Davis Goss’ Mind Boggling Blog

The world thrives on one crisis after another.  When one crisis has run its course, news people come up others to take its place.  This is as predictable as the sunrise.

This kind of “news” brings out all the gurus, self-appointed “experts”, analysts and “preachers of doom” only too willing to share their views on any given subject.  However articulate they may be, seldom, if ever, do they offer any viable solution to the problem.  And if they do, it is immediately challenged with hostility and rejection.

Is there a real solution?  Of course there is!  It has been articulated by serious thinkers throughout history but nobody is listening.   In more recent times, it has been presented by Dr. Einstein when he noted that, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.  We must learn to see the world anew”.

Every problem, every crisis, every conflict, whether personal, professional, corporate, national or international can only be resolved by this self-evident rule. However difficult it may seem, the law demands that we see the troubled world from a completely opposite point of view.  The opposite of chaos, turmoil and discord is harmony, balance and perpetual well being.

Where does all this take place?  Think about it.  The only PLACE it can occur is in your conscious awareness.  Your experiences take place within you; they are not a “something” that occurs externally “out there” somewhere.  This is your “mindset” which, by definition, “determines and influences events and circumstances” (Webster).

This new, opposite world is embodied in the universe, which is defined by Webster as,

“The whole body of things observed or assumed; including the whole without limit or exception; accruing everywhere”.  There is no room for chaos, confusion or conflict here!

QUESTION: The infinite universe, being the only reality, wherein does this “thing” they call a “crisis” come from?

ANSWER:  It doesn’t come from anywhere; it is merely the unawareness or absence of the answer.  It can have no more real existence than a counterfeit dollar bill can have without there being a genuine dollar bill to be a counterfeit of.

What is termed a “crisis” is only the absence or unawareness of the answer.  It is an illusory, misinterpretation of the harmony and balance already in full operation in the universe of which we are an inexorable part.  In reality, the only way we can experience this illusory “thing” they call a crisis is to accept it as real.  To the degree that we can separate ourselves from it and identify ourselves with the “controlling forces of the universe without limit or exception”,  can we prove it in the “events and circumstances” that comprise our life experiences.

This is more than a nice comfortable philosophical, abstract or academic statement.  It is the LAW!  “Law” is defined by Webster as, “A rule or principle that always works and is enforced by a governing authority”.

Living up here in New Hampshire this time of year, I observe the operation of the laws governing the universe every day as the trees change their colors.  I note, too, that the operation of these laws and principles, “the creative and controlling forces of the universe” (Webster), are no more influenced or directed by any man-made “laws”, legislation or government regulation than the sunrise.

All I can do is to be an impersonal observer of the perfect, uninterrupted rhythm of the universe.  From this perspective, all the utterances of the “bad news pundits” have no more power or authority over my world than the belief that 2 + 2 = 6.

They’re at it again! The news folks are telling us of an economic disaster and putting the country in a crisis mode again. If you are not a regular follower of this blog, this can be scary and you have great concern for your security. But if you have been following the message of this blog, you have learned to put first things first and adopt a healthy mindset in spite of the dire predictions of the “preacher of doom”.

If you need a boost, please review these four specific articles:

Justification for Rejecting the Idea of “Financial Disaster”

How to Live Harmonious Life Experiences in Spite of World Problems

The Idea of Economic Collapse is Flawed

Remember the slogan of the Thought Box that says, “When you react to appearances, you are not in control”. I would also remind you of the old adage that “Nothing important is urgent and nothing urgent is important”. The balance and perfection of “the controlling forces of the universe” are still in full operation.

Maintain your focus and remember that the laws and principles comprising this entire universe are committed to maintaining your well being; NOW!

The world view is focused on the economic downturn and potential collapse of national and world markets. This brings out all the self-appointed experts who analyze the situation and offer “solutions” that are subject to more scrutiny, analysis and debate.

Is there a viable “solution“? Of course there is because in a universe that has been sustained by natural laws and principles (”the creative and controlling forces of the universe”. Webster) in perpetuity, imbalance is as unknown as darkness is to light.

Throughout the centuries, there have been countless scholars who have recognized the answer to this dilemma. Not the least of these was Dr. Einstein who summed it up by noting that “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. We must learn to see the world anew”. This truth is ignored by our decision makers.

