Contents Ch. 1: A Better Way pg. 1 Ch. 2: Learn pg. 81 Ch. 3: Exercise pg. 112 Ch. 4: Teach pg. 135 Ch. 5: Maptric Meanings pg. 173 Chapter 1 A BETTER WAY When people have a really difficult problem in their life they often think, “There’s just got to be a better way.” In any text of threefold understanding, in any explanationof the threefold truth, you will find the good news that there actually is a better way. A betterwayto improve your health. A better way to achieve success. A better way to make more money. A better way to find love and happiness. A better way to live. A better way to think. The Key to Better Living Reading and studying the principles of threefold understanding, you can learn that there is a solution to all the frustrating and perplexing problems of life and that the key to better living is better thinking! www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 2 Personal Progress Most people are completely enthralled by the superficial aspects of day-to-day living, but you can choose to go beyond the limited concerns of the average person and instead study the process of personal progress and that method which enables its practitioner to progress and prosper and indeed to excel in any field that is worthy of human aspiration. A Life of Your Dreams Using self-help truths that have been ascertained through much effort and study, you can achieve and advance in a lifestyle that may have been only the life of your dreams. A life of creativity and abundance, a life of peace and happiness, a life of beauty and love. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 3 A New Science Creating a wonderful, more fulfilling life is certainly a great accomplishment, but something much more amazing has now been achieved. Because of all that has been learned by studying the personal-progress process, the discovery and development of Maptrics has occurred,and therefore we now have a new science of self-improvement based on an understanding of the threefold nature of truth. The Answer Maptrics not only provides unprecedented breakthroughs in the self-help field, but is actually a completely revolutionary way of thinking that is the answer to life's most profound problems, and it is clearly better than all previous human mentality. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 4 The Truth Revealed It may be hard for you to believe that the answers to the whats, whys and hows of life have been discovered and that anyone can live in abundance and joy—and that you are actually able to follow the path to such an extraordinary blessing, but the truth concerning this, and much else, will be revealed to you if you continue reading about and studying Maptrics, the new science of personal progress. The Conventional Approach Before proceeding further in the explanation of a truly superior method of dealing with the problems of life, consider the conventional approach to life-betterment. Most people, when looking for the cause of their own unhappiness and suffering, tend to blame other people and things that seem beyond their immediate control. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 5 The Power to Change Seeking solutions, most people turn to politicians, government, extravagance, drugs, lovers, and other such placebos. Hardly anyone is aware that, although the source of all power is universal, the implementation of power is always personal, and therefore, the power to change his life for the better lies within himself. Accomplishment in Any Sphere Maptrics has confirmed that accomplishment in any sphere of human endeavor can be achieved through self-improvement. Maptrics demonstrates that whatever is happening in your life is merely a reflection of you. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 6 A Better You If you want to create improvement in your life, if you want to prosper and advance in any area, to have better health, better finances, or better personal relationships, Maptrics declares that you can choose to become a better you. Prodigious Personal Progress Maptrics does indeed verify that you, and every other person, have an unlimited capacity for self-improvement. Maptrics can show you how you can begin actualizing your own unlimited potential in a way that promotes prodigious personal progress and prosperity. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 7 Vast Knowledge Even a little text of threefold understanding can encapsulate vast knowledge, enough to keep its student busy for a lifetime, and so you may feel somewhat overwhelmed by its scope, but nevertheless, if you don't give up, if you persist, you can be greatly rewarded. Excitement and Elation Maptrics is not to be studied once and then abandoned, for it is not for the recreational student. Maptrics is not a philosophy for dullards or even curious intellectuals, for it will confound the lowbrow, even if it is explained simply and concisely, and it also will disappoint the jaded expectations of the diversion-desiring inveterate bookshelf browser, though every statement is crafted to stir excitement and elation in the mind of any true seeker of mental progress. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 8 A Life Compass Maptrics is exclusively for the motivated seeker of understanding and progress who earnestly desires a better life. Maptrics is to be studied and understood and used as a compass as you daily discover and travel the path to a better way of living. Revolutionary Insights Give a copy of a book of threefold understanding to a friend but don't give away your own copy, because you need that for your own daily study of Maptrics as you endeavor to master its revolutionary insights into how life works and use them to improve your life by improving yourself. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 9 Unique Terminology Like all science, Maptrics has created its own unique terminology, and of course, in order to understand any science, it is necessary to learn its nomenclature. Thrivunity The Maptric term for better living through better thinking is thrivunity. The Maptric way of promoting thrivunity involves a method that enables you to actualize your unlimited personal potential. Poactrization The Maptric term for the actualizing of personal potentiality by means of the Maptric method is poactrization. Through poactrization, that which can be becomes that which is. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 10 Mental Improvement Maptrics has verified that the only thing that can keep anyone from achieving poactrization is his own limited thinking, and therefore Maptrics demonstrates that the way to self-improvement is through mental improvement. An Ancient Belief The idea that our thoughts have power and our mental attitude is the key to personal achievement and self-improvement is certainly not a new one, for many enlightened thinkers have advanced this belief from ancient times to the present. Thought Power In order to use more effectively the power of our thought, what we have been seeking is a way to move beyond the limitations of dualistic thinking. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 11 Dualism Any belief in a static reality which is composed of opposites is dualism. With a dualistic point of view the world appears to be a place where everything is either good or bad. An Arena of Combat For the dualistic thinker, life is an arena of combat where he encounters endless bleak battles, such as loss versus gain, failure versus success, disease versus health, foe versus friend, wrong versus right, and evil versus righteousness. Myths and Melodramas As long as anyone remains entranced by dualistic myths and melodramas, his ability to actualize or even recognize his boundless personal potential is very limited. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 12 A Steppingstone to Success It is dualism's either-or thinking that prevents us from understanding that every so-called loss brings us gain, that whatever is perceived as a stumbling block can actually be a steppingstone to success, and that, furthermore, no foe can foil our efforts—only we ourselves can do that. Monism There have been many attempts to overcome dualism with the concept of oneness, but mere monism can produce for us only nihilism, because if we have only the belief that every thing is a part of everything else, then we also will conclude that any thing is just the same as everything else. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 13 Mere Monism If, as in mere monism, everything is one and the same, then nothing has any special value, and therefore nothing has any value, but that kind of thinking surely cannot be the solution to our problems in life. Triulistic Thinking The study and practice of Maptrics gives us a new and better way of thinking that enhances our belief in oneness and replaces dualism with triulistic thinking. Beyond Dualism Maptrics understands that every thing, including reality itself, is a threefold process. With triulism, we are able to progress beyond dualism. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 14 Threefold Oneness While dualism knows only a universe of conflict in which truth struggles to overcome falsehood, piety combats the profane, crops compete with weeds, and allies battle enemies, triulism discerns that reality contains only good, better, and best. Triulism sees a perfect world of threefold oneness that consists of only truth and seeks to understand that truth more completely. The New Definition of Truth The revolutionary viewpoint that constitutes triulism is demonstrated by its definition of the word true. Whenever the adjective true is used in Maptrics, the science of threefold understanding, that which is being described is not something that is the opposite of false but in fact that which is more complete and comprehensive. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 15 Comprehensive Prosperity True happiness is a more complete and deeper happiness. True prosperity is a more comprehensive prosperity that involves not accumulating money and material possessions but the accomplishment of mental progress. Only Truth Exists With a more comprehensive definition of the word true, we can see that our problem is not to find the truth or even to distinguish the truth from the false. We can realize that the false does not exist, and therefore the truth, being all that is, is everywhere, everything and unavoidable, and therefore our problem is simply to understand more completely the truth that is all things and how it works. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 16 An Eternal Process Since only the truth exists and existence is infinite and eternal, there is always more of it than we know, and therefore this blissful process of discovering and learning the truth more completely will go on forever. Better Beliefs Because the study of truth that brings prodigious personal progress is not limited to merely the mundane, enhanced advancement in life begins with a betterment of our most all-encompassing metaphysical and theological beliefs. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 17 Trideology No true science will disregard the discernments of religion or philosophy, so do not think that Maptrics is an anti-religious belief system but instead become aware that it is actually a trideology, bringing the truths of religion together with those of science and philosophy. Theological Personality Cult Most dualistic so-called religion describes God as a jealous, indecisive, masculine ego who is separate from humanity and the rest of all his creation. A theological cult of personality predicates thatwe must somehow persuade an omnipotent potentate to give us the blessings of both the mortal and eternal life. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 18 Dualistic Idolatry The belief that God is a personality is actually a form of idolatry in which a mental apparition serves as the graven image. God Personified Versus Atheism Dualism's confounding thought-limiting contrivances are indeed legion and of these there is no better example than the tiresome debate between God personification and atheism, an argument which is nonsensical unless we accept the plausibility of either a God person or universal chaos. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 19 Omnipresent and Preeminent Dualistic self-designated science maintains that material phenomena indicate only a physical reality, but all true science divines that they provide proof of the omnipresence and preeminence of mental and spiritual processes. God Discernible Can the universe be an accident, a brief happenstance of cause and effect, and a mere side effect of pandemonium, when surely almost any disbeliever would concede the reality of universal law? Maptrics acknowledges the law operating everywhere and declares that conspicuous cosmic regulation is truth and moreover God discernible. The persistent predictable processes of existence do obviously prove that truth exists and thus demonstrate the actuality of God. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 20 The Laws of Existence Every soul aspiring to be a scientist studies some part of the laws of existence and therefore any would-be scientist who is an atheist studies that in which he does not believe. Fortuitous Events As an alternative to its convenient strawman, the God person, dualistic so-called science offers a comparable superstition, the belief in good luck. To popularize the dicey doctrine of a cosmic casino, the present-day worshipers of chaos propagate a theoretical timeline for the physical universe that describes a chain of cosmological, geological, biological, and anthropological events that are as likely to occur fortuitously as a centrifuge winning the lottery every day for a billion years. