AN UNCONTROLLED HABIT, OF CASUALNESS*(01)
AND INDIFFERENCE*(02), LEADS TO
AN UNCONTROLLABLE HABIT,
OF CARELESSNESS AND EVEN WANTON NEGLECT.
*(01) CASUALNESS IS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY INCONSISTENCY; AND THOROUGHNESS, BY CONSISTENCY.
(02) CASUALNESS IS A MENTAL ATTITUDE – A LAZINESS IN THINKING.
INDIFFERENCE IS ITS RESULTANT, PHYSICAL COUNTERPART. THESE TWO
PHENOMENA BECOME MORE CLEAR AS THEY EXTEND THEMSELVES INTO A
MENTAL CARELESSNESS OR THE FAMILIAR DISINTEREST AND THE MORE
OBVIOUS PHYSICAL NEGLECT. THIS IS WHAT MAKES CASUALNESS SO INTRACTABLE.
OH THOROUGHNESS – HOW MUCH I NEED YOU! ABC+D
36 .B
CASUAL ATTITUDE TO CASUALNESS, WHICH IS
ALSO THE CURSE OF ALCOHOL*(01),
IS THE WORST HABIT; FOR IT SOON DESTROYS ALL THOROUGHNESS,*(02)
THE ESSENTIALITY IN THE PURSUIT OF ANY KIND
AND EVERY MANNER OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
-OR THEIR BASIS DEDUCTIVE REASONING*(03)
*(01) ALCOHOL, SIMILAR TO DRUGS HEROIN AND COCAINE, INHIBITS THE WARNING CNTRES OF THE BRAIN TO MAKE ONE CAREFREE
*(02) ONE HAS GOT TO BE THROUGH IN ONE’S THINKING, EVEN IF IT IS ONLY TO
IDENTIFY THE BASICS REQUIRING SPECIAL ATTENTION, FROM THE REST TO BE
SKIMMED OVER. IT IS ALSO NOT POSSIBLE TO BE THOROUGH IN PART, AND BE CASUAL IN THE REST. FOR CASUALNESS IS AN ADDICTION, AND WILL SOON ENGULF ALL. TO THINK CASUALLY IS TO LIMIT ONE’S INTELLECT.
*(03) SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE IS THE COMPREHENSION OR ANY NATURAL PHENOMENON (APPARENT OR REAL) BY DEDUCTIVE REASONING. (AND,
EXPLAINING WITHOUT DEDUCTIVE REASON IS INSTRUCTING, NOT TEACHING.)
36 .C
THOROUGHNESS TOO (LIKE CASUALNESS) IS MENTAL – AN ALERTNESS AND
ANTICIPATION FROM METHOD AND TRAINING.*(01) EFFICIENCY IS
THOROUGHNESS WITH SPEED. THOUGH ALL OF THESE MANIFEST
THEMSELVES, OR ARE SEEN, PHYSICALLY; THEY REMAIN EXCLUSIVELY MENTAL.
ONE CAN EVEN FIND A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK (WHICH AMOUNTS TO THE
WORK IN MOST WORTHWHILE INTELLECTUAL ACTIVITY) IF ONE IS TRULY
DETERMINED*(02), AND SPEEDILY THOROUGH OR EFFICIENT. TRAINING OR
METHOD PROVIDES THE BASIS FOR ALERTNESS AND ANTICIPATION; WHICH IN TURN MANIFEST ITSELF AS INTELLECT OR DEXTERITY.
*(01) THOROUGHNESS IS A CONSTANT AWARENESS OR ALERTNESS OF WHAT IS HAPPINESS, AND AN ANTICIPATION OF WHAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN (AS FOR INSTANCE IN DRIVING A CAR).
*(02)
36. D1
IF YOU ARE NOT SYSTEMATIC EVEN WITH THE APPARENT, THEN YOU ARE
BEREFT OF AN ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT FOR PURSUING THE REAL. HENCE
YOUR ROUTINE LIVING SHOULD THOROUGHLY ORGANIZED (IN THOUGHT)
BEFORE EMBARKING ON REALITY. TO BE SYSTEMATICS OF METHODICAL IS TO
BE ORGANIZED – IN THOUGHT*(01). SENSORY SHARPNESS AND PHYSICAL
AGILITY ARE ANIMAL VIRTUE (PHYSICAL ABILITY OR SKILL THOUGH IS
HUMAN.) BUT MENTAL ACUMEN AND RESULTING INTELLECT (WHICH CAN ARISE ONLY FROM THOROUGHNESS) ARE THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE HUMAN QUALITIES THAT CAN BE CULTIVATED*(02)
*(01) TO BE ORGANIZED (IN THOUGHT) IS MUCH MORE THAN HAVING A TIME TABLE. FOR IT ALSO HAS TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE NUMEROUS VARIABLES. SO, ANTICIPATION IS THE PRIME REQUIREMENT.
