effort, we can become conscious of the structure of these models. Upon gaining this awareness, we become empowered to lucidly compare and contrast them with other models. what is taking place. The problem is that, for most of these people, the idea of chemtrails is itself so far outside the scope of their “go-to” mental models that they are physically unable to see what is blatantly taking place all around them. THAT is the power of an unexamined model! But we need not worry, for a simple exercise, if practiced regularly, is sufficient to not only bring us clarity about what is going on in our own minds, but can also eventually lead us to the development of genuine visionary/imaginative skill comparable to that possessed by Tesla (as well as thousands of others whose names are less well known). Keep in mind that we are not saying this is easy to do, but rather that it is possible with sufficient effort; and, in any event, your goal should have nothing to do with emulating or comparing yourself to Tesla, but rather with developing your own unique comprehension of Nature: Image Source AN EXERCISE FOR UNEARTHING UNEXAMINED MODELS AND BELIEFS Contemplate deeply the following: you have an internal map in your mind of such things as the neighborhood where you live, how the solar system works, how the world economy works, etc., and these models all necessarily carry certain implications that further inform the way you perceive the world in which you live. Your ability to think coherently and deliberately — as opposed to randomly and reflexively — is dependent on the degree to which you possess present-moment awareness of the models that govern your thinking. In fact, unexamined models can lead to genuine hallucinations — for example, think of the billions of people throughout the world who are being sprayed by chemtrails almost every day and yet have no idea EXERCISE: Spend 10 minutes every couple days or so (for at least a couple of months) focusing purely on the question, “What do I know beyond a shadow of a doubt?” and journal, to the best of your ability, what comes to mind when contemplating this idea. Start keeping a list of “things I know beyond a shadow of a doubt” — this could be anything from “the sky is blue” to “peace on Earth and perpetual war are mutually exclusive”. The point of this exercise is not to generate an impressive list, but to train your conscious mind to become lucidly aware of the models that govern your perception. Be kind with yourself as you do this — allow yourself to make mistakes and to revise your list. This is not a race, but rather a process of exploration and growth that theoretically has no limit, wherein every step brings untold benefit and healing, not only for yourself, but indeed for the collective as well. For best (and lasting) results, it is recommended that one do this exercise frequently, and for short durations of time at first — to use an illustration: it TheSovereignVoice.Org
