The Trifecta of Human Wisdom

Have you ever said something like “I knew deep down he was lying but I went along with it?”

What does this mean?
How did you know?
Why did you “go along”?

Just think about it for a second. What you’re actually saying is, your body was sending you the very warning signals Nature built into our bodies to detect deceivers, and you ignored your own self. This “deep down” is not some far away unreachable thing that we can’t actually be, but is our true authentic selves calling our names from underneath layers of self deception.

I knew deep down he was lying but I went along with it
I knew deep down he was lying
I knew deep down
I knew

I knew? I knew??? I KNEW!!!!

How exactly do we “just know”? Is it really honest to blindly accept the answer “I just know”, about anything? Let’s be real about it – literally any deceiver can say that about any false thing, right? Is there perhaps an actual scientifically observed and demonstrable truth to “just knowing?” Well simply enough, the answer is yes, and many philosophical minds throughout the ages have exposed the science of human wisdom, some even to their own detriment.

Why did the turtle cross the road? Well, it’s because a loving human being stopped and helped it across. Why wouldn’t it cross, in fact? The most obvious thing that can realistically stop the turtle from crossing, is being run over by a completely oblivious ignorant jerk, not living in tune with the authentic calling of their actual loving human heart. Which, requires us to give focused and caring consideration to the wildlife in our travels. The ignorant feel guilty, after the fact, for killing that turtle in a tunnel visioned stampede of a traveling affair. The wise account for the possibility and probability of encountering the wildlife, with focused persistence on their safety with the genuine loving affection of a caretaker of Nature. Where ignorance feels guilt, wisdom feels the joy of love and knowing we helped, rather than hurt, the existence of other harmless, weaker, less intelligent or able life forms that we encounter.

Always beware any deceiver who would seek to incite any feelings of hatred for our fellow man. These are not seekers or speakers of truth, but recruiters for war and eventually cannon fodder. Love is the natural law of the human heart, and I intend to obey the law of my body thank you, which tells me to love instead, and makes me feel bad for disobeying it. Perhaps there’s a line of distinction that they’re failing to accommodate for – which says I can be disappointed in my fellow man for making obviously poor choices, and still love them and want what’s best for them and their family, without hatred. I didn’t fail to account for it. I see it quite clearly.

A person who tries to talk me out of what I feel in my heart cannot possibly be my “friend”. After all, isn’t our loving heart one of the particular qualifiers for the defining terms of “humanity?” Don’t we say things like “where’s the humanity,” when we see cruelty? If you don’t, you might need to perform a deep interior analysis on yourself to make sure you haven’t, in fact, been turned into a heartless robot tin-man – because the human being, by nature, has a loving heart. Honestly considering it’s implications and effects in all situations forms a solid impenetrable wall that no deceiver can possibly penetrate with any intention of an outcome of hatred. Honestly recognizing what our hearts are telling us, in every instance of every choice we make, is a structural foundation of human wisdom. Ignoring what our hearts are telling us, in any instance, to favor a bigoted illusion, is a structural foundation of human ignorance. Fancy, that.

Every time I’ve ever ignored or disrespected the calling of my own heart, I’ve suffered the interior consequence called “guilt”. Every time I’ve given this calling my honest focus and respect, I’ve felt great joy and pride of accomplishment. If this has happened to you as well, then let us resolve, together, that we must never ignore this calling , practicing love all of the time, without discrimination, by the very order of Nature aka “natural law”. It is not enough for the human heart to “do no harm,” we must also nurture and protect to fulfill it’s actual physical demands on our bodies.

No matter what the truth is of anything, it should never cause the person to see it to hate. In fact, I would posit, only those dishonest to the calling of their own hearts need hatred as an alibi. The hate serves as a dishonest substitution for the real guilt they’re actually feeling under that mask.

Love is a foundational tenet of all human wisdom. It is the driving force of our true human purpose here as protectors and caretakers of Nature.

