\nA person who refuses to believe without proof.
\nA skeptic.<\/p>\n

Here We Go.\u00a0<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n

The Catch-22 of our times:
\nWhen using the linear, logical thinking style within the mind, the focus can be so narrow that the proof<\/strong><\/em> cannot fit into it.
\nThe proof is all around us.
\nYet most are not attuned to perceive it.
\nHence, forever limited within a subset of human capability.
\nIt is optimal to recognize that linear, logical thinking has a place in our world.
\nThat place holds much limitation.
\nTo fully access human capabilities, one is best served by being able to interact with the world using intuitive thinking also.
\nAn alternate operating system.
\nWider perspectives.
\nBroader capabilities.
\nThe road to self-actualization is via nonlinear, nonlogical thinking pathways.\"13094417_10208473217859401_8584498587830073117_n\"<\/a>
\nThe road to human optimization is a magical<\/strong><\/em> one.
\nMagic is simply truth that is not optimally perceived.
\nQuantum.
\nA paradox.
\nTwo seemingly opposite ideas both being true simultaneously.<\/p>\n

The first step to optimally integrate this:
\nAppreciate that understanding is optional.
\nTo understand is not required.
\nNeeding to understand every detail is the most effective way to maintain the limited, logical mindset and prevent a more limitless existence.
\nParadox feels the best word to describe this Catch-22.
\nQuagmire.\"13095756_1065662763489908_8676964025813319596_n\"<\/a>
\nDilemma.
\nContradiction.
\n“No-win situation”.
\nTruly any situation can be a win-win …
\nIf one envisions it, then chooses it.<\/p>\n

Intention.
\nTrue intention to see optimally is another fantastic first step choice.
\nThe logical, scientific mind commonly found in today’s power circles has conveniently set aside some important foundations within their own chosen mindset.
\nMost importantly: to question assumptions.
\nWhen did we stop questioning assumptions?
\nWhy did we stop questioning assumptions?
\nAre we ready to ask optimal questions about our challenging problems?
\nAre we ready to hear, optimally hear, answers that serve the highest good for all?
\nHow do we handle it when the answers do not match our perceived best interests<\/em><\/strong>?
\nHow do we feel safe and secure when the answers challenge our coping mechanisms?
\nWe cope with the universal wounds, templates, of unworthiness, lack of safety, lack of abundance.
\nIllusions.\"13094205_10156946018570201_5129113223569264798_n\"<\/a>
\nVery. Convincing. Illusions.<\/p>\n

We have been trained to fear uncertainty.
\nTo the point where we prefer the cage.
\nBecause we have grown accustomed to how we are treated in the cage.
\nTo step out of the cage, the door has been open our entire life, feels uncertain.
\nUncertainty tends to breed either fear or excitement.
\nOur thinking patterns developed via our family, our religious teachings, our community, our vocational training. The list goes on.<\/p>\n

Be aware.
\nThe path of human optimization rests on the ability to transform … transmute the fear of uncertainty into the excitement of possibility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When there is a will, there is always a way.\"Drumheller,<\/a>
\nWhere there is a will, there is always a way.
\nThere\u00a0is<\/strong> a way.<\/p>\n

Aren’t you curious?<\/p>\n
