"All statements are equally true" - Jim Leonard
How? Context.
When looking at the sun with green-tinted sunglasses, the statement: "The sun is green" is very true.
In that context, the sun is green.
But it's also true that the sun is blue, red, pink, and all the other colours. What matters is the context, or what sunglasses you have on.
Our minds work like sunglasses, but it's not just one pair.
Imagine a "pocket dimension" that stores infinitely many sunglasses. An infinite hallway storing all types of sunglasses.
When you put a pair on, you adopt certain assumptions, beliefs, and ideas about the world that come with those "glasses". They colour your
Some of these glasses are helpful, but many are not.
And they determine our lives.
But the awesome thing about being human is that we can choose which sunglasses to wear.
How?
1. Words are magic. Use words to create a statement that represents the new context you want to live in
ex: "It's okay for me to do things without others permission."
2. Mentally repeat that statement to yourself, then listen for parts of you that object to it. Note down their fears.
ex: "No! It's not okay, it's too hard, you need other people's help"
3. For each fear, construct a new statement that addresses that part's fears
ex: "It's completely safe for me to do things with others permission"
4. Then prove to the objecting part how this new statement is true -- feel the part, accept it, or reject it.
ex: "Remember when we closed that deal without anyone telling us to? Doesn't that support this new context?"
5. If you feel resonance with the statement, then go back to the original statement and see if any more objections arise
ex: "It's okay for me to do things without others permission"
6. Repeat 2-5 until the original statement becomes obviously true for your system.
This works because all statements are equally true. You just need to find contexts for them,
You are always happy.
You are always sad.
Both are true in different contexts.
Here is how I believe this change process works:
Your mind is a 'pocket dimension' that already holds contexts, so when you introduce a new context, the system of contexts held within undergoes a process of assimilation or change. Conflicts in assumptions and beliefs arise. By addressing each one, you are effectively installing new software.
All statements are equally true, which means you have complete control over your mind.
All that it wants and needs is proof.
