Someone might think that I think too much and do too little and might even be right about that. Then again I shouldn’t care too much about what “someone” thinks, albeit how much will I care depends on who that someone is and how much value does he or she represents in my life (or how much does he or she mean to me). But I’m over-thinking it again perhaps. ;)

It is true though that I have a sort of a compulsion to get clean on certain topics before I proceed with some others. The ultimate of this, one which I easily gravitate towards, is to get clean on everything - everything that anyhow relates to my life - to just think it all through, decide on a conclusion and then draw my moves from there.

This thinking things through, especially if lack of concentration creeps in, can take a while. I feel, however, that when I blog about one of those topics it accelerates the process. Writing seems to boost thinking and publishing the final result for whomever is reading, even if it’s nobody, somehow seems to give me a psychological seal of completeness, making it easier to move on with something new. It’s like making a commitment saying this is what I think now and that’s done, it’s out.. and now I can begin exploring further.

When I say “everything” here I mean everything that should ever be relevant to me and my life. Everything includes the reality outside of me and the reality of me. The outside reality includes everything that I ever encountered in my life, everything that I am encountering right now and everything that I will encounter in the future. Reality of me includes everything that I was, everything that I am and everything that I want to be, with an emphasis on what I am because this is where the “game” starts. This is the perspective from which I am looking.

What I learned so far about reality of everything:

1. Everything in reality, including myself, is in fact more than anything a process. As time passes there is a process going on that keeps moleculs together which in turn form materials and everything else, including us.

2. These processes are always actions and reactions. It doesn’t take long to conclude that my life is a process as well and that every act I undertake will have an inescapable reaction, a consequence.

3. Everything is consisted of fundamentals, including the fundamentals themselves (fundamentals of fundamentals). Subatomic particles make up an atom which make up moleculs which make up materials which make up objects etc. The way this works is by the rule of universal commonalities (yes I just made that term up). If something is common to everything then it is considered a fundamental. If every physical thing is consisted of atoms and moleculs then they are fundamental to all physical things. If a certain idea is common to all concepts and philosophies observed then those philosophies have that as their fundamental idea. And so on.

4. I own myself and am the dictator of my life. I get to decide on every single next move that I can possibly make consciously. I control my actions totally.

5. The more conscious I am about the reality of me and reality outside of me the more control I will have over my life. The more I truly know myself and the reality outside of myself the better equipped I am to make the right judgments of consequences I expect of certain actions, before I undertake them.

6. As perfect as life can get is when you arrange all your actions in exactly such way that will bring exactly the consequences you desire, and when you have a high (near to 100%) rate of correct predictions of consequences. You don’t need to be psychic for this, just very very aware of the processes that are going on around everything that relates to every act you are making. If you have all the facts you just have to connect the dots to see what should a particular action lead you to.

7. Emotions are a signal making me know whether I am on the right track or not, unless misinterpreted (which is another skill to master). Basically, emotions can tell me if I really love what I’m currently doing and if I really like the consequences that I earned by my actions. I have to have these signals in order to be able to truly guide my life in the direction I want to - towards being more wealthy, more positively influential and more happy.

Now… it’s easier said than done. :)

Knowing self is a pretty advanced skill. I’m not sure what’s harder, getting to know oneself or getting to know the reality of everything around oneself. :)

At least the journey doesn’t ever have to stop. I should make it into a habit to research, read and then explore more regularly.

Cheers
