What are Universal Axioms?

There are certain life truths (e.g. the only constant is change) that guide people to a

maturity level which produces happiness and success. Lets discuss exactly how you have behaved in ways that are in conflict with these truths, causing you unhappiness and a

dissatisfying life. Once these topics are covered in detail, we will teach you how to live in concert

with these truths and find security and a joyful life.

There are five major axioms that guide people to success, regardless of their

circumstances. Three are listed below and the fourth and fifth are explained in subsequent

chapters. The first three are as follows:

The only constant is change.

You are what you think.

Happiness is the most effective motivating factor in the human condition.

Many times our readers ask who established these axioms and who says they are axioms

anyway? We did not come up with these ideas ourselves. Baldwin Research Institute is a research

organization. All the material you find in the following pages was thoroughly researched as well

as implemented in a program called the Jude Thaddeus Program at the St. Judes Retreat House

in NY state. The axioms are the culmination of researching hundreds of different cultures and

religions from all over the world. We boiled down the positive commonalities they all shared.

The following articles and blogs encompass the commonalities that are found to be beneficial to

people in all of these cultures and religions.

Lets begin:

The most likely result of a person stepping off the roof of a 50 story building is death

upon impact. If we were to ask a group of individuals why the person died, there would be a few

common answers. The most common reply would be that the impact killed the person. Although

Body builders muscles grow and tone with their increased manipulation of gravity. The

root cause of their finer physique is the law of gravity accompanied by an attitude of acceptance

of that law and a physical demonstration of that acceptance. In this program you will need

acceptance of these three axioms if you expect to grow in happiness, maturity, and productivity.

While the body builder understands, accepts, and embraces the law of gravity, the

unhealthy, overweight individual makes the choice to see gravity as a burden. Gravity becomes

something of a nuisance and for extremely overweight people, it can become impossible to

manage. People who make the choice to perceive this force as a nuisance are in for a rough time.

The nuisance (gravity) refuses to yield. Many people with this negative perception say things

like, God, I wish I didnt feel so bad all the time. I have to lose some weight. But then,

tomorrow comes and there they are on the couch eating potato chips and watching Wheel of

Fortune. They concentrate on their problem, wishing the problem would simply vanish. When it

does not vanish, they may feel guilt and self-hatred. This thought process demonstrates a

fundamental lack of willingness to change.

Fully developed adults accept that certain truths exist, whether they are the three

universal axioms mentioned earlier, societys laws, or personal codes of ethics. All of these

positive rules or laws can guide people to greater levels of happiness. Individuals who are

unwilling to modify their thinking see these codes as hampering their desire for instant

gratification, orwhat they want now. This attitude thwarts efforts to achieve adulthood. But

this can change with a simple choice to become a different person. We hope you can make this

choice and begin the process of positive personal change.
