Upgrade your relationship with Truth.

Earth Body Mind Spirit with Mike D Stokes

The narrative of that is, is truly that it's a narrative. The. We don't like to think of ourselves as wrong. Basically the Prime Directive you or anyone else has is to maintain consistency in our personal identity. So let me say that again. The Prime Directive of you, once you read us reach a certain age is to maintain consistency in your idea of yourself and your idea of the world. So you will go through the world, confirming what you already see if it helps you feel better about who you are. So that's called confirmation bias is a standard psychological term, but we don't really delve into it, nobody really nobody, most people, myself, most of the time as well, don't have the time or the energy to actually dig into that narrative and see what is actually going on there. And another reason that we don't do that is because it hurts because it will make you feel potentially it will destroy your life. So if you've built a life based on you know the idea that I'm going to try to pick one, you know if you if you've based your life on the idea that corporations are destroying life on Earth. Then, when a corporation comes along and does the opposite of that. It's going to really challenge your view so you became a lawyer you are an anti corporate lawyer. And you had, if you had a view that all corporations were evil. Then you're going to be challenged. If you truly question that idea, or if you believe, like many people do that somehow Biden is going to save us all, or that somehow Trump was going to save us all those types of beliefs, and they're not facts they're beliefs, those types of beliefs are going to get you a lot of good stuff. That's the problem. It's gonna help you in a lot of ways achieve your goals, it's going to give you a community. It's going to give you business it's going to give you wealth, it's going to give you a sense of purpose. So all those things are really what make life life. If you've adopted, you know, an ideology that life begins at conception, you know, and you, then just run with that and you're, you think that all humans need to be born who are conceived. Then, if you somehow question that it's gonna rock your world. So, you know, and if you believe that somehow eating meat is going to destroy the planet. If you dig into that. And you see, and you start questioning that it's going to destroy your identity. So the point is is that we do not ask ourselves questions that destroy our sense of consistency in who we believe that we are because it's really hard because it can destroy your life because you could end up in the gutter, because your marriage could end because you could lose your job. It's super dangerous and people don't think about it that way. You just don't everybody, not everybody but most everybody most of the time runs around thinking that their view is the right view. All you got to do is look around in the world and all the myriad of religions and political views, everybody's got a slightly different tone. And what that means is that most everybody's wrong because truth is truly objective, there is truly only one truth, and that truth is the universe. It is the nature of the universe. That's the only one truth. Now everybody else spins their ideas and their narratives and their stories and their myths around that. And that's beautiful. And that's the way that we all need to live on one way. On one level but we also need to check our quinny to question. If you want to achieve. Next level of consciousness next level of effectiveness, you have to get better at seeing reality. Reality sucks. It's not fun. It doesn't help you all the time, it actually makes your life worse. Most of the time, or, let me say it this way, it makes your life worse, a lot worse, until it gets better. The problem with trying to have a dee