However difficult it may seem, the law demands that we see the troubled world from a completely opposite point of view. Webster defined “opposites” as “elements that are so far apart and diverse as to be totally irreconcilable to the other”. One is true and the other, its opposite, is false. The negative idea of economic collapse must be rejected, reversed and seen as a fictitious illusion. It must be replaced with its opposite and be in conformity to universal law as embodied in “the controlling forces of the universe”, ie financial security and balanced perfection.

Where does this positive mindset take place? It is a self-evident fact that we can only be aware of that which is in our individual conscious awareness. YOU are the only one who can resolve any problem; and you must do it by restructuring YOUR mindset to “see the world anew”. “Mindset” is defined by Webster as, “A fixed way of thinking; that which determines and influences events and circumstances”. Your total life experiences are defined by “events and circumstances” which reflect your mindset., not that of some “outside” influence.

I realize that this is a radical departure from traditional, accepted perspectives, but I have proven its viability in my more than 50 years as a professional problem solver to the benefit of a widely diverse client base. It was Voltaire who said, “It is dangerous to right in matters on which accepted authorities are wrong” but facts are facts, proof is proof and universal natural laws and principles cannot be successfully challenged, altered, modified or circumvented.

Success, prosperity, freedom and pressure-free life experiences are already a natural to you as wet is to water. You can prove this when you do as Galileo advised and “find it within yourself”.

As important as modern day technological tools are, it should be realized that throughout all recorded history, nothing was ever accomplished, no goal was ever reached, no need was ever met and no problem was ever solved that didn’t begin with an IDEA!

Ideas are the substance of the imagination. They are the effects of creative thinking. When people ignore or overlook new ideas and concepts, they risk becoming the victims of another’s creative initiative regardless of their technological competence. While any activity should take advantage of the best technological aids available, it behooves us to be alert to the necessity for balance and make specific, conscious efforts to increase our imaginative skills. We should be constantly scanning our mental horizons for new opportunities for growth and advancement and become aware of the events and circumstances that can contribute to our productivity: “to establish results, benefits and profits… through our imaginative skills.” (Webster)

Your mind, which embodies this “thing” called “creativity”, is the source of all ideas. Your consciousness is the best computer ever devised. However mind-boggling the next generation of computers may be, that master computer between your ears is the only “mechanism” that can generate new, original ideas and be responsive to the flow of mental images of the imagination.

These images are a glimpse into the future. It is vision, which is defined by Webster as, “the act or power of perceiving mental images (ideas) in the imagination.” Jonathan Swift noted that “vision id the art of seeing the invisible.” Helen Keller was quoted as having said, “Worse than being blind, is to have no vision.”

Remember, the computer and all its associated technologies are merely the outward manifestation of someone’s creative thinking. Remember, to, that an effect cannot, and never will, initiate any action of its own. It must forever be subservient to its primal cause and source: creative thinking.

It was Victor Hugo who reminded us the “there is nothing more powerful than the right idea whose time has come.” That time is NOW!

Take time to marvel at the computer with all its wonder, with all its contributing technologies and its capacity to make such significant contributions to out way of life. But always reserve a quiet place in your mind where you can retire from the pressures imposed by the “real world” and take time to THINK.

Listening to the experts on the news, we are told that we are in an economic crunch with more hard times ahead. Financial institutions and economists echo this crisis and further amplify the idea of threatening “depression” and/or “recession” depending on their particular point of view. This is THEIR view. I don’t agree with them because I choose not to live in their world of perpetual chaos, conflict and confusion. They belong to the “I.E.A.” club: “Isn’t Everything Awful”. I refuse to join!

We live in a world where every situation is challenged by some implied OPPOSITE. Webster defines “OPPOSITES” as, “elements that are so far apart and diverse as to be totally irreconcilable”. Dare to accept this natural law of opposites where “true” and “false” cannot be justified to each other. Only one can be true.

This true perspective cancels the old discordant interpretation of reality. It reveals the omnipresence of natural laws and principles that are defined by Webster as, “the creative and controlling forces of the universe”. These forces, by their very nature and definition, cannot include any idea of economic imbalance, chaos or corruption. They operate in perpetuity independent of all negative beliefs that would oppose them.