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 21 Just by Chance Just by chance....an inane BIG BANG! Just by chance, the stars became. Just by chance, a planet spun Around a very average sun. Just by chance, its lava cooled. Just by chance, the oceans pooled. Just by chance, some molecules Became fish that swam in schools. Then some fish flopped onto land. Just by chance, some learned to stand. Just by chance, some grew hands, Becoming apes, and, later, man. Then by chance, men learned to speak About the truth which they still seek. Just by chance, they'll beat the odds-- Instead of “chance,” they'll find God. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 22 Truth or Opinion? Dualistic so-called religion does positively proclaim God to be a person, but can God be a repository of opinions? Certainly a major portion of every person's mentality is just notions and nosense, but if God be truth itself, how can any opinion exist within God except in the individualized progressing minds that truth has spawned. Serendipity And so we witness that the limited thinking of dualism has produced yet another pair of convenient strawmen, the God person and serendipitous helter skelter, two obsolescent beliefs that have their purpose in the progress of human mentality but triulistic thinking leaves them behind. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 23 God is the Law of All God is indeed unyielding truth that cannot be persuaded by the prayers of a million priests or the intercession of a billion saints. God is simply how things are and how they work and responds to the better thinking and improved understanding of each individual mind. God is the law of all existence, and, moreover, all existence itself. Mental Freedom After learning that God is inexorable, omnipresent, omnipotent law, you may wonder how anyone can exercise mental or any other type of freedom. The answer to the question of free will is found in conceding that the existence of the absolute force of God necessitates the existence of absolute freedom, for if a force be absolute, then logically, it must be absolutely free. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 24 Triuality It is the combination of these two truths, absolute force and absolute freedom, that brings forth the reality in which we live, triuality. Within triuality, a process which includes spirituality, mentality, and materiality, we are able to have freedom of thought and any other aspect of our individualized minds. Free Will Using your free will, which consists of your capacity to choose your thoughts, you can utilize all the mental processes that constitute personal progress to achieve a better life through better thinking. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 25 The Humanization of God Dualism is obviously a belief system that entails copious limited thinking. Dualistic so-called religion, by promoting the humanization of God, hinders the comprehension of God. The Immortal Soul Dualistic so-called science, by propagating the animalization of humanity, by advocating the objectification of animals, and by incessantly defining human beings as merely a superior species of primates, denies the existence of not only God but also the immortal soul. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 26 The Consequence of Belief It is thought, not behavior, that has power, and so surely beliefs are thoughts that have behavioral consequences. Witnessing the treatment of animals that is encouraged by the currently prevalent, dualistic, so-called scientific culture of this planet, why would anyone be astounded that the belief that animals have no souls and also its co-conspiratorial counterpart, the assumption that humans are animals, engender a similar treatment of human beings? The Human Difference Any true science, having progressed beyond many of the limitations of dualism, not only treats both animals and human beings tremendously better, but also understands that a human is different from an animal in a very significant way because a human is a much more advanced type of thinker. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 27 Other Consciousness By means of the continuous process of reincarnation, all plants, animals and humans are the physical reflections of eternal souls progressing through the three levels of triconsciousness. Plants demonstrate other consciousness as they seek and respond to sunlight, water, and other influences. Self Consciousness Animals, having achieved self consciousness, are aware of themselves and their own needs and desires. God Consciousness Human beings have acquired God consciousness and thus have the capacity to discern and comprehend the greater truth of which they are a part. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 28 Countless Reincarnations Even though an animal is certainly aware of itself, has desires, and knows joy and suffering, only a human being, after countless reincarnations, has achieved the ability to see the big picture, and thus becoming cognizant of more than just his individualized self, has attained triconsciousness, which is that level of thinking that is capable of an awareness of God. The True Nature of God Any soul, having achieved triconsciousness, can then, utilizing the Maptric method, discover the true nature of God by progressing beyond dualism to triulism, and thus initiate his own thrivunity, which is better living through better thinking. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 29 The Dupliciteurs All dualistic thinkers can be classified into three basic categories. TheDupliciteurs are dualistic thinkers who, while spouting a litany of noble-sounding causes, hide their secret agendas behind a curtain of duplicity. Alleging that they are the intermediaries of a God apart, which is something other than that which it has done, and continues to do, they conspire to enslave you by keeping you separated from the power and potentiality of your unity with the omnipresent truth that is God. The Dupes To achieve their greedy goals, the Dupliciteurs have created the Duplicitarchy, a system of indoctrination that produces many millions of dupes. With a blind belief in dualism, these mesmerized minions serve as the unwitting pawns of the Dupliciteurial cabal. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 30 The Doubters They who are dissatisfied with the Duplicitarchy with its duplicitous techniques of inculcation and control are the doubters. Once a person begins to doubt dualism's answers to life's most profound problems, he or she may become amenable to a better truth. One Is Always Three From the triulistic viewpoint of Maptrics, the better truth is more precisely designated astriuth, the threefold truth that is God, the ultimate, all-embracing creator, determiner, and totality of everything, the ultimate expression of which may be found in the universal principle that one is always three! www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 31 Triulism's Time Yes, dualism's day is done. Triulism's time has come! Blessed be those who see That one is always three! Now let the triuth be spread. Now let the hungry be fed. Now let their thirsting be slaked. Now let the sleepers be waked! Awaken these weavers of dreams! Lift up their blankets of things, Exposing their eyes to the Light. Show them the ending of night. Now let us greet the New Dawn. Dualism's clouds are gone. And everyone under the Sun Sees Triulism's time has come! www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 32 Plantation Planet Dupliciteurs' world-worshiping collectivism is a ruse to metamorphose humanity into a flock of sheep and debase the Earth until it is nothing more than a pernicious plantation where, instead of cotton being grown, a more productive and docile slave is bred. Unmasking the Dupliciteurs with their hidden agendas and recognizing the divinity of each and every soul, Maptrics shows the seeker of truth a true path to peace, happiness, liberty, and abundance. An Immense Blessing It is very exciting to share what has been discovered about better living through self-improvement, because even a little threefold understanding can be an immense life-transforming blessing to anyone who wants this kind of knowledge and is willing to receive it, and use it. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 33 A Selfish Motive Besides your desire to help others, you also can have a more selfish motive, for you can benefit yourself by the utilization of a universal law of reality sometimes expressed as you reap what you sow. Perfect Knowledge You may think that in order to be a teacher of others, you have to have almost absolutely perfect knowledge of the subject you are teaching, but the universal law of life insures that you always have the knowledge that is perfect for the present time, place, and process. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 34 Increase Your Knowledge The perfect law of all things requires that whatever you want to have you have to be willing to give, and so, in order to increase your knowledge and thus become a better thinker, you can help make available to other seekers the knowledge you yourself seek. Part of the knowledge you can help impart to others concerns habits. Noticing Your Thoughts What you are and what you will become is a product of your habits. You surely realize that you have habits of behavior, but do you know that you also have habits of thought?. If you start noticing your thoughts, you will see that there are certain dualistic thoughts that you routinely think every day, such as, “I hate my terrible job.” www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 35 Wonderful Possibilities A better, more triulistic thought habit would be to think about all the wonderful possibilities that your life contains, for, because your thoughts are creative, it is this type of thinking that can lead to opportunities for career advancement. You Create What You Hate Thinking about how much you hate your “terrible job” only abets the continuation of a job that you hate. Remember always that you create what you hate, and that you can produce something better by thinking something better and being receptive to a better life through better thinking. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 36 What You Hate Ask of all righteous men, Who with guns would be great, Can you not comprehend? You begin what you hate. To wage war is your plan On the sin in your state. Do you not understand? You become what you hate. What you hate does appear To possess power great, As it feeds on your fear. You create what you hate! Boxing your own shadow, Rustling your own cattle, You plunder your own village And suffer your own pillage. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 37 Creative Beliefs Many of your habitual thoughts may be that you have certain financial, intellectual, and emotional limitations. Actually, if you believe that you have any particular limitations, you are creating those limitations. The Way to Progress Maptrics understands that our limited behavioral habits and our apparent personal limitations are just a reflection of our dualistic mental habits. Maptrics knows that the way to progress beyond our current habits of behavior and all other personal limitations is to change our dualistic thinking habits to ones that are more triulistic. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 38 Mental Attitude Is Everything It is not an exaggeration to state that in life mental attitude is everything, forit is your mental attitude, your habitual ways of thinking, your thought patterns, which determine your lot in life. All Spheres of Living Maptrics explains why and how anyone can begin achieving his or her unlimited potential in all spheres of living by changing their habitual ways of thinking. New and Better Thought Habits The only way to get away from your old thinking habits is to acquire new, better, more triulistic ones and that can be done by means of the Maptric method of personal progress. www.thrivunity.com THINK SOMETHING BETTER ch. 1 pg. 39 A Powerful Idea You may have heard the popular self-help slogan: “You can make it happen” but Maptrics prefers the even more powerful slogan: “You can let it happen,” in which the three letters in the word “let” stand for the three steps of the Maptric Method of self-betterment: learn, exercise, and teach. Learn The first step of the Maptric method is, of course, to learn Maptrics, which you can do by studying the threefold truth. Through the study of Maptrics, you can learn how to achieve a better understanding of the threefold truth by utilizing the three sources of all knowledge. www.thrivunity.com 40 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Exercise The second step of the Maptric method is to exercise. If someone told you that to have a healthier, stronger, better body, you have to exercise on a frequent and regular schedule, you probably would not think that was an unreasonable opinion, and that is certainly true if you want to achieve a greatly advanced mental state. The second step of the Maptric method includes a daily routine of exercise that is not made up of physical exercises, but consists of mental calisthenics, which can enable you to improve your thinking habits. The second step of the Maptric three-step method also involves the employment of the scientific knowledge that can be found in the threefold truth, and thus you are able to apply each day, in a practical way, the triulistic learning that you have acquired by performing the previous step. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 41 Teach The third step of the Maptric method is to teach others about Maptrics, which you can do by simply spreading the word about Maptrics to friends, your family, and other people in your life, and a great way to do that is by giving them a text of threefold understanding. Amazing Results Another way to teach others about Maptrics is to demonstrate its effectiveness by applying it to your own life, because when they see your wonderful, amazing results, they may choose to begin studying and using the same method. www.thrivunity.com 42 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Logical Thinking Many people may seem oblivious to the benefits that you have received from using the Maptric method. Mesmerized by the herd mentality of dualistic thinking, the average person has developed a very limited capacity to recognize reality and also little ability to think logically. Happy, Safe, and Fulfilled In the current Duplicitarchy, almost all social institutions such as government, mass media, and schools are being run either directly or through remote control by the Dupliciteurs, who are convinced that the only way they can be happy, safe, and fulfilled is if everyone else on the planet is their slave. The Dupliciteurs' system of inculcation causes most people to be dupes, who are brainwashed into an infatuation with all authority figures and a wholehearted reverence for dualistic dogma. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 43 Self-Empowerment While Maptrics is an ideology dedicated not to the indoctrination of the multitudes but to the self-empowerment of the individualized mind, the Dupliciteurs contrive to manipulate the masses using a carrot-and-stick strategy of alleging, on one hand, a feasible utopia, and on the other, an approaching apocalypse. Personal Freedom Maptrics teaches that every soul can know personal freedom and prosperity by choosing better thoughts, but the Dupliciteurs, blatantly and worldwide, strive constantly to inculcate in the populace the dictum that compliance to social dictates will bring about a future Shangrila, while defiance will ensure total extinction. www.thrivunity.com 44 THINK SOMETHING BETTER The Socialization of Success Along with the humanization of God, the objectification of animals, and the animalization of humans, we can add the socialization of success to the list of mental manacles that the Dupliciteurs have crafted. The notion that social institutions bestow the requirements for successful living is so prevalent that few people can imagine any kind of personal achievement that is not dependent on the benefactions of society. La Dolce Vita One of the most cherished superstitions of the Duplicitarchy is the quaint supposition that the gate to la dolce vita can be opened through the persuasion of other people. Partaking of so-called higher learning, the rapacious Dupliciteurs read that the greatest victory is conquest of self, but such a sentiment doesn't suit them so they continues in their reliance on marketing, machinations, and militarism. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 45 Independent Thinking Using the Maptric method of personal progress, anyone can advance beyond the mass psychology of the Duplicitarchy and embrace the practice of independent thinking while pursuing knowledge of a more comprehensive truth. Every Kind of Improvement Whether they are being performed deliberately or unintentionally, the three steps of the Maptric method are surely the steps that bring every kind of personal improvement to anyone and in any type of undertaking, and Maptrics teaches how these steps can be performed purposely and with much greater effectiveness. www.thrivunity.com 46 THINK SOMETHING BETTER A Mental Method The Maptric three-step method of self-improvement is not a political platform or social movement but is actually a completely mental method and each of its three steps is a totally mental process. Reflections of the Mental The three mental processes of the Maptric method cause non-mental consequences, but those consequences are just reflections of the mental activity that constitutes that method. Transform Your Life It is not the physical actions of picking up a text and opening it, in order to read and study it, that have the power to transform your life, but actually the mental decisions which cause those physical acts to occur that have the capacity to change your life for the better. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 47 Mental Power All power is mental and everything else that appears to be power, such as money or physical strength, is merely the consequence of making choices. Mental Freedom All freedom is mental and within the context of triuth, the universal law of everything, you have the unlimited opportunity to create a life of liberty and happiness. The Continuous You Contrary to what dualistic materialism would have you believe, your mind is not your brain but your soul, the transcendent you that continues to live and progress after your current body, including your brain, has aged and died. www.thrivunity.com 48 THINK SOMETHING BETTER The Processes of Physical Life Physical life is transitory and reflective and, like all things, consists of three processes, beginning with initiation, which is that which is called birth. Initiation is followed by continuation, which is that which is called living. After continuation comes completion, which is that which is called death. Mind is Immortal Mind is immortal and creative and is always reflected by a body. So-called death is actually just the completion of one physical life preceding the initiation of another. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 49 Mind Creates Body Because every individual mind always creates a body, every soul always has not only continuous mental life but also, by means of the reincarnation process, physical life. How to Get to Heaven Many people, pining for the afterlife that they imagine to be heaven, a supposed paradise of trouble-free existence, have not yet understood that, not only is God not a person, but also heaven is not a place. Heaven, like all else that we seek, is only a better way of thinking that can be attained, not through death, but right now at the recurring present moment of life. www.thrivunity.com 50 THINK SOMETHING BETTER The Power of Today By seducing us into either lamenting the past or dreading the future, dualism can hinder us from using the power of today, which is our opportunity to think better thoughts at this very instant. A Better Life The Dupliciteurs tell you to prepare for the future and that one of the essentials to having a better life is acquiring a so-called education, which actually consists mostly of a head full of encyclopedic trivia encased in a dualistic mindset, legitimized by disputable parchment. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 51 Comprehensive Mental Improvement Since it accumulates mainly in your brain, which is an organ of your physical body, and pertains primarily to the frivolous facets of your curriculum vitae, what is learned seldom involves comprehensive mental improvement and has less durability than ink on paper. Soul-Transforming Lessons Because of the destruction of the brain and its contents, people rarely remember their past lives and when they complete any reincarnation through so-called death, they bring to their new life only that which they have learned by means of truly soul-transforming lessons. Your Continuous Immortal Mind. Using the Maptric method, you can achieve lasting knowledge that improves your continuous immortal mind. www.thrivunity.com 52 THINK SOMETHING BETTER A Cosmic Principle Many people have become believers in not only reincarnation but also in a concept called karma, which is actually a Hindu term, but when used by people in western culture, the word karma generally refers to a supposed cosmic principle which causes each person to be rewarded or punished according to that person's deeds. Personal Choices Although the karma concept can help you to understand that your personal choices affect the character of your life, remember that all physical actions are mere reflections of the actor's mental attitude and that the universal law of life responds to your thoughts, not your acts. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 53 Karma Is Consequence Actually, karma is merely consequence either manifested or imminent. and it is not that which is creative but that which is created. How to Improve Your Karma To improve your karma, to create better karma, to have a better life, improve your thoughts. With true mental improvement, you necessarily become a more generous, compassionate, and loving person, and since behavior always reflects mental status, you will behave in a more generous, compassionate, and loving manner and will be blessed in every area of life. www.thrivunity.com 54 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Help Others by Helping Yourself Don’t let Maptrics' focus on self-fulfillment and self-improvement make you think that it promotes a very selfish attitude towards life, for, on the contrary, Maptrics understands that if you help yourself by becoming the very resourceful and very competent person that you have the potential to be, then you can have much more to offer the other souls in your life. Love and Generosity Through Maptrics, as you begin actualizing your unlimited personal potential for love and generosity, you inevitably become an even more loving, generous and compassionate person. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 55 Achieve Peace of Mind Maptrics doesn't tell you to behave this way and not that way because Maptrics does not promote a code of conduct. Maptrics tells you that here is a better way to think, and when you start thinking better, not only do you start behaving and doing better, and receiving greater blessings of every kind, but also you begin to achieve peace of mind and fulfillment no matter what the so-called circumstances that appear to beset you. Important Questions It is reasonable that you would be wondering about the worth of Maptrics. and whether it has any validity, but you can determine that by trying its method and then asking yourself some important questions. www.thrivunity.com 56 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Significantly Better As you use the Maptric method, ask yourself if it works, if your are significantly better off than you would be without it, and if it is significantly better than any other available method? Remember How Far You Have Come It does not matter so much where a self-help method has brought you as how far it has brought you, and that can be known only if you remember where you were when you started. Transitory Appearances It is dualistic thinking that can make us judge people and everything else by transitory appearances. Triulism knows that reality is processive, and thus every thing in life is a process and every so-called condition is just a temporary point in a process. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 57 Think More Triulistically It is essential for anyone who seeks to think more triulistically to remember that all circumstances, situations, attitudes, states, and conditions are fleeting and, having only the appearance of stagnation, consist of processes in unceasing flux. Great Progress Everyone knows that value and also progress are relative and that unless we have a point of reference, we can’t measure either one. When you see a man who is homeless, you might think that he is a very unaccomplished person, but if he used to be a homeless drug-addict and now he is drug-free, he has made great progress and so something in his life is working better. www.thrivunity.com 58 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Make Great Changes You can’t judge a person’s accomplishments unless you know where he has been and where he could have ended up if something hadn’t helped him make great changes. Be Your Own Reference Point Truly every man is the measure of all things in the sense that he is his only means of determining his own personal progress. Although dualistic thinkers judge every person, including themselves, by comparisons to other people, in actuality, you, along with every other individual, are your own reference point. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 59 Believe and Affirm Except for your discovery, understanding, and application of the threefold truth, do not claim to be superior to any soul, but do believe and affirm that you are a much better person, in every way, than you would have been if you had not begun to practice the Maptric three-step method of self-improvement. A Much Better Person Be convinced that by utilizing the Maptric method, anyone can become a much better person than they would otherwise be. www.thrivunity.com 60 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Who is “You?” Let every reader understand that whenever the pronoun you is used in a text of threefold understanding, the person being addresses is not only you, the reader, but also anyone who professes to be a teacher and practitioner, for he or she is also an eternal student of Maptrics. Universal Intelligence Since writing a book, or in fact any creative undertaking, involves accessing a universal intelligence, it is always a revelation to the author as he receives new knowledge and capabilities that were previously beyond his own limited individualized mentality. Every author is simultaneously a writer and reader of his own book. