1. Unlocking the Power of Critical Thinking: A Guide towards the Kingdom of Heaven

Have you ever paused to think before making a decision or asked yourself, "Is this really true?" If so, you've already engaged in a bit of critical thinking!

When people hear the term "critical thinking," they often envision a complex philosophical process or a debate club where participants engage in discussions about abstract concepts. However, critical thinking is actually about having the audacity and capacity to play in favor of and against any Perspective—Playing devil's advocate— on the one hand. On the other hand, it involves asking questions, conducting research, and thinking or knowing something beyond the surface level, to avoid being tricked or misled by Misinformation.

For more than 6,000 years, Humanity has been tricked and misled by unscrupulous individuals and institutions who lack Christ's Consciousness. It is time to be aware of these unscrupulous entities that are draining our finances, health, vitality, and healthy relationships.

If you ask me what I would remove from Earth to make it better, I would say I would remove all the naive people, characterized by a tendency to avoid research and questioning. These individuals are political and religious fanatics who lack what differentiates us from the animal kingdom: Critical Thinking.

Naive people usually do not investigate before supporting or speaking. They help unscrupulous individuals and institutions destroy the good built with effort, often unconsciously, simply because they are too lazy to think critically. They lack consciousness, the capacity to examine ourselves, and the ability to anticipate negative consequences. They empower the wrongdoers to get away with wrongdoing, as they fail to take measures to ensure their own dignity is respected.

It is Time to Level Up!

Why would the Creator of the Universe create a new earth to have a bunch of individuals with no audacity or capacity for asking questions, conducting research, and thinking beyond the surface level?

These naive people have to go. Soon, it will be Harvest Time—The Opening of the Seven Seals. There is no room in this Earth nor on the next one for such individuals. The Abuser will get until the Abused allows it. The problem is not the Abuser who can't resist such naivety, but the naive who has no critical thinking.

Soon, the unscrupulous individuals and their "flying monkeys" with no critical thinking skills will be removed from Earth and will have no place or reign in the Kingdom of Heaven. Can these people be considered human anyway?

In this blog, I'll break down critical thinking into digestible pieces and show you how it can be applied to everyday situations and help you pursue a path toward the Kingdom of Heaven. We are also going to build a wall of protection against the unscrupulous individuals and their naive army, who drain our finances, health, vitality, and social relationships on Earth.

Let's break it down!

What is Critical Thinking?

At its core, critical thinking is carefully analyzing and evaluating information before forming an opinion, making a judgment, or making a decision. It's not about being critical in a negative way. Instead, it's about questioning, researching, and thinking beyond the surface level, especially when your finances, health, vitality, and social relationships are at stake.

Critical thinking means using your brain to avoid being deceived or labeled as foolish, unwise, stubborn, stupid, or an idiot. By using the brain, one avoids being stripped of one's effort, time, and money, and, last but not least, one avoids falling into a scam, trap, or false belief.

It's like being a detective in your own life. Instead of just accepting information at face value, stop and ask: Can I trust every word or promise a politician, priest, pastor, or salesperson makes to me— without doing any proper research? If your question is yes, you are naive. And you won't have any part in either the Kingdom of Heaven or the New Earth.

If you are a naive person, your life will feel empty, miserable, and meaningless. Your favorite question every night before bed will be: Why do I feel so tired—and defeated? I'm going to tell you, my acquaintance, because you lack Christ's Consciousness (critical thinking), and thanks to it, unscrupulous individuals are making ridiculous and decent profit out of your misery, leaving you in an unbearable and mediocre life.

It is time to wake up and recognize your naivety. You still have time to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but you need to ask questions, conduct research, and think beyond the surface level. Program your Mind by saying 108 times: 'Being a naive, good-hearted, meek, humble, generous person doesn't pay off positively, if I don't develop logic and critical thinking.'

Many will take advantage of your resources, time, and money, as if you were a saint who had fallen from heaven. Many will use you and leave you when you are no longer helpful. People want you to be rich, but not richer than they are. Protect your resources and heart! Remember that only God is saintly and worthy.

Remember what is written in Jeremiah 17:5:

“Cursed be the man that trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord."

Instead of just accepting and trusting what anyone says or writes, you stop, take a moment to think, and ask:

• "Does this make sense?"
• "Is there another way to look at this?"
• "What do the experts and the scriptures have to say about this?"

Start by acting as if you are a detective in your own life. Investigate and anticipate the consequences of your Thoughts, Words, and Acts. Instead of just accepting things as they come, you take a step back and think about whether what you're hearing, reading, or seeing actually holds up.

