Building Mental Muscle - Paperback

by Wissam Bazzi (Author)

The purpose of this book is that the truth cannot be seen merely by the naked eye but by building true authentic belief (a true belief structure). So how is an authentic belief created? When true thoughts, which we will call the T-lens, are connected to the right emotions, which we will call the E-lens, an eye opens within the heart that perceives through the lens of insight. The responsibility of the cognitive lens (T-lens) is to create awareness and once awareness is locked into place the emotional lens is triggered. The responsibility of the emotional lens (E-lens) is to help you navigate between avoiding negative situations or approaching great ones.For example, think of it this way. Your perspective is represented by a camera without a lens, and think of lenses for the camera as rules that have been learned and embedded into your subconscious/implicit mind. Knowing that here is how it works. Upon the occurrence of a unique situation in your outside world, the situation will trigger an internal lens and places it on your camera subconsciously in your mind. This will create a line of awareness into the outside world and how you view that situation. After this, you begin to feel an emotion which is your E-lens. This lens will cause you to either approach or avoid the situation. The result of the infusion of thought and emotion is a lens/principle. So when the right lens is connected with the right emotion, and when applied properly through wisdom, you are guaranteed success.
