a THREAD on TRUTH and TRUST

1. A lot of infos are coming up and it becomes hard to know what is TRUE and what is FALSE.

As a consequence, it is hard to know who you should TRUST and who you should DISREGARD.

Let's have a little BRAINGYM on all that.

Follow me would you?

2. In our civilization, we learn to think in term of TRUE or FALSE.

It is a bivalent thinking.

Everything is BLACK or WHITE in our heads, and even when we Don't know, we tend to jump to one side or the other.

3. Yet, in other civilization, they use TETRAVALENCE.

TETRAVALENCE can be resumed like this:
1. TRUE (Yellow)
2. FALSE (Red)
3. TRUE or FALSE (Orange)
4. Not TRUE nor FALSE (Blue)

Let's forget for a moment the fourth option and dig a bit deeper into the third one, TRUE or FALSE

4. In our civilization, our brains are feeling very uncomfortable when we are in the state of "TRUE or FALSE", because we are not used to think in such terms and we WANT THE TRUTH, sometimes at all costs.

Can we train ourself to stay in the "ORANGE" zone?
How could we do that?

5. A good training for that is MAGIC.

Magic is an Art where the game for the performer is to hide the TRUTH to his audience.

In that Art, an extra challenge is when a magician performs for another magician, trying to fool him.

Watch this trick f.ex.:

6. To do such a trick, there is one method that is TRUE.

If you want to understand that trick, you'll need to make guesses that are TRUE or FALSE.

Staying in the "ORANGE" zone helps you to think further.

It is a kind of "STAND BY" mode, you accept that you DON'T KNOW!

7. Keeping the AWARENESS that something may be TRUE or may be FALSE (orange) is IMO more powerful than just ignoring Something.

It gives you the opportunity to think further and most of the time, you'll get your answer later on the way, as you continue to dig for TRUTH.

8. Training this "third" state of mind (TRUE or FALSE) is very enriching, as you can approach many questions by throwing them directly into the "ORANGE" zone, not caring about if really TRUE.

Myself, for some "magic tricks", it took me 10 years before I could learn the TRUTH.

9. Now, what if we use that state of mind (ORANGE) for more general questions:

- Was 9/11 an INSIDE JOB?
- Are VACCINES good for health?
- Is there LIFE on other planets?

If we can accept that the answers are TRUE or FALSE, we can approach them with the curiosity of a child.

10. So goes for much discussed topics here on twitter:

- Is #Qanon a CONSPIRACY?
- Is @TS_SCI_MAJIC12 a LARP?
- Is @AustinSteinbart a FRAUD?

For me, if those are TRUE it's AWESOME, if FALSE, it's even MORE INCREDIBLE!

I am being CURIOUS, and I DON'T CARE if true or not.

11. In particular, some information are mostly TRUE and hides some FALSE intel in the SAME TIME.

All the above questions are such a case. "Disinformation is nessecary" is the quote.

Magicians are EXPERTS in playing with the TRUTH to mislead you into their path.

Great BRAINGYM!
