How to Be What You Really Are
Some years ago I felt that I had more than my fair share of problems and that I was trapped between the sword and the wall with no means of escape. I felt trapped in circumstances over which I had no control and that these circumstances were destined to destroy me.
In this period of desperation, I made an exciting discovery. I discovered that there is only one prime cause of all problems. Just ONE. And when this root cause is understood and properly implemented, all problems, regardless of their nature or apparent severity, will disappear like snowflakes on a hot griddle.
Key to this discovery was the realization that the universe is a conglomerate of natural laws and principles. Webster defines “natural laws and principle” as, “the creative and controlling forces of the universe”. And he defines “universe” as, “The whole body of things observed and assumed including the whole without limit or exception and accruing everywhere”.
The world is telling us that, in order to resolve these discordant situations, which we call “problems”, we must face up to them, confront them as enemies, do battle with them and beat them into submission. This is a confrontational approach to problem solving that produces more frustrations than solutions. It is the prime cause of pressure, anxiety, stress and every malady known to man.
If we wish to experiences our natural condition of success, prosperity and freedom in our personal lives, if we want to be more profitably productive in our professional lives and if we want to be untouched by national and international turmoil, logic demands that we must depart from traditional problem solving methods and adopt a new method that can assure positive resolutions.
There are lots of books, lectures, seminars, gurus and self-appointed “experts” who purport to have the answer to effective problem solving. While most of them are highly motivational and inspirational, they miss the mark because they are based on suppositional theories, philosophical abstractions or academic “isms” and “ologies”. They lack any demonstrable operating scientific principle that can assure successful conclusions with predictable accuracy.
To be successful, we must challenge popular trends. We must pursue an alternative course that is based solely on scientific, natural laws and principles in a continuity of facts, logic and reasoning that can assure positive problem solving results with predictable certainty.
Think about what is in your mind the moment you awakened this morning. Without any support from any outside influence, you knew that you were a thinking entity. You were aware of something that gives you a unique identity. You know how the French philosopher Rene Descartes must have felt back in the 15th century when he also recognized his true identity and declared to the world his familiar revelation: “Cogito ergo sum” which is Latin for “I think, therefore , I am”
You need no external evidence to confirm the fact that your very being is that of being consciously aware. Further, in this rational awareness you can reasonably conclude that you did not create yourself and must, therefore, be the effect of a greater cause. You KNOW it because you know that you can consciously declare, “I am”, “I exist as an individual conscious entity”. You can say with absolute surety and agreement with Rene Descartes, “I am”. First person, singular, present tense!
Note that this awareness takes place within your conscious awareness and needs no external evidence to support it. It contains no finite, corporeal parameters. It is totally incorporeal or spiritual, which, according to Webster, is “a life-giving force; an animating principle; having no material body or form”.
Because of the very esoteric nature of such a concept, it is next to impossible to articulate it in words. It is a concept that comes from within consciousness itself and whose substance is an intangible “knowing” or “awareness”; a “feeling” that defies finite description but is as real and permanent as honesty, love, compassion, and other intangibles that are the very essence of your being.
