Learning How To Learn, So You Can Make a Difference; by James Arjuna

I believe the Buddha answered this question clearly based on objective observations of humans.

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”

Note: I do not believe the Buddha to even be close to full enlightenment, nor does any real master or anointed one.  All he did was set and observe and stop his mind. From there he realized the world is full of human emotional mental garbage. That is a far as he got. Stopping your emotions, mind and Babylon's thoughts and constant brain garbage is good, but from there you need God's Grace to be saved. Mostly the Buddha renounced the world, which is what any sane person would do, once they realize how evil the world is. That is still taught today in pure Buddhism, but these "high mucky mucks" just cannot stay out of politics. 

My parents had a much more modern version:  "Don't believe anyone.  I don't care who they are.  People are full of s##t and stupid beliefs from their upbringing, education, and prejudices.  Find the truth for yourself."

In other words  being accredited (university degree, Nobel prize, or any idea of intelligence, wisdom as believed by man at one time in history)  is no more a reason to believe than any other reason.  Being accredited by those rich elites is a reason to NOT believe anything they teach.  And the most important issue regarding truth is:  "If the teacher is paid, there is little or no truth."   You can easily test this by looking at the source of the money and the controls over the "dogma" or "doctrine" are there to insure the people involved get money to pay these teachers with.   It doesn't take a genius to realize that preachers and teachers who teach for money are really excellent examples of the "blind leading the blind", in to a pit of suffering and death. 

Throughout history the, so called,  "greatest minds" have all believed in government, church,  nonsense and taught that in the universities   There is no difference now.   

Absolute Evidence

When a science education system is based on ideas that DO  have  absolutely irrefutable physical evidence, that you can see, test, verify, and repeat the test over in any location and have the same exact results, then you have functional science.  We do not see this sort of evidence ever in Evolution classes. 

Ideology of the politicians of the time are often disguised as "education".  This has always been true.  And we know that none of those ideologies are truth because they constantly change.

  "If it was Truth, 

It would never change." 

If you  are not seeking the truth of the matter in all things, then you are only seeking to perpetuate beliefs, ideology, and human emotionally driven faith that may or may not have any truth in it at all.  Or tiny bits of truth mixed in with HEMG (human emotional mental garbage)

Objective Awareness;

Objective awareness comes when you are in control of your mind and not under emotional controls of society or any outside emotional force. The KEY WORDs are "NEGATIVE EMOTIONAL FORCES".  If they cannot back up what they say or teach with absolutely clear irrefutable, RATIONAL evidence then you  can rest assured it is not true. This is how you gain control over your education and become productive.  If what you  base your science on is fallacious then your work will lead to nothing of value, or worse you can harm other people in your ignorance. ( This is them most common result (suffering) of ignorance than any other effect of "brain-mind control" from society.)

Money is often used as an emotional force to make people believe or they simply will not get a "degree": no degree = no money.  

This sort of emotional coercion to conform and forced beliefs in crap science, to some expected faith based ideology of the society, is destructive to science.

This emotionally driven force is the cause of extremely obvious obstructions to advancements in science (truth seeking).   It has always been this way.

If they tell you that Truth does not exist, run far from them.  Because it is totally irrational brainwashed garbage used to control you.  You get strong and tell them: "In every event, occurrence, happening, scientific reaction, experiment, or piece of evidence; there is the truth (cause and effect) to exactly what took place or what is taking place, AND that is what science is about."  

The System Of Things:  

Using the system in your  favor.   It is possible to go through and learn all that humans have to offer in terms of education and never believe a single irrational belief that has been imposed (emotional coercion, fear of loss or fear of failure $) on you.   You have to be spiritually strong and only USE them for your ends of getting a degree and get out and away from these paid shills of government and corporate morons.  

You can answer the questions as they are expected to be answered in order to get your degree, but that does not mean you are forced to believe any of them.

It is only when you have absolutely irrefutable physical evidence that is obvious to you that you can accept any premise theory or and then and only then can you  make a rational conclusion.  This is what all the Truth seekers have done for all times. 

Emotional Controls of false Authority:

Authority from the system of things as we have at anyone time, are simply those who conformed to the system of authority of any one time and they become the paid producers of the belief systems.  This is why really stupid ideas take generations to be removed from science IF EVER. Like this idea of Pangaea, which has no evidence and defies the laws of physics for the earth (but it is opposite to what the Bible teaches and therefore has Satanic roots.)  So ideas like Pangaea which defies most every form of physical science we know of, is still taught as if it has evidence. 

It doesn't mean they are bad people, but they ARE PEOPLE, with all the weaknesses, emotions, ideology, faith prejudices and beliefs,  that humans have.  The most kind and loving people can mislead you (causing further suffering for you) as much as any other type of person.

Using peers to control you is a common approach.  Having your "friends" and "associates" or "other scientists", "congregation members", ridicule you or harm you, if you don't agree with the mass of them, is a powerful force used to control you.  It is a horrible thing in reality. It makes people feel bad for trying to have any objective thoughts or to question the authority or to seek to see if there is any real evidence at all. The more screwed up a faith based ideology is the more, disgusting peer coercion is used.  

Remember that Galileo spent his old age in his home as a prison, because he dared to publish his findings.  They tortured and killed the only Perfect and loving man to ever walk the earth. 

So, basically, you  must find the Truth for yourself, and stop simply laying down for any authority, any other person.

Once you start to realize the Truth, that is the path you stay on.
