Truth Ultimate Guide to
Preface
This guide isn’t about knowledge.
Once upon a time, people believed knowledge was power and wished for more of both. But now, with more knowledge than anyone can handle on the internet, people are drowning in it. The last thing the world needs is more drowning material, that is, more knowledge.
I am driven by what I feel and have never seen the point in tarting it up. I lament the legal wool pulled over people’s eyes as we speak, curse how the children are misled at school, and despise the people who defend what’s going on tooth and nail.
More of the same will not change anything and, if the past is anything to go by, fighting the old doesn’t work.
It takes a new model that makes the old obsolete.
Acknowledgment
With thanks to Marcus Aurelius and the people who have translated his writing into words I can understand, for without them, I would still be going in circles.
How to get maximum value from this guide
Here are two things only you can do to make this guide an interactive learning and extend it into an on-going experience.
- Pay the bulk of your attention to words.
This is easier said than done because it takes replacing an old habit with a new one, and everybody knows how hard it can be. There may be resistance initially. - Enjoy the journey. This will be effortless because you already know everything.
What’s up ahead is merely the uncommon way of looking at it. It may, at times, seem like new landscapes unfolding. But everybody knows the landscapes have been there all along, the unfolding is you.
Introduction
There exist 1 million species of insects, 10,000 species of birds, and 5,000 species of mammals, but only 1 is on top of the food chain, the most advanced life form ever, and ready for breakfast on Mars. (All numbers approximative, except 1).
How come? What happened? What has truth got to do with it?
Some say the truth is word for word in a book they have a copy of. Others believe the universe is written in math and should be called the unimath instead.
Adults just love acting as if they knew what they’re doing.
The children ask, “What is true?” and the adults say, “It depends on who you ask.” For the adults it is okay because we have gotten used to it. But for the children, watching adults perform to magic mirrors is confusing as hell.
For these and other reasons as well, the ultimate guide to truth answers the children’s question, as opposed to proving the adults right. It doesn’t mean I’m pro-kid or anti-adult which would be grotesque for without the adults I wouldn’t be here.
All I’m saying is let the children ask.
The heart of the matter
The heart of the matter is truth is a word.
To understand what that means, you must return to when it all began.
Words have divided the world into the wordless and the wordy. But that was then and things have changed. From presumably just one word in the beginning, words have gone forth and multiplied to what we’re faced with now, that is, more words than anyone can handle.
Billions of them, according to those who pretend to have counted them all, presumably to know how many words it takes to fill the internet.
The common mistake
The common mistake people make with words, is looking at them for sense and meaning.
It is in vain because words come without sensory organs. The one with the senses, the sensational one, is you.
And to know what a word means to you, no word can know it for you.
When it’s about words, it is all up to you.
Nothing is true
Nothing is true until believed, and change is as powerful as gravity, and as pointless to resist. And things have changed in deed.
Once upon a time, truths used to last forever, but in the meantime, the half-time of truths—the time it takes for an old truth to be supplanted by a new—has shrunk to the point where there are more truths faster than anyone can handle on handheld devices anywhere in the world.
We are not only the most informed people ever to have walked the Earth, but also the most confused ever. And when confusion reigns, strange things happen.
People mistake stating a point for making a difference, don’t trust their own eyes, believe in hearsay and hearsee instead, demand tolerance for the intolerant, believe the enemy of the people are (other) people, and men who read only one book still yield enormous power. That’s when otherwise good people turn into monsters.
The best protection against other people’s truths you may later regret, is to believe the opposite is true for a minute or two.
In the wordless world
In the wordless world, there is no truth for self-evident reasons.
In the wordy world
In the wordy world, people behave as if all is fair with truth on your side.
In other words, truth is a word people are willing to love, kill, and die for.
The truth about truth
Was is the truth about truth? Has it been invented, created, or discovered? Or did it happen by coincidence, out of the blue?
Fact is, it is shrouded in mystery.
The only thing we know for sure is it was made up by one for whom the existing words weren’t good enough.
Golden opportunity
Ours is a golden opportunity to change the world.
It is golden because even religion and science agree the fact truth is a word can be denied only by confirming it.
