I was almost run over this morning…

The day was beginning very nicely.  Terrific temperature and weather.

I just parked my car and began to walk up the street to work.  I stepped into the intersection and a black SUV pulled up at the same time.  I was about a quarter of the way across the vehicle when it moved again plowing right into me.

I hit the vehicle first with my left palm and then my body.  It was a pretty big shock.  In a split second I was walking calmly and then I was being run over.  I made a pretty big thud on the vehicle.  I suppose that made the driver notice me and stop.  Which I appreciated!!  I pushed off and leaped across the rest of the distance to the other side the whole time looking for the face of the driver.

Because of glare I couldn’t see the driver’s face until I was on his left.  The driver was a man.  He was looking apologetic and as surprised as I was.  I never broke my stride, but I felt my facial expression melt from one of surprise and demanding (an explanation) to one of acceptance.  I nodded at him and kept going.

My reaction and the drivers reaction was all very interesting as it had nothing to do with thinking and logic but everything to do with reflex.

It is at the times when we have no time to think that the truth about ourselves is revealed.

My left palm was reddish from the impact and my emotions were swirling.  But the most conscious part of me was very curious (as always) how and why I handled the situation as I did and how I would handle the situation going forward.

I decided to do EFT (emotional freedom techniques) on this event to clean up the emotional clutter quickly and get some insight about it.

I focused on the accupressure points instead of tapping them since my hand was hurting now.

“I was just about run over!”  That statement registered about a 9 on the 0-10 intensity scale.  But it wasn’t the biggest thing.

“Hey, look where you’re going!”  That was a bigger one!  I cleared that quickly but it had underpinnings.

“Did he do that deliberately?!”  That was deeper and full of resentment and suspicion.  It cleared quickly.

I looked at my hand again and the red was starting to go down.  Anyhow, I imagine tapped on “my hand pain” quickly.  It didn’t go down right away so I continued on.

“I’m embarrassed to have almost been run over.”  That actually was big for me and explained why I kept moving.

But I had also looked for the drivers face pretty intently.  When I saw he was shocked and embarrassed I had felt pity for him.  Why did I feel that so quickly?

I realized that a memory was surfacing.  A long time ago I was pulling away from a stop sign after looking across the road to my left but not my right.  I don’t know how I missed it but a man was crossing in front of me and I just about took him out.  I didn’t hit him but he was sure upset.  “HEY!!” was about what he said.  But then he glared angrily at me as he crossed the remainder.  I remember apologizing but he didn’t accept it.  I felt very bad and embarrassed and to this day I’m a much more alert driver especially at stops.

I also now see that I have some true empathy for people who make that sort of mistake.

Usually, after something like this the event would circle around and around in my mind at least for a day.  But after the EFT I didn’t think of it again until the middle of the day.  I looked at my hand and flexed my wrist.  There was no mark and no pain at all.

I feel that in fact a lot of our injuries from and around situations may come from a hyper stimulation of our body’s emotional/bioenergy system.  It creates a fluctuation which acts as a blockage of normal flow and disease ensues over time or makes healing slow, faulty and/or incomplete.

Sometimes drunk drivers are hardly hurt when careening into other cars.  Their victims are often severely damaged.  Perhaps one variable in this is that the drunk driver is calm and relaxed in semiconsciousness while the wide eyed victims are clearly experiencing their world coming apart in vivid detail and have that emotional/energetic overload I spoke of.

Who knows.

But I was afforded a glimpse of some valuable traits in myself.  Emphathy, forgiveness, and a tendency to suspend judgment until I can get actual facts.  Just as I’ve been trained to be.

Yes, times of crises are useful for seeing into people’s hearts…especially our own.

An exercise in “Mommy, what is that?”

We’ve all heard a child say that, yes?

Consider with me the awesome and questing mind of a child. Have you ever looked closely at their eyes? Wide, eager, trusting. In fact, they do not easily recognize lies and often believe anything anyone tells them.

Notice how their tiny hands grasps yours and shakes you. They’re curiosity is oh so tangible, its hungry, its joyful. But these gestures bespeak so much more. It’s warmth and love and trust. It’s a fundamental belief that you have only their best interests at heart. That what you tell them is the simple truth out of love from your heart.

Children have an inborn belief that there is a source of truth in the form of people who have their best interests at heart.

