“CONSTRUCTIVE” thinking
“The truth was a mirror in the hands of God. It fell, and broke into pieces. Everybody took a piece of it, and they looked at it and thought they had the truth.”In discovering the WHOLE truth requires joining the puzzles together…………..
Jalaluddin Rumi
Although this article is lengthy it has valuable information. I wrote it in recent years for a purpose. To help others not feel alienated or afraid to ask questions, debate or even query a concern, provided it has moral purpose and true intent.
Mainstream as many would know by now is simply to divide. There is no moral or ethic basis whatsoever to what they do or write or say for that matter. They are on both sides and manipulate and divide both sides. They do not have any morality to their purpose of their existence these days…….did they ever really? And so anyone who works still today as a journalist for mainstream propaganda, are part of the ‘war crimes’. They are there to create chaos, and division, wars and confusion with no intention to ever tell the truth. And so such journalists will they ever be trusted, and rightfully so to feel that way, since they continue to work in such environments rather than towards building a better world of love peace and truth.

“CONSTRUCTIVE” thinking
“In every age, there are those select few who dare to step outside of the known paradigm in search of the truth.” Anonymous, www.newtommorow.us/index.htmlSpeak Up
“The truth you cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new.”
Pema Chodron
“A lot of people feel threatened if they feel they are being asked to question their cherished beliefs or their perception of reality. Yet questioning is what keeps our minds supple and strong. Simply settling on one way of seeing things and refusing to be open to other possibilities makes the mind rigid and generally creates a restrictive and uncomfortable atmosphere. We all know someone who refuses to budge on one or more issues, and we may have our own sacred cows that could use a little prodding. Being open-minded means that we are willing to question everything, including those things we take for granted.
A willingness to question everything, even things we are sure we are right about, can shake us out of complacency and reinvigorate our minds, opening us up to understanding people and perspectives that were alien to us before. This alone is good reason to remain inquisitive, no matter how much experience we have or how old we get. In the Zen tradition, this willingness to question is known as beginner’s mind, and it has a way of generating possibilities we couldn’t have seen from the point of view of knowing something with certainty. The willingness to question everything doesn’t necessarily mean we don’t believe in anything at all, and it doesn’t mean we have to question every single thing in the world every minute of the day. It just means that we are humble enough to acknowledge how little we actually know about the mysterious universe we call home.
Nearly every revolutionary change in the history of human progress came about because someone questioned some time-honored belief or tradition and in doing so revealed a new truth, a new way of doing things, or a new standard for ethical and moral behavior. Just so, a commitment to staying open and inquisitive in our own individual lives can lead us to new personal revolutions and truths, truths that we will hopefully, for the sake of our growth, remain open to questioning.”

I’d rather get over my fear of what someone might think of me than ignore something that could change the quality of life on this planet for everyone.
Kimberly Carter Gamble (www.thrivemovement.com)
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”“….The Truth is not new. The Truth is being revealed for us to acknowledge, remedy, and break free from perceived limitations….”
Martin Luther King Jr
“ Everywhere in our world we are now seeing the awakening of humanity speed up. We are seeing massive rallies against corruption and rallies for peace spread. We are seeing tyranny, cover-ups and false flags exposed. And more importantly, we are seeing movements converging that offer solutions to these issues the world faces. People’s inner worlds of heart and mind are breaking free and we are seeing this have direct and positive impacts in our outer world.”
Dr. Kathy Forti, clinical psychologist
“All that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated, suppressed — only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.”
Nikola Tesla
“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”
Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855)
“During 2016 more young people and old people, inside and outside world governments, will speak the truth with greater energy, greater clarity and less fear than ever before in human history. And their words will be heard, preserved and multiplied beyond the reach of establishment suppression. They will tell of many things from their own personal experience. They will tell of Earth changes to come and they will tell of Earth changes past.”

