The dogmatic beliefs

As we’ve mentioned above, in the case of the dogmatism, the false expectation means to consider our knowledge as being the only true one (about different aspects, phenomena’s, states) even if we have never checked it out or even if we can never check it.

The human being has three important sources, which allow him to know the realities with which he is faced:
- the direct perception-through the senses with which he is endowed,
- the judgment,
- the confession.

But the only one capable to give him an exact knowledge of some aspects of the reality is the direct perception; the judgment and the confession are only indicators, guides which show towards this perception; but they can’t be considered trustworthy sources of knowledge.

If we consider as being certain only those aspects which were previously perceived in a direct way (for the rest of the aspects and phenomenon’s keeping a reserve of uncertainty until we won’t verify them directly) the false expectations can’t appear in our psyche; this thing is pointed out by the Supraconscious which sends a state of psychical peace and quiet.

By the contrary, if we stubborn to sustain some beliefs as being undoubtedly true, although they weren’t previously checked, the Supraconscious sends us signals of psychical suffering characterized by a kind of mental anxiety, agitation and stress.

If we keep in our psyche the wrong judgments specific to some unjustified beliefs (like those of some “hard-working practitioners” of some religious, philosophic, esoteric and political trends) they may give birth to some torturing obsessions and indecisions.

In fact they point out that the person in discussion did not understand or did not adapt himself efficiently (of a manner able to allow him the maintenance of his own harmony and existence) to some stimuli he was faced with.

Any judgment may be wrong; any confession may be false as long as they are not checked through direct perception.

When we keep in us the false expectation that there are some judgments and confessions which don’t need the direct perception in order to be considered absolutely sure, the Supraconscious pointes out this error immediately.

If we don’t take into consideration its signals, we’ll jeopardize our own existence and harmony.

We’ve said that these wrong judgments characteristic to the existential-philosophic plan, are meant to predict the correct evolution of some events in the future.

The probability of this correct prediction increases if we take into consideration only those data offered by the direct perception; this probability becomes smaller if these data are offered by the reason and confession, being in the same time aware of the fact that they could be wrong (because they weren’t checked).

In this case we have to make a second plan if they proved to be wrong.

In fact the information specific to the confessions and judgments whose correspondence with the objective reality (common to all the people) hasn’t been checked yet, are those specific to the belief.

They are information which guide us to check some realities without any guarantee that these realities will correspond with what we know from the other people and with what we can deduce rationally.

To consider them trustworthy when we haven’t checked them yet, means to give up at the prediction, at the making of some second plans and thus to jeopardize the existence of our own system (because in the moment of the confrontation with the reality-if it is completely different of what we’ve thought- we’ll be surprised and won’t have time to adapt ourselves efficiently to it.

For instance the cases of political betray when, due to the unjustified trust and the naïve believe, the person who has them becomes a victim of some plots to which he can’t oppose.

This imprudence, the presence of these wrong judgments- like some doctrines (unchecked beliefs) - is promptly pointed out by the Supraconscious under the form of some obsessions, doubts, anxieties, indecisions, etc.

It’s only up to us not to ignore and to eliminate immediately from the psyche these wrong judgments specific to the dogmatism and to replace them with some judgments specific to the precaution (we’ll never express opinions about the realities we don’t know or we have never known through direct perception).
