Empirical truth about memory is that it is not a reliable source of information no matter how confident one feels on how things occur. Check out your own memory and see how it fares. Note that many a historical/religious documents were written based on memory,  it is prudent to take ancient literature with a skeptical mind.

Anthony Robins has been a great inspiration to thousands of people, and with his very empirical insight into human behavior and psyche we can better ourselves and rise to be someone better than who we currently are. Here is a little dose of his potion.

As amazing or scary as that sounds, we are making enormous progress in developing technologies to read people’s minds. Here is a 60 minute segment on mind reading technologies.

This suggests that our thoughts are a result of brain cells firing. Lots of implications for the future here.

There is always someone smarter than you in many aspects of your knowledge of the world. Even the people who we consider world experts will claim they yet do not know everything there is to know in their fields. Time has also shown that our experts of our yester years have had some of their theoretical predictions overturned upon the discovery of new truths that govern our lives.

Our ability to process information is limited by what we currently know about the subject, about how much we are able to interpret the information we have, and limited by our ability to detect the true nature of our universe.

For instance, until about 20 years ago, life as we know it only existed because we believed life is based on the existence of the sun and life’s ability to use photosynthesis to tap this sun energy and convert it to other energies that support life. Now we know that along the earth’s continental rifts miles under the oceans there exists life forms that do not use the sun for their survival. These living things make their food from the heat of the earth using a process called chemosynthesis.

There have been many such discoveries made that has changed the course of our understanding of the universe. From finding out about earth not being flat, or not being the center of the universe around which even the sun circles, or by discovering the science of carbon dating or other dating methods which enables us to accurately guess the age or our planet and its various fossils.

The bottom-line is that we are still learning, discovering and growing in our understanding of the true world we live in. Our knowledge, as a species, is a result of building on empirical truths we have found out about our world over the history of our existence. Over time, in the near future, we hope to arrive at a truer picture of our existence having expanded on our current limited ability to detect, collect, interpret and process the information that surrounds us. 

What this also means, is that with Empirical Truth™ we advocate letting go of dogma that impedes our mental growth in getting to know the real truth that surrounds us in life.
