True assumption of our assumptions!

Nearly every self help book I have every read touches on this subject to some degree. The assumption we make in life and hold as the Truth. One of the most limiting properties of human being is the swiftness in which can impose assumptions on our selves. The lack of questioning and the righteousness of assumptions will place pure limitations on the human experience. The great teachers through the ages all had one thing in common, the questions they asked! Life does not always adhere to scientific principles. You can not look at a situation, apply inductive logic and hope for a solution based the collective past experience of one human, a group of humans or all of humanity. Questioning the basic assumptions is often the quickest route the heart of a situation. Blind faith is assuming that a method imposed by another being will grant you the same result. Fundamental flaw in this logic is that the being invoking the action dramatically change the context in which the action is being invoked.