Five years from now, this will be normal. The story of words will be told at school, pupils will know the meaning is all up to them, and surrendering one’s senses to strangers will be out of fashion.
In the meantime, the squabbles over the truly truest truth will continue unabated, but that doesn’t mean you cannot take advantage of the golden opportunity now.
There’s no need to wait for the world to change first.
Just do it
This completes The Ultimate Guide to Truth.
Next up, implementation.
Implement
You can pray every day for the truth, but until you start acting it, nothing is going to change.
Implementation is simple and, like all things simple, difficult to explain without defeating the purpose of simple by making it complicated.
There may be resistance, initially. If so, keep in mind giving up something familiar now for something better later is not a sacrifice. It is an investment.
That said, with nothing but explain in mind, here are a couple of things you can do to begin without further ado.
Eye cue over IQ
Trust your own eyes again as you did before you changed from wordless to wordy early in your career, between the ages of 1 and 6 (on average). Believe what you’re looking at are words. You know this step is complete when you see there are no truths here, only words.
The rest is technique.
The word technique
Accept words for what they are. Because the exact opposite is taught at school, this may take time getting used to.
The captain of your words
Beginning with truth, make sure the captain of your words is you.
Knowing what truth means to other captains is required only in marketing, because marketers must know the lay of the land, well, I guess the lay of the sea. But even in marketing, nothing beats being in charge of your truths and your words. Keep in mind, you is also a word.
The time-tested method
Get rid of truth and substitute it with words that come with a fair-er chance of knowing what you’re talking about, such as perspective, fact, or view-point. It takes work, but on the upside, you must do this only once.
What not to do
The last thing you want to do is ask others to stop using truth, too. Not only because people will conclude you’ve lost your mind, but also because knowing the truth about truth is not a victory march.
Be guided by what you want people to feel, not by what you want them to know. In other words, be guided by making a difference, not by making a point. And if you’re driven to help others, be sure to help only in ways others want to be helped.
Determine your environment
Determine your environment, for it determines your friends, and your friends will determine the quality and direction of your life.
Seek the company of the curious. Avoid the people who preach truths for their own selfish reasons only.
Journal
Keep a journal. To know the truth about yourself by yourself, there is no more effective method I know of.
Benefits
At kindergarten and school…
…the young ones are encouraged to accept words for what they are not, not ask too many questions, and feel inadequate should they misplace a comma.
Who wants their kids to know truth is a noun? Why are words not taught at school? Talk about someone easy to exploit.
When we are controlled by words, means everyone else can control us. The benefits of accepting words for what they are can be known only after the fact, which you will.
In the long run, having to look up truth on a handheld device will only wear you out. But when you know what truth means to you, then truth is a fixed star, many decisions are already made, and you can help others too.
The internet
The internet is the most recent technology to store and transmit more words faster to every corner of the world than anything invented for that purpose before, hence its popularity.
Doing more harm than help, these pages ought to be taken down not by the law, but by the love of those looking for truth, some of whom are children. At the very least, the surgeon general ought to issue a warning.
Conclusion
It’s not what the word does.
It’s what the user does.
We all wake up to the same words and, therefore, the same truths. The difference is how we respond.
That’s where the user’s freedom is. But to every yin there is a yang. Like all things worth having, freedom takes work.
Of course, others will be overjoyed to do it for you, for free. Talk about someone easy to manipulate. But in the long run, not doing what is necessary will cause you more pain than doing it.
About the author
Some years ago—precisely when he doesn’t remember—having lost everything money can buy, the author of The Ultimate Guide to Truth, Beat Schindler, inspired by…
“If there’s a book you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” – Toni Morrison
…set about writing The Story of the World According to Words, published in December 2019. Since then, Beat has decided to serialize the story of the world word by word.
He is also a response coach, teaching people and teams how to get back onto the steering wheel of their experiences.
When not busy with that, he loves to share his times, loves, and laughs with his family and friends.
More about Beat Schindler, if interested, can be found on his website, at www.schindlersword.com
End of story?
Of course not, because the truth doesn’t begin or end. All we know about the truth is where we are at, caught in the middle of it.
It can happen that grown wo/men, I know for I was one of them, knock-knock-knock on truth’s door until their fists fall off. But as soon as you change the way you look at words, this can happen…
…and then you can help others get rid of word-domination also.

