Truth and the human mind: how do they influence our beliefs?

We start from the error that consists of believing that "I am my thoughts". Convince your mind of something and that will be its truth. If we start from such a badly wrong base, what we add to it only adds to the confusion. All of this is based on the paradigms established throughout the world. We are saturated with messages that keep us believing that we are what we think, what we say or what we do. And so it goes.

Without a doubt, it is important to observe that the current consumer reality in which we live is based on convincing ourselves that this is the case and we buy their products to improve our lives.

Beliefs, truth and the human mind

Mythical phrases such as that of the friend René Descartes: «I think therefore I am», whose literal and original translation is more similar to «I think, therefore I am» shows us how, if we continue living with certain beliefs (which are taken for granted), our life can be nothing more than a true and harmful chaos. So, depending on the philosophy, religion or source where you investigate, you will find diverse and curious answers. And you know what? You can be sure that it is.

The only thing that matters is what your mind believes. As I was telling you, your brain is a rebel that doesn't care how many tests or people say something, because he will only focus on one thing: "what I believe is the true truth of truths true”. This may seem exaggerated or ridiculous to you, but do you know someone who has fought or killed another person for thinking differently? Have you ever seen followers of any sport attack or fight with others because they believe that their truth is good? Have you observed that individuals, because they have different creeds, get confused, think that their religion is better and unique, and go to war to defend the supposed belief?

There are millions of examples about the madness of believing that your way of thinking is the only valid one. The mind is an extremely powerful tool, and as such, it is essential to be aware of it and use it responsibly. It doesn't matter what you tell yourself because all beliefs are lies. Ideas about beliefs are nothing more than formulations that at a certain moment we install in our modus vivendi.

And we develop this in the complete series of 7 books, “Open your eyes”. From my own experience, right now, you can have a conception about something, and in a minute change it in front of something that has not changed in its essence.

The reality of our realities

Imagine a person who goes on the bus to her work in the morning like every day, with a smile on her face because it is a means of transportation that she loves, He finds it cheap and adapted to his needs, he suffers a brutal traffic accident where many people die and he remains very serious in the hospital for months. Do you think he will maintain his opinion that the bus is a great means of transport, cheap, practical and safe? It is possible, but unlikely. The most logical thing would be for your new idea to be: "The bus is a terrible place where I never want to be again, or it is very dangerous or any method of transportation is safer." All these premises are as true or false as the initial one.

So what today is white or good, tomorrow can be black or bad; What makes you happy now could be sad tomorrow.. You know that we live in a polar world and that to think that what you think is an absolute, deep and immeasurable certainty is like the rest of beliefs, a half-truth, or a half-lie, or simply something on which you cannot establish a fixed foundation of life because in a In the near future, perhaps these will move, change completely and the most useful thing for you is to adapt to the foreseeable change that, for example: "I am in love with my partner, I love her and I want to always be with her" (belief 1) or that "I am not in love with my partner, I don't love her and I want to be alone” (belief 2).

Perhaps you have experienced the catastrophe of having given this belief as irrefutable, which, like all beliefs, has varied. But the best thing about this great damage is that it was predictable, avoidable and, in many cases expendable, if you had done your homework before.
