Mental Map of Living: 11-18-2025

1. Event or environment.
2. Filter directing focus (survival, security, salient, expansive, pleasure, pain, memories, habits, conditioning, training).
3. Focus sensing on some environmental signals based on the filters (interpretations) used.
4. Sensations from sensing select signals.
5. Filters used to determine sensations as benefiting, not affecting, or harming us, our life, our family or group, and our ego, and those interpretations determine how the sensations will be regarded.
6. Based on our sensations being regarded (interpreted) as positive, neutral, negative, or mixed, we will have positive, neutral, negative, or mixed feelings.
7. Based on our positive, neutral, negative, or mixed feelings, we will have positive, neutral, negative, or mixed intentions regarding them.
8. Based on our positive, neutral, negative, or mixed intentions, we will have positive, neutral, negative, or mixed thoughts regarding them.

10. Based on our positive, neutral, negative, or mixed responses, we will receive back positive, neutral, negative, or mixed responses from others, groups, and whatever we respond to, to varying degrees (feedback), depending on their sensations of our responses.

The Observer Is the Observed: 11-17-2025

1. It is said that the observer is the observed by an observer about something they observed.
2. There is no life or movement without an observer and an observed; for example, the observer eats their observed food.
3. The observer is the observed when both are composed of thought, because both are thought (one substance); this is the case with the material and spiritual ego (self-esteem).
4. Observing yourself as a mental object using a mental object makes the observed and the observer of the same nature (mental objects, semantic objects, thought-things), not the same or a single process.
5. Be the silent and still host observing its contents, which are the observed. This process allows for truth and egolessness because you are the host that hosts, nothing more or less. The host is not the same nature as what it hosts, so the observer is not the observed.

Focus First: 11-16-2025

1. Check your focus and switch it to better.
2. Focusing on positive goals feeds positive goals and vice versa.
3. Switching your focus from negative to positive sensations can solve many problems.
4. For success when performing, focus on positive goals and feed them positive sensations while standing and starving negative sensations.
5. Focus guides your senses and your senses provide sensations, which lead to your feelings, which lead to your intentions, which lead to your responses.

Sensations Are Experience, Not You: 11-15-2025

1. You are not your sensations.
2. Your sensations are not about what or who you are.
3. Your sensations determine your feelings, not who you are.
4. Your sensations are not all-inclusive, meaning they do not cover the entirety of any experience, because there is always more to be sensed and discovered.
5. Your sensations come from the selective processes of your focus (attention). They can lead to selective abstraction, in which conclusions are drawn from only one or a few elements of an event or experience.
6. Stop personalizing your sensations; understand they originate from sensing, that your focus controls your sensing, and that your survival, conditioning, habits, and experiences control your focus.

Spiritual Ego Is Not the Answer: 11-11-2025

1. How do you overcome the problem of good and evil?
2. The simple trick in Eastern mysticism is to stop trying to be like the good energy inside and to claim that you are the good energy inside (identify with it rather than yourself).
3. There is the host, the good, and the desire to be, know, and do the good. It is this desire to be, know, and do the good that leads to your serving a mix of good and evil as your flesh tries to do good and fails, leaving only a portion for the good to do.
4. In Eastern mysticism, the duality of the good versus the self is overcome by claiming that the self is the good. This lie pleases the ego and stops you from interfering with or struggling with the good. Any good actions are now used to claim that your self-esteem (ego, self-concepts, self-images) is the good (allness, atman, bodhi, cosmic consciousness, enlightenment, God, liberation, oneness, moksha, nirvana, universal self, universal soul, universe).
5. You cannot overcome the problem of good and evil. The good news is that the Lord Jesus Christ did overcome the problem of good and evil, and you partake of that overcoming through His death and resurrection.

Learn Not to Learn: 11-10-2025

“Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.” —Psalm 4:4

3. You must realize that you cannot realize.
4. You must understand that you cannot understand.
5. You must have the insight that you cannot have insight.
6. Be the still and silent vessel that entertains, not try to be, know, and do what you entertain, causing conflict and failure.
7. Entertain insight, learning, and understanding without claiming them as or for your own.

Thousands of Years of Human Failure: 11-09-2025

1. After thousands of years, the world still offers no way to become good, only ways to appear good.
2. After thousands of years, the world still offers no methods to improve human nature, only ways to fake improving it.
3. After thousands of years, the world still offers no systems of belief or faith to follow for salvation, only ways to claim it that ignore that it is a gift from God.
4. After thousands of years, the world still offers no systems of philosophy or psychology to follow for salvation, only ways to claim it that ignore that it is a gift from God.
5. After thousands of years, the world still offers no systems of culture, ethics, and government that can tame human nature, only ways to try to tame it that ultimately bring out the worst (death, darkness, destruction).