The Importance of the word “CONSTRUCTIVE”
“It has become apparently clear that there arises confusion in a lot of articles that simply are aiming at reaching the same goal of World Peace. What one person expresses another states that it is regarded as negative or judgement. The important factor to note here is that the common goal is to express the truth of importance with having the intent to do so in “a usefull or” with “beneficial purpose” so to create world peace, and within ourselves; to bring the truth out to the world so that all are able to live a more authentic and truthfull life.” Of course we need to ensure that any word that is used that may be negative is “constructive” so as to reach world peace both outside and within ourselves. This goes for actions as well.”How the word CONSTRUCTIVE can change something that may appear or come across negative with a positive purpose…..

express a judgement of
Sarcasm: the use of irony to mock or convey contempt
Judging: form an opinion or conclusion about
Viewpoint: a person’s opinion or point of view
Opinion: a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or

Now place the word “CONSTRUCTIVE” before each word of the following words and it actually changes the whole meaning.
CONSTRUCTIVE:
having or intended to have a useful or beneficial purpose; that is intended and useful to help or improve something, often with an offer of possible solutions
Constructive Commenting: having or intended to have a useful or beneficial purpose with the intent to help and improve something, often with an offer of possible solutions, in expressing an opinion or reaction
Constructive Criticizing: having or intended to have a useful or beneficial purpose with the intent to help and improve something, often with an offer of possible solutions, when indicating disapproval or expressing a judgement
Constructive Sarcasm: having or intended to have a useful or beneficial purpose with the intent to help and improve something, often with an offer of possible solutions, when there is mocking or conveying contempt
Constructive Judging: having or intended to have a useful or beneficial purpose with the intent to help and improve something, often with an offer of possible solutions, when forming an opinion or conclusion about something or someone
Constructive Viewpoint: having or intended to have a useful or beneficial purpose with the intent to help and improve something, often with an offer of possible solutions, regarding a person’s opinion or point of view about something or someone

Set down principles and strategies for rational discourse. Try to distinguish between valid and invalid argument……”

The following has been written in such a way to emphasise the importance and relevance of the article, that can be read in its entirety at this link
http://www.planetofsuccess.com/blog/2011/the-truth-is-within-you/ written by Steve Mueller .
The reason I add it in this article and is to help those, who are reading “constructive thinking’, the importance also of going within to find answers.
Many writers and true thus journalists have written about it also. So many of the writers are aware of and have written valuable information or made videos about the importance of going within to find the answers or truth, listening to your own intuition and truly being from a very authentic place in mind and soul when questioning or in utilising constructive thinking.
There are so many writers who have actually written or spoken on these topics and I love how they word or say it. I have excerpts of sections of an article below that was placed on the website time ago as part of helping people at the time when overcoming fears and courageously questioning where valid to for a purpose.
“The Truth is Within You
The philosophical question about the meaning of life, its purpose, why we are here and the truth behind all that is has fascinated people since early mankind, from the Sumerians to the Mayans, modern Scientists and Philosophers to believers and atheists. Well, it does not only fascinate people from all different kinds of ideological and cultural backgrounds, but it also frustrates many of us as there seems to be no answer in sight, at least not an easy one that all could agree upon. And even though we are all occupied with our jobs and the struggles of life – the inexplicable remains, its questions remain veiled within the back of the mind for years, but eventually they begin to arise, once more, stronger than before.
- What is the truth behind all that is?
- What’s the meaning and purpose of life?
- Why am I here on this planet?
- Is humanity a mere coincidence, or were we created?
- Are there extraterrestrial life forms out there?
- What’s the purpose of my life?
- Is there a god, or a higher intelligence?
- What happens after you’ve died? Is there a life after death?
I think we can agree that – at least many of us – are on the quest to discover the truth and the meaning of life and all that is, no matter what this “truth” will turn out to be. Some of us may be actively searching for this type of truth, from within the remains of long forgotten societies to modern laboratories; others might rely on external guides to present them the truth, from gurus to spiritual leaders and yet others are trying to discover answers to their seemingly inexplicable questions in their everyday life. Interestingly enough, we get to know a lot of people during this journey that are presenting their claims and believes as fact or even goes so far to call these statements “the only and absolute truth”. Yet, their believes – even though proclaimed to be backed up by “irrefutable evidence” – still remain these people’s personal truths, not the one and only truth. We only have to look back in our history to see that there were many conflicts of two or more opposing ideologies/opinions, all claiming for themselves to be “the one and only”, whereas all the others were regarded as misguided and false.