*(02) THERE IS NOTHING MORE VITAL FOR A HUMAN THAN MENTAL ACUMAN OR DISCERNMENT, WHICH MEANS THE ABILITY TO GRASP AND ASSIMILATE
THE ENTIRE ‘PICTURE’: THE FUNDAMENTALS FIRST, IN A FLASH, THEN THE
DETAILS, WITH DELAY AND DELIBERATION. THIS IS SYSTEMATIZED AT
TENTLON, A QUALITY SO OFTEN EXPRESSED AND EXTOLLED BY THE BUDDHA. MENTAL ACUMEN IS WHAT A CHESS GRAND MASTER HAS: RAPIDITY OF (BASIC) RECOGNITION AND (THEN) COMPLETENESS OF COMPREHENSION IN CHESS!
ALSO, I.Q. TESTS USUALLY TEST ONLY THE ‘RAPIDITY’ OF RECOGNITION’ (A
KNACK) AND LEAVE OUT THE MORE IMPORTANT ‘COMPLETENESS OF
COMPREHENSION’, WHICH IS THE REAL CRITERION OF INTELLIGENCE.
ANYWAY, I.Q. ATTEMPTS TO ASSESS TRAINED THINKING – A MENTAL (NOT
GENETIC) ABILITY! HOWEVER, THE IMPORTANCE OF ALL THIS IS TO SEE
THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE, AT ALL TIMES. AND THIS IS POSSIBLE ONLY BY A RATIONAL ASSESSMENT WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY A RATIONAL DEDUCTION.
36. D2 THERE ARE SOME WHO ARE TRAINED TO THINK CONSIDERED AS
INTELLECTUALS, AND VERY THOROUGH IN THEIR WORK AS WELL THEIR
ROUTINE LIVING YET THEY TURN A BLIND EYE TO THE REAL AND REALITY,
WITH SMUG COMPLACENCY. SUCH AN ATTITUDE, APART FROM REDUCING
THEIR OWN INTELLECTUAL CAPABILITY OR THE ABILITY TO THINK
EXTENSIVELY (THOUGH THEY THINK INTENSIVELY TO CAPACITY) ALSO MAKES THEM LESS SENSITIVE, AS THEIR BLINKERED APPROACH REDUCES THE
POSSIBILITY OF DETECTING SUFFERING IN OTHERS. SOCIETY LOOKS UP TO ALL
INTELLECTUALS WITH NEAR REVEVERENCE. HENCE THE INTELLECTUALS REFEREED TO, OWE ADEBT TO SOCIETY; AT LEAST TO ADMIT THAT THEY ARE UNDER FALSE COLORS!
36. D3 DEVELOPED AND DEVELOPING HUMANS
FINE EMOTIONS LIKE LOVE, TENDERNESS, SENTIMENTALITY AND UNBIASED COMPASSION DISTINGUISH DEVELOPED HUMANS FROM THE DEVELOPING.
FOR FINE EMOTIONS ARE MORE REAL AND REFINED, AND EXPRESS TRUE
INDIVIDUALITY ;*( 01) UNLIKE THE BODILY BIASED, BASIC URGES OR OUTBURSTS,
WHICH CONSTITUTE NORMAL HUMAN EMOTIONS (THAT HAVE ALCOHOL AND SEX AS THEIR MAIN PROPS – ALWAYS). MOREOVER, FINE EMOTIONS ARE LEARNT, AND NOT SPONTANEOUS OR INSTINCTIVE.
(COMPASSION IS NOT SORROW AT ANOTHER SUFFERING; BUT TEARS OF JOY AT THE THOUGHT OF HELPING! AND CRUELTY IS NOT THE JOY OF THE KILL; BUT
OVERCOMING THE PAIN OF HATE BY THE THOUGHT OF HURTING! THESE TWO
FINE AND BASE EMOTIONS CONSTITUTE THE MORAL MAKING FEELINGS OF ANY BEING; BE THEY HIGHER OR LOWER.)