There’s really no other way to describe it but a “gut feeling.” The reason it’s called this (and that there’s really no other way to describe it) is because it is actually a feeling that comes from our real gut. Have you ever had the feeling you were being watched, and when you turned to look, actually did see someone watching you? It was the gut that sounded the alarm and told your brain to stop whatever else it was doing, and focus for a second because something isn’t sitting right. It is the gut that instinctually tells our brains “don’t be prey”.

The gut is also the source of courage and its counterpart cowardice too – neither one are necessarily “all-wise” to empower all of the time, but each can be its own wise decision in any specific moment. Sometimes courage is the wise response, and sometimes cowardice is the right response, and it’s our gut that tell us this truth in each specific moment of it happening. For example, courage is probably not the best response if you’re camping in the woods and approached by a wild lion or bear – and your gut won’t have any problem whatsoever letting you know the wise decision in those events. In fact, it won’t have any problem letting you know the truth or wise decision, practically ever. It’s the brain’s “zoom out” that takes all the information we were focusing in on and brings it all into one picture, kind of like an autostereogram. It is our gut that makes the sense of it all and final decider of what’s a wise choice and not so wise choice in any given moment of decision.

Guts aren’t just for digesting food and incubating babies. Called by many folks “the sixth sense”, gut instinct is also our internal security system that lets our brains know something’s not right around here. The gut doesn’t know exactly what is wrong with the situation, but only that (something) isn’t sitting right, and requires actual work from the brain to figure it out because the current understanding isn’t adding up to a settled gut.

It’s probably not necessary to spent too much time on the gut. Once it’s brought up, it’s kind of hard to NOT know the described feeling. The most important thing to understand about it is to never ignore it and account for it honestly at all times. There might be false alarms sometimes, and after honest investigation we find that our gut was worried about nothing – but we will never again be caught in a position or situation that our gut didn’t try to save us from. Always paying attention with our thinking focus, to the signals our bodies are sending our brain; accounting for them honestly and providing for them in our decision makings and state of situational awareness.

The honestly thinking mind is the final piece of the puzzle that solidifies the trifecta to become impenetrable by any deception. Unfortunately in our society, most people have not been taught how to use their thinking minds; and even those who have, were not taught to use them honestly or with any sense of authenticity whatsoever. It’s not a requirement of the school curriculum in any way. What’s required in school, is the accurate articulate parroting of an established narrative. A good memory and a will to obey the established narrative with absolutely no honest questioning thought of skepticism whatsoever, can probably get you quite far in Plastic-land.

In fact, I’ve noticed most people in American society didn’t even need a large brain, a human heart, or courage; and would have done just fine in this life with a bird brain and a beak, living in a cage, reciting their favored media scripts for a cracker. Such an embarrassment for the human species.

The human brain is an information processor; constantly receiving information signals from the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, heart, gut, and nerve endings – the brain interprets it all simultaneously. Most people are not taught this, and the schools don’t teach this. In fact it’s closer to their system that the human brain is an information storage unit, gradually programmed for 12 -18 years by an unseen third party. (See the works of John Taylor Gatto for more info on that)

In the schools, using our brains is under-glorified and sometimes even punished for favor of the accurate articulate parroting of some particular structured narrative. It seems like the only time the established authority wants us to use our brains, is while we’re sitting in jury duty – because that’s the only time they actually give us anything real of an explanation for it. There, we need evidence, testimony from witnesses, arguments from both sides. Our literal duty there is to make a clear sound judgment “beyond a reasonable doubt”, in honest observation of all the presented facts.

Why do “they” only want us doing this in jury duty, though? Why wouldn’t an honest authority, want us putting on honest trial, literally everything we know? Is it perhaps because a deceiver would rather not be put on trial? Is it perhaps because such an honest trial might expose that you didn’t teach us how to use our brains, on purpose? In fact, specifically went out of your way to teach us how NOT to use it, well done! So that Wall Street could take advantage and capitalize and live like fat ticks off of other’s artificially imposed ignorance. Connivingly brilliant minds… But, that’s for another post.