What is so important to understand is that you will seldom – if not never – find a person knowing the all-engrossing truth about everything that is, was, and will be. Sure enough, there are many that have discovered pieces and fractions of it, but to see the big picture in its wholeness is simply not possible for most human beings, as of yet. Another point that I deem important to address is the fact that whatever another person considers being their truth, doesn’t necessarily have to be your truth whatsoever.
What may appear as truth to one person will often appear as untruth to another person. But that need not worry the seeker. ~ Mohandas K. “Mahatma” Ghandi
Furthermore, it is so crucial to understanding that believes are highly dependent on the perspective and level of experience of a given person. If you would compare the descriptions of a thunder-storm by a modern day person and someone living in the 10th century, you would have two completely different stories, one involving modern day knowledge and science, the other one about gods and the like. A boringly normal lighter from our advanced society could become the idolized “lightening of the gods” of an Indian tribe living in the Amazonas, far away from civilization.
The truth is within you!
The astonishing thing is that the truth lies within you, it will always be with you everywhere you go and waits to be discovered, little by little when the time is ready and you are capable of comprehending the meaning that comes with it. External sources can guide you, they can show you the direction, but ultimately it takes no outward things to discover what always had been centered within you. The question is:
I. How to discover the truth within?
1. Listen when your heart speaks
At some point in life, the answers that external sources provide do no longer satisfy the pursuer of the truth. Everything that could be discovered has been discovered, and every dot that could be connected has been connected. That’s an inevitable stage during the pursuit of the truth, but it also offers the opportunity to tune into the stream of infinite wisdom that originates from deep within you. There are as many names for this amazing inner wisdom as there are clouds in the sky, but the most common descriptions are “the inner voice”, “intuition” or goes simply by the depiction of “listening to what the heart is telling one”.
The difficulty with this inner voice is that it won’t start a regular conversation with you, just like a person would. Its guidance is more subtle, sometimes you will happen to notice synchronicities in your life, at another day there is this thought out of nowhere that keeps your mind busy for the rest of the day. You might not even notice at first sight that a positive development in your life originated from such a “fortuitous” thought from deep within you or from an intuitive feeling. That’s until you look back to realize how randomly this thought seemed to have appeared in your day-to-day life and how positive it affected your life.
Following your intuition and listening to what your heart has to tell you is a fantastic way to discover what the wisdom of your higher-self has to offer for you. And surprisingly, many of the journeys led by intuition will enable you to really do what you enjoy doing, something that many describe as “going with the flow of the universe” or “walking on the path of god”.
But how do you “encourage” the inner voice to share some of its wisdom with you? An excellent way to comfort intuition to unfold is meditation, as it aids you in calming down your mind, becoming quite and relaxed. In general, any activity that allows you to relax and supports you in calming your active mind down is excellent for this purpose.
2. Encourage the stillness of the mind
Meditation, for instance Buddhist meditation, is only but one way to seek inner guidance. Generally, everything that allows you to contemplate and aids you in letting your thoughts wander is perfect for this, for instance taking a long walk, an eased tour with your bike or simply gazing at the stars, letting whatever thoughts that come to mind arise.
Just when you were surrounded by silence and calmness, your mind engulfed in stillness, without expecting anything, intuition will make its voice heard. It could be a sudden thought that pierces your mind or a gut feeling evolving from within. It’s that “you could eat some more vegetables” thought that comes to a person who ate preferably meat throughout his whole life, or the “smoking does you no good” feeling to a person that has smoked cigarettes for ten or more years.
With some experience, you will perceive the way that intuition – or your inner voice – makes itself noticed and you might even begin to appreciate its guidance throughout your day-to-day life. Sudden thoughts are a tell-tale sign for your intuition to have spoken up, especially when they lead over the course of some days to significant and positive changes in your life.
