Perspective

In the last post I mentioned the need to describe the surface of an idea and begin to dive deeper. But this does not prevent me from diving to the deepest points and jumping between the surface and the depths from one post to the next. The body of water is not a perfect metaphor for mapping out the knowledge I try to share because there is a time dimension involved. Where is the now and where is the future? The body of water whose depths are ultimately unknowable is a good metaphor for truth in general. But perhaps we can imagine ourselves as a surfer riding a wave upon the ripples of an impact point where we each have some influence. When I describe the hope of a better future I am observing the direction toward which the wave is carrying us.

One aspect of what I do is to describe the future. This is valuable for people who are trying to participate. By better knowing the future you can prepare and position yourself to better actualize your goals. But another aspect of what I do is to describe where we are right now. The reason it is important to describe where we are right now is to help people who are limited and combat those who are making people more limited. An important third aspect of what I do is to dive deep into the knowledge to explain the truth underneath the surface which is shaping the waves we ride. This aspect allows me to attract the attention of a diversity of generally curious people interested in expanding their knowledge of tangible things.

The remainder of this post is dedicated to describing the psychology of where we are right now. Perspective is an interpretation of the world we are intertwined with. Some people have a more accurate understanding of reality because they have refined their perspective more than others. One barrier for people to learn a more accurate perspective is based in the fundamental assumptions we have accepted. Another name for these fundamental assumptions we have accepted are beliefs. Another barrier is a lack of self control determined by the habits and routines we have incorporated into our lives. These habits and routines shape our experience and prevent us from having different experiences that can reform our perspectives. People like to feel comfortable. New things can be uncomfortable. Therefore many humans avoid new things.

Intent is powerful. My intention is what has allowed me to explore knowledge beyond the scope of the average human being. At a young age I decided to compete with the Christian Messiah. I would not accept that there is a single human being that could do things that no other human being can do. I was a competitive child who loved to see a human do better than no other human has ever done. Now I do not claim to be better than the Christian Messiah. But that doesn't keep me from trying, and that is a key point with regard to human psychology. For nearly two decades I have learned the truth through my experience and I do find that Jesus taught many good things which I agree with. But I am different from the people who uphold and worship some thing or person as an authority which should not be questioned. The psychology of the unquestioning worshipper is a perspective which limits that person from acquiring real understanding. Let me try to better explain by pointing out another kind of worshipper.

There is a scholarly kind of worship found in the education system. These people unquestioningly worship the science of our time. They existed when it was taught the Earth was flat. They existed when it was taught that the Earth was the center of the universe. They existed before the microscope and the telescope were able to improve the science. The questioning scientists will no doubt point out the fact that their dogma is better than the so-called religious dogma because theirs is not as rigid. But I only mention that modern science is a very rigid thing in some people's minds compared to other people's minds. So we can intend to have a mind that is able to discover truths that are unknown by most people. We can intend to be like those people who were most able to explore and discover in order to bring new tools to our species. Jesus brought good tools to many people and so did Tesla. If you want to have the biggest and best impact in your life then you must intend to have a mind that is more fit to explore the unknown. And I am not just talking about those things unknown to our species. I am talking about the difference between rote learning and comprehension... symbol worship versus a general curiosity about the real thing being pointed to by the symbols.