“Beyond a reasonable doubt” is not just some kind of slogan. Doubt is the microscope of the brain that has an absolute need to take a real good and close look at that information, rather than just blindly accepting it at face value (belief). What’s obvious, is that the truth doesn’t magically change and become false by taking a really good and close look at it under our microscope of honest skepticism. If it’s actually the truth, the microscope is just going to confirm that’s the truth after all, isn’t it? What’s obvious, is that it’s only lies, falsities, and illusions that fall apart into nothingness, like the houses of cards they actually are, when we introduce a gust of wind like asking honest questions.

Doubt is asking ourselves “what if this information is false?”, the implications of it being both true and false, weighing their respective probabilities standing next to the evidence and witness testimonies. Doubt doesn’t mean “I don’t believe you”, which is what practically all religion teaches their following herds. It means, we already know that the truth is a solid stone in that gust of wind, and does not budge. It remains the truth and in fact, typically becomes even MORE obvious by taking a closer look at it. Integrity means being honest with ourselves about this part over here not adding up. It means I’m going to subject that idea to the gust of wind of asking and answering honest questions about it, before I accept it. And really, only a liar or deceiver could possibly have any kind of problem with this.

If I had a lie to sell you, I would not, I think, wish to be doubted. In fact, a person who engages in honest doubt and skepticism is automatically practically immune to the woos of over 90% of deception tactics; which really require a blind faith and belief with absolutely no honest skepticism or scrutiny involved whatsoever to survive. I’ll even use myself as an example here, as earlier I boldly made the claim that “Love is the driving force of our true human purpose here as protectors and caretakers of Nature”. So why don’t you try it? Use your own brain and think about it, take as long as you need to put my claim through the ringer of honest questions in your own mind. Does the claim magically become false? Or does it still stand, regardless and, in fact, even more obviously the truth, now that you thought about it deeper than surface words?

The truth can and will survive all reasonable doubt. After all the rigorous questioning and skepticism, it will still be standing there quite obvious and plain as day, never being able to be definitively ruled out; and this is particularly why “beyond a reasonable doubt” is a requirement of conviction, both in the courts and in what’s allowed to occupy an honest human being’s mind as “the truth”. If any logical sound reason or evidence exists that this thing is NOT the truth, our honest minds must acquit.

It’s a great feeling of self empowerment to understand that our own brains are capable of deciphering fact from fiction, truth from false, for its own self. That we don’t have to rely on other people for our understandings, when we are perfectly capable of figuring out our own honest understandings with our own honest, rationally thinking minds. Putting literally everything occupying our minds on honest trial, and only the truth can stay. What others want me to believe, and even what I wanted to believe, must go if they don’t pass the test of honest critique. Truth doesn’t care too much or magically become false in real life by the human desire for it to be false. It is us who must bend to the truth, or risk living in falsehood.

The honest human being, in authentic tune with his or her own loving heart, thinking mind, and gut instinct, cannot possibly become deceived. One or all of these things will sound the internal alarm for us when things aren’t adding up right. Every human being is designed by nature with their own personal deception detectors, and a significant effort exists to keep people in the dark about this and rely on third party “think tanks” to do our thinking (and even more so, our feeling) for us.

The primary catalyst for this accomplishment is the indoctrination of artificial character or in-authenticity. Which can only be accomplished by convincing the children to not be themselves; to hide their true selves and put on masks in specific companies and conditions. This causes the growing brain to permanently distrust it’s own self, leaving it no other other option but to trust from the exterior. If there is one thing absolutely necessary for deceivers to exist, are people who don’t trust themselves and seeking someone else to tell them what’s true and false, and even how to be human beings.

What’s ironic about the phenomenon is that we actually know how to be human beings “deep down”. If we’re putting on any type of mask, for any reason at any time, and not living true to the authentic callings of our own heart, mind, and gut – we’re not doing “life” wrong, we’re doing ourselves wrong. Life is going to still keep on going out here while we delude and sabotage ourselves. There is no reward for the exchange of our true authentic self, and the pain of inner knowing. The honest joy, however, obtained by living true to our authentic mask-less character; cannot possibly be purchased, not even by a dude with a money printer.

