Each time we hear, “being safe,” or “Safety,” the context is usually “safety,” from the world of illusion from Illusion-based thinking, into Reality-based thinking. It’s interesting how whether it’s religion or spirituality; whether it’s philosophy, or metaphysics, or sciences, there is a crossroad among all these five systems of thoughts, and this crossroad is the Truth, Reality, the Constant, and the One.
What is that Truth, Reality, One, that is shared by all five major systems? The Neuroscience based concept is Reality-Based Thinking. According to Neuroscience, we do not see, hear, or feel what we think we see, hear, or feel [1]. We do not perceive the way we think we do. The object of our perception is not as objective as we may want to believe. Rather, it is subjective at best, and that is not all. According to Neuroscience, we do not live in an outside-in world, as we think we do. Rather, we live in an inside-out world, though we barely realize it.
While it may be common knowledge by now that we live in a subjective world, the collective understanding of what that really means is limited. Yes, it is all a subjective world, which makes the “truth,” or “reality,” subjective. But that “truth,” or “reality,” that we call subjective is just that, “truth,” with a lower-case “t,” reality with a lower-case “r,” as opposed to “Truth,” or “Reality,” with an upper case “T” and “R” respectively.
Let’s start by contrasting “reality,” with “Reality”:
- In “reality,” “I wake up today on the wrong side of the bed.” In “Reality,” There is no such thing as right or wrong; only our thinking makes it so.
- In “reality,” “I feel like this is going to be a bad day.” In “Reality,” “Our feeling is simply the indicator for what we’re thinking about. We’re always one thought away and we get to choose a new thought whenever we want to.
- In “reality,” “I went to bed tired and woke up tired. I have no idea what’s going on with me.” In “Reality,” “What’s going on is that you went to bed with a life impeding thought, which you have processed during your sleep, making it more significant to your brain; which then continued in the morning upon waking up.
- In “reality,” “Everything I try today is just not working out.” In “Reality,” “Working out is a judgment based on what’s good and what’s bad. You get to choose your outcomes, your results, or what you want. You do that through the Fundamental of Thought, and through the Fundamental of Consciousness, which is the Operant Factor, and the Decisional Factor, respectively, for the Fundamental of Mind. If your day is going in any way other than what you thought you were choosing, it is simply feedback to you that you are operating in a way that is impeding what you thought you were choosing [2]. All you do then is to remember that you are always one thought away; and then choose a conscious thought that will promote instead of impeding your desired outcomes.
Are you safe? You are designed to be safe. No one or no thing [3] can ever interfere with your safety other than yourself. You interfere with your safety without you knowing that you do. In fact, 97% of the time you do so, you are not even aware that you do. This means the next best step for you to stop interfering is to raise your level of awareness, your level of consciousness, which is your Decisional Factor.
Are you ready?