Why Is Critical Thinking Important?

Let’s keep it real. This isn’t just about thinking “better”—
It’s about surviving smarter, living wiser, and protecting your soul, body, and heart as well as your health and your wallet. It is about the fact that not all human beings have a good heart. It is about what will happen to me after my spirit leaves my body. Here are three simple reasons why critical thinking matters.

1. It Protects Your Energy, Health, and Finances

What happens after tithing faithfully for 30 years—
And then, suddenly, you lose your job, your house, your car, and maybe even your wife? Can you go back and ask the Pastor or Priest for a refund? Will God feel sorry for your current situation? Will the church pay your rent and convince your wife to come back? I don't think so!

Critical thinking makes you pause and ask more profound questions:
What does the scripture say about tithing? If the Levites are no longer taking care of the Second Temple, to whom am I supposed to give it up? To anyone who rises up a Church? To the Church of Christ? Which one? The Slavic Orthodox Church, the Latin Roman Catholic Church, or the Protestant Church? To all of them? How much money do I have to tithe? Can I afford it? What about investing that money in a 30-year years-10% investment account on compound interest, would God condemn me… or would He smile at the wisdom I used to protect my kids, wife, and finances?

See, critical thinking doesn’t turn you against faith—It awakens your ability to discern the difference between truth and manipulation. To tithe to the right Institution. If you want to support your favorite Church or Institution, you will do so only after realizing it's all about your choice, not God's Law. God supports His prophet, who has the intelligence to produce Money. If you want to help, it's your choice. Do you still want to insist on rebuilding and supporting the External Temple, Satan? At what cost?

2. It Helps You To Achieve Your Goals

Let’s be honest—
You want to eat.
You want to pay your bills.
You want a safe place to sleep.

You want gas in your car, lights in your house, and "insurance" to protect your finances in case of an emergency. Let's put it this way: you want Peace of Mind—Satisfy your Basic Needs, call it Money-Security. Can anyone be blessed or at Peace without Money to satisfy their Basic Needs? Can your children be dying of hunger for your lack of Money, and you feel at Peace? I would like to see it! When Job passed the God-Devil Test, what did God give back to Job? Wasn't it a wife, kids, and businesses—Money— that sustained a family?

Money is mega important.

But here’s the trap: Everyone out there is trying to sell you something—
A lifestyle, a religion, a belief, a dream, a product, a service, or an empty promise. Critical thinking clears the fog. It makes you focus on Money-based Reality—needed to provide and support a Wife, Kids, and Businesses that sustain the family. Start to think critically: Do I really need Money? Can I afford my bills plus the tithing? Will it help or hurt my finances?

When your Mind is clear, you stop falling into scams and traps and start building a life based on what matters.

I'm asking you: what matters?—
Isn't it? Wife, Kids, and Businesses—Money— that sustains a family?

Do yourself a favor: develop critical thinking skills. Protect your Money, Family, and Dignity. In the end, Money-Security (To cover our necessities) is what we all want and need, as much as Spirituality. Critical thinking will help you achieve your goals, not what others want.

3. It Keeps You From Being Fooled

Let’s get one thing straight! There's a lot of Misinformation out there— from the internet, news, politicians, pastors, priests, ministers, and friends. The world is full of liars. Not always evil people, just desperate individuals and institutions that need to pay their bills with someone else's sweat of your brow.

Most of these temples, politicians, clergy, marketers, and spiritual leaders who make ridiculous and decent profit out of your naivety have studied Psychology to learn how to influence your beliefs— so they can make a living, which is fair enough as long as you are aware of it. Your body, your choice. God, nothing has to do with it. Please, keep the LORD out of it. On Earth, the stronger (smarter or fittest) survive—'big fish eat little fish'.

Welcome to Humanity!

If you want to blame someone for your poverty and misery, blame your Naivety, not Yahweh your Elohim. Do your research. Don’t believe everything your pastor, doctor, political candidate, and businessman says. Look at the scriptures and historically reliable evidence. Why do you have to trust a grandma who looked like a wolf and had three-inch teeth, Red Riding Hood?

So protect your Mind—and Heart.
The world won’t hand you the Truth.
It’ll sell you what you want to hear…
unless you learn to think critically.

Because in this life, the ones who survive aren’t always the strongest—but the ones who think. Don’t trust easily. Instead—observe. Peel back the surface, and examine who wants to drain your Time, Effort, and Money?

Critical thinking Keeps You From Being Fooled.

