Those steps are taken instinctively many times in daily life so, whether trivial or vital, any subject is a suitable example. Someone remarks, "It's two o'clock." A listener consults the clock to check the reality, then recognizes the implication that he is late for an appointment and hurriedly departs.

Sometimes those steps bring unattractive information. For example, when people are told about mistakes, they frequently avoid receiving such information, ignore the reality it represents, and thereby miss its implications and corrective action. Because people ignore those steps of learning, they do not easily correct their behavioral mistakes.

Wetherill observed that reality is disregarded most often when the risk involved seems remote. For example, people tend to disregard the reality of a risky lifestyle. They want to do what they want to do when they want to do it. Then they wonder why they experience burn out, accidents and physical ills.

When people fail to take the right steps of learning, they take wrong steps. After receiving information, they get emotional and form judgments. Later those judgments might be forgotten, but from subconscious levels, they influence every decision to which they relate.

In past times, people were ruled by royalty who ascribed their authority to rule as the divine right of kings. Today that concept has lost credibility, but people should now apply that same usurpation of authority to their judgments.

In forming judgments, people elevate their own opinions above the authority of nature's social law. The Creator, whoever or whatever is responsible for what exists, created a world controlled by natural laws. Over the centuries, people unknowingly have ignored the social law and have been ruling their actions by the "divine right" of their judgments.

As a result, society suffers from all sorts of antisocial behavior. Who gave people the right to form judgments of reality? Are people in the position of the royals who ruled by fictional divine right? Wetherill's students know that nature's physical and nonphysical laws rule. They are inviolable and self-enforcing!