I know how abstract and impractical this seems, and we ask ourselves, “What about the national debt, mass unemployment, corruption, violence at all levels of society, the apparent collapse of the judicial system, and on and on and on”? What about them? Because they cannot, by law, be justified to the true nature of the “controlling forces of the universe”, they are, by definition, artificial, fraudulent, unreal appearances and have no more substance and reality than the flat world or the appearance of railroad tracks converging on the horizon.

We can choose to reject any concept that would challenge these natural laws and principles and embrace Einstein’s observation that, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. We must learn to see the world anew”. A problem is the opposite of its answer and, by definition, cannot exist unless that answer or solution was already available.

Unless we are alert to it, the constant rehearsing of economic collapse, or any other negative positions, impacts every facet of our personal, professional, corporate and national mindset. MINDSET is defined by Webster as, “a fixed way of thinking; that which determines and influences events and circumstances”. “Events and circumstances” comprise everything we experience in our lives.

The fact that all this is true is academic until you can make it work in YOUR consciousness. Then, and only then, will you prove them to be true and viable in your world of “events and circumstances”.

It is your responsibility to maintain this mindset and allow the “controlling forces” to express themselves in and as your individual experience. You determine your own circumstances. If you were to focus your efforts on attempting to improve bad economic conditions you would be giving reality to the unreal and contribute to compounding the problem rather than awakening to a solution.

With more than 50 years’ experience as a creative consultant, with particular expertise in problem solving, I have proven that nothing exists external to your own individual conscious awareness. The events and circumstances that appear external to you are effects and effects, by law, cannot induce any action of their own. They are not now, never have been and never will be a cause. They are without power or authority and must be rejected as spontaneously as you reject the idea that a mirage will put water on the desert.

From your new altitude of contemplation, there is nothing to improve, adjust, heal or change. “The creative and controlling forces of the universe” are already complete and perfect and you are the full beneficiary of this irreversible law. When the power of these facts impact your inner feeling, watch your “world” change and be in concert with the natural rhythm and balance of the universe!

For literally billions of years, the entire universe has been governed, sustained and maintained in perfect order and balance by irrevocable universal laws and principles. These natural laws and principles are defined by Webster as, “the creative and controlling forces of the universe”.

If we wish to alter the conditions, we experience in this finite world, logic demands that we do so by aligning our consciousness (thinking) with the truth of these “creative and controlling forces of the universe” and let them so dominate the false interpretation that they disappear.

This is the only proper way to solve problems and restore harmony and balance in our life. This procedure is truly “scientific” which, by definition, is “the knowledge or discovery of the operation of laws, principles and facts subject to proof”. (Webster)

Unfortunately we have been taught to be confrontational when presented with a problems or tough challenges. A difficult situation presents itself to us and we immediately look upon it as an enemy with whom we must do battle. This is the prime cause of all conflict and its resultant discords. We must see that that thing we have defined as our problem is not a condition that needs to be overcome, it is simply the absence of the right idea, answer or solution and possesses no power, authority or reality other than that which we individually assign to it.

All answers and solutions to all questions and problems are ALREADY resident in your infinite, all-inclusive mind. The negative problem cannot exist alone. Its only claim to existence is dependent upon there being a positive answer or solution to be a negation of. When you provide the necessary receptive mental environment, the answers will be revealed. Problems will disappear as surely and as effortlessly as darkness disappears in the presence of light!

Where do problems go? They go to the same place the flat world went as soon as Columbus discovered that it was really round. They go to the same place the darkness goes as soon as you turn on the light. The problems don’t GO anywhere because they never were a something to begin with!

With our new-found understanding, we can scientifically reject all problems by knowing that they are simply unreal suggestions that attempt to get a response from us. By recognizing this, we can prevent them from polluting our experiences and we can let the “controlling forces of the universe” assert themselves and keep our lives in harmonious balance in the real universe.

Harmony in our individual experiences is in proportion to our conscious awareness of our true identity as integral expressions of one infinite, dominating laws and principles that comprise the one universe. The universe is defined by Webster as, “the whole body of things observed or assumed including the whole without limit or exception; occurring everywhere”. It is an error-free continuum that has been in full operation throughout all eternity. This could not occur if it contained any element of error or self-destruction.

