The First Part of the First Session of Course One

Think about it. Stuff exists. Things come into play the way that they do based on the summed happenings that preceded this. A limited mind can not possibly be consciously aware of everything that has ever happened, is happening, or ever will happen by the very nature of the word limited. Yet, through a little knowledge and rational thinking, there are many things about life that you may determine through PATTERNS. For example: One plus one is two. You could never count to two trillion, yet you just know that one-trillion plus one-trillion is two trillion. Of course, you might add. That takes no grandiose knowledge. But did you notice here that you did this with a pattern? Can you think of many other patterns that fit this example? Sure.

            
Another aspect of rational thinking is CLUE FITTING. If you ate one calorie of food, this alone couldn’t possibly make you gain one pound of fat non-water weight, since one pound of fat non-water weight due to calories consists of roughly 3,500 calories. Two things cannot occupy the same spot at the same time. An ice cube cannot remain frozen in a hot pan. Etc… .

Yet another aspect of rational thinking is FAMILIARITY. You know that ice is colder than water. Day is brighter than night. Steel is harder than felt.

Yet another aspect of rational thinking is ROLE PLAYING. I don’t mean pretending necessarily that you are everything, yet putting a situation into a scenario to where through familiarity, clue fitting, and patterns, you may estimate an interaction and/or a set of interactions.

Another aspect of rationality is DISTINGUISHABILITY. If you can distinguish similarities, differences, if something exists and where that is, and what it is collecting and/or giving off, then you may become more actively familiar with what you are talking about.

Finally, and aspect of rationale is BOUNDEDNESS AND SENSE OF DIRECTION.

If you know where you are and where you can go, then you are in less danger than if you don’t. Knowing something’s limitations may go hand-in-hand with the potential locations in which the object may travel.
