"The more you explore a topic and subject it to mental scrutiny, the more you understand it. This enables you to judge it's validity. If through your analysis you prove something to be invalid, then you put it aside. However, if you independently establish something to be true, then your faith in that truth has powerful solidity. This whole process of research and scrutiny should be thought of as one form of meditation."
end quote from page 47 of "An Open Heart" by The Dalai Lama
If someone tells you something is true you may or you may not believe them, no matter who they are.
But, if you take the time and do the research yourself and if you trust your methodical nature in researching the truth about anything then your belief in whatever it is will be strong.
Does that mean you will always be right?
No.
But, what it does mean is you are more likely to be right proving these things to yourself rather than just listening to what other people say that they have not even proved to themselves.
By Applying the scrutiny of the Scientific method of Hypotheses, Theories and Laws to literally everything in your life: Spiritual, Mental, Physical, Emotional you are more likely to have a good life and be healthy, wealthy and wise to the end of your days here on earth.
By God's Grace