To bring this point home, in your imagination, imagine what would happen if, even for an instant, 2 + 2 = 7 instead of “4″. The rippling effect of that simple interruption of the universe’s perfect balance would collapse it in an instant. This is further confirmation that the chaos we observe in the world around us is likewise impossible as a reality. If problems were real and existed in accordance with natural laws and principles, they would be as perpetual as the universe and could no more be destroyed than man’s puny efforts could alter the sunrise.

There are specific natural laws and principles that, when properly applied, will resolve any problem, fill any need and reveal the correct procedures to meet any challenge and achieve any goal or objective.

Years ago I was sure that I had more than my share of problems. I felt like I was trapped between the sword and the wall with no apparent means of escape.

It was then that I made an exciting discovery. I discovered that THERE IS ONLY ONE PRIMAL CAUSE OF ALL PROBLEMS. When this root cause is known, understood and properly implemented, all problems, regardless of their nature or apparent severity, will disappear like snowflakes on a hot griddle and do so as effortlessly as darkness disappears in the presence of light.

I found that with the proper application of this discovery, all my problems began to fade away and finally disappeared. Not that I wouldn’t be faced with difficult challenges over the years (not the least of which was my survival of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans) but all have been harmoniously resolved and I continue to enjoy a growing continuity of satisfying personal and professional life experiences.

As a creative consultant, I have proven the viability of this discovery to the benefit of a widely diverse client base that included many of the giants of American business.

This discovery is a radical departure from traditional methods in that it is devoid of the usual academic theories, philosophical abstractions and the personal analyses and opinions of experts. My discovery is based solely on universal natural laws and principles that are defined by Webster as, “the creative and controlling forces of the universe”. By their very nature and definition, these laws and principles are irrevocable and self enforcing. This assures positive results with predictable, scientific certainty.

Today the world is consumed by conflict, turmoil and uncertainty. Too many innocent people are burdened with too many problems over which they seem to have little or no control. This prevents them from enjoying the harmonious life experiences they have a right to expect.

There are literally thousands of programs, books, lecture, seminars and experts of all kinds offering solutions to personal, professional, corporate and world problems. Yet in spite of all this, there are more unsolved problems in the world today than at any other time in history. Recent surveys indicate that the number of people suffering from anxieties, stresses, pressures and fears resulting from this phenomenon, is on a frightening increase world wide.

What the world needs is a new approach to problem solving that can assure success with predictable, scientific certainty. My discovery fills this need by disclosing natural laws and principles in a no-nonsense continuity of facts, reason and logic.

Adherence to these laws and principles will produce harmonious “events and circumstances” whereas a rejection or ignorance of them produces discordant “events and circumstances”. It is the law!

My book, “The Science of LIVING BETTER FOREVER“ is unique in its content and format and will inspire the reader to new levels of conscious awareness, or mind-set, which Webster says is “a fixed way of thinking that determines and influences…(the)…events and circumstances” that comprise our life experiences.

Any success oriented person with an eye to the future is always alert to exploring those methods and procedures that others have proven to be successful. My professional experiences have shown me that the only one thing that prevents us from realizing new profits and more positive personal and professional growth experiences is some barrier or obstacle that seems to exist between where we are now and where we would like to be.

People experience resistance to growth because they have been taught that they are the victims of negative situations that have been imposed upon them from some outside situation over which they have no control. This is where the struggle begins. They instinctively feel compelled to confront the situation with sufficient force to beat it into submission. This confrontational approach is the cause of all stress, pressure, anxiety and fear.

It is a self-evident fact that in a universe that functions in perfect balance and harmony, without any help from you and me, there are universal laws and principles that maintain and support their irrevocable continuity and perpetuity. Through my reasoning process, I can accurately conclude that I am an integral element in this system and partake of its perfection and non-confrontational, productive existence. If I am not consciously experiencing this right now, it’s my own fault.

The key to resolving any negative, obstructive situation is not buried in some long lost archive. It is found in our own dictionary. It’s found in Webster’s definition of natural laws and principles, which he states very simply as “the creative and controlling forces of the universe”. By definition, these natural laws and principles cannot be negative, destructive or be flawed in any way. They are absolute, irrevocable and all-inclusive and are no more subject to debate, challenge, alteration or circumvention than the suggestion that “5″ has a rightful place at the end of 2 + 2.