History Ultimate Guide to
Acknowledgment
With thanks to professor Richard Miles for asking the important questions without which I would still be going in circles.
How to get maximum value from this guide
Here are two things only you can do to turn this guide into an interactive learning experience, to get rid of history—don’t panic, it is less dramatic than it sounds—and extend this guide into an evergreen experience.
- Pay the bulk of your attention to words. There may be resistance, for it takes replacing an old habit with a new habit, and everybody knows how hard this can be.
- Enjoy the ride. This should be effortless because you already know everything. This guide is just an uncommon way of looking at it. Though it may feel like watching new landscapes unfold, you know the landscapes have been there all along, the unfolding is you.
Welcome
Five years ago, I decided to believe my eyes again.
If welcomed with “I believe my eyes again” at a garden party, I suspect we’d both run for cover in a hurry, with a difference. A garden party by any other name is still a garden party, but when you change the way you look at history, history changes too.
It is not about knowledge. There is more knowledge on Earth than anyone can handle anyway. We already know what to do, the hard part is doing it.
I am driven by what I feel and have never seen the point in tarting it up. I lament the legally approved wool pulled over people’s eyes as we speak, curse how the children are deceived at school, and despise the people behind it.
I have also never been good at beginnings and, therefore, am going to start The Ultimate Guide to History right at the heart of the matter.
The heart of the matter
History is a word.
And so is story.
And nobody knows the difference between the two.
Introduction
The adults have learned to deal with it. But for the children, it is nothing but confusing. They might even wonder what words are about or for.
The children ask, “What history are we in? Or is it herstory?” to which the adults respond with, “Nobody knows. Deal with it. Next!”
Clearly, more of the same is not going to improve matters.
The Ultimate Guide to History is designed to answer the student’s question, as opposed to proving the adult right. It doesn’t mean I’m pro-kid or anti-adult, which would be grotesque, for without the adults I wouldn’t be here.
All I’m saying is let the children ask.
Q&F
Q&F stands for “Questions and Freedom.” The two will always be together, for one without the other is like a storm without a calm, beyond imagination.
Answering the children’s questions promotes freedom. When you are free, there is no escape possible. And what we focus on expands. If in doubt about the importance of freedom, ask or think of the people who know Q&F from hearsay only.
The freedom to answer the children’s questions is, in part, what The Ultimate Guide to History is also about.
Nothing is true
Nothing is true until believed. There is nothing new about it, but with more truths than anyone can handle on handheld devices in the palm of children’s hands, and nothing more stable than change, what are we to believe in?
A profound belief today may well encounter another profound belief tomorrow. The best protection against beliefs later regretted, in fact, the only protection I know of, is to believe the opposite is true for a minute or two.
What has history got to do with it?
Well, many people believe history is the past, and except for those who ask the important questions, few of us spend much time wondering why the past is the way it is.
Who owns your past?
To understand who owns the past, you must return to when it all began.
Although the graphic covers the time from the birth of Earth to today, a total of 4,650,000,000 years, give or take, it does little more than return us to the heart of the matter.
If it’s in the past, it is a story. There isn’t a history to be found anywhere.
In the wordless world
In the wordless world, there is no history for self-evident reasons.
In the wordy world
In the wordy world, we’re stuck with it because a word’s existence can be questioned only by confirming it, and history is no exception.
Religionists claim history is, word for word, in a book they have a copy of, while scientists claim the universe is written in math. “It should be called the uni-math, not the uni-verse,” they demand. For the adults, it is okay for they have gotten used to it. But for the young ones, the sight of adults behaving like six-year-olds is confusing as hell.
That means, like it or not, all that’s left to do is decide what to do.
Hang on, we’re getting there, a step at a time.
How
How did history happen? Did it just show up happenstance, or was it discovered?
If the past is anything to go by…
…history is just like any other word, made up by a wordy for whom an existing word wasn’t good enough.
The common mistake
The common mistake people make with history, without realizing it will be in vain, is looking at it for meaning and more.
Make sense
For the making of sense, history lacks the sensory organs. The one with the senses, the sensational one, is you.
Meaning
Knowing what a word means, to you, no word can know it for you.
