Welcome back!

Lucky?

I received a Comment yesterday saying that the individual disagreed with me and for me to contact him or her to argue the point.  I wanted you all to know that due to my last 30 years of effort, education, and experience, I don’t care to qualify my understanding to anyone.

This presents an opportunity to explain something about understanding and belief to you.  A belief is an unproven fact.  It is frequently the child of fear.  It is like the old wives tales we’ve all heard about all our lives.  The way beliefs get born and propagated is this:  someone who has fear going, comes to a conclusion about something.  They decide that their conclusion is an absolute fact.  They tell others about this ‘absolute fact’ and the others accept it at face value without investigating to see if it’s really true or not.  These supposedly absolute facts get passed along from generation to generation as the Truth. It has created a very shaky foundation for the world as a whole. In my opinion, all of these beliefs need to be cleaned up. You cannot accomplish spiritual healing with these in your mind.

What are some of these absolute facts?

• An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
• Butter on a burn will heal it.
• Cranberry juice cures urinary tract infections.
• Four leaf clovers bring good luck.
• Eating carrots improves your eyesight.
• Evil things happen on Friday the 13th.
• Starve a cold; feed a fever.
• Long lasting morning sickness during pregnancy means the baby is a girl.
• Spicy food causes ulcers.
• Swimming immediately after eating causes cramps.
• You must drink 8 glasses of water a day.
• Toads give you warts.
• Food makes you fat.

Okay, enough.  Not one of the above ‘absolute facts’ has any truth in it at all.  Every one is a belief.

Our lives are filled with hundreds of things-believed-in that are not true.  When you do the work of reasoning (which I have done) then you’ll automatically know what is true (actual understanding) or what is not true (belief.)  And this dear friends, is why I don’t have to argue for the truth with any whippersnapper who thinks I should.  Pish tush!

Love,

Pat
