THE CENTRAL PIECE

Read this piece first:

What Is Reality? Know What It Is Or
Suffer From Irreality!)
________________________

THE CENTRAL CONCEPT - SUMMARY

Reality =

What is observable, verifiable by scientific observers, and is indisputable

Not reality = Everything else (i.e. "not real")

   Mental constructs (what you make up
       strictly in your head)
       About something that is real (or about
           an about)
        A drama about a fear of something that
           is not a legitimate fear)

Learn to spot what reality is and to see that everything else is not reality - and is strictly created only in and by the mind.   And know that you can create what you want to in your mind - after all you are the thinker who thought it up in the first place.

The key step toward a happy life:  To learn not to believe what you made up in your mind is real.  Being able to tell the difference is a sign of sanity.  (See The Believing Brain.)

CORE STATEMENT

How to read the sequence - and followup!

1. At least read the quick overview & grounding pieces. 
2. Return later (or read now) to read the "read next" section under "Reality"
3.  Read the rest!  Make sure you at least tickle this to be read.  It is essential to your understanding of life.

As you go, it is essential that you begin to write notes to yourself and to write your Life Philosophy, putting the notes behind a "Life Philosophy" tab in your Reminders Notebook.
