Rationalisation.

When much is found that is distasteful to your thought
then the inclination is for you to discount it. It is on this topic that
we would concentrate this time. Discounted thought, - many feel
that they have the control on their lives and for us to show them
otherwise would lead them to discount the notion that the idea
they had of themselves is less then accurate.

When humankind was first evolved, it was for this
purpose that conflict of thought was permitted to be retained, for
it invoked rationalisation. Rationalisation is a process whereby
humankind can find out for itself if the thoughts it has are in fact
valid to the thinking it feels is appropriate to it’s own
understanding and also to it’s life. It is unfortunate that mainly it
is thought for life that is allowed to dominate the thinking and
therefore an unbalanced rationalisation occurs. Now if a clearer
understanding of life were gained first then perhaps it would not
be so. Humankind tends to rush for the top whilst ignoring the
subtleties that exist along the way. In this fashion humankind
arrives at the early conclusion that life is living a physical
existence and there is only a duty to live it to the physical full. This
is not the case; life is a physical existence enshrining the Spirit so
that the Spirit can maintain a facility on the earth whereby it may
obtain all the experiences that this particular life has to give.
