What the Thinker Thinks, the Prover Proves
What the thinker thinks, the prover proves.
The human mind can be viewed as having two main functions: a thinker and a prover.
The thinker can think anything.
The prover has no such choice: whatever the thinker thinks,
the prover arranges all incoming information to prove that thought to be true.
If a person believes they are stupid,
their prover will sort and filter all incoming data to prove that belief to be true.
If they believe they are clever, the prover will sort and filter incoming data to prove that belief true.
If you believe you will always be poor, that life is unfair, and that people are basically rotten,
your prover will find evidence of those beliefs.
If you believe that you can become fantastically wealthy, that life is a wonderful adventure,
and that people are intrinsically good,
your prover will create an iron clad case to prove those beliefs to be correct.
Of course, over time, the external reality of your life comes into line with whatever you've been thinking.
So if you're unsure about what you believe, there's an easy way to find out: have a look around!
Your external circumstances are the physical manifestation of your beliefs.
You might even like to ask yourself what beliefs it would be useful for you to have.
What the thinker thinks, the prover proves.