It is all up to you
We all wake up to the same words. The difference is how we respond.
Work
Knowing what words mean takes work. Others are eager to do it for you, for free. Talk about someone easy to exploit. But in the long run, not doing what is necessary will hurt you worse than doing it.
The internet
If it’s a word, it is on the internet. After all, that is what the internet is for, to gobble up words faster than anything before.
History couldn’t be missing from the world wide web and, indeed, it is there, among the other of the alphabet’s words, letterally letter by letter, as opposed to literally liter by liter.
Somebody has decided this is what the internet is for, either because or despite the fact some of the people on the internet are children.
It doesn’t take rocket science to see the above-pictured pages do more harm than help. They ought to be taken down, not by law, but by the love of the children.
If not, what chance of ending up less confused than their parents do the children have?
Golden opportunity
Breaking news.
Religion and science have agreed. Don’t get carried away, on just one thing which, at first sight, doesn’t sound like anything worth writing home about. Nevertheless, it is more than religion and science have agreed before or since.
They are calling it “The Historic History Is A Word Agreement.” According to the press release, the agreement could be reached only after even the staunchest deniers have either died trying or given up on denying the fact a word can be denied only by confirming it.
Were it true, it would be beautiful, however, you’ve seen this coming, I’ve only made it up. But for a good cause, to get you dreaming of how simple it could be.
Well, there is no need to wait for the religion versus science-fight to end for the love of the children.
Just do it
Get rid of history…
…and clear up the mess, now.
This is a golden opportunity and completes The Ultimate Guide to History. However, it doesn’t spell the end of the road. On the contrary, history is in your hands now.
Implement
“Get rid of history”? It is simple, but like all things simple, it can be explained or made complicated.
Both the word technique and the time-tested method below have been designed with nothing but explain/do-not-complicate in mind, both have been tested with history, and history has passed the test with flying colors every time.
The word technique
You must…
- Accept words for what they are. That’s the hard part.
- The rest is technique.
- Ensure the captain on your ship is you, for being the captain of your words is all it takes to be in charge also of your history.
- Understanding what history means on other ships is a must in marketing because marketers must know the lay of the land, well, I guess the lay of the sea, but for everything else, nothing beats being the captain of your words. Keep in mind, you is a word, too.
The time-tested method
- Get rid of history as you get rid of an old page on the internet, with a re-direct to the new page.
- Practically speaking, every time history comes up, re-direct it to a word with a fair chance of knowing what you’re talking about, such as story or past.
- It takes work, but on the upside, you must do this only once.
The last thing you want to do is ask others to stop using history, too. Knowing the truth about history is not a victory march.
Be guided by what you want people to feel, not by what you want them to know. If you’re driven by helping others, be sure to help only in ways others want to be helped.
Benefits
Early in life, we are taught…
…to accept words for what they are not, without asking questions, but to feel dumb if we don’t have an answer. Why this continues to this day is a different story entirely. Fact is, if words control you, means everyone else can control you. Talk about someone easy to exploit.
When you change the way you look at history only, only history changes. But when you look at world in a similar way…
…then everything changes.
There are no truths here, only words, the full benefits of which can be understood only after the fact, which you will.
About the author
Some years ago, never mind how long precisely, having lost everything money can buy, and kicked out of the home he couldn’t pay for anymore, the author of The Ultimate Guide to History, Beat Schindler, decided to get to the bottom of it, where he discovered a book that hadn’t be written yet and, inspired by…
“If there’s a book you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” – Toni Morrison
…he set about writing it, and in the process discovered, among other things, the most successful lie of all time. Because of this, five years in the making, The Story of the World According to Words was published in the year 2019.
Since then, Beat Schindler, who besides doing his best to be his best, is also coaching others eager to follow their bliss, and when not busy with that, loves to share his times, loves, and laughs with his family and friends. More about the author, if interested, can be found on his website, at www.schindlersword.com
End of story?
On the contrary. The story of history doesn’t have an end, and no beginning either. All we know is where we are, caught in the middle of it where I’ve seen grown wo/men knock-knock-knock on history’s door until their fists fell off, and I happened to be one of them. But when you change the way you look at history, the following can happen…
…and then you can help others, too.