As a side note, it is important to differentiate between the supportive voice of intuition and your not-so-supportive ego. The path that your ego advises you to take will encumber a burden on your shoulders, accompanied by anxiety, confusion, a feeling of turmoil and most important of all, the fear of failure. As opposed to this, suggestions made by your inner voice or intuition always come with a deeper understanding, a feeling of peace and tranquility. There is no fear associated with it and no pressure exerted onto you. It would simply feel right for you to do what your intuition suggested, deep within, but there is also no problem associated with ignoring the thought either.
3. Trust yourself and know yourself
As incomprehensible as it might sound at this particular moment, you already knew the truth, a long time before you began searching for it. At least that was what I began to realize the more dots I connected and the more vivid the pieces of the mosaic – “the bigger picture” – became. At first there was the framework, things that I knew from deep within myself since childhood, thoughts that randomly appeared during the different stages of my life. Later in life, I began to discover increasingly more details of the picture within this framework, noticing that the thoughts I had trivialized as merely a child’s vivid imagination had become the foundation of what I was unearthing. And just to clarify this, the childlike conclusions I had drawn at that time were really nothing special; there weren’t even many of them, but I still remember each of those in their full complexity, like the predominant thought that we are all the same, no matter what skin colors, religion or physical distances separate us superficially.
4. Be patient, insight will come to you when ready
Don’t try to force the all illuminating truth to enlighten you from one day to the other, that’s simply not possible and will most likely decrease your motivation drastically. Instead, be patient and know that each piece of the “mosaic of truth” will reveal itself to you when you are ready to perceive it. You can think about this as a complex process, where the events in your life, thereof gained experiences and drawn conclusions will have to tie in with each other in perfect synchronicity to prepare you for the knowledge that another insight reveals to you. These are the adventures that have to be mastered and the keys to be discovered to unlock the massive gates to yet another part of the whole.
Each truth can only be understood, when you are ready to receive it.
I’m sure you understand this principle from your personal life. Well, I do. For instance, when I was a little child, I couldn’t believe that earth was a round object. How could all the adults be so wrong about this?. The ground I was walking on was flat, there were no coves, so I felt encouraged in my assumption that earth was a disc. That’s until I grew older and began to understand gravity and how enormous this planet truly is in order to realize that it, in fact, is a round object. And the same goes for “the truth”, or “the bigger picture”. If you are not ready for it, you won’t accept it for what it is, until certain knowledge, experiences and thereof drawn wisdom will prove you otherwise. If someone would have tried to elucidate some of the insights he gained throughout his life, I simply would have laughed at him (several years ago), not understanding what he meant or what he was talking about.
That’s exactly what is so tricky about the truth and the insights that come with it. A person could write down all the knowledge that has become his personal “truth” within the numerous pages of a book, yet people would dismiss it as fantasy, fiction and nonsense if they haven’t drawn similar conclusions in their life’s.
II. Discovering the truth – the conventional way
Luckily, you do not have to rely solely on the truth to be found deep within you. There is also a “conventional path” that might lead you to your personal truth and insight. I’ve therefore chosen to include this section that discusses some important remarks to keep in mind when searching for the truth. May I present the facts about “the truth”.
True personal enlightenment goes hand in hand with knowledge. The problem about knowledge is that there is so much of it out there – in every kind of field from astrology to quantum physics – that you cannot possibly absorb it all. Therefore, it’s a matter of where you look and whom you are listening to.
#1 The truth has to be discovered
While this statement sounds logical, I want to emphasize the importance that – whatever you might regard as – the truth cannot be found by listening to the words of one person alone, no matter if these words are written in a book, a website or spoken in an impressive speech. Rather, it is up to you to discover piece after piece and to connect the dots, in order to understand the so important bigger picture. If I was to imagine myself traveling through time to meet my 18-year-old younger-self, explaining myself all the insights I had gained through life I know that he would disregard everything I said, laughing about the verbiage. The point is that it takes a lot of in-depth and open-minded research to gain the knowledge that allows you to blink through the veil and understand fractions of the bigger picture.
The truth really has to be discovered, it has to be connected out of seemingly unrelated bits of knowledge.