Being honest and in tune with our authenticity requires us to waiver when demonstrated to be incorrect, (and even ‘possibly’ incorrect). Making mistakes is a very honest human feature, so those who pretend like they don’t make them can only possibly be liars. In deceiving ourselves, we continue to make the same mistakes over and over and over again. Causing our own pain and suffering the entire time (along with everyone in our lives along the way), with only spontaneous bursts of joy here and there – or more appropriately, illusions of joy. It is particularly the honest correction of our mistakes that puts us closer in line with our authentic selves and the truth, with every shed falseness or deviance from authenticity.

It’s not ironic, that when we make the corrections, the pains stop happening. It’s not ironic, that I suffered a consequence inside for ignoring the callings of my gut, my heart, or my rationally thinking mind, for fancy of a beautiful illusion. Cause/Effect is a natural law of our reality, and nature makes no exceptions for our inflated egos.

Of course, this is not to say that it’s wise to take on the burden of responsibility for everything wrong in the world, but simply to honestly acknowledge the accountability we actually do possess, and the duty we each have individually to the callings of our authentic selves to make this place better, for ourselves and all other life we share this reality with. Ignorance is a significant problem among the human species generally – and while we cannot make people change to become wise, we can make the focused effort to critique ourselves the most honestly we possibly can, to assure that we aren’t ourselves, in fact, contributors to the ignorance.

A person who authentically lives in harmony with the true callings of their loving heart, gut instinct, and their honest, rationally thinking mind, has chosen the wise path of navigating human life. Our loving hearts will guarantee that we are never the monster in someone (or something) else’s life. Gut instinct protects us from spontaneous victim-hood and the obvious deceptions of predators and parasites. Our thinking minds constantly gathering information, demanding a deep thorough analysis and investigation to determine the not so obvious – which the gut also recognizes when it actually sees with thinking clarity, what it before only vaguely felt. The solid tandem connection between all three interior tools of human wisdom cannot be penetrated by any deception or deceiver; and due to this, a significant effort is delivered by deceivers with economic and social power to separate us from our authenticity. A deceiver can only possibly deceive or mislead a person out of touch with their authenticity and seeking from outside what we actually possess inside. Even when we see the harsh truths written by others, we only honestly recognize what we already knew “deep down”, and were dishonestly disregarding (ignorance).

All falsehood deters the human being from the wise path of navigating human life. Every dishonest deviation from our true authentic mask-less self suffers a real consequence inside. The most honest among us wear the deep down out here on the surface; no faces, no white lies or sugarcoating, saying what we actually think and feel, in no matter what company. Honestly correcting ourselves when demonstrated to be incorrect. Critiquing ourselves thoroughly, absolutely no deception period can possibly be allowed to occupy the honest, wise human being’s mind. Making the honest correction makes us actually correct next time. Only the truth, can possibly be wisely navigated.

Personally, I’ve had to suffer my own abhorrence many times. Many more times than I probably should have, even. I’m apparently a pretty slow learner. I was not actually a rationally thinking mature honest adult until well into my 30’s. Figuring out that my dishonest behaviors were completely unnecessary; where before I had considered intelligent deceptive wit something of a survival mechanic, was nothing short of an astonishing and self enlightening mind blower. It’s not a survival mechanic, that’s just a lie deceiver’s tell themselves so they don’t have to stop lying. They don’t want to stop lying. We must stop lying though, before we deceive ourselves into destroying ourselves.

Thankfully, I no longer have to be concerned with being faced with my own abhorrence – as I’ve made honest amends with those I know I’ve wronged quite a while ago, and have since stopped wronging. Now I live in honest tune with my heart, mind, and gut at all times and in all situations – giving all signals by body is sending my brain the honest attention they deserve, ignoring nothing for favor of a hypnotically entrancing deception. It’s strange, I don’t have to deceive myself to pretend other people are the problem in our society any more. By honestly fixing myself, one forgotten flaw at a time, instead of just pretending – now I know they are.