Trans Is Neither Logical Nor Sane: 11-08-2025

1. If you are your body, transitioning your body into another body is impossible because you are your chromosomes, gonads, and phenotype. To claim you were born wrong is to claim the body misassembled itself, which is nonsensical. The conclusion is that there can be no such thing as trans if you are your body.
2. If you are not your body but something else (heart, soul, mind, spirit, spiritual vessel), the state of the body has nothing to do with who or what you are. The conclusion is that trans is irrelevant to being you if you are not your body.
3. If you are your mind, transitioning your body to resemble another body does not change your mind. If your mind cares about appearances, then it can play games with the body’s looks, but it is not what is important or matters most to you as a mind. The conclusion is that transitioning is irrelevant to being you because you are your mind, and it is just a game for show and tell.
4. If you are your mind and body, then transitioning your body to appear as the other of the two sexes you believe important and to exist (male, female) can result in cosmetic surgery, not chromosome, gonad, and phenotype change. The conclusion is that there was no error in cosmic assembly, but only a strong desire to appear as what you are not for nonsensical self-esteem (ego, self as dead concepts and images) reasons.
5. Transitioning is not a cure for anything, and studies are showing that it increases suicidal rates, not decreases them. Children cannot understand the consequences and ramifications of giving up their reproductive rights. Children cannot understand the long-term consequences and ramifications of mutilating their bodies. Protect children from dangerous fads. Protect children’s rights to develop normally before making life-changing decisions they cannot understand. There are historical reasons why children cannot choose to have tattoos, drink alcohol, drive cars, consent to sex with adults, or smoke cigarettes. Let children be children again.

Your Act of Faith Cannot Save You: 11-07-2025

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” —Ephesians 2:8

1. You cannot claim salvation by any act of faith because it is the gift of God.
2. You cannot claim salvation by any act of belief because it is the gift of God.
3. You cannot claim salvation by any act of works because it is the gift of God.
4. You cannot claim salvation by any combination of faith, belief, and works because it is the gift of God.
5. Claiming salvation by an act of faith is sinning because faith comes through the grace of God, not you first seeking God, but God first seeking you.
6. To make any claim to do any good denies that you are born of flesh and need God to save you from yourself through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Overcome Your Mental Chaos: 11-05-2025

Use this five-step exercise to end the anarchy and chaos in your mind.

1. Step One: Set up a screening system for thoughts. It will be strict, like airport security, passport applications, border checks, and entering a military base.
2. Step Two: Ask the thoughts your favorite questions, such as, “Who are you?” “Why are you here?” “Where will you be living?” “What are your intentions?” “Who do you work for?” “Who are you visiting?” “When will you leave?” “Can you show me your ID?”
3. Step Three: Require all thoughts to pledge allegiance to God and to serve God or to depart immediately, never to return.
4. Step Four: Organize a system for your thoughts to live inside of and under. It will be most effective as a legal system composed of God’s laws or as a form of government that puts God first in all things.
5. Step Five: Immediately kick out all thoughts that do not follow God’s laws and rules—no debates, excuses, questions, second chances, or trials allowed.

Experience the Self: 11-04-2025

1. The experience of the self is the experience of a living host, empty and without motive other than to serve.
2. The experience of the self is the experience of a living host that does not exist, know, or do anything independently.
3. Regarding self-constructions (ego, self-esteem) as experiences of the self is to debase, defraud, and dehumanize the self, treating it as a dead thing.
4. There is only one God. You are not a mini god. You have and do nothing positive without God. All good comes from God. Good can only come through you, not from you.
5. There is only one source. You are the source of nothing. All attribution of good goes to God alone. All attribution of evil goes to flesh and its seeking death, darkness, and destruction. Choose one to serve. At the end, either be part of the dead memories of flesh when it had animation and lost it forever, or live as part of the kingdom of God, glorifying God and His continuing and ever-expanding goodness.

General Semantics Is Obviously True (GS): 11-02-2025

“Promise them anything, but give them poverty.” —Communist Program

1. Thinking is useful only insofar as it is not confused with what it is thinking about.
2. Words are useful tools to indicate realities they can never fully represent or hope to delineate.
3. You can talk on the phone to a starving person about all kinds of food, but your talking will never feed them.
4. You can sympathize with the pain of a woman giving birth. However, your sympathy will never carry the experience or share the pain.
5. Language is separate from what it is about; however, the more educated you are, the more likely you are to confuse language with reality.
