The Truth Box

Many people seem to have a special place in their minds which I call The Truth Box. The Truth Box is used to store core beliefs about the nature of reality. If this box is empty, people may experience a lack of meaning. Sometimes they become the truth-seekers, they are on a personal quest for finding their truth. Many different things can be put into The Truth Box. It can be any religion, philosophy, any worldview or teaching.

Once The Truth Box is filled, it becomes a foundation for a personal model of reality. By the model of reality, I mean the mental representation of reality, a set of concepts that are supposed to explain how reality works. People attach those concepts, those beliefs to The Truth Box. It can take many years and countless ideas can be attached this way, forming huge mental structures.
If someone accepts the information as true mostly because it is compatible with their model of reality, then their model has more internal coherence. But it doesn't mean that it has anything to do with the actual reality.
If someone accepts information mostly because of the authority program, then their model can have many internal inconsistencies. Many models of reality don't make any sense at all because of this mechanism, but a large part of human thought arises in this way.
If you have a worldview discussion, this is what you'll get from people – beliefs attached to The Truth Box.

With a fully formed model of reality, a person is no longer a truth-seeker. Now this person becomes a preacher of the truth. Some people tend to think that their way of thinking is the only right way and all other ways are wrong. That's why they try to impose their beliefs on others. Sometimes they even try to fix others, because they see them as being wrong. This is a common source of conflict. Many discussions look like this. People try to fix each other. People try to impose their beliefs on each other.

Because people want to share their beliefs and because this whole process is unconscious, belief systems became like viruses that use humans as carriers.

An interesting thing happens when two people meet for the first time. In order to decide if they can become friends, they exchange their beliefs to see if their models of reality and belief systems are compatible. They are happy when they agree most of the times and they are disappointed when they don't. This is based on an assumption that if their belief systems are not compatible, there's nothing they can do about it and they can't be friends because it won't work.
This shows how inflexible belief systems are and how they can determine different aspects of peoples' lives.

I never had this kind of structure. Those are just my external observations. I have a completely different mental structure. I don't have a single model of reality. I can use many models of reality as tools. I absorbed many models, many teaching, many worldviews. I can use them if they are useful, but I don't need them. Usually, I figure things out on my own. I improvise.
I don't need to use a model of reality to determine what to do. I don't need some arbitrary information to know how things work. I use strategies instead.
I don't think: "According to this source human mind works like this, so I need to be doing that.".
Instead, I think: "I came up with this strategy and it worked in a similar case in the past, so let's see if this would work now.".
I see reprogramming of my mind as a practical strategy, not a theory.
I'm a practical person. I'm not a philosopher. Because I use strategies and I don't have my own model of reality, if you asked me some questions about the nature of reality, I would probably answer "I don't know" to most of them. But I can make good decisions and I can be very effective.