Do not let anyone fool you. By thinking critically, you'll be able to:

• Spot flaws in arguments or ideas.
• Avoid being manipulated by false Information.
• Make better choices in your personal and professional Life.
• Enabling Peace by protecting your Energy, Health, and Money.  

Think about this: you come across a headline that reads, "Drinking coffee helps you live longer!" If you don't use critical thinking, you might accept it as true (accurate) without question. But what if you investigated further? Who conducted the research? Who is behind it? Was the study reliable? Are these people connected to the coffee industry?

Always seek evidence-based facts rather than accepting people's words.

Key Steps in Critical Thinking

Now that we understand what critical thinking is—
Let’s walk through the essential steps to apply it in real life.
Because in this world of manipulation and noise, clarity is survival.

1. Ask the Right Questions

Don’t just accept things at face value.
Start by asking:

• What’s really being said here?
• Who benefits most from this message?
• What assumptions are being made?
• Is the “evidence” even real—or just persuasive?

Every answer begins with a better question.
The truth doesn’t mind being questioned—
Only lies do.

2. Gather the Right Information

To think clearly, you need correct data.
Not emotional hype. Not recycled rumors. Not social media noise.

• Cross-Check for Consistency
  One source is never enough.
  If five credible voices say the same thing, it’s likely grounded.
  If they clash—pause. Dig deeper. Ask why.
• Watch for Emotional Triggers
  Be cautious of headlines and messages that push fear, outrage, or blind faith.
  Manipulation often wears the mask of passion.
  Truth speaks calmly—without needing to yell.

3. Consider Multiple Perspectives

Truth is not always found in your first thought.
Ask yourself:

• What would someone with a different background say about this?
• Could there be another explanation I’m missing?

Detach from the need to be right.
Detach from the desire to receive.
Real clarity comes when the ego steps aside.

4. Evaluate the Evidence

Now that you have information—scrutinize it.

• Is this source credible or just popular?
• Does the evidence actually support the conclusion?
• Is there valid counter-evidence being ignored or silenced?

If it can’t stand against a challenge, it probably can’t stand at all.

5. Make a Thoughtful Decision

After processing the facts, don’t rush into a conclusion.
Sit with it. Feel it.
Then ask:

• Did I miss anything?
• Was I influenced by emotion, bias, or personal gain?

This step is where wisdom is born.
The best thinkers pause before they judge, act, or make a decision—they take into account all the facts and consider long-term effects. Because unexamined words, choices, and judgments often carry consequences we can’t undo.

Think—then act.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Even the best critical thinkers can fall into traps. Here are a few to watch out for:

• Confirmation Bias: We naturally tend to prefer Information that supports our views and beliefs. Challenge yourself to consider opposing viewpoints, even if it feels uncomfortable.
• Overconfidence: Just because you've thought something through doesn't mean you're always right. Remain open to new Information.
• Appeal to Authority: Just because someone holds a title or is considered an expert, it doesn't automatically make them correct. They could be hiding ulterior motives. Always check the evidence for yourself.

Everyday Examples of Critical Thinking

1. Buying a New Phone: Rather than purchasing the first phone you see or the most popular one, apply Critical Thinking by comparing models, checking reviews, and considering your actual needs.
2. Conflict at Work: If a disagreement arises at work, instead of reacting emotionally, think critically about the situation. Why is the other person upset? What’s the best way to resolve this?
3. Choosing Friends or News Sources: With numerous media outlets, use Critical Thinking to determine the reliability of news sources and friends. Check biases and cross-reference information before forming an opinion.

How Critical Thinking Improves Your Life

1. Better Problem Solving: When faced with an issue, critical thinking helps you weigh all possible solutions and choose the most effective one.
2. Informed Decision Making: Whether you're deciding on a purchase, choosing a career path, or figuring out how to spend your free time, critical thinking helps you make choices that are based on logic and evidence rather than emotion or impulse.
3. Enhanced Communication: Critical thinkers are better communicators because they can present arguments logically and consider different viewpoints. This can help avoid misunderstandings in both personal and professional interactions.
4. Personal Growth: The more you think critically, the more you challenge your own assumptions and biases. This leads to intellectual growth and a more open, curious Mind.

Final Thoughts

Critical Thinking is like holding a flashlight in a world full of shadows.
It doesn’t remove the darkness—
It just helps you see through it. It keeps you from falling into traps or handing your power to the wrong hands.

The more you use it...
The sharper your Mind becomes—
And the wiser your decisions will be.

So next time you're faced with a choice…
Don’t just trust your gut.
Don’t just follow the crowd.
Don’t just believe the voice behind the mic.

Turn on your Light.
Take a moment and think— before the darkness thinks for you— think critically.