This can be said to be their earliest “software” programming. It is also evident that it was not learned. They came equipped with it.  This is a profound reality and our grasp of it helps us to know where and how to search for truth.

Not to be ignored too is how you are so deeply moved by them. Do you feel loved, needed, smart, wise, strong, humbled? Do you feel a deep sense of responsibility to teach truth, joy and love from your heart? Do you find yourself looking at the world with new wonder right along with them? Do they bring up questions that you’d long forgotten and never had answered?

These beautiful and most natural learning states created in both the one learning and the one who would teach are natural and embedded in us. They support a child’s need and readiness to build models or understandings of the universe and everything in it right inside their minds. In exercising these states we humans tend to attract truth from kind-hearted people. We tend to lift the spirits of those we connect with.

This mindset is what I sometimes like to call the “naive mind”. Not that it knows nothing or has absolutely no discernment. But in the way that it appears to be original software of our thinking existence. If we were a PC it is our inbuilt operating system. Therefore, it is the closest state of mind without spot from infectious beliefs which go against it’s grain.

From the source of truth we fully expect and thirst to know about this wonderful existence. We have the capacity to feel awe and delight at what we find. All other knowledge begins to be built on this beginner software and all beliefs and references can be traced all the way back here.

So…the best software are concepts and beliefs that support this inborn “naive” belief system and work with it, not against it.

This is the trust that there is a source of truth which loves us and has our best interests at heart, that is greater than us and authoritative in nature and which has the ability to direct us safely through an awesomely expansive world. We expect it to come from a parent type source.

Cultivating this “naive” mindset doesn’t cause us to believe everything everyone tells us, but makes us operate from a belief that there is a source of truth out there which doesn’t lie and does have a pure love for us.

Right away we need to contrast this fundamental expectation/belief of a parent source by mentioning a certain family of opposing doctrine. That doctrine says that the source of our deepest truth and guiding light really comes, not from an outside source, but from within us. Many intelligent people hold these religious and/or philosophical doctrines and they are deeply interwoven in their thoughts and traditions. As such and in all such cases, I do not mean to offend or attack any reader personally. Just bear with me if you will. I do feel that no matter what you hold to be true and what I hold to be true we humans have many more similarities than differences. I believe as probably most who would read this far do, that when love is the motivating factor all things will be made clear at some point and all wounds made from wrong beliefs will be completely healed.

Let us look again at the model of a young child mind. Children are dependent on adults for survival and education. Only at a certain point in their development could they even conceive that they could be successfully self directed beings. No, the guidance that children seek is not from themselves. They are expecting to find it outside of themselves. When they do seek it in themselves they are usually getting into trouble and many times beginning a life long pattern of pride and inability to work well in groups. The doctrine that we are our own best guiding light and source of deepest truth is only deeply accepted after we mature a bit in cognitive thinking and have installed numerous learned beliefs that effectively alter our perceptions enough to accept this greatly divergent global belief.

So what do we learn from this meditation? How should we seek truth? A child asks and expects truth. To search for truth as a child does then we must keep asking, we must keep seeking and we must expect to find truth which can be fully tested without collapsing into complex and conflicting ideas or philosophies which discourage further search by telling you you’ve found truth, but doesn’t give you a model which is universally useful. Never let a teaching get lodged in you that breaks this thirst for guidance and truth down (either by giving up or by looking where it cannot be found which is also giving up.)

Another belief that breaks down our search for truth with a child’s mind is the doctrine that any guiding truth for humans is mostly subjective, meaning few and perhaps no one truth apply to all humans. That is essentially the same as saying there are no truths or fixed landmarks and that we all make our own truths. That belief excepts no sovereign control or guide except itself. This is a completely unworkable model in human earth society as it ignores the fact that we all live in community with each other, effect each other dramatically every day, literally need each other for survival and that this species/community of humans is located in a closed and finite environment. It simply doesn’t work in real world application and if you look around and are honest you will likely agree that the forces that be (human government) do not actually allow its real world application anywhere on Earth.  We are however encouraged to hold that illusion.

Make no mistake, with no real and fixed reference points (truth) we are all ships coming into a night harbor without any lighthouses for guidance. Or worse yet, awaiting us are pirate fires that have been lit to draw us off course and onto the rocks for pillage.

