Module 1: The Foundations
“You don’t see the world the way it is, you see the world the way you are.”
The Universal Truth
The Universal Truth for How Life Works applies to all humans, like gravity.
The Universal Truth is that all circumstances are neutral – what happens in the world and has happened in the past, including the actions of other people, is fact and without positive or negative qualities.
Nothing is good or bad, right or wrong, better or worse, positive or negative until a mind has a thought about it.
Thoughts create emotions that lead to feelings in a body.
Feelings drive all actions; we act to feel good or avoid feeling bad.
Actions determine results based on the law of cause and effect.
All of the results in our life, therefore, begins with a thought we have about a neutral circumstance.
Results are neutral, they become circumstances, and re-enforce the original thought.
We use this as evidence to support our beliefs and perpetuate our experience in the world.