*(01) INTIMACY OF CAPABILITY – CAN HUMANS, WHO WEAR CLOTHES TO
COVER THEIR NAKEDNESS, EVER TALKS OF ‘ORAL SEX’. THAT IS FOR ANIMALS,
WHO SNIFF AT THE SEX ORGANS OF THEIR MATES? FOR THE HUMANS, IT HAS
TO BE THE UNIQUE INTIMACY OF COMPATIBILITY; THE FINE EMOTION WHICH
STARTS LONG BEFORE, AND CONTINUES LONG AFTER, THE ACTUAL ACT OF SEX
36. D4
THE MOST EVOLVED HUMAN FAMILY
HUMANS ARE THE ONLY BODILY BEINGS WHO’S EVOLUTION IS INDIVIDUAL,
AND NOT A SPECIES ONE. THE BASIS OF THIS EVOLUTION IS INTELLECT AND
THOROUGHNESS. (THOUGH EVERY HUMAN HAS THE SAME CAPACITY TO
THINK, ONLY INTELLECTUALS ACQUIRE THE CAPABILITY.) SO FAR, HUMAN
SURVIVAL HAS BEEN CONFINED TO THE INTENSIVENESS OF INTELLECT. SUCH
INTENSIVENESS IS MANIFEST MOSTLY IN TECHNOLOGY – OR A FUNCTIONAL
EVOLUTION TO CARE FOR THE BODY. A SITUATION WHICH HAS PEAKED, AND
WE ARE TENDING TO CAUSE MORE HARM TO THE BODY BY PAMPERING TO ITS
EVERY WHIM AND FANCY. THIS IS BECAUSE TECHNOLOGY PRESUMES THAT
THE BEING IS ITS BODY. THE MIND REMAINS AS A PHRASEOLOGY; AND IS
INTRICACIES, HAS BEEN UTILIZING HUMAN INTELLECT AND THOROUGHNESS ACTUALLY CONSIDERED RATHER ABSTRACT THAN AN ABSTRUSE ENTITY!
NOW, THERE IS ONE HUMAN FAMILY, WHICH………. UNAWARE OF THE MENTAL
INTRICACIES, HAS BEEN UTILIZING HUMAN INTELLECT AND THOROUGHNESS,
EXTENSIVELY (NOT JUST EXTENSIVELY TOWARDS THE BODY). THEY MAKE USE
OF THE BROADEST SPECTRUM OF HUMAN LIFE IN THEIR PURVIEW. SO THEIR
INTELLECTUAL EVOLUTION IS NOT NARROW OR STIFLED; BUT ARE ALWAYS READY TO INVESTIGATE, UNDERSTAND AND ADJUST. THIS ENABLES THE
YOUNG FAMILY, WHICH CONSTITUTES A FATHER, MOTHER, DAUGHTER AND
SON, TO ACQUIRE A FIRM BONDING. HERE AGAIN THEY DO NOT SEEK SUCH A
COHESION; IT COMES NATURALLY, DUE TO THEIR TOUGHNESS IN USING
HUMAN INTELLECT EXTENSIVELY. AND, IT MUST ALSO MEAN THAT THE
FAMILY IS A TRULY HAPPY ONE; DERIVING THEIR PLEASURE FROM SIMPLE
THINGS (NOT MUCH THE BASIC URGES) OF LIFE. ANY SUCH UNDERSTANDING
IS, TO START WITH, INDIVIDUAL; BUT IS SOON SHARED BY THE REST OF THE
FAMILY. THE CONSENSUS IS QUICK, INTELLECT AMOUNTS TO! THE FAMILY IS
THAT OF Dr. (PROFESSOR) JANAKA DE SILVA OF SRI LANKA; WHO’S WIFE TOO IS A MEDICAL DOCTOR, WITH AN AMAZINGLY PLEASING PERSONALITY. ALL
THAT THEY THINK THEY HAVE DONE IS ADAPTED THEM SELVES TO LIVE IN A
WORLD OF TECHNOLOGY; WHICH THEY APPRECIATE AND USE, BUT HAPPINESS OF THINKING EXTENSIVELY IS THE FIRST PRIORITY!