Knowing that you best search for truth in a certain way (expectant, persistent) and that you will find it in a certain place (parent source) is vital. But it isn’t all we need. Knowing that your original nature is that of a child seeking a parent’s guidance can put you on guard against the most insidious liars.

If a person was trying to lure a child what does that person do? That person poses as a loving, kind and trustworthy source. The next step is to separate the child from the parent (physically, mentally, emotionally, morally and spiritually) so as to catch the child in a state which they can take advantage of them.

In applying this to our search for truth I find that many religions and religious teachers, many philosophies and philosophers, as well as many worshiped deities and just friendly voices of the non-material realm teach and preach altruistic beliefs in a kind way. But they promote beliefs which lead away from the proper development and use of one’s thinking faculties and the discovery of vital and consistent truths which do not oppose each other. This blunts our ability to hold a sound reasoning mind which supports an awareness and fine control of our own mental and emotional states and belief processes. These beliefs also under perform in that they are not backed up by “parental” leadership and enforcement. The voices seldom have a system to enforce the parts of their own principles that preach and teach heartfelt altruism and have “outs” that explain away this failing and sometimes even present it as a success.

These ideas and the lack of a way for true encouragement through reward and enforcement encourages unilateral action. Even the idea of obeying a sovereign force is resisted extensively by all nations and most individuals now. The “everyone do his or her own thing” attitude is so prevalent a doctrine nowadays that there is no way no organize the vast resources available to humanity. In so many ways they clash, fall and fail miserably in caring for the things they are supposed to.

Take for instance, any disaster situation such as a flood, hurricane, earthquake and such. Watch the multitudes of organizations trip all over each other as they try to apply their altruistic measures. The spirit of love is there in name and truly there in the hearts of individuals but chaos reigns supreme as no one is equipped to obey a sovereign “parent” entity. And so the victims die for lack of being cared for in time, resources are mismanaged, food rots in storehouses…and those looking on are left to ask “why can’t we seem to do better for these poor victims?” and from frustration and embarrassment they engage in finger pointing. But this can be viewed also as simply symptoms of faulty beliefs. The belief systems that originated these structures of self government are powerless to effect any real change and deal in real love. They may be full of well meaning people, not evil, but their limiting beliefs thwart human effort toward improvement.

So it is not enough just to develop and hold the naive mind. We must also understand the situation in which we are in. We came expecting a loving parent. We do not readily find one. Is there really an invisible enemy causing this trouble? Or are we just that inept? If there is an undetected enemy how can we protect ourselves? But the biggest question in this whole article is probably the one few wish me to pose: what is the “parent source” humanity expected to learn from and be guided by when entering this world?

With the correct mindset one is able to courageously and clearly ask these questions. One is able to respect people’s points of view. One is able to keep in mind that our map of the world in our own minds effects everything we think, say and do. We need to be aware, cautious, flexible and logical. This is the way of love.

What is an Anchored Intuitive Cognitor? Part 3

Homo Sapien.  The “wise” or “thinking” person. The “thinker”. That is how Carl Linnaeus defined humans in 1758 in order to distinguish our species from others on planet Earth.  Yes, among the greatest things that set us so far apart from the other species on this planet in which we live are our highly extensive cognitive abilities.

We realize we use only a portion of our brains, but why are we not alarmed at this? Why do we not take massive and sustained action developing the rest?

Human cognition is an invaluable tool in searching for truth and building models of the world around us. Since cognition can mean various things depending on the usage let me give you some of my favorite definitions:

• the process of perceiving, thinking, reasoning and analyzing.
  www.chop.edu/consumer/jsp/division/generic.jsp
• High-level functions carried out by the human brain, including comprehension and use of speech, visual perceptions and construction, calculation ability, attention (information processing), memory, and executive functions such as planning, problem-solving and self-monitoring.
  www.epgpatientdirect.org/page.cfm/page/83/title/Glossary
• Conscious mental activity that informs a person about his or her environment. Cognitive actions include perceiving, thinking, reasoning, judging, problem solving, and remembering.
  science-education.nih.gov/supplements/nih5/Mental/other/glossary.htm
• The process or processes by which an organism gains knowledge or becomes aware of events or objects in its environment and uses that knowledge for comprehension and problem-solving.
  www.fitbrains.com/science/more/glossary.php

