39. A1
SEE THE TEACHER ONLY AS HIS TEACHING, OR THE TRUTH,
SO THAT ONE CAN THEN NEVER DISTORT THE TEACHING (TO SOME THING SURREAL) AND THUS DISRESPECT THE TEACHER (OF THE TRUTH).
THE GRAVEST CRIME BY ANY TEACHER IS TO CONFUSE (AND COVER UP) ANY DETAILS WHICH
HE IS UNABLE TO CLARIFY. EVEN AN UNATTENDED LOOSE END THAT MAY CONFUSE IS INTELLECTUAL INFIDELITY.
(49.A) A JUST GOVERNMENT OF SOCIAL BODY
IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO ESTABLISH JUST SOCIETY EXCEPT BY A BROAD BASED
GOVERNMENT WHICH IS ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE. WHERE THE LEADERS, AND THE MAJORITY, SHOULD INSPIRE, NOT DOMINATE, THE REST. THE REGIMENTATION OF COMMUNISM IS AN
IDEAL ANTIDOTE FOR A PURPOSELESS POPULACE. BUT IT DESTROYS THE HUMAN SPIRIT; AND CAN CONVERT A NATION INTO A BEE COLONY – AT MOST. EVEN AUTHORITARIAN
DEMOCRACIES, AS FOUND IN FLOURISHING SINGAPORE, MAY SUCCEED IN PREVENTING STRIFE;
BUT THEY ALSO CAUSE A HESITANCY AMONGST NORMAL PEOPLE, AND STIFLE THE
BRILLIANCE OF INDIVIDUALS. FOR THE PEOPLE ARE FREE TO SOAR, BUT HAVE HAD THEIR
WINGS CLIPPED! (A DEMOCRACY, ON THE OTHER HAND, CAN ALLOW PROTEST AND STRIKES,
ONLY IF MEANS DO NOT CAUSE MORE HAEM THAN WHAT THE END IS TRYING TO AVOID. IF NOT, IT WILL AMOUNT TO A HOSTAGE AND RANSOM.)
- B
THE WAYS AND VALUES EXPRESSED IN “THE OPEN BOOK” ARE NOT MERE SUGGESTIONS. THEY
ARE RATIONAL EXTENSIONS OF THE BASIC NATURAL LAWS.*(01) AND HENCE, SHOULD BE
RIGIDLY ADGERED TO ALWAYS (AFTER ONE SATISFIES ONESELF BY SCRUTINY) FOR BENEFIT
NOW AND, VERY PROBABLY, IN THE HERE AFTER MEANS – ANY POSSIBLE FUTURE! IS WHAT
EVERY HUMAN EXPECTS. THIS IS EASY IF IT IS SEPARATED FROM RELIGION *(01) THE CRUX IS
THAT THE ULTIMATE GOOD IS NOT COMPASSION, BUT ACQUIRING AN UNDERSTANDING OF
THE TRUE NATURE OF THINGS. IT IS TOWARDS THIS END THAT THE HIGHER BEINGS ARE
COMMITTED; AND THEIR HELP TOO IS SIMILARLY DIRECTED. THEIR MAIN EFFORT IS TO
MOULD HUMAN CHARACTER. SO THAT, WHAT CANNOT BE ACHIEVED HERE AND NOW, COULD BE DONE IN A FUTURE CONTINUUM!*(02)
*(01) WHEN CONFRONTED WITH A PROBLEM, ONE SHOULD PAUSE TO IDENTIFY ITS CAUSE ()
APPARENT AND REAL THEN MODIFY THE REACTION TO A HONEST, MEANINGFUL RESPONSE IS ONLY THEN THAT THE HIGHER BEINGS MAY ASSIST IN THE RATIONAL ASSESSMENT, AND MAY EVEN REINFORCE THE REQUIRED RESPONSE TOO.
*(02) LIFE CAN CONTINUE IN ANY ENVIRONMENT YOU SEEK, IF IT BECOMES YOUR WAYS AND
VALUES, AND YOU ACQUIRE AN INGRAINED TENDENCY OR INDIVIDUALITY TO FIT EXACTLY
INTO SUCH AN ENVIRONMENT. THIS INDIVIDUALITY FIXING DOES NOT REQUIRE AN
ADVANCED INTELLECT, ONLY AN ASSESSMENT AND A DIUSTMENT OF ONE’S ‘SENSE OF VALUES’.
SO THAT ONE’S EVERY NEED WOULD BE ALINGED TO THE CAUSE. IT IS A CONVICTION; WHICH
BECOMES ABSOLUTE, WHEN IT IS A REALIZATION. (WATER IS A GREATER NEED, AND EASIER TO
INGRAIN AS A CONVICTION)
SO THAT ONE’S EVERY NEED WOULD BE ALINGED TO THE CAUSE. IT IS A CONVICTION; WHICH
BECOMES ABSOLUTE, WHEN IT IS A REALIZATION. (WATER IS A GREATER NEED, AND EASIER TO INGRAIN AS A CONVICTION, THAN GOLD!)
A CONVICTION HAS TO BE CONSISTANT; A REALIZATION, ABSOLUTE AND IRREFUTABLE.
