EXPANDED DEFINITIONS
As you can observe “unknown” is poorly defined.
The subjects and areas of what an “unknown” covers are a
vast array of topics:
There are several forms of subjects that can all be considered types
of “unknowns.”
1. SUBJECT ILLITERACY: Without doubt, the most common
barrier to success,
prosperity and happiness, as it bars a person’s way to growth
and full
utilization of opportunities. Further, it makes a person tentative in
their
actions. The single most subject illiterate area on most people is themselves
and their lack of spiritual literacy.
2. AFRAID TO KNOW: The fear of finding out is a result
of abuse in the area of
study or responsibility. Behind this stems incidents of loss that were
caused by not knowing the full story or subject. This causes the person
to fear knowing too much, for then they will need to act. This shows
up
in life as study and literacy problems, resulting in mediocre careers.
3. PROGRAM INCIDENTS: A program incident can be environmental,
educational, or abuse activated. A person can be programmed to be mediocre
or a
failure by the people they were associated with as they grew up, or
are
presently in agreement with. Many environments demand that a person
dumb themselves down.
Being around abusive, criminal or secretive people or groups can cause
and
implant so much pain, upsets, problems and conflicting ideas in the
area of
knowledge that a person is afraid to learn, know, act and expand themselves.
Program Incidents are the biggest source of the production of doubt,
procrastination and immobility.
4. A LIE: This is a deliberate attempt to make someone
or something unknown.
5. PRETENSE: This is a false form of knowing.
6. ALTERATIONS: Saying or perceiving something and
giving it another name, description or authorship than what it is.
7. THE OMITTED: Doesn’t know that one doesn’t
know. Often caused by sheer ignorance of subject, place, time or area.
8. DENIAL: A refusal to know.
9. FALSE KNOWLEDGE: An area that one believes is true,
but, in actuality, is false.
10. FIXED IDEAS: These are ideas that once worked in
an unusual situation, that the person now believes works in all situations.
11. MIS-OWNERSHIP: This stems from believing something
is your fault, when it isn’t. Or, blaming someone else for something
you caused. This can also include mis-owning case conditions or other
life situations or problems.
12. HAVING TO BE RIGHT: This blocks the ability to
observe the truth and obtain the pure, complete knowledge.
13. INCORRECT WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, HOW OR MOOD LEVEL.
14. UNAWARENESS OF WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, HOW OR MOOD
LEVEL.
15. KNOW ABOUT: This is probably the most insidious
form of “unknown” as it
gives the proponent a false, ineffective, delusionary belief that they
know.
The truth is, they have only a vague, unworkable understanding of a
subject
or area. This is easily observable by the inability to be effective
or causative
in the area.
The “know about” person has a life of conflict, disaster,
divorce, victimization
and has very little success, prosperity or happiness. They never take
any area or
subject to a level of mastery. They live lives of desperate, miserable
mediocrity.
16. THE HIDDEN WHO: This is someone who is unknown
in the background that keeps
themselves obscured from view, who is influencing negatively those around
you, in connection to yourself, your dreams, goals, intentions, visions
and are
actively denying you the attainments of your wants in life.
Too many of the above phenomena can completely rob a Being of any positive
life force, dreams, goals, purposes, visions or aspirations. These phenomena
are what ruin lives, relationships, careers, companies and even civilizations.
The greatest and most destructive cause of problems and creations of
upsets most people have are:
THEY DON’T KNOW, THEY DON’T KNOW.
WHAT YOU “DON’T KNOW” WILL
HARM YOU!
When a Being is trapped behind a “don’t know, they don’t
know,” precept, the Being will look in the wrong place for answers.
The right answer to life can never be found. This sticks the Being on
a never ending, never resolving treadmill.
To expand oneself and one’s life upwards, it is vital that you
find your “unknowns” that are keeping you in the fixed condition
or level of existence in life.
The formula for a better life is simple:
YOU CONTINUOUSLY ERADICATE YOUR DESTRUCTIVE, SOUL-DESTROYING UNKNOWNS,
AT THE SAME TIME, CONSTANTLY REPLACE THEM WITH WINNING, CAUSATIVE AND
EFFECTIVE LIFE-ENHANCING KNOWLEDGE.
If you want to increase your successes in life, eradicate your unknowns
and increase your knowledge.
If you want to increase your prosperity or income, eradicate your unknowns
and increase your knowledge.
If you want to have a more meaningful, worthwhile life, eradicate your
unknowns and increase your knowledge.
If you want happier, more rewarding relationships, eradicate your unknowns
and increase your harmony and knowledge.
