Hi. I am Tom Wakechild, the best-selling author of A Course in Miracles-Dummies Series and Ending Fear: the 7R Formula for Fearless Awakening. There is a battle over what you are and who gets to determine your self-identity. Ultimately, you must decide how you choose to define yourself. If not, someone else will.
Thomas S. Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolution is the most referenced scholarly work of the 20th century. In this book, Kuhn states that scientific revolutions come from paradigm shifts that force people to adopt completely new concepts in order to make sense of their world.
There is an unsolvable problem within the old, accepted theory. Eventually someone questions the old theory and dares to look outside the generally accepted beliefs. Not trapped by past erroneous assumptions, this free thinker discovers a new theory that, if correct, will solve the mysterious problem. Although both old and new theories can handle most of the known facts, they differ in one or more basic assumptions. This makes each theory incompatible with the other. You must then choose between which theory you will follow.
Both theories provide reasonable explanations but only one provides an answer to that unsolved mystery. Some past examples of this phenomenon would be the question of the shape of the earth, Copernicus’ heliocentric model, Newton’s gravity, Einstein’s view that time was not fixed and quantum mechanics. When these new paradigms were entertained, there was an explosion of new ideas. Rather than a gradual change to the knowledge base, these paradigm shifts led to quantum leaps in knowledge.
Knowledge is now doubling every two years and still the pace is accelerating. Scientific knowledge has radically changed in our lifetimes. Yet, our society still pushes its centuries old fear-based thought system based on misperception of what we really are.
Today. we are all faced with the seemingly unsolvable problem. How can I be happy within my current fear-based thought system?
The short answer is, I can’t. The old thought system was based on an erroneous definition of what I am and therefore, it traps me in fear. It is based on separation, lack, limitation, struggle and, if you are religious, sin.
If I or you are to obtain the happiness and inner peace that we all seek and deserve, we need a new thought system based on science’s new paradigm about what we really are. You cannot escape fear when you are taught that you are an effect of your world. Our society teaches that we are a limited ego body in competition with others for the limited resources that each needs to survive. Society than decides who is to be rewarded or punished. As long as you accept that definition of who you are, you can never escape fear.
Our society’s thought system is based on outdated information that you are an effect with little or no causative powers to change your reality. Science has challenged or totally rejected that assumption. Unlike what our secular society teaches, science states that you are not the body and the body is not you. You are individuated consciousness. As such, you are a creative force in your world. Science has uncovered a power source within us that has the power to effect physical matter.
The hard sciences of physic, chemistry, biology, astronomy, physiology, neurology and medicine have all had major breakthroughs in our causative powers, yet, our fear-based thought system remains in the Stone Age. The soft sciences of psychology, sociology, anthropology and ecology all have had multiple paradigm shifts and yet, we fail to update our understanding as to what we really are. Societies cling to their old fear-based thought systems never questioning the discredited assumptions upon which these systems are based.
Why? Fear has proven to be an excellent tool to control the masses and keep the individual subservient to the elite power brokers. These power brokers have a vested interest in keeping the individual truly ignorant of the creative energy that we all possess. We are told what to think and not taught how to think.
Psychology tells us that an individual’s happiness is directly proportional to the amount of control one believes they can exert over the events in their lives. You cannot be happy when you believe you are a victim of your outside world.
Based on the new scientific discoveries about what we are, you too can obtain the information needed to successfully revolt against society’s outdated beliefs that disempower and leave you trapped in fear.
Society’s fear-based thought system can never provide the happiness and inner peace that you seek. It only guarantees perpetual fear. It can produce nothing that you want. By correcting the erroneous assumptions and brainwashing about your self-identity, you can catch up with these new scientific findings and debunk the core premises upon which fear is based. With that paradigm shift, the old fear-based thought system collapses into the rubbish heap where it belongs. Out of the ashes, a new thought system can arise that agrees with the new scientific data and redefines what you value and who you are.
If you are to learn to manager, control and eliminate fear from your life, you need to question, challenge and overthrow society’s fear-based thought system that assumes you are a victim of outside forces that are beyond your control. Society teaches you are an effect. Science has proven that as individuated consciousness, you possess a creative force that has a causative effect on your physical, mental and spiritual world.
The scientist and mathematician, Blaise Pascal, in what is now famously called “Pascal’s Wager” stated, “If you have nothing to lose and everything to win by believing and nothing to win and everything to lose by not believing, then it makes sense to believe.”
A non-fear-based thought system is possible but first you must decide if you are willing to challenge society’s definition of who and what you are. It really is a choice between possible happiness and guaranteed fear. What have you got to lose?