You have no doubt heard the saying that we use less than 10% of our brain or some similar figure. Of course, we wonder who figured this out and how did they do it. But nevertheless, it is easy to believe that we are underdeveloped as cognitors.  In fact, in my research this underdevelopment in humanity is so profoundly gross that I’ve gone on a search for why this is so.  The research is frightening and astounding at the same time. Once again, over thousands of years it appears that in a structured way humanity has been kept from developing higher cognitive powers. Perhaps in some post I’ll get into this, but just know that I believe that humanity as a species has mortal enemies in the realm of non-material beings. That is quite a statement to drop on you and then not get into. But let me get into what has been done so that you can begin to see how you can protect yourself from it and go on a search to develop your cognitive powers to ever greater heights.

First of all, our cognitive potential is built on our health. This is under active attack by invisible and visible forces. Secondly, for both cognitive development and processing we need time and to be in the right state of mindbody.  Namely, we need to be clear, calm and focused.  Our time is eaten up by useless pursuits so enumerable it boggles the mind and that damage our ability to be clear, calm and focused.  Our mindbody individually and in communities are in ever increasing stress.

Really you can see that the first and second points are closely tied together. This third one is a key way that the other two have been and continue to be accomplished. It is therefore far more vital to give attention to this point then it is to eat better or any other one factor.

We are kept from understanding and realizing our potential by structured programming of insidious beliefs.

Here are just three examples:

• Earth is simply a proving ground, testing for heaven, or a way to develop or clarify our souls for another life
• “Spirit” existence is more fundamental and more real than physical life which is so transitory
• Life on Earth evolved

This is the type of thinking that springs from these beliefs:

“My life on Earth is a very temporary type of existence as a physical individual so I am a stripped down vehicle by which my true spiritual being is able to express itself. This true spiritual being is the source of all things that separate me from the animal kingdom otherwise I would essentially be no different. Also, developing powers and abilities that belong to this life are not necessarily vital in improving my true and essential existence and my quest to become a better being. Logic and other cognitive abilities are of only so much use in the “spirit” realm. “Over thinking” so often gets in the way of true enlightenment. There isn’t much potential beyond what I can already do anyhow.  Logically I don’t believe this but subconsciously I do. If there is a way to tap my physical cognitive potential I’ll entrust this to modern scientific and medical communities. It will take a long time to develop and too much effort and in view of the above reasonings there isn’t really a point and it may impede my progress.  Human beings will probably have to modify our bodies in some unnatural way to be able to have certain powers. Evidently only a few people – odd cases, probably evolution mutations or disease accidents such as savants – can do these things. And evolution has given our physical bodies only what we need through the mechanisms of “natural selection” and “survival of the fittest”.”

So that is what a person who believes that way are limited.

Please consider how you felt when reading my last few paragraphs. Many people will have closed their minds or gotten riled up big time. Why?

Consider this: these teachings are trusted in fully and used to build our inner models that explain huge parts of our reality such as the purpose of human life and the very structure of our society and even what happens to our dear loved ones when they die. So these and other beliefs have massive emotional investments attached and are so deeply conditioned in for many who hold them that any balanced logical analysis of them is very difficult if not impossible.

This is so shocking because everything we think, believe and do is tied to our “global” beliefs no matter how deeply they are felt or not felt, how often they are consciously referred to, no matter how spiritual or nonspiritual you are and no matter how religious or nonreligious you are.

Everything we think, believe and do is profoundly controlled by our global beliefs.

Some of our erroneous beliefs are not completely without merit but each have been explained and presented in such a careful and skillful way (woven into universal truths producing a Trojan horse effect) that the majority of people will never even conceive of their true nature as humans much less pursue developing cognitive potential. What cognitive potential are we talking about?

