What Are Assumptions?

A person’s core assumption is what they believe is really real. Every person affirms one of several core assumptions about reality. That core assumption is the autopilot in our brain. It is the thing that we do not question. If we do, it gives our brain the blue screen of death. We can’t make sense of anything. A core assumption is also the thing we cannot prove. Our core assumption is likewise the thing that we accept to be real on faith. How else can we make an assumption? We don’t know it. We trust it. This makes every person a person of faith, even atheists because we all operate from a basic core assumption about what is real. It is that assumption that controls everything we say, do, and think.