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 61 Both the Reader and the Author Remember always that a book enlightens not only its reader, but also the author. Subjective Knowledge Your life is necessarily subjective because any knowledge you acquire is stored in your own mind and it is impossible for you to escape the realm of your own thinking. Personal Verification Since Maptrics concerns the workings of thought and ideas, your verification of the claims of Maptrics is always personal. www.thrivunity.com 62 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Try It! The only way for you to test the validity of the Maptric way of dealing with the problems of life is to try it! Vast Wealth You can begin your process of mental improvement by accepting that vast wealth or advanced education do not equal a life of great achievement. Whether studying ancient history or current events, we see that the apparent acquirement of the physical and transitory can actually precede so-called downfall and ruin. True achievement consists of those accomplishments that can never be taken away. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 63 An Astute Observation The discriminating and thoughtful reader may allege, with some accuracy, that a text of threefold understanding includes dualistic prose and even dualistic concepts, and there are certainly reasons that such observations may be astute. Help Others Think Better No claim is made that any text of threefold understanding is purged of dualistic thinking, only that the eternal process of advancing from dualism to triulism has begun by means of new thinking and the willingness to help others also think better. www.thrivunity.com 64 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Communicating with the Dualistic When communicating with those who have not yet seen the truth that lies beyond the superstitions perpetuated by the Duplicitarchy, we can speak occasionally of loss, failure, ruin, downfall, and other non-existent dualistic delusions, because we are tailoring our language to that which they can understand. Communicating Triulism It is truly a great challenge to communicate triulism in the dualistic language of the currently dominant culture. The Impossibility of Loss Not only is life always progressive and therefore a reversal of fortune is impossible, but also it is impossible to lose what we don't possess. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 65 Your One Possession You can have actually only one possession and only one freedom and that is your capacity to choose your thoughts and improve your mind. Progressing Beyond It Instead of thinking “I lost it,” think “I left it, because I have progressed beyond it.” Instead of “I possess it,” think “I am accessing it.” All is Process Maptrics, with its triulistic outlook, does not discern reality as a world of static things, situations, and conditions, but instead understands that all existence consists of an infinity of threefold processes. www.thrivunity.com 66 THINK SOMETHING BETTER All Is Change As that which is new is created by the coming together of the three particular things that are essential to the creation of each particular thing, all is change. All Is Process Because each and every thing, idea, or activity is a threefold process, all is process, and therefore there is no disease but only the health process. There is no poverty; there is only the prosperity process. There is no failure, only the success process. All Is Truth Because there is no substance, only the universal law, that is, truth, working always everywhere, all is law. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 67 Points in Processes Whenever the triulistic thinker refers to conditions, states, circumstances, substance, he means the points in processes that appear to be these things. Your Life Is a Process Every process runs its unique course, including the process you call your life. The developments within your life process are determined by your thought habits working in the context of triuth, the universal law. Physical “Possession” Is Temporary You can of course enjoy so-called material acquisitions and there certainly is nothing wrong or unenlightened about doing that, but to keep material things from causing you fear and sadness, remember that there is no physical “possession,” only temporary access. www.thrivunity.com 68 THINK SOMETHING BETTER The Best Path Surely, if your idea of better living is based on the physical, there may come a time when it seems as if your material possessions have been taken away, but since loss is impossible, what has actually happened is that you have left them behind as you progress in learning how unimportant and irrelevant they are to whether you are on the best path. The New Definition of Better Living Truly, Maptrics gives us not only a revolutionary way of improving ourselves, but also a radical and revolutionary definition of better living, which Maptrics calls thrivunity. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 69 The Consequence of Thought Resolve today and every day to always remember that better living is simply a better way of thinking and that all else that you might be tempted to spend your time and energies pursuing is only the consequence of thought. Enjoyment without Dependency Let your goal be to enjoy things material and transitory without being dependent on them for your joy. The Desire for Something Better Of course, living better doesn't mean that you no longer have any problems in life, because a problem is simply the desire for something better. www.thrivunity.com 70 THINK SOMETHING BETTER The Three Basic Personal Drives Maptrics understands that there is an ever-present desire in every individual soul for something better. To strive for improvement is not a matter of choice but is actually an intrinsic process of each soul, that consists of the three never-ceasing basic personal drives: the need for self expression, the need for self-enjoyment, and the need for self-enlightenment. The Meaning of Life The three basic personal drives, which actually constitute the much sought-after purpose or meaning of life, cause us to have dissatisfaction and wants, and whenever we are dissatisfied with a new or old situation, condition, person, or anything else in life, and whenever we want something better, we call that a problem. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 71 Self improvement is Better Thinking Physical circumstance does not constitute a problem. Every problem consists of dissatisfaction, which is the desire for improvement. Every improvement is accomplished through self-improvement. Self-improvement is accomplished through better thinking. Spiritual Solutions Since all problems are mental, the solving of problems consists of the perfecting of thought. Since spirit is all that is perfect, all solutions are therefore spiritual. Let us not forget that the word perfect can be a verb and the process of perfecting can be applied to our mental habits. www.thrivunity.com 72 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Problems Are Blessings It is easy to see that problems are not only inevitable but also are actually blessings because they can motivate each of us to strive for the progressive actualization of our personal potential in every possible way. Problems Are Lessons A problem, or so-call adversity, can be a lesson by showing you what part of your mental attitude you need to work on in order to improve your way of thinking. Higher Achievement Almost everyone believes that the more that he accomplishes, the easier life becomes and the less he has to do, but, of all possible beliefs, not many could be further from the truth. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 73 Greater Rewards In some ways life is truly like a game in which as we become more proficient at dealing with its problems and advance to higher levels of achievement, not only do the rewards that it bestows on us become greater, but also the problems with which it challenges us become even more daunting. Much Is Required It is said that from him who has acquired much, much is required, or put another way, to him who has accomplished much, much is assigned. “Ups and Downs of Life” No matter what you think or do you always have your share of what is sometimes called the “ups and downs of life.” Every day you have to face problems and so-called adversity. www.thrivunity.com 74 THINK SOMETHING BETTER A New and Better Way With a new and better way of thinking, you are able to see that each problem, and all that is designated as adversity, is actually a blessing and an opportunity to grow and learn. Through problems and adversity, you are able to realize what is most important in life. The Most Important Thing The most important thing is not money but the thing that brings you money, that enables you to enjoy money, but also to cope with the so-called loss of money. The most important thing is not health, but the thing that brings you health, that enables you to enjoy health, but also to cope with the so-called loss of health. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 75 The most important thing is not success, but the thing that brings you success, that enables you to enjoy success, but also to cope with the so-called loss of success. The most important thing is not wonderful personal relationships, but the thing that brings you personal relationships, that enables you to enjoy personal relationships, but also to cope with the so-called loss of any personal relationship. The most important thing is a way of thinking that brings all good things to you, but also enables you to see the good in all things. www.thrivunity.com 76 THINK SOMETHING BETTER The Many Opinions There are many opinions about how to get more money and how to be healthier, happier, and more successful, but nothing in materiality is lasting. A better way of making personal progress is one which enables you to achieve and enjoy personal goals without seeking fulfillment and serenity. from the material aspect of your life. How to Think Better To acquire a new and better way of thinking, all you have to do is learn and perform the Maptric three-step method of self-improvement by daily reading and studying a text of threefold understanding and following all the instructions that you find within it. ______________________________________________ www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 77 Trinciples In Maptrics, triulistic principles of personal progress are called trinciples. It is important to study and understand them: One is always three! The key to better living is better thinking. True achievement consists of those accomplishments that can never be taken away. I, and every other person, have an unlimited potential in every area of life. All progress in life results from self-improvement. www.thrivunity.com 78 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Self-improvement results from better thinking. Better thinking can be achieved by using the Maptric three-step method: learn, exercise, and teach. Maptrics is a trideology bringing together the truths of religion, science, and philosophy. ______________________________________________ Word Work The revolutionary new and better way of thinking that constitutes Maptrics requires a revolutionary new and better way of speaking and writing. The usual terminology of the self-improvement field, which is derived from psychology, philosophy, and religion, has been very much over-used and misused, and therefore those words and phrases of the past have lost most of their meaning and usefulness. www.thrivunity.com A BETTER WAY 79 A New Terminology Maptrics is truly a trideology that brings together the truths that can be found in religion, science and philosophy, but it advances beyond the hindrance of overused and misused terms by creating a completely new and fresh terminology. Actually, Maptrics is not only creating new words, but also a completely new language. Multitudinous Meanings When a text of threefold understanding is written in English, or any other dualistic language in which a single word can have up to ten or more meanings, it is necessary to consider the context when deciphering which of the many possible meanings a term is communicating. www.thrivunity.com 80 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Effective Explanation A text of threefold understanding, in order to effectively explain Maptrics, utilizes Maptric nomenclature, may provide a glossary of Maptric meanings, attempts to use words in a consistent way, and encourages the reader to consider the context of each important term. Valuable Tools Words are valuable tools that enable us not only to communicate with others but also to better organize and develop our own thoughts. As part of the daily mental work that the Maptric method requires, master all important terms by studying their definition and use in a text of threefold understanding. ______________________________________________ www.thrivunity.com Chapter 2 STEP ONE: LEARN A student’s mental attitude is definitely the only factor that determines how successful he will be. Some students, having not yet discovered that continuous learning is a necessary part of better living, are just not enthusiastic learners and are actually quite averse to receiving instruction. The Consequences of Ignorance We can easily observe the consequences of an aversion to learning if we contemplate the primitive, to whom the new is terrifying and not to be mastered but destroyed or eluded. www.thrivunity.com 82 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Problem Solving Skills Our aboriginal predecessors probably had problem-solving skills equal to that of human beings of today but their fear of the unknown kept them imprisoned in superstition and deprivation for millennia. Utterly Unprecedented Behold the ubiquitous uninformed of the present-day populace, to whom, every day is utterly unprecedented and every yesterday unfathomable. The Newness of Life A part of life is, of course, a constant stream of newness, but all change is governed by the laws of existence and without an understanding of those universal laws, the occurrences of life are a constant source of befuddlement. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 83 Marveled Feats Long Accomplished And as evidence of the present-day pervasive bewilderment, we witness the incessant celebration of marveled feats long accomplished. With little or no censure, the Dupliciteurs' so-called science hails “innovations,” already in widespread use, as major breakthroughs. The Emperor's New Gadgets Among today's miseducated millions, who lack even the skill to think logically, few point out the antiquity of the emperor's new gadgets and not many more have the inclination to even listen to anyone who speaks the truth. www.thrivunity.com 84 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Knowledge and Learning The ignorant are not only condemned to repeat history, but in fact relish that repetition, knowing not the extent of its repercussions. Truly the people suffer from a lack of knowledge and an inculcated aversion to learning. Machideul With a pantheon similar to ancient paganism, dualistic so-called religion sports many cults, mysteries, sects, and sub-cults, but the Dupliciteurs' penchant for touting phony technological progress reveals their supreme object of worship, Machideul. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 85 The Secret Religion Reverence for Machideul is the secret so-called religion of the Dupliciteurs, hidden from all but the dualistic thinkers who are in the Duplicircle, which is the most inner circle of Dupliciteurial elites. The God Machine Machideul worship is actually a ploy in progress, in which the intention is to build a God machine, that is in fact a God slave, whose cosmological capabilities will be controlled by the Duplicitarchy. www.thrivunity.com 86 THINK SOMETHING BETTER A God in Their Own Image Most religionists profess God to be their creator, but the Dupliciteurs, eclipsing the tower of Babel and all other vanities, intrigue obsessively to sire a God in their own supposed image, which is actually an electromechanical idol. Frankensteinian Fury Most religionists humbly seek to serve God, but the Dupliciteurs, with a Frankensteinian fury, contrive to enslave a God of their own making. Because they are nonplussed by the problems of mind and spirit, present-day so-called scientists turn their efforts to the material arena which they imagine to be more comprehensible and thus they worship a God-Machine-to-be and are busy creating a god of their own design. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 87 Dualistic Logic Machideulic so-called religion is derived from the following dualistic logic: God is a person. A person is an animal. An animal is an object that per- forms functions. Objects that perform functions are machines. It is from dualistic absurd reasoning, that the Dupliciteurs conclude that God is a machine. The Consummate Slave The robot is, of course, not only the ultimate machine but also the consummate slave and this is why the Dupliciteurs are so hellbent on turning humanity into a bionic chain gang. www.thrivunity.com 88 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Not a Robot I'm not a robot. I'm not a machine. I think my own thoughts, I dream my own dreams. There's no way I'm slaving for you. Won't do the dirty work You want me to. You need a tool To accomplish your crimes. But I'm a soul Who has his own mind. You can plot And you can scheme But I'm not a robot. I'm not a machine. Sons and daughters, I don't think you oughta Steal and slaughter For a new world order. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 89 A Truer Religion Technology, the present-day avatar of Machideul must be ceaselessly promoted as the savior of humanity or else the dupes may turn to a truer religion, one that does not advance the greedy goals of the Dupliciteurs, and this is why technological progress, whether fake or factual, must be constantly heralded to the masses. Don't Be Distracted The purpose of exposing the Dupliciteurs is not to incite political or social activism, but only to try to insure that you are not distracted by their indoctrination devices from working to improve your own thinking, which is that which constitutes the only path to your actual advancement. www.thrivunity.com 90 THINK SOMETHING BETTER True Progress True progress in any field of human aspiration begins with the earnest study of that subject. Reading and studying Maptrics, you will of course be performing the first step, which is to learn about Maptrics. An Endless Endeavor The typical music student can learn to play pretty well after about a year of instruction, but learning a musical instrument can actually be an endless endeavor, because there is always more to discover and learn about the piano, the guitar, or anything else that we might choose to study. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 91 Joyfully Embrace the Process And so, in order to better progress in life, don't grudgingly submit to instruction, but, instead, joyfully embrace the process of lifelong learning. Prodigious Progress To some people it may seem so obvious that it doesn’t even need to be stated: Prodigious personal progress proceeds from the proclivity to study and learn. To other people, the triulistic principle of lifelong learning apparently is not so apparent. www.thrivunity.com 92 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Open to New Knowledge All of us have certain dualistic ways of thinking that limit our ability to learn, and therefore, acquiring the triulistic habit of being always open to new knowledge is a necessary part of the first step of the Maptric three-step method. The Three Sources of Knowledge While emphasizing the importance of learning, it is pertinent to enumerate the three sources of knowledge and understanding which Maptrics calls comprehension. Intuition Intuition is the receiving of knowledge directly into the mind, which is sometimes called a hunch, a gut feeling, a premonition, or even as what religion sometimes calls a revelation. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 93 True Religion Intuition, in the context of the other two types of knowledge, is the basis of all true religion. Experience The second source of comprehending is experience. Through experience, you receive understanding from the events that you undergo and from the study of the processes in your life and their outcome. True Science Experience, in the context of the other two types of knowledge, is the basis of all true science. www.thrivunity.com 94 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Reason The third source of comprehension is reason, which is understanding received by combining truth with other truth in order to discover more truth. Reason is what is sometimes called logic. True Philosophy Reason, in the context of the other two types of knowledge, is the basis of all true philosophy. Triulistic Understanding It is by the coming together of all three of these sources of knowledge, intuition, experience, and reason, that all true religion, science, and philosophy are created and triulistic, comprehensive understanding is advanced. It is because of the triulistic nature of understanding that Maptrics may be called not only a science but also a philosophy, and a religion. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 95 How Maptric Was Discovered Most people have a prejudice concerning which type of knowledge is valid. It is by being open to all sources of knowledge that Maptrics, the new science of personal progress, was discovered and developed. A New and Better Life The Maptric method of self-improvement is, of course, a mental process made up of other mental processes. It is a completely new and better way of thinking, that encompasses a completely new and better way of looking at life, and that brings about thrivunity, which is a completely new and better way of living life. www.thrivunity.com 96 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Life-Changing Ideas Through the study of Maptrics you can learn a group of very powerful life-changing ideas which can help you achieve your new and better way of thinking. These revolutionary concepts are encapsulated in statements that are called the three Maptric trirectives. Trirectives The dictionary defines a directive as “something that serves to direct, guide, and usually impel toward an action or goal.” The three Maptric directives are called trirectives because of their three-fold nature and their triulistic consequences. They are the ideological core of the Maptric daily mental exercise routine. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 97 Effective Prayer Since Maptrics is not only a philosophical and scientific belief system but also a religious one, a Maptric trirective can be accurately conceived to be a triulistic prayer. Maptrics understands that the only effective prayer is one in which the person praying is working to use the truth that is God to improve his or her own thinking. Perfect Truth God is perfect truth, always present and available. Improvement in your life and your thinking can be accomplished not by the persuasion of God or any person but by the advancement of your own understanding of the nature of God. www.thrivunity.com 98 THINK SOMETHING BETTER The Power of Repetition To understand the power of repetition, it is essential to discern that all repetition is progressive, for every repetition, though similar to the previous repetition, is not only different but also better than the previous. Different and Better Your thought habits, which constitute your mental attitude, consist of the repetition of very similar thoughts. The Maptric method enables you to make each of your thought repetitions more different and much better than the previous one. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 99 Free Your Thoughts You can make each of the Maptric trirectives a more fundamental part of your thinking by reading and studying daily the three fold truth and following all the instructions that are given within it. If you do that, then you have begun to free your thoughts from the limitations of dualism. Triulistic Thinking The study of Maptrics can help you understand that it is through repetition, by thinking similar thoughts over and over again, that you have established your current way of thinking, and it is through repetition that you can create your new, better, more triulistic way of thinking. www.thrivunity.com 100 THINK SOMETHING BETTER The First Trirective At least once every day, mentally repeat the first Maptric trirective: My highest priority and greatest pleasure is doing mental work that causes every kind of improvement in my life. I daily learn, exercise, and teach the truth that brings all blessings. Daily Mental Repetition You can perform the daily mental repetition of the first trirective by reading or writing it, speaking or singing it, listening to it being spoken or sung, or by simply thinking it. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 101 The Meaning of the First Trirective The first Maptric trirective begins with the words, “My highest priority” and there are good reasons for us to make mental work our highest priority. You Can Choose Today many things compete for your attention, but you can choose to what are you going to devote your time and energies. Choosing Priorities The beginning of any great achievement is to make it a high priority, and the beginning of the Maptric method is to choose to make its performance your highest priority. www.thrivunity.com 102 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Improve Your Way of Thinking Many other seemly important things demand your attention, but if you remember that everything flows from your mental attitude, you then can understand that nothing can be improved without improving first your habitual way of thinking. The Power of Pleasure The desire for pleasure can be a powerful force for progress in every life, and, in fact, the need for enjoyment is one of the three personal drives that constitute the purpose of life, but most people associate pleasure with the physical and consider its pursuit as something less than high-minded. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 103 All Pleasure Is Mental Although, much enjoyment can surely be obtained by fixating on the sensual, the enlightened, triulistic thinker is learning that actually all pleasure is mental, and moreover he is beginning to understand also that it is possible for him to receive much more pleasure by focusing on the mental work that can improve his own thinking. Pain and Pleasure Are Opinions A more enlightened triulistic thinker understands that pleasure, pain, fear, sadness, and other emotions are only thoughts and beliefs and that all such sentiments are merely opinions, and that furthermore, with sufficient mental work, we can change those beliefs concerning what is pleasurable and painful in the same way that we are able to change our other opinions. www.thrivunity.com 104 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Causative Improvement All causative improvement is personal and mental and all non-mental improvement is consequential of mental improvement. Greater Effectiveness Whether they are being performed deliberately or without awareness, the three steps of the Maptric method are truly the mental work that brings every kind of personal improvement to anyone and in any type of undertaking, but, Maptrics teaches how these steps can be performed purposely and with much greater effectiveness. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 105 How to Begin To begin using the three-step Maptric method more effectively, in order to acquire new and better triulistic thinking habits, you can make it the most important part of your life. Several times a day you can routinely abandon all superficial concerns and material pleasures of your day-to-day life and begin to focus on and enjoy that which can create tremendous improvement in your day-to-day life. A Warning Because the Maptric self-improvement method is so powerful and effective, a warning is now issued to you: Beware the so-called blessings! www.thrivunity.com 106 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Immense Change When you change your way of thinking so dramatically and start reaping the awesome physical abundance that can result from such immense change, it’s easy to get caught up in enjoying all the new material goodies that have entered your life and not advance as much mentally as you might otherwise have. So-Called Blessings Be sure to remember that what is often called blessings is merely the consequences of the actual blessings that always consist of better thoughts. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 107 Your Increasing Abundance Of course, there’s nothing wrong with relishing your increasing material abundance, but it’s important to remember more and more that the process that produced all these new so-called blessings is one that requires daily mental work in order that you continue to make momentous progress in actualizing your unlimited multifaceted personal potential. Progressive Enlightenment The purpose of life, the three basic personal drives, require that not only enjoyment and creativity abound but also progressive enlightenment, and therefore, please do enjoy yourself., go forth and celebrate your growing abundance but so that you would not be tempted to stray from the truth seeker’s path: Beware the so-called blessings! www.thrivunity.com 108 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Life Is Progressive Life is always progressive. We can never lose ground or be deprived of that which we have acquired because all achievements and possessions are mental. All that is mental is of the mind, not the brain, which is an organ of the transitory physical body, while the mind is eternal and the same as that which is called the soul. All Progress Is Progressive A part of the progressiveness of life is progress itself. We are not only always progressing but also we can always increase how much we are progressing. In other words, we can increase our increasing by focusing more on mental work instead of the material results of our mental work. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 109 The Path to Progress Daily mental work is the path to thrivunity, for it is the mental progress that produces personal improvement in every possible way. You can become a daily practitioner of that mental work that constitutes the Maptric method by studying a text of threefold understanding every day, by following the practical instructions found within it, and by developing a generous attitude that causes you to share the truths that you have learned. ______________________________________________ www.thrivunity.com 110 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Trinciples In Maptrics, triulistic principles of personal progress are called trinciples. It is important to study and understand them: One is always three! My mental attitude is the only factor that determines my personal progress. Continuous learning is an essential part of better living. The beginning of learning is to make learning a high priority. The beginning of the Maptric method is to make its performance your highest priority. www.thrivunity.com STEP ONE: LEARN 111 The three sources of all knowledge are intuition, experience, and reason. Daily mental work is the path to the mental progress that produces every kind of personal improvement. ______________________________________________ www.thrivunity.com Chapter 3 STEP TWO: EXERCISE “Use it or lose it” is a saying that is meant to emphasize the importance of utilizing our assets and abilities. Although “To improve it, use it,” is not as catchy as “use it or lose it,” it is a more triulistic expression, which by remembering, you can learn how to improve your advancement in any acquired knowledge, and how to begin receiving more of the benefits of having that knowledge. The Maptric Understanding By reading and studying, you can learn how to perform the second step of the Maptric method, exercise. In the context of the Maptric method, the term exercise refers not to a physical workout, but to the utilization and application of any acquired understanding of the Maptric trideology. www.thrivunity.com STEP TWO: EXERCISE 113 Personal Potentiality It is through personal potentiality, not politics, that progress is made. It is through mental capacity, not rights, that better living is achieved. While others strive to exercise their so-called right to vote, you can choose to exercise your own ability to bring about true change and improvement in your life and the lives of others through better, more triulistic thinking. Politics Employs Police As far as any kind of true progress is concerned, politics is pointless, and without police, it is even more so. Politics is almost a synonym for police, for the ultimate concern of all political activity is deciding who will be able to wield the strong arm of the law in order to control other people through the threat of imprisonment and execution. www.thrivunity.com 114 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Control Yourself, Not Other People Instead of being preoccupied with acquiring civil rights by controlling other people, by threatening them with supposed police powers, Maptrics teaches how each and every soul can indeed live a better life by taking control of his own thoughts. A Practical Approach The Maptric approach to the problems of life is certainly a practical one, and furthermore the benefits from the Maptric method of self-betterment come to a large extent from the daily practice of that method. Ask yourself daily: Am I utilizing the Maptric method today? www.thrivunity.com STEP TWO: EXERCISE 115 Practice What You Learn Truly one way to apply any learning, such as the knowledge of how to play a musical instrument, is to practice. An Avenue of Advancement If, at a weekly music class, the instructor teaches you a new song or technique, then by doing it daily, by practicing it, by repeating it, you can master it and be ready to learn something new when your next class comes around. Truly, the learn/practice routine is an avenue of advancement that is used in every educational endeavor, no matter what the subject. The Power of Performance Another powerful way to progress in learning is to take advantage of any opportunity for an actual performance. www.thrivunity.com 116 THINK SOMETHING BETTER An Excellent Way Whether it’s playing your musical instrument at a party or using your budding foreign language skills to chat with a native speaker, performing is an excellent way to advance in any subject that you are attempting to master. Focused and Confident The exercise of learning through performance can help you to be more focused and can also build your self-confidence. Useful and Usable Every field of study has a useful and usable benefit for our lives, and so, instead of just carrying our Maptric learning around in our heads, we can put it to use. www.thrivunity.com STEP TWO: EXERCISE 117 Do It! By using Maptrics, we can expand its usefulness and its scope, and so don’t just study the Maptric method and how to do it--do it! Begin to Free Your Thoughts You can make each of the Maptric trirectives a more fundamental part of your thinking by reading and studying daily a text of threefold understanding and following all the instructions that are given, and if you do that, then you have begun to free your thoughts from the limitations of dualism. www.thrivunity.com 118 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Over and Over Again The study of Maptrics can help you understand that it is through repetition, by thinking similar thoughts over and over again, that you have established your current way of thinking, and it is through repetition that you can create your new, better, more triulistic way of thinking. The Second Trirective At least once every day mentally repeat the second Maptric trirective: Whatever is I am. Whatever I am I am thinking. Whatever I am thinking I can choose to change, so I choose right now to think something better. www.thrivunity.com STEP TWO: EXERCISE 119 Daily Mental Repetition You can perform the daily mental repetition of the second trirective by reading or writing it, speaking or singing it, listening to it being spoken or sung, or by simply thinking it. The Most Changeable Thing The understanding of the second trirective can begin by considering a mirror, specifically, the image on the reflective surface of a mirror, which is perhaps the most changeable thing in the material world. www.thrivunity.com 120 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Change the Reflected To change the image that you see in a mirror, you only have to change whatever it is reflecting and there are several ways that that can be easily done, but there are also ways that would make it much harder to do. You could change a mirror image by painting a different image on top of it, and no matter how ridiculous such an action might be, we are indeed continuously doing a nearly identical thing. The Reflective World The nature of a mirror image can be instructive because it is so much like something with which we are constantly interacting—the reflective world. www.thrivunity.com STEP TWO: EXERCISE 121 Concepts and Connotations In the English language the word world can convey many different concepts and connotations but the term reflective world means that which to most people appears to exist outside of and separate from them. Your World Your reflective world can include your physical body, your home, your job, your finances, your personal relationships, your neighbors, your neighborhood, your planet and the whole universe in which you live your physical life. www.thrivunity.com 122 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Reflection It is limited dualistic thinking that can cause you to not see that your world of physical things and relationships is actually a reflective part of you, but a more comprehensive, triulistic understanding can enable you to see that we are each composed of three processes, one of which is reflection. Changeable Reflection includes not only everything that we can become aware of through our physical senses, but moreover anything whatsoever that is changeable and has no initiative capacity. A World Like a Mirror The world of sensations is indeed a mirror, that doesn’t control us; but just reflects us. www.thrivunity.com STEP TWO: EXERCISE 123 We See Ourselves and How We Are However, because of limited dualistic understanding, we often try to change the reflection without changing that which it reflects, which is the same as trying to change the image reflected by a mirror by using paint. Painting a mirror really doesn’t accomplish what we want to happen, because the paint just destroys one of the purposes of the mirror, which is to enable us to see ourselves and how we are. The Reflection Is Real The triulistic understanding does not deny that the reflective world is real, but only explains that, it has certain characteristics and its own way of working. www.thrivunity.com 124 THINK SOMETHING BETTER The Course of Worldly Events Certainly, the laws and processes of physics do exist but they are the slaves of mental power and the actual course of all worldly events is determined by mental processes. Mind Initiates Put succinctly, the truth is this, the physical may facilitate, but the mental initiates. The Threefold Nature of All Things The central philosophical foundation of Maptrics is the discernment of the threefold nature of all things, which is the totally unique thinking of the Maptric approach to the problems of life. www.thrivunity.com STEP TWO: EXERCISE 125 An Infinity of Threefold Processes Maptrics understands that we live in an infinity of threefold processes. Maptrics is founded on the revolutionary discovery that one is always three. Triuality In Maptrics, reality itself is seen as a triuality, consisting of three universal processes: Perfection is that part of triuality that is sometimes called spirit and that which is the best of all existence. Reflection includes that part of triuality which is called physical and whatsoever is changeable, transitory, and has no initiative power. Trirection is that which is often called mind, and is that part of triuality that initiates change. It is that which is reflected and has the power even to change itself. www.thrivunity.com 126 THINK SOMETHING BETTER A Treasured Diversion Because of the dualistic superstition called substance, one of the treasured diversions of dualism is the questioning of what is “real” or “unreal.” Things Are What They Do Triulism, unlike dualism, understands that the only “substance” that any thing has is the process that it constitutes and that things are what they do and have no reality other than that. The Uses of Reflection In spite of and actually because of the entirely reflective nature of that which is sometimes