach, tiptoe or get a stool if we have to. Likewise, it causes us to bend, uncover and discover its nuances.

Understanding is a beautiful thing. To him who engages art and does not wait to be entertained or always expect instantaneous or effortless understanding comes greater treasures, pleasures and insights. This reaffirms the necessity for art to remain individualized in its creation, appreciation and understanding.