The only action worthy of our attention when confronted with a problem, obstacle or barrier of any kind is to recognize that the harmony or solution is already embodied in some natural law or principle. And if we will keep our thought open and receptive to these laws in operation, and away from the problem’s destructive negativism, we will be letting these “creative and controlling forces of the universe” enforce their own nature and we will be a witness to our problem’s disappearance.

Think about this. Realize that the only thing that will solve your problems, remove that “glitch” in your world and allow you to break free of any restrictions that may inhibit your business or personal and professional growth, is by allowing natural laws and principles to guide and govern your actions and mind-set. NOT money. NOT technology. NOT academic achievement. NOT personal opinions. NOT intellectual theories or philosophical abstractions. The only thing you can do is to release your own personal feelings and opinions, keep your mental focus on the irreversible operation of “the creative forces of the universe” and allow this mindset to manifest in improved events and circumstances that define your life experiences.

There seems to be no shortage of problems in the world and we each seem to have more than our fair share of them. To be free of the pressures imposed by these problems is a worthy objective for everyone.

At one time or another, you have probably let your thought wander and contemplated what your life experiences would be like if all your problems could disappear like snowflakes on a hot griddle. If your previous efforts to resolve them have been less than satisfactory, let me suggest that you consider the following three principles I have found to be predictably reliable when they become an integral part of your mind-set. Webster defines mind-set as “a mental attitude that can influence and determine events and circumstance; a fixed way of thinking“.

These principles, or axioms, are the very essence of simplicity and logic. In fact, they are so simple and obvious that you might be tempted to reject them at first. But when you really take time to think about them you’ll find their effectiveness will be directly proportionate to your understanding and faithful application of them to your particular situation.

AXIOM 1

A problem is a problem only as long as you do not know the answer

This may sound like an over simplification but take time to think about it. What is a problem to you may or may not be a problem to me or anyone else. It is completely subjective. It is yours alone to endure or to resolve.

We might paraphrase this axiom by saying that “darkness is darkness only so long as you don’t turn on the light”. When the light floods the room, there is no darkness. Similarly, when the solution to your problem or the answer to your question is seen, the problem disappears. One absolutely excludes, negates and obliterates the other. You cannot experience them both at the same time. They are opposites and opposites cannot mix or commingle. It is the law!

This being true, logic demands that we accept the second axiom.

AXIOM 2

A problem is not a condition that needs to be overcome, it is simply the absence of the right idea, solution or answer.

The problem must be seen as not really being a “something” that you must work over. It is the opposite or negation of the answer or solution you are seeking. It is a negative statement of your positive objective. It is a void than needs to be filled. Can you see, then, that is really a no-thing and not an adversary with which we must confront and go out and do battle?

We must know that that “monster” you are trying so hard to conquer is not a monster at al. It is simply the absence of the right idea. And because you can never be aware of a problem except in your own mind or thought, we must logically conclude that the right idea or solution is also there within your own mind or thought and it is there, and only there, that it can be recognized and accepted.

Think about this: Your awareness of any problem is really self-evident proof that its answer or solution is, by reversal, already available to you. How do you invoke this proof? By applying the third axiom:

AXIOM 3

To dissolve a problem we must look away from it and focus our attention only on that which we are trying to achieve… the goal or objective.

You must discipline your thinking and concentrate only on your goal or objective and do so with the absolute exclusion and rejection of any and all elements embodied in the problem’s definition. We must learn to see THROUGH problems rather than trying to understand them and focus on developing strategies that might beat them down.

Just as you can never understand why 2 + 2 = 5, you can never understand any problem because it really isn’t a “something” to understand. It is the absence of something; it is a NO-thing.

Remember, as long as the problem is the focus of your attention it will never be fully resolved. Concentrate on keeping your thought open and riveted on the excitement of achieving your objective. Envision yourself as already enjoying the fulfillment of your achieved objective. By so doing, you will open the flow of new ideas and concepts that will dissolve, or replace, the problem. Your problems will simply disappear. It is the law!

Where did the problem go? It went to the same place the darkness went when you turned on the light. It never was a “something” in the first place.