Did you know that the average person can quickly develop the abilities to: (some of these points in hours others months)

• Read as fast as they can flip pages in a book and actually remember near 100%? (Limits on speed are currently unknown.)
• Do extensive mental math with ease, joy and incredible speed?
• Remember everything they wish the first time they handle that data and never forget it unless they wish?
• Recover memories from the past and fix them into reflex memory (very easy to access going forward)
• At will get into states of joy, love, compassion, passion, bliss, goodness, mildness, wisdom, curiosity and other states of power…and LIVE there
• Understand the messages of “negative” emotions, control their intensity, eliminate their negative impact on your health and use them to guide you into empowering action, firmer states of power and improved situations
• (Higher/Global Skill which takes more time to develop) Quickly absorb massive amounts of information with full mental control, sift and analyze it all mentally and discover otherwise unknowable patterns in the data
• Sense, learn with and use both sides of all of your body parts with equal ease and skill
• Read and write upside-down sideways and any other direction with ease
• (Basic Skill) Fully and accurately understand without mysticism the essential basics of human, God, and universe and their interrelationships

When speaking of cognition as logical thinking its quality can be measured in at least these three categories:

• Discernment: is the ability of telling one thing apart from others and knowing how they are different and how they are the same.

• Understanding: is the ability to grasp the connectivity between the parts and how those parts fit into the greater whole.

• Wisdom: is the ability to put knowledge, discernment and understanding to work in practical and real world ways.

Picture all of the different parts of a large ship laying out.  This can be likened to knowledge.  One person walks by and observes and studies these different parts and sees how they are similar and contrasting to each other.  Another person begins to understand how some of these pieces fit together and probably work with each other.  Along comes a master builder.  This ship builder takes those parts, puts them together in just the right way and at just the right time.  During construction some big design and supply problems come up.  Personnel problems occur.  Weather problems occur.  But wisdom is applied to each situation and a working seaworthy ship is finally created.

So, in conclusion, a person exercising the Anchored Intuitive Cognitor mindset and values will…

• Above all: value, cling to, search for and live by truth
• Develop ways to recognize truth and truth tellers
• Acknowledge the existence and mortal danger of lies and liars
• Identify strategies for identifying and protecting against lies and liars
• Acknowledges the benefits and possible pitfalls of intuition
• Develop cognitive human inheritance

…and will be able to excel in anything they focus on and develop ever sharpening skills of discernment, understanding and the prime thing: wisdom.  To the extent that I’ve personally applied this mindset I’ve become ever sharper, flexible and progressive.

Well, it took awhile but that is what I meant by being an Anchored Intuitive Cognitor.

P.S. – In the next blog article I’ll explore how young children give evidence of the existence of truth.

What is an Anchored Intuitive Cognitor? Part 2

Intuition is our faculty of communication between our conscious mind and our transconsciousness.

In my studies and experiences I’ve found that who we are as individuals is not accurately defined in anatomy and psychiatric manuals. For instance, our brains may generate memory by forming certain connection groups.  This concept differs from the paradigm that memory is located in our brains.  In fact, our entire physical body is involved in forming and holding these connections.  In essence, we think, believe, learn and remember with our entire bodies.

What controls all of this?  Our brain?  That is a mathematical impossibility.

Apparently, our whole person is not even confined to our entire physical organism.  It has been shown that around our cells, organs and body are fields of energy/information.  These may be controlling factors and work in a loop.  The physical us exists because of these energetic fields and these energetic fields exist because of the physical us.

Beyond even this we now realize that the fields that are us intersect with other fields to such an extent that we are literally embedded or woven if you will into this universe.

There are strong indications that our transconsciousness is fully aware of the galaxy of matter/energy/information that is us. It also seems to be able to share information with other fields that we are in contact with.

So on a deep level we really are are embedded in a matrix of universal connectivity. Like the thoughts and understandings mentioned in the last article everything is connected and affects everything else.

The universe was impacted by your arrival and by your continued existence.

Now, focus again on the concept that we are embedded in a sort of cosmic internet if you will.

The transconsciousness (after the above description you understand why I tend toss out the weak term “subconscious”) acts as a buffer for all of this information within and outside us and apparently transmits small parts of the information in a data stream to our conscious minds in a way that we can begin to relate too.

The language that we receive and process this data in is our channels of hearing, smelling, sight, touch, taste and knowing.

Our ability to use this stream of data from the transconsciousness is called intuition.

Everyone has intuition but it’s like meeting a person who doesn’t speak your language and you have no interpreter. Most people – me included – have to really work at building understanding between the two. “Intuitive people” are simply people who took note of this information source whether consciously or less than consciously and began to build an understanding or language between themselves and their transconsciousness.

Those that are less aware of this information source don’t work to understand all the data flowing from it. They eventually perceive it as background static. Its like street noise. If you live in a city for very long you tend to really not consciously hear all of those noises anymore. When undeveloped the transconciousness works intuition with less purpose. Thus it is even less noticeable and more random. In a way it feels like part of us is dreaming.