Notwithstanding, small pieces of the truth are to be found everywhere, from spiritual perspectives to the newest scientific discoveries. That’s what makes it so valuable to be interested in a vast range of different topics.
#2 There’s no firework indicating the truth
There will be no fireworks or exultation when you hit upon an insight on life. It feels rather like a profound realization emerging from within, espousing the building of the framework for a much bigger picture. So, instead of anticipating a stunning magical event, search for the deep realizations that provide satisfaction and a greater understanding of the whole magnitude of all that is.
#3 Leave no stone unturned
I think we can agree on the fact that the internet (or your local library) is literally stuffed with knowledge, making it even more difficult for those on the quest for the all-embracing truth. We have also concluded that it is very difficult – or unlikely – for one person alone to have an in-depth understanding about all that is and the universal truth. Surely, there are a handful of individuals who have figured out many pieces of the puzzle, but there is an opposing army of those who only think they “figured it all out”, unknowingly deluding themselves and many others.
In order to widen your perspective, investigate ranges of subjects that interest you, leave no stone unturned and listen to what the experts have to say, but also try to discover the opinion of those that oppose these specialists. Have in mind that people are only sharing THEIR insights and THEIR interpretation thereof, a lot of it being highly influenced by their cultural and societal backgrounds, their education and believe system, or by those who pay them. But if you are willing to educate yourself about a vast range of topics, ranging from science, religion, metaphysics, history, physics, astrology, ancient societies and much more, you will spot similarities; you will see consensuses and accordances allowing you to grasp fractions of the bigger picture.
Discover the truth within
What is so interesting about this “bigger picture” is that you distinguish no longer between the different cultures, religions and their different interpretation, but you start noticing that everyone’s talking the same language – that of the truth, with their own personal “spin” attached to it. Always keep in mind that the more points of references you have, the better your ability to grasp the whole magnitude of all that is.
#4 Judge from within
On your quest for the truth, you will come along many topics that seem to be just “out there” and so different from anything that you have ever heard. You will hear people speaking about things that our modern day status quo of knowledge disputes to exist. Yet, many of those are sincere and regular people talking in the greatest detail of what they experienced or apparently know. In the end, it is important to investigate whatever topic that resonates deep within you. Make your heart your personal “idiocy indicator”, but also allow your heart to judge the legitimacy of what your brain considers to be pure science fiction. If you trust your heart, you will know who is sincere and who is right-out fooling you.
#5 Remain as open minded as possible
Having a prejudiced mindset about the whole world that surrounds you will hinder you from discovering new ideas and concepts, new approaches and mindsets and surprising realizations that provide you a further understanding of all that is. You’re doing yourself not a favor by being biased only to conform to your personal believes and to remain within the comfortable zone of nescience, but if you chose to do so, that is fine too.
Truth only reveals itself when one gives up all preconceived ideas. ~ Shoseki
#6 Assume you know just 1% of all that is
An excellent way to remain as open minded as possible is to always clarify that all the knowledge you have put together, the dots you connected and the insights you gained thereof add up to only 1% of all that is. If you were standing in front of a painting, the 1% we are speaking about would resemble a tiny little square, leaving the rest of the painting undiscovered. The “1% assumption” is the assurance to not fall into the very comfortable zone of naivety, prohibiting you from uncovering further realizations about the all-engrossing truth. Even if you think you discovered the truth, search further and further to widen your perspective.
#7 Be aware of the deception
Finally, the last aspect that is important to understand is that there is deception, both knowingly and unknowingly, being spread everywhere you come across during your journey for the truth. There are those who do not teach the foundation of their inner truth and the wisdom gained thereof, but chose to be a teacher of the concepts that others created. Listen to your heart and you will know what resonates with you and what does not.
You can listen to a thousand people, all of them presenting their own “truth”, but you will only find your truth within yourself. In fact, the only truth you will ever know in this lifetime resides deep within yourself.”

“HENCEFORTH”
According to http://www.thefreedictionary.com/henceforth
“henceforth” is defined as:
“From this time forth; from now on”
And so from henceforth, equipped with tools, resources, knowledge and wisdom gained, walk a path, pursue or go on a journey of discovering your own truth about you and life.
