Journal Entry: 1-12-2012: We really are subjective creatures, deeply and immediately overwhelmed and impressed upon by what is happening to us and around us right now. Right here at this moment is the center of the universe. That is how we naturally react to and perceive things.
With this in mind, we must learn to think logically and dispassionately about what is happening to us. We must build objectivity into our conclusions. As part of our thinking and consciousness, a little objectivity separates us from how we feel in reaction to something occurring under our noses. Our conclusions will be a bit less short-sighted, knee-jerk reacting, parochial or jingoistic.
Those among us that become self-realizers, individualist, moderate and rational are repeatedly seeing the world through detached, impartial eyes. It is much more difficult to steer them to gullibility, credulity, hopelessness or acting panicky.
Where people are subjective, emotional, groupist, passive, or unexposed to competing ideas and outlooks, it is easier by far to steer and direct them. They will not wonder why, question, interrupt, investigate or compare the con man's spiel to the points of view from vying others.
