Copywriter John Carlton's recent blog post (April 28, 2011) discusses how to nurture critical thinking. Basically, you have to use and nurture your Internal BS Detector, he writes.

It is clear that activating this "Internal Detector of Nonsense" is particularly important during this time of great change in human consciousness and in societal systems known as The Great Shift. (This important time is also known as The Great Awakening.) In fact, activating and using your inner detector is key to creating these changes and to transforming the quality of your consciousness and your life.

"Opinions, common sense, long-held beliefs, even principles and convictions...it all has to run the gauntlet of your Internal BS Detector. This includes both the other guy's actions and thinking behaviors, and your own," writes John Carlton.

John Carlton is not known as a writer of spiritual material, but what he writes on the "Internal BS Detector" is vital to the successful completion of a major cycle of human experiencing known by many forward thinkers as "2012."

John Carlton continues, "You also need to run your instincts (and gut feelings) constantly through your BS Detector, especially when you start out...because we're all front-loaded with piles of unchallenged assumptions, erroneous notions you mistakenly think is "common sense", and vast rivers of lingering Big Lies and propaganda that has been fed to you for decades by teachers, the media, your parents and The Man....Tune your Detector up to high, permanently. Use it on yourself, first, and then blast the rest of the world with it as you go."

But how do you tune this Internal Detector up to high, permanently? There is no switch attached to your body that you can just turn on. There is no dial that you can tune into a particular frequency. And it doesn't happen just by thinking about it or by visualizing it being turned on. You have to actively engage with it. But what is your Internal Detector of Nonsense anyway, where does it exist, and what is the best way to engage with it?

Your Internal BS Detector is basically your higher self, your "true self," your soul. Everyone has a higher self (your inner guidance system) but it is dormant in most people due to a lack of use and lack of deep engagement with it. This is because we have been conditioned to ignore our inner guidance system. Instead, as John Carlton so colorfully explains, our understanding of life and the things we believe in come from those in positions of power and authority.

For example, people have been conditioned to believe that because eggs contain cholesterol, they are bad for you. Another example of a false belief is: Life is hard because of a couple of original humans who made some poor choices and we are the unwitting victims of that original condition. (Some of the false beliefs deeply ingrained in humanity that need to be re-examined revolve around the subject of victimhood.)

To strengthen your internal detector, you must reconnect to your higher self, follow through with your inner guidance in the moment, and then pay attention to what happens over time. Following through with your inner guidance is what will bring the results you need (new insights, "aha moments," favorable synchronicities) to gain more and more confidence in your connection, in this detector, until eventually you get to a point where you follow your own inner guidance rather than the advice of those whom you considered experts in their field. By this time you will have learned to 1. recognize your inner guidance and distinguish it from your mental conditionings, and 2. gain enough confidence in it to follow through with it promptly and consistently.

(It's not that you will disregard all expert advice, but having a bigger picture viewpoint will help put it in proper perspective.)

Activating this internal detector isn't something that happens overnight and it isn't just a good thing to do, it's a requirement right now; it's what God (or, if you prefer, the Universe) demands of you at this present moment. And it's also how you will discover and fulfill your unique contribution toward the Great Shift...the contribution that will help you, the Earth, as well as those close to you. Without a doubt, your help is sorely needed right now.

In conclusion, when you have the right information and are willing to work at it, you will make huge strides towards activating your internal BS detector--which will no doubt eventually result in all kinds of blessings from the universe. This is humanity's destiny.

LOL... just the title of this thread gave me a chuckle. I thought, "my problem seems to be that I can't ever deactivate mine!"
