I had a conversation today that made me think about this with
someone. And we talked about mainstream movies and the items that are in
it, and an item came up and this person said, I can't believe that
that's on these movies and it's all over the TV it's in our face all the
time, and I really, I really think it's wrong and you could tell they
had a very strong feeling. They had very strong concrete beliefs about
the subject matter.
And I agreed. But I also know that when someone has those strong
feelings about something not taking away from their if it's truthful or
not. But when you have that strong of a feeling, a red flag should come
up, and you should say to yourself, okay.
I'm not denying my feelings and my take my feelings are wrong or
right. But when my feelings are this strong I need to investigate
further and find out why and where it came from.
I have seen things. When I was a child that were just not talked
about. And today, they're all over. Mainstream Media openly talked about
things. When I was a child that just were not talked about, and now
they're everywhere. And I'm not saying it's wrong.
The problem with beliefs, when you're have a hold a belief or a
perspective that is so strong, and there's no problem having that, but
you need to know where that perspective where that idea came from.
You need to do some self scrutiny. Look back into your past. Where
did you learn that this item was wrong, or why you feel so strongly that
it's not correct. Were you taught it in school. Were you taught it by
your parents. Were you taught it by mainstream media. Were you taught it
by the church, where did it come from and why so strong. And then once
you've resolved that fact.
The next. And probably the most important part of this research is to
understand. Do you operate with this feeling on an unbiased and not on
an autopilot mode.
In other words, we've talked about this in other articles. We have a
tendency, as, as human beings to operate an autopilot mode. A lot of our
time. In other words, just going along with what we've been taught and
we've always known for our whole life never questioning it never looking
into it, just operating on autopilot mode.
So, when you're operating with really really strong feelings. Are you
just doing it at autopilot mode and not thinking about it because
that's what I was taught. That's what I was told. And then if you are,
who taught it. Who told you. Is there alternatives. Do my feelings
really have to be this strong about it. Once again, I'm not advocating
if you have strong feelings that they may be that they're wrong, they
very well may be based in very concrete in reasons.
But when you have strong feelings about something. Make sure you're
not just operating autopilot mode, and those feelings are truly yours
from your mind from your thoughts. Not for what what someone has taught
you or told you, just because they told you the earth is flat, doesn't
make it flat. Good example.
Always question everything. And if you find yourself, well that was
an autopilot type mode. Well now make your own decision on what you
think do you think it's right or wrong. You've got a mind. I've said it
before use it. Don't allow others to make up your mind for you, or the
mainstream media or the internet or religion, or school, you make up
your mind, you've been given a wonderful mind, use it, turn off the
autopilot.
That's really what I wanted to talk about with with beliefs and
perspectives and views. When you find something that you're very adamant
about, and we all are. This part of being human, understand where it
came from.
That's the hardest part is to remember where did I get this feeling
from. And then even more importantly, understand that you're not working
at autopilot mode.
Thank you.
