The Means and Method for Being an Accurate Thinker

We should all commit ourselves to being emissaries of the truth; that is: discovering it, thinking it, speaking it, and acting upon it.

And we should boycott and shun lies, deceptions, superstitions and delusions.

This is the only path that leads to enlightenment, which is the ability to discern falsehood and lies from what is true and honest, preventing us from falling prey to deceitful or misguided people who wish to make of us voices and hands for their agendas, at our own and others’ expenses.

But what is the truth? And how do we know when we’ve successfully arrived at it?

The truth can and ever will rest entirely upon one thing, and that is an accumulation of the indisputable facts! We can only ever arrive at the truth when we have investigated and procured the facts concerning the events of mankind and the laws of nature, and then drawn our conclusions based upon them.

This is what it means to be an accurate thinker!

Anything else is likely to lead us into error or delusion. So many of us fall into such catastrophes because we base our conclusions upon snap-judgments, prejudices, false testimonies and propaganda which parade themselves as if founded on the facts, and then we treat those biases as if they were true. But this leads us into the realm of erroneous or delusional thinking, and because we have followed a route that doesn’t lead to the truth, we suffer for it. And we suffer greatly.

The accurate thinker, however, is free from the plight of such nonsensical consequence. The reason is they meticulously question the validity of every claim they encounter even when the masses or some segment of it have already accepted it, rather than blindly accepting it themselves.

They look at the testimonies and the pieces of evidence presented to support any claim being pushed on them with diligence to determine whether it leads to a verdict that is founded on either fact or fabrication, regardless of whether they wish the conclusion presented was true. Then they conduct themselves accordingly based upon a truthful conclusion.

Unless we were witness to an event or the operation of a law in the flesh (which is rarely the case), we are forced to rely upon the testimony of those who were present to observe it, and those who interview them and report their findings. But here the accurate thinker acknowledges that this presents a problem; not all people are honest and sane. So they not only recognize they must ascertain the validity of the claim, they must also question the strength and sanity of the witness’s or reporter’s character.

The same goes for the evidence being used to back a claim; again, the accurate thinker in regard to their awareness of the dishonesty and misguidedness of some people, must ascertain whether the evidence is legitimate or forged and concocted to deceive a ruling in the dishonest or deluded person’s favor.

Since so much of the information we rely on to make our decisions comes from external sources outside our personal experience, accurate thinking becomes mandatory to the person who would be an advocate for the truth; thus, they question and qualify the honesty and integrity of every source, and they do the same of the testimonies and evidence those sources provide.

This is to be an accurate thinker!

They do not fall into the foolish practice of automatically believing any claim about anyone else when it could do that person damage, knowing full well that wicked people harbor ill will and grudges and seek revenge on those they hate by framing and slandering them.

They do not fall into the foolish practice of immediately accepting any preachment or doctrine simply because it is coming from a person of authority, or one who is perceived to be.

They do not fall into the foolish practice of instantly believing any narrative that claims a string of events happened or nature’s laws were abdicated, all because some possibly unreliable document professes it so.

To the person who wishes to develop the ability for accurate thinking, it would do them well to start making the aforementioned considerations. It would do them well to question all sources of information that present testimonies and evidence in favor of a certain verdict, with a weighed examination of what the source has to gain in their presentation of the conclusion they want us to accept.

 

Joy is demonstrated when we maintain a positive mental attitude in the worst of afflictions and sufferings. It is when we refrain from kicking back against unfair circumstances and reviling our enemies for the ways in which they persecute us. It is to calmly trust that justice always prevails under the Law of Compensation, and that our adversaries’ assaults will eventually ricochet back against themselves, and knock them back and down.