As an example of this background noise/energy all around us go into a room that is almost fully dark.  What are your eyes seeing?  You probably wondered, asked or even became fearful of what you were seeing as a child.  Later you tuned it out and seldom ever notice it before drifting off to sleep.  This is some of the information/energy around us.  It is subtle but we can easily tune in to it at least and prove it to ourselves.  And no, they aren’t floaters.  Just imagine feel more peaceful or loving or thankful or angry.  Notice what happens to them.  Or if you think your sight is changing because of your emotion then try this: literally imagine stirring up the energy.  Make it swirl in one direction or the other.  Be patient.  Soon you’ll see it is real.  You aren’t imagining it, your imagination is affecting it.    Is that cool or what?

But how does all of this fit in with being anchored?  Well, who we are as humans seems to overlap and connect with other aspects of the universe.  If we are woven into the very fabric of this universe I feel the need to factor this concept it into every principle/law I consider.  I must pay it due respect.

In exploring the teachings of field which is connected to intuition I have found many “anomalies” which could explain otherwise unexplainable things among human beings.

Manipulating beliefs for selfish or malevolent ends is called “lying”. Lies are truth distorters and never originate in true love.

I’m always interested in how people come by their perceptions and develop their beliefs.  In my studies I believe that there is much basis for a model that sees many long term beliefs flowing and being manipulated carefully by a conscious control over thousands of years.  This model explains very much without complicated and/or mystic thought.

I have come to realize that this type of thing has been done and is being done by even humans on short term basis for selfish (love lacking) reasons.  You probably could put me to sleep reciting a list of times when humans have malevolently manipulated the perceptions and beliefs of others for their own ends.  This being done over thousands of years in a controlled and structured fashion across all land, language and cultural barriers of humanity is unexplainable by human thought…until we factor in consciousness/energy/connectivity/intuition.

The information from intuition is like an ocean, very useful and yet never turn your back on it.

If there are beings who lack love among humans why could there not be beings who lack love but are non-material?  If there is organized crime or efforts to control and hurt others among humans why not among non-material beings?

Without jumping to conclusions I keep this in mind in the search for truth.  Intuition is both a skill that I develop and treasure and a source of information which I carefully, cautiously and always test.

What is an Anchored Intuitive Cognitor? Part 1

When I was on Twitter I had referred to myself in the subject line as a Anchored Intuitive Cognitor.  People began to ask about what that meant.  I eventually wrote these articles to explain what I mean…

From as far back as I can recall I’ve always unwound things to their most basic parts and tried to find out how all those parts relate to the whole and how that whole fits into everything else. I mean everything else. To many of my friends this is a bit of an annoyance and I have been extreme at times.

Early in life, physics became an exciting science for me. Of course, like all of you I was a physicist from infancy. What is that? How does it work? Why is the sky blue? Why does it get other colors? Why is the grass green? Where does food go when I eat it and why does it come out all nasty? Yeah, we were naturally honest, right?

Like you, I was born a physicist.

Our progressive programming and training by the world around us beats this baby physicist out of most of us. But there is always a little left in everyone I meet. With me, however, it only got more intense.

Quantum physics is especially exciting! To be able to go further in breaking down everything into even smaller parts.  To be able to potentially see more of the “big picture” more clearly.

Yes, physics is basically the study of everything physical. And everything is physical. Even the metaphorical and the spiritual. At least from a certain standpoint.

Well, I quickly adopted the belief that my understandings are always going to be changing as I learn. This is because anything affects everything. And I’m constantly learning more about it.

On this quest I found that understandings would many times get less accurate instead of improve!

That was a huge insight. Like you, I don’t want to be using faulty understandings in my path through life. So how could I make sure that my understandings improve instead of degrade?

I began to realize that the consequences of the fact that everything in this universe is related to everything else.

Nothing in this universe EVER really contradicts anything else.

That is wonderful news! How so? Because when you find something that doesn’t fit you can know that you are using a faulty paradigm (a mental model of whatever you are trying to understand) or you aren’t perceiving it correctly…

…and so you are heading for a breakthrough into new understanding!

