4. The Principle of Investigate All Things and Keep What Is Good
I
unconditionally investigate, consider, and introspect all aspects,
expressions, perspectives, and avenues of life and assess what can
practically be applied within the Principle of What is Best for All. ( source : https://desteni.org/about-us/desteni-principles)
When I investigate the word ''beliefs'' for the first time, I realize that a belief was really just a vague idea that we have accepted as true. I then realize that every beliefs that I had was in fact limiting me. A child for example doesn't have any beliefs, he is pure expression of life, pure potential in a way. He then integrate the set of beliefs from their immediate environment. The problems is that if I chose to investigate something from the filter of my beliefs, I will only see what I want to see and reject everything else. Later on, as I have been expose to the Desteni message, I then realize that what's best for all doesn't require any belief, with common sense, we can both agree on what's in the best interest of all. I often use an extreme example to show the point to other people. I think we can all agree that it's not best for a child to starve. Those who disagree with that are mentally ill and require support.
So once I realize that, I realize that it would be in my best interest to give up all beliefs. I start from scratch, I will be open and start to investigate everything to find out what's real, what's true. By directing myself with the principle of what's best, if what I am investigating have value or not. By having that in mind, I don't have any background fear of investigating any source of information. It doesn't matter if the information came from the mainstream media, a fucked up documentary on YouTube, A secret society, a channeller, a psychic etc. Of course at some point, I will not waste my time with bullshit either, but not having any fear of being wrong, give me a massive advantage and allow myself to move faster in my process.
Investigate everything doesn't stop at investigate the information in the world, I must also investigate everything that is happening within me: thought, emotion, feeling, reaction, fear etc. By increasing my awareness of what's going on within me, I can then clearly see if the way I am programmed is best or not. I can also go deeper and start to investigate my past to understand what I have accepted and allowed that is still holding me back to do what's best in the present.
