There is so much stuff to read, both pro and against my current worldview and there is so much to evaluate based on this worldview from my business activities to my advocacy. In addition, there are all these still not entirely honed out and contextualized concepts and ideas floating around, such as those presented here for example.

So I’m compelled to evaluate the foundational process by which I should be addressing these issues, the process of thinking, from which all else follows. I think that for a being that is alive, self-aware, intelligent and capable of thinking and deciding everything in the universe starts with “him” or “her” or “me” - an individual. Only through your own eyes can you begin to see, or through your own ears to hear. Only through your own senses can you start sensing the reality around you and only through your own thinking can you process this information. There is no other computer more important than your own mind. We must think for ourselves. I must think for myself. And if conclusions I reach disagree with the beliefs of the majority, that should be of no consequence to my discovery. A scientist with a new discovery will not deny his discovery simply because he is the only one in the world who made it.

So how do we discover? First, you sense, receiving the information from the reality around you. It may come in the form of light, sound, smell, taste and skin sensations. This includes everything, from what we simply feel to what we read (articulated expressions of reality which are fed into our mind). So what is next, once all this raw information comes into our mind what happens? I’d rather say what *should* happen.

So this is the three step process of thinking:

1. Processing new information: Raw information received, mixed with our personality, quickly starts constituting ideas and concepts. Arranging these ideas and concepts into a contextual pattern of some sort results in a paradigm. How do we do this in the most beneficial way?

The rule NO 1: Adopt as truth only those ideas and concepts which are devoid of logical fallacies and contradictions even after you thoroughly tested them by a scientific process.

2. Acting, adapting your circumstances to new ideas and concepts: Those ideas and concepts which you adopted, even perhaps a whole new paradigm, may demand that you rearrange your life to fit. How do we do this?

Rule NO2: Realistically evaluate your real life circumstances and develop a process by which you will adapt them to your new ideas, concepts or paradigm. You’ll likely fail if you just try to force the new way of living upon the old one. There must be a process of adaptation.

3. Consistently and habitually questioning ourselves: There is always a chance that the ideas and concepts we adopted, no matter with how much scrutiny have we initially tested them, contain some logical inconsistencies and contradictions. It may simply happen that we discover something new that challenges the old conceptions. This is why questioning even our current truths is important and should be developed into a habit. How we do that?

Rule NO3: Ask the question “why” all the time in order to maintain a consistently high level of self-awareness. For all significant activities that you undertake ask yourself why are you doing them. Ask yourself why do you believe what you believe? Keep your mind “on its toes”. This way you can hope to avoid the “wrong ideas that always seem right and are never questioned” and therefore allow yourself to evolve efficiently.

I think that successfully adopting this process of thinking can tremendously help increase your chances of success, gaining wealth and influencing positive world change. I did not yet entirely adopted this process but I am trying. It is still something that I was able to formulate only so recently and therefore I still have lots of practicing to do.

But I think that once I do adopt this process, I will feel like nothing can stand in my way, because when you think in a way that increases awareness every problem encountered may already call solutions forming within your mind, as if it was automatic. When you always ask “why” you make all of the circumstances of your life a part of consciousness rather than subconsciousness therefore having so many more “tools” to work with once you encounter a problem that needs fixing.

Nothing can stop a free mind that thinks. Nothing.