called the world, we can find many valuable uses for it. We can enjoy the physical, we can express ourselves through it, and we can learn from it, and truly it serves as a tool in the fulfilling of all three basic personal drives. www.thrivunity.com STEP TWO: EXERCISE 127 How Life Works One of the most limiting dualistic thinking habits is that which causes you to believe that you and your world are two separated things. To understand life and how it works, you can choose to discern that everything in your life is connected to you and reflects your thinking patterns. How to Change the World You can choose to see that since your world only reflects you, it can only be changed when you change yourself mentally, and, as you begin to more completely understand and believe that truth, you can begin to more fully actualize your unlimited personal potential. www.thrivunity.com 128 THINK SOMETHING BETTER What You Think You have what you think you have. You live where you think you live. You are who you think you are. Thrivunity Is Better Living The goal of the Maptric three-step method of self-improvement is to produce thrivunity, which is better living by means of the better thinking that promotes and is poactrization. The Ultimate Source By simply being willing to change your thoughts to better more triulistic ones, you can receive them from universal mind, the ultimate source of all thought, whether they arrive through reading and studying a text of threefold understanding or from some other personal medium. www.thrivunity.com STEP TWO: EXERCISE 129 Universal Intelligence Because your mentality, and that of every other person. consists of not only a personal mind but also a unity with the unlimited universal mind, you can acquire better thoughts directly from universal intelligence. Easy Improvement Whenever you have a difficult problem in life, you can easily improve it by simply thinking: I choose right now to think something better. Or you can just think the words something better. Simple and Powerful Thinking simple but incredibly powerful thoughts can begin to free your mind from dualism because you have become more open and receptive to better, more triulistic thinking. www.thrivunity.com 130 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Why Our Thoughts Are Powerful Our thoughts have power because of the threefold oneness of each and every individualized mind with universal trirection, which is the universal mind of the mental, spiritual, and reflective truth which creates, controls, and constitutes all existence. The Mind of God Your mind is one with the mind of God. Using your mental unity with the mind of God, you have the capacity to perfect your own thinking and the progress of your thinking is always reflected in every aspect of your life. www.thrivunity.com STEP TWO: EXERCISE 131 Delineation Many times, instead of being receptive to the best blessings that universal creative intelligence has available, people limit their own personal progress by delineating in their own individualized mind precisely what they believe they need. Better results can occur if we trust the unlimited universal mind to provide us always with that which perfectly fulfills our needs. Better is Best Becoming more open to what is actually better, and trusting infinite creativity to determine the details of that, we can advance beyond the limitations of our own personal understanding. www.thrivunity.com 132 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Be Receptive By being receptive to that which is better, you become open to receiving that which is best in the context of your current level of mental progress. Universal perfect law always gives us only what we are ready to receive and whatever can advance our mental progress. Exercising Enlightenment The second Maptric trirective reveals to us how easy it is to perform the second step of the Maptric method of personal progress. Exercising the enlightened understanding acquired using the first step of the Maptric method is simply a matter of improving our habitual thinking with that triulistic understanding by means of mental repetition. ______________________________________________ www.thrivunity.com STEP TWO: EXERCISE 133 Trinciples In Maptrics, triulistic principles of personal progress are called trinciples. It is important to study and understand them: One is always three! To improve it, use it. The physical may facilitate, but the mental initiates. Things are what they do. To increase the learning that I am receiving, and to begin receiving more of the benefits of having it, I can choose to put it to use. www.thrivunity.com 134 THINK SOMETHING BETTER My world just reflects me and can only be changed when I change myself. By being willing to change my thoughts to better more triulistic ones, I enable universal intelligence to provide me with better, more triulistic thought patterns. ______________________________________________ www.thrivunity.com Chapter 4 STEP THREE: TEACH By studying Maptrics, the new science of personal progress, you can learn that life is always progressive and that part of the progressiveness of life is progress itself and that, therefore, in addition to continuously progressing, we can always increase how much we are progressing by focusing more on mental work instead of the material results of our mental work. Increasingly Better The Maptric method is a way of not only making better personal progress but also increasingly better personal progress. www.thrivunity.com 136 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Be a Teacher To better progress in life, you can be more than just a student and a practitioner—you can also be a teacher. Our Problem in Life A rich man might say, “I'm already successful, so why would I want to be a teacher?” but such a response merely demonstrates that our problem in life is not negative thinking, but is actually limited, dualistic thinking. Advancement in Every Area of Life The triulistic thinker, who is progressing beyond self-imposed dualistic mental limitations, understands that personal advancement is something that can be desired, not merely in matters financial and professional, but in every area of life. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 137 A Wide Range of Concerns Personal relationships, health, creativity, education, recreation, and spirituality are some examples of the wide range of concerns in which someone might like to improve. The Prioritizing of Truth The Maptric viewpoint is that enhanced betterment in anything personal begins with the prioritizing of truth and that is why the Maptric three-step method is the performance of that prioritization because it is a better way of thinking, the preoccupation of which is to study, utilize, and share the threefold truth. Living Perfected When truth is prioritized, when the Maptric method is performed, all the processes of living are perfected. www.thrivunity.com 138 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Put Truth First Since God is truth, spirit is perfection, and Maptrics is the science of perfecting the understanding of truth, the Maptric method promotes the truly spiritual approach to life and the true implementation of the popular exhortation “Put God first.” A Different Kind of Success There is surely a different kind of “success” than is usually sought, which is not a money type of success, but a more important and more thorough kind. To be progressively improving more comprehensively is to be a truly accomplished person. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 139 Better Thinking Reflected The triulistic thinker understands that personal progress in any area of life is achieved by, and, in fact, consists of, mental progress. The triulistic thinker understands that every kind of apparent material improvement, such as financial and health betterment, is just the reflection of better thinking. A Universal Law of Life The triulistic thinker knows that teaching is one of three mental activities that can produce true personal progress for anyone who performs them. He knows that there is a universal law of life that requires that whatever he wants to have he has to be willing to give, and, furthermore, that whatever he wants to learn he has to be willing to teach. www.thrivunity.com 140 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Learn to Use Universal Law You can learn how to use this universal law and thus continue your progress from dualism towards a more triulistic way of thinking by reading and studying this chapter, which explains the third step of the Maptric Method: teaching. Fresh and Different That the student is a beneficiary in the teaching process, we all understand, but it is not widely realized that the teacher also benefits from that process as each new student brings a fresh and different viewpoint to the subject that is being taught. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 141 The Schooling of the Sage They wondered at his wisdom, And marveled at his acumen, But their abstruseness was assuaged, When the seeker schooled the sage! The Enlightened Teacher Truly the seeker of greater understanding shall school a sagacious instructor and the enlightened teacher will become the apprentice of his pupil. Surely one measure of the sagacity of any teacher is a tendency to learn from his students. The Challenge of Teaching You can learn so much while teaching your students. They will ask questions that challenge you and make you think and learn. Their quest for greater knowledge and skill inspires you to examine your assumptions and to seek and acquire more learning for yourself. www.thrivunity.com 142 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Teacher Qualifications Truly every person is a unique and precious individualized mind, and that every soul is acquiring his own rare and special strengths, insights, and mental skills, and therefore everyone can be a teacher to some degree. Look for Opportunities By practicing the Maptric method of personal progress, you are daily increasing your triulistic knowledge. To receive many blessings, both educationally and otherwise, look for opportunities to teach what you know. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 143 How to Teach Maptrics You can teach others by simply spreading the word about Maptrics to friends, your family, and other people in your life. One way you can do that is by giving them a copy of a text of threefold understanding. Another Way of Teaching Another way to teach others about Maptrics is to demonstrate its effectiveness by applying the Maptric method to your own life. Seeing your unprecedented results, they may choose to also begin studying and using the Maptric method. www.thrivunity.com 144 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Your Willingness to Share But whether or not they respond to your extraordinary example, it is you who will be manifesting your willingness to share your triulistic enlightenment and you surely will be rewarded every day with even greater mental progress. Free Your Thoughts You can make each of the Maptric trirectives a more fundamental part of your thinking by reading and studying a text of threefold understandingevery day and following all the instructions that are given within it. By doing that, you have begun to free your thoughts from the limitations of dualism. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 145 New, Better, More One of the many truths that the study of Maptrics can help you understand is that it is through repetition, by thinking similar thoughts over and over again, that you have established your current way of thinking, and it is through repetition that you can create your new, better, more triulistic way of thinking. The Third Trirective Therefore, at least once every day mentally repeat the third Maptric trirective: Through comprehension, confirmation, and cultivation, I am actualizing my unlimited potential and therefore always progressing in love, beauty, peace, success, health, wealth, freedom, happiness, and wisdom. www.thrivunity.com 146 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Daily Performance Whether you perform the daily mental repetition of the third trirective by reading it, writing it, speaking or singing it, listening to it being spoken or sung, or by simply thinking it, be sure to focus on and be receptive to its deeper meaning. Advanced Maptrics If you seek an advanced understanding of Maptrics, begin by mastering it basic principles. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 147 Immediate and Dramatic The study of Maptrics provides you first a brief and very practical guide to using the Maptric method, so that you can create immediate and dramatic improvement in every aspect of your life. Advanced Thinking The goal of Maptrics is thrivunity, which is better living through better thinking. Thrivunity becomes possible with triconsciousness, which is that level of advanced thinking in which a progressing, eternal soul, after myriad reincarnations, attains that mental capacity which is the essence of being human. www.thrivunity.com 148 THINK SOMETHING BETTER An Opportune Incarnation Having become triconscious, and thus able to discern and understand the truth that is God, every individualized mind can choose, at the point of an opportune incarnation, to learn and practice the Maptric method of self-betterment. Mental Accomplishments Then, after triconsciousness and the Maptric method become present in any individualized mind, that coming together of mental accomplishments inaugurates and promotes poactrization, which is the third and final mental process of thrivunity. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 149 Potential Becomes Actual In poactrization, potentiality becomes actuality. Stated more simply, and succinctly, that which can be becomes that which is. Creative Capacity Using the Maptric three-step method: learn, exercise, and teach, you can use the creative capacity of your own mind to promote your poactric process. Thus your unlimited potential for better health, better finances, better personal relationships and a better life in general can begin to become actual. www.thrivunity.com 150 THINK SOMETHING BETTER A Process of Self-change You, like every other person, are composed of three all-encompassing processes of triuality: perfection, reflection, and trirection. Through use of your trirectional process, your mind, you can create change in all the sub-processes of yourself, which includes your health, your finances, your personal relationships, and all other aspects of your life. When the Maptric method is used, the process of self-change becomes poactrization, a purposeful actualization of your unlimited personal potential. The Changer of All Things Maptrics understands that mental reality is the controller and changer of all things in life and that what many people see as powerful, the apparent forces of the material world, are actually directed by the mind. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 151 All Blessings Are Mental Many people believe that a blessing can be a material thing or a physical situation or condition, but actually a blessing is always composed of only thought. The thought that constitutes a blessing may be reflected in the material world but its actual location is in the mind and therefore strive daily to understand this simple statement: if it is in your life, it is in your thoughts. Comprehension Poactrization consists of three mental processes. The first process of poactrization is that which is called comprehension and is that whichis the knowledge and understanding of potentiality. www.thrivunity.com 152 THINK SOMETHING BETTER The Three Types of All Knowledge To comprehend potentiality is, like poactrization itself, a threefold processand is that which can be understood as being the three types of all knowledge. Intuition The first process in the comprehension of potentiality is intuition. To comprehend through intuition is to receive knowledge directly into the mind without any kind of medium and is the intuitive acquisition of understanding, which you may have experienced as a hunch, a gut feeling, a premonition, or even as what religion sometimes calls a revelation. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 153 intuitive comprehension The three types of intuitive comprehension are love, beauty, and peace. love True love consists of admiration, desire, and compassion. It is through the understanding of love that the enlightened soul is compassionate and serene, while the cruel one is befuddled when contemplating the problems of life. beauty Beauty is the appeal and pleasingness which, like goodness, is omnipresent in all existence and is better discerned as its beholder progresses beyond dualistic mental limitations. www.thrivunity.com 154 THINK SOMETHING BETTER peace You can know and have peace despite all so-called circumstances. Because all peace is mental, all peace is personal. Experience The second source of comprehending is experience. Through experience, you receive understanding from the events that you undergo and from the study of the processes in your life and their outcome. experiential comprehension The three types of experiential comprehension are success, health, and wealth. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 155 success The success process is the setting of goals and the formation and execution of plans to achieve them. The triulistic thinker is learning that, although it is beneficial to make plans and have goals, irregardless of whatever goals or plans we acquire, the best thing always happens. This means that the quest for success is always successful. health Your physical body and your physical life itself is the reflection of the mental process that produces health. Sometimes you may like that physical reflection of your mental health process and sometimes you may not like it and want to improve it, but it is always the perfect reflection of your mental habits and can be improved by improving your thinking. www.thrivunity.com 156 THINK SOMETHING BETTER physical life A person sometimes may say “I have good health” and sometimes he may say “I have bad health” but “bad health” is dualistic superstition. Maptric knows that there is no bad health or so-called disease and that all physical health reflects the mental and all thoughts are good and getting better. how to meditate Meditation is often cited as a type of better thinking that is conducive to improved health but to meditate is simply to focus the mind on something. To focus your mind on anything, all you need to do is think about it. the three types of meditation There are three types of commonplace meditation, which are differentiated by that which is the specific focus of each one. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 157 focus your mind If you are what is called awake, it is because your mind is focused on its own reflection. If you are what is called dreaming, your mind is focused on itself. If you are what is called sleeping, your mind is focused on spirit, which is that which offers an archetype of your mind perfected. sleep is spiritual Sleep is essential to improving your health because it is during sleep that your mind is focused on, among other things, the archetype in spirit that is manifested by your physical body. Dualistic so-called science portrays sleep as a physical activity of the brain but Maptrics knows that sleep is actually a mental and spiritual process. www.thrivunity.com 158 THINK SOMETHING BETTER wealth Maptrics states that there is a better way to acquire more money but this is not because Maptrics offers a get-rich-quick scheme. Maptrics understands that personal progress is not achieved by pursuing an opulent life style, or any such ephemeral end. fulfillment and joy Even though better thinking can surely result in more money and luxury in the material aspect of your life, the better way that Maptrics advocates involves the enjoyment of all physical consequence without being dependent on it for fulfillment and joy. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 159 Reason The third source of comprehension is reason, which is understanding received by combining truth with other truth in order to discover more truth, which is what is sometimes called logic. rational comprehension The three types of rational comprehension are freedom, happiness, and wisdom. freedom You have actually only one freedom and that is your capacity to choose your thoughts and thus improve your mind. www.thrivunity.com 160 THINK SOMETHING BETTER a life of liberty All personal freedom is mental. Within the context of triuth, the universal law of everything, you have the unlimited opportunity to create a life of liberty by choosing your thoughts. think more freely And using your free will, which consists of your capacity to think more freely by advancing beyond the limitations of dualism, you can utilize the processes that constitute truth to achieve a better life through better thinking. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 161 happiness Because of the three basic personal drives, the dissatisfaction which is the desire for betterment, exists always in every individualized mind, but the triulistic thinker is learning that happiness is not a happening but a deliberate mental act. understanding the threefold truth So-called sadness is limited dualistic thinking. Happiness is the understanding of the threefold truth that is God. www.thrivunity.com 162 THINK SOMETHING BETTER wisdom You do not have to acquire encyclopedic knowledge in order to have the learning that can enable you to progress in life. This world has a plentiful supply of those who have been educated by dualistic academia but are still befuddled concerning the problems of life. become wise in all things Through triulistic knowledge, you can become wise in all things. By means of the Maptric mental method, you can begin to make wise decisions in life and your creative powers in any field of the arts and sciences can be unleashed from the limitations of dualism. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 163 advancing comprehension Comprehension is advanced by a blending of all three of the comprehension processes: intuition, experience, and reason, in which they all facilitate and support each other. Confirmation The second process of poactrization is confirmation. Your poactrization includes the confirming of your potential, which means that you acquire a belief in your own unlimited capacity to have wealth, health, and happiness, and great accomplishment in all areas of life. Confirmation is a type of faith. www.thrivunity.com 164 THINK SOMETHING BETTER faith is freedom's price An analysis of the realities of human existence reveals faith to be freedom's price. If absolute assurance were attained, it would eliminate not only the need for faith but also the possibility of individual freedom. appreciation The confirmation of your potentiality requires, of course, the performance of three processes, the first of these is appreciation, whichis the mental habit of acknowledging to yourself all the wonderful blessings that you have achieved, all the abundance that you now have in your life. Appreciation is a form of gratitude. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 166 approbation The second process in the confirmation of potentiality is approbation, which is the mental habit of acknowledging to yourself the goodness of all that you now have in your life. Approbation, being more than just acceptance of all the inevitable “ups and downs of life,” is believing that each thing in your life is good, and perfect according to your needs at this point in your mental progression. expectation The third process in the confirmation of potentiality is expectation, beingthe mental habit of always expecting your life to get better and better in every way, is more than just hope because it is the belief that the future will always bring only greater good. www.thrivunity.com 166 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Cultivation The third process of poactrization is cultivation, which consists of developing the manifesting potentiality that you have begun to comprehend and confirm. perception The cultivation of potentiality requires, of course, the performance of three processes, the first of which is perception, the process of looking for your potentiality among your current acquirements and accomplishments by recognizing of the blessings you have now. So often people are seeking something new because they do not discern that they already have the very thing they are looking for. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 167 projection The second process in the cultivation of potentiality is projection, which is the mental habit of being willing to share your blessings. Projection is a form of generosity. a generous soul The enlightened mind is a generous soul who understands that whatever he wants to have he has to be willing to give. reception The third process in the cultivation of potentiality is reception, which is the mental habit of being always open to receiving the actualization of your potentiality in any of the infinite forms and through any of the infinite means that it may come to you. www.thrivunity.com 168 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Your Unlimited Personal Potential By making these three processes of poactrization: comprehension, confirmation, and cultivation, a part of your new and better way of thinking, you can begin actualizing every day more and more of your unlimited personal potentiality. A Summary of the Maptric Method Here is a summary of what you can do if you want to begin using the Maptric method to actualize your unlimited personal potential and thus create improvement in every part of your life: LearnMaptrics by reading and studying a text of threefold understanding daily. www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 169 Exercise Maptrics by performing mental repetitions of the three Maptric trirectives. And whenever you have a difficult problem in life, you can easily improve it by simply thinking: I choose right now to think something better. Or you can just think the words something better. Also as you read and study Maptrics, focus on the triulistic ideas that are contained within it and let them replace any dualistic thinking habits that you may now have. Just thinking about the simple but incredibly powerful truths of Maptrics can begin to free your mind from dualism and open the way to achieving better, more triulistic thinking. www.thrivunity.com 170 THINK SOMETHING BETTER Teach Maptrics by demonstrating its effectiveness through the application of it in your life and also spread the word about Maptrics to your friends, family, and other people by giving them a text of threefold understanding. The Key to Better Living Of course the more conscientiously you follow the three-step Maptric method the greater can be the benefits that you receive, but even a slight application of the Maptric method can create significant improvement in your life. And thus you can have ample evidence that the key to better living is better thinking! ______________________________________________ www.thrivunity.com STEP THREE: TEACH 171 Trinciples In Maptrics, triulistic principles of personal progress are called trinciples.
