The Illusion Exposed

11/24/2016

There is an illusion that fools us all, consistently. When a feeling arises within us, especially when that feeling coincides simultaneously with an outside event, it is easy to mistakenly conclude that the outside event caused the feeling. For example, if every time I am late for work, I feel anxious and bothered, it seems sensible to attribute my feeling of anxiety to the fact that I am running late.

But this is an illusion. It is not true. Being late to work does not and cannot create any kind of feeling for me.

There is an invisible force that creates my feeling of anxiety. It is the power of Thought. Without my own thinking anxiously, I cannot and would not feel anxious. Thought is the power which brings me all of my feelings and experiences.

This phenomenon is operating through all of us perfectly, without exception. It cares not whether you are having beautiful thoughts or ugly thoughts. The power of Thought brings them all to life, as a feeling, indiscriminately.

Now you might be compelled, based on this truth, to manage your brain so as to only have nice thoughts. Many have tried, only to find mixed results of success and mostly failure.

You might instead, find great relief in what this truth implies. For example, it implies that every time you find yourself blaming your upset feeling on the way you are being treated, that you MUST be misunderstanding where your feelings are coming from. It implies that all blame is only possible when we lose sight of how it really works! For if you did understand, if you had insightfully asked yourself: "Where is this feeling really coming from?", it would be revealed to you that such blame is baseless and false. It simply doesn't work that way.

Realizing this implication might take off your mind the amount of time and energy you spend ruminating and contemplating blame.

This is a paradigm of subtraction. Learning how our experiences are created, automatically reveals to us how our feelings are NOT being created. We may continue to choose to ruminate in blame, but it won't last, because we already know how silly such a notion is.

It will die all on its own.

This is just one implication. There are many more to be revealed for each of us. As they reveal themselves, we will benefit from having more and more ruminative and unproductive thinking fall off our minds.

This is the ultimate path towards personal evolution and change.

Have fun!

Self-Correction and a Reflective Question

In hindsight, I now recognize, that many of our earlier attempts to introduce Innate Health to the public, were somewhat flawed. Although our intentions were mostly pure, a limited understanding of the 3 Principles led to misleading explanations and poor advice.

For example, we would regularly say, "Look for a good feeling" or "Follow your inner wisdom" or "Seek a quiet mind" or "Underneath your Thinking is pure love & clarity" or "Be innately healthy" (ha! that's a funny one). These might be good suggestions but they are not the 3 Principles.

As we continue to gain a deeper appreciation for the 3 Principles Paradigm, I hope we can look back at this post and laugh all over again. This would mean that we are learning, evolving - changing.

So, what have we learned to date? We've learned that advice is not our strong point. Instead, we share palatable illustrations and descriptions of the 3 Principles Paradigm. We've stopped telling people they'd be better off with a positive outlook. Instead, we invite people to consider and examine how all personal reality is generated. We've stopped encouraging people to seek or find a nicer place or feeling. Instead, we encourage an honest dialogue regarding how we all understand the moment to moment flow of life.

We define Innate Health as a simple fact - you and the entire human race are constantly feeling and experiencing their own thinking. This is always true - and nothing else in the world can interrupt this indivisible connection.

It is innate - you were born with the ability to feel your thinking.

It is a healthy, vibrant system that never rests, never fails, never breaks down.

Thank G-d for that.

This is a constant, an ever present truth, regarding how the human experience is being created. What can we learn from this truth? What does it imply? What can we extrapolate from it? What does it mean for how we live our lives, how we choose to act and what we choose to dwell upon?

One Way, and no other

So, here I am again. Trying in vain, for the umpteenth time, to write a simple, comprehensive, engaging, practical description of the 3 Principles. I refuse to give up. By now most of us know what they are called - Mind, Thought & Consciousness, but names and labels alone will never fully encapsulate their vastness, their power, their divinity. There is one "soundbite", however, that has emerged over and over as a direction or "true north" for anyone who wishes to find continuous learning and evolution through this understanding. It goes like this.

The 3 Principles are the Paradigm for all human experience. All human experience is created through this Paradigm. There is absolutely no human experience outside of 3 Principles Paradigm. Our experience in the moment, at any moment, including our emotions, feelings, sensations, attitudes, beliefs and states of mind are all, without exception, generated and made available for us via this single Paradigm of Mind, Thought & Consciousness.

Yes, this seemingly simple clue is actually a huge deal. Logic then dictates, if it only works one way, then obviously it works NO OTHER WAY. This will blow your mind when you realize it. When you realize just how much of our lives and the lives of those around us are built and predicated upon the idea that there are many, other sources which can cause us to feel this way or that.

But all along, there was and remains only one creator of all feeling. And suddenly, when you are gifted with waking up to this simple fact, you will find more psychological freedom than ever before.

So I encourage you, even if nobody can give you a 5-minute power point demonstration to answer all your questions, keep looking at these Principles. Keep asking about them. Keep learning.

Understanding them is the key to the answers we all seek.