But what I really found useful are certain aspects of the “everything” that do not change. These are the laws and principles of the universe. There are physical laws (i.e. gravity), spiritual laws, moral laws…these are stable landmarks by which we can build understandings on.

You will most likely agree that humans are not primarily instinct driven. We are information creatures. Just as a bird might need to see the stars and feel the lines of magnetic force so that it can successfully navigate a human needs to understand these laws or principles to safely navigate in this universe.

You can also call them truth. And in the ever moving, always changing universe these are what I use as my…

Anchors.

Let me illustrate:

As a species we believed that the earth was flat. Then we collectively began to understand a truth. The earth is “round”! This put us on the trail of many more truths.  In the meantime our minds were unlocked to new possibilities.  Voyages were made around the Earth and the Earth was more clearly grasped as a finite place.

Knowing where the boundaries of Earth were we were finally able to study beyond it with clearer sight.  Eventually, we were able to put satellites in space and eventually develop a network of satellites by which incredibly accurate navigation is possible!

Let’s take this GPS satellite network and make another illustration.

Think of each item of truth as one of these satellites. Together one truth helps us see things that we wouldn’t have otherwise perceived. But as we grasp more and more and more of these “satellites of truth” we begin to see sharper and navigate with ever more wisdom and accuracy.

Now, lets consider birds again.  How vital is it that they be able to accurately sense those lines of force?  How vital is it that they see the sun and the stars clearly?  If they couldn’t their very existence as a species would be at risk.  Do you agree?

Well, we humans don’t make our life decisions based off of magnetic fields.  We navigate our life decisions by means of our personal beliefs and understandings. We then use these individual “maps” to guide our thinking and actions.  We built these after receiving information through our senses, filtering them through our perceptions, and then consciously or unconsciously deciding what the truth about certain things are.

Do you see how critical having a clear concept of “truth” is to you as a person and to humanity as a species?

Truths are the north stars of our universe.

If life is a journey and our understandings of truths are our compass and maps then conversely our misunderstanding of these truths can lead to the loss of wealth, time and life.

I know one thing, human life here on Earth is currently brief.  So I always find myself beginning with the basic truths, returning to them, updating them and sharing them.  They are absolutely vital to leading productive, happy and full lives.

So that examines the “anchor” part of Anchored Intuitive Cognitor.  The next articles go on with the rest.

AIC – Twitter Definition

I’ve gotten plenty of great feedback so far on my blog. A few, though, have asked, ‘can you nutshell it for me’.

So here is the twitter 140 or less definition – “what is an Anchored Intuitive Cognitor?”

“Seeker & lover of laws/principles/truth, fights the doctrines “we know!” & “we never will know!” A label to nurture and aspire to.”

Here is another attempt…

“An Anchored Intuitive Cognitor is an investigator & a champion of the existence & priceless value of truth!”

One more…

“A mindset, way of being, state of mind…to seek underlying principles in all things, clear away errant ideas and build from there.”

You may agree that love is the most powerful universal constant and most powerful truth. Be love today! If you adopt the mindset that you are love it comes out with a more joyful ease. May your peace flow just like a river and your love like the waves of the sea.

Welcome to a Blog on Truth

Truth is like mathematics.  One plus one always equals two every time. The best math is as simple as possible.

From simple we build on up and thereby become able to do much more.  Subtraction, multiplication, division, integers, fractions, decimals, algebra, etc.

The simple things are always relevant. And if we can clearly grasp a few simple truths we can unlock more complicated truths. Here is where the problem lies. The simplest truths are foggy to the world at large…

We live in a world where “truth” is becoming more and more a subjective concept.  It is becoming more confusing and self based and “absolute” truth is now a taboo concept for many…

In this world something alarming is happening…

Each day right is ever more muddled with wrong

Wrong is ever more confused with right

Night is breaking into day and day is mixing with night

…we have to just stop and sit down for a good long moment and say…

“Hey wait a second! Where are we going with this? What gives!…”

“…and just what is ‘truth?!’”

So what I hope you will find here is a respite from the information overload.  I hope you find a place to think deeply on a few important concepts.  I hope you find an air of respect for individuals and our ideas but also a deeper understanding of what is happening to us as a race and how we can protect ourselves.  With each truth we discover we are empowered to see clearer and do more for each other without harming one another or the universe which we are connected to.

Again: WELCOME! And ENJOY!
