Applied Philosophy

Truth. Some thought must also be directed at the importance ofbecoming knowledgeable with the different aspects of how the mindworks and the key role it plays in this re-connection. Benefit is alsogained by understanding the conceptual and functional differencesbetween information and knowledge-wisdom. Information, regardlessof its value, only points the way, “having” or being able to “repeat”information in spite of how proficiently done, is not synonymous withknowledge or being wise. Reading and commenting on it generates agratifying sensation, but it is merely temporary. Information’s trueworth comes to light when while pointing the way generates thehealthy desire for change, when it leads to engage in the fluid andconsistent effort and surrender to what needs to be done. Invariablythis must be undertaken while in conscious presence, so that throughthe experiences that naturally present themselves along the day,misinformation (distorted energy - ignorance) is transmuted intoknowledge that re-connects with the Self.Re-connecting with the True Nature of ThingsReside on the truth that life, like true philosophy, does not comewith an instruction manual. Nonetheless, it flows, totally free andplentiful in possibilities; hence, the attractiveness of understandingand taking care of re-formulating false information, fears andobscurations, that (through ignorance) are allowed to contaminate andimpede the flow. Learned attitudes and behaviors, deeply ingrainedthrough repetition, have come to restrict freedom and choice and limitincursions into new experiences, to linger in the false safety of theknown, to feel comfortable in the false protection of boundariesdefined and set by others - even though it will irrevocably result instagnation and suffering. Suffering that in this context refers to theharmful load of energy that is added to the pain inherent to aparticular situation. There are situations, which naturally occur,which in themselves may be painful, but taken out of context byadding mental drama, as well as working them over and over with thesame recurrent unwholesome attitude. This is what is not healthy andtherefore a source of added pain or what is known as suffering.Altogether, such obscurations promote departure and distancing fromthe true nature that resides in each and every one of us. However, itshould be abundantly clear, that it is entirely possible to choose to reconnectwith that center of authenticity from which things can be seenand felt for what they are; which when allowed to be, attract andgenerate joyful, healthy and abundant happiness.Be aware of the fact that, you are not responsible for what youinherit, but definitively accountable for what is done with it!
