The question - what do I really know?, is a soul-searching question. I've asked myself this because there's a difference between philosophy and belief and a knowingness that comes from personal experience. Truth is subjective and it's not belief or philosophy; it's what you personally experience. If you believe in the words of someone else – that's not your truth; it's just you believing in them.

Here goes:

I know I was born into a body and that I had no previous memories at that time.

I know that I was lucky to have had a Mother and a Father and they did their best for me.

I know that I am estranged from my Son and Daughter. My door is always open and my love for them is unwavering.

I know that I love my two brothers and indeed everyone else I have been close to in my life.

I know that materialism is shallow and real Spiritualism is as deep as anyone can take it.

I know that there is life after death because I have had many out of body experiences*.

I know that aliens exist because I've had experiences with them and experiences of missing time.

I know that my mind creates my life and that that continues indefinitely beyond this life.

I know that what I am thinking 'here & now' is always really important because it is me creating my future.

I know that my life has been shaped by my decisions, which are based upon my thinking. We can all make better decisions from now on...

I know that a society that does not revere its children and tries to conceal horrendous crimes against them; is crippled by the perpetrators.

I know that all thoughts of inferiority and superiority are merely symptons of mental aberration.

I know that I have to watch my attitude everyday as my attitude affects my life.

I know that if I try to compromise anyone then I am also compromised.

I know that if I try to take advantage of anyone then I rob myself.

I know that if I approach anyone but conceal my real motive then I am not being honest.

I know that it takes a long time to see the effect in your life of fantasy on your mind. It's as if it has a life of its own, even though it is unreal.

I know that we deceive ourselves because of our insistence at looking outside of ourselves for answers. The only road to freedom is to go within and do the necessary internal work**

I know that if you try to control people and or you get emotional, you have a problem because your psyche will be filled with 'energy suckers'. Freedom comes when you stop being a food source for these unseen critters.
