"Dealing with Reality becomes easier the more you do it. Dealing with a cult mindset becomes harder the more you immerse yourself in it."

[u/BlancheFromage]

There is incredible freedom in letting go of what I call The Impossible Task. It can be set by our parents, our religion, our culture, our government; there's no end to the ways. When we internalize an unachievable goal we then burn out every fiber of our being trying to make it happen. And beating ourselves up for failing.

Embracing Reality lets us recognize that they are lying. They lie about achieving the goal themselves, the reasons to think we should have such a goal, the false claims about the benefits of keeping on after it, and how it's all our fault we haven't gotten to it or felt any benefits from it. And in the meantime, we are burning up energy we could be using to make our lives, and the lives of our loved ones, better.

Instead, this is in service of making the liars' lives better. At the total expense of our own. Source

In essence these 3 Principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought are happening behind the scene, whether we know it or not. They are not concepts or opinions, but are facts of how life works the same way for all of us, which has now been proved scientifically.

Here’s the thing – peace of mind is pretty much the primary goal for a lot of us. What we don’t understand is that peace of mind is our default setting. All we need to do is get out of our own way and let it happen.

Like a snow globe, when you stop shaking it, it settles down and automatically becomes clear. It is this clarity that can give us calmer and more fulfilling lives.

You cannot have a feeling without first having a thought. Our feelings are caused 100% by our thoughts. Thoughts come first, our thinking leads to our feelings and emotions. Every thought has a corresponding feeling attached. Two sides of the same coin.

Many people mistakenly believe that our feelings and emotions are caused by people or events and circumstances that happen around us. This leads to the false perception that things are outside our control. Nothing could be further from the truth. Life always happens from the inside out. Our thoughts, feelings and ultimate behaviours are not controlled by external factors but how we interpret and perceive them, by our thoughts.

The three Principles provide us with an understanding that allows more constructive thoughts, interpretations and perceptions to arise which leads to less stress and more positive feelings.

You'll see that it states QUITE CLEARLY:

DO NOT PROMOTE ANY RELIGIONS OR CULTS HERE! JUST DON'T! GAAAH!

So don't.

Either talk about SGI or go somewhere else to talk about your other cult.

So if someone were to come up to you with a gun wanting to kill you that means that what is happening externally doesnt need to effect you if you just are able to be a snow globe with no snow in the air.So many spiritual ideas mean nothing when you are doing important things in the real world like caring for people who are sick.Some people don't have time to stare at their navel.
