Why Worry Is The Cause of the Wrong The main key points to remember when considering any philosophy is that, for it to fully work, it must be adapted and twisted to fit the particular situation, Henceforth, if the ideals presented therein do not seem to conincide with said situation, that such ideals must be contorted until they snuggle next to the problems and causes that arise thereoff. Furthermore, if it seems like the philosophy at hand is not agreed with, then it must be not be integrated or taken as a part. For the Essence philosophy works as a whole, not as a part or a section. Mainly, the goal of the Essence philosophy is to build a bigger and better individual that can fully attest to his own mission in his life. To do such things, the abandonment of states of mind are necessary. For example, if a man were to believe something was impossible, then truly, it is imposssible, because he BELIEVES it to be impossible. And, again, perception is the key point of the Essence philosophy. The Three Abandonments The First Abandonment Worry Worry is man's main fault, and so, it must be eradicated. However, it is also integral that worry be not confused with concern. Concern is a perfectly normal and healthy thing. Worry, however, is an extended version of such a feeling. In example, you can be concerned about your upcoming surgery. You can worry about the outcome...will I get an infection? Will the doctor leave his scissors clamp inside of me? What if I wake up during the procedure? That is an over-extending of the oft-presented idea of concern. Worry does little more than to turn hairs gray and to cause people to have an unclear thought process. The thought process is important to the Essence. For if one choses to follow such a philosophy, than the Essence must be within him. Essence calls for the eradication of worry, and in such terms, that means that anything extremely valuable must not be more than concerned about. Remember, worry has ruined many. Stalin *worried* that someone might be trying to overthrow him; he became paranoid and almost slaughtered the entire Russian population. Paranoia is another thing to avoid, and ties in with worry. Paranoia is a crippling disease, not just an extreme state of concern. One who is paranoid can often perpetuate deeds that normally, he would not even think of enacting upon others. In order to become paranoid, one must first worry. Which is why, worry should be abandonded before everything else. The Second Abandonment Prediction Predicition is an ugly word. Nostradamus made himself a legend off the process, but his predictions are so widely applicable and so vague that they can often be applied to almost situation. Fortelling something, or trying to, is giving yourself false hope. False hope, in turn, is deception to one's self. And lying to yourself, well, it is just not a factor when the Essence is involved. Trying to, say, predicit if that girl is going to fall down the stairs with her big shoes is not true predicting. That's just fooling around, and means nothing at all. Trying to see too deeply into the future (predicting the next year of your life) is frivilous and unnecessary, not to mention distracted. If you try to plan out the year, than that would work. Predicting sets you up for downfall, and downfall, with the lost hopes that accompany it, are detrimental to any sort of development. The Third Abandonment Perception of Others The last thing to be abandonded as an old way of thinking is the pre-meditated perception of others. Having a detrimental view of someone downplays their full necessity and asset to you as a person. As this is not something that truly need to be elaborated on, it will be cut off here. For it is not a man in himself that he is created, but the opinion of others that truely creates the man. And my opinion of myself creates who I am. For example, I only percieve and think myself to be humorous, attractive, intelligent and ... well, attractive, then it is my perception. But others opinions, not my own, make this either true or untrue. Recall this, when you need the ideals to live by. For it is the Essence that will fuel you. Post a comment in response: |