SUPERNATURAL INTERVENTION IS DESIGNED PRIMARILY TOWARDS ACHIEVING SUCH
(ABSOLUTE) REALIZATIONS – EQUALLY APPLICABLE TO ALL LIVING BEINGS. EVEN A
CONVICTION, IF TOUCHED BY DOUBT, CANNOT INGRAIN SUFFICIENTLY TO ADJUST. AND
ADJUSTMENT IS THE KEY TO MENTAL PROGRESS. THE SIMPLEST MENTAL ADJUSTMENT IS AN
INGRAINED HABIT OR TENDENCY THAT OVERLAYS (SPECIES) CHARACTER – BY CONVICTION;
THE ULTIMATE IS THE REJECTION OF CONDITIONED EXISTENCE WITH THE ACCEPTANCE OF A PERMANENT STATE OF (RHYTHM CITY INDUCED) HAPPINESS – BY REALIZATION
(49C)
THOSE NEARING DEATH OFTEN SPEND THEIR LAST DAYS TRYING TO RECTIFY THE MISTAKES
THEY HAVE MADE. BUT RARELY DOES ONE ATTEMPT TO ALTER ONE’S INDIVIDUALITY, ‘SENSE
OF VALUES’ OR CAUSES WHICH LEAD TO THE ERRORS; AND THEREBY CHANGE INTO A NEW
PERSON, FOR ANY POSSIBLE FUTURE*(01) HOWEVER, TO BECOME A NEW PERSONS WHO FEEL
THAT THEY ALREADY ARE THE PERSONS THEY WANT TO BE*(02) EXCEPT FOR SOME LOFTY IDEALS, WHICH AMOUNT TO CHANGES OF EFFECTS (NOT THE CAUSES) THEY WILL CHANCE THE FUTURE AS THEY ARE*(03).
*(01) THE BUDDHA CONSIDERED ONE’S INGRAINED INDIVIDUALITY AS REBIRTH KARMA OR SUBSEQUENTLY EFFECTIVE KARMA (AS OPPOSED TO IMMENSELY EFFECTIVE KARMA OR
MORAL DICTATES, AND INDEFINITELY EFFECTIVE KARMA OR ATTRIBUTES OF THE SPECIES).
*(02) IF BOTH THE EVOLVING INTO A HUMAN AS WELL AS ACQUIRING OF AN ACCESS TO THE
TRUTH, WERE NOT EXTREMELY RARE OCCURRENCES EVEN IN AN INFINITY OF TIME; ONE MAY
BE EXCUSED FOR RELAXING JUST ABIT. HOWEVER, THE RARITY OF THESE TWO OPPORTUNITIES
CANNOT BE EXAGGERATED! AND SINCE THE PROBING CONTACT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO FIND
YOUR IDEAL LOCATION FOR MIND CONTINUUM; YOU SHOULD AT LEAST BE CARRYING AN
INNATE TENDENCY – FORT (PERHAPS, A TENDENCY FOR THE TRUTH WAS THE ONLY ‘TALENT’
THAT I CARRIED OVER. BORN A BUDDHIST I WAS CURIOUS TO KNOW, AT THE AGE OF 08, WHY IT WAS SO WRONG TO KILL ANIMALS FOR FOOD, AS A LION COULD THEN DO NO GOOD! BUT IT
WAS ONLY AT 17 I WAS BOLD TO CONFRONT AN EMINENT CLERGY WITH THE QUESTION: ‘WHAT
IS IT I YOU THAT IS REBORN?’ I NEVER RECEIVED ANY ANSWER THAT WERE CONVINCING. I HAD
TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP. IN 1967, AT THE AGE OF 36, I STARTED TO PUT UP! BUT I KEPT RUNNING
INTO A BRICK WALL. AND IT WAS MUCH LATER THAT I REALIZED THAT THE HIGHER BEINGS WANTED ME TO SHUT UP UNTIL THE TRUTH WAS SCIENTIFICALLY COMPLETE.)
*(03) TO REALIZE THAT ONE IS NOT BEING ABSOLUTELY TRUE TO ONE’S OWN SELF (DUE TO
FEAR, SHAME, OR TO GAIN FAVOUR) IS A VERY GREAT ACHIEVEMENT. FOR, FROM THIS POINT
ONWARDS PROGRESS COULD BE UNLIMITED. BY THINKING HONESTLY AND DILIGENTLY, ONE CAN NOW ESTABLISH ONE’S TENDENCIES OR RESOLUTELY MOULD ONE’S INDIVIDUALITY, AS NOW TO LIVE AND HAVE LIVED BEFORE. BUT FOR ANY CHANCE TO OCCUR, THE NEW (WAYS AND VALUES) MUST BE FOUND MORE NECESSARY OR TRULY NEEDED, THAN THE OLD.
OTHERWISE THE CONVICTION IS NOT A TRUE ONE AND CANNOT BE SUFFICIENTLY
INGRAINED, TO ADJUST AS AN INDIVIDUALITY. THE REQUIREMENT FOR INGRAINING (ANY
INDIVIDUALITY) IS NOT WHAT ONE WANTS OR WANTS TO BE, BUT WHY! WHY OR THE NEED IS
THE INGRAINING INGREDIENT. ONE MAY ACTUALLY DISLIKE WHAT ONE HAS TO DO. BUT IF
TRULY EMERSED IN IT, ONE’S INDIVIDUALITY TOO WILL ADJUST ACCORDINGLY. AS SUCH
ADJUSTMENT WOULD BE FOUND NECESSARY – FOR FUNCTION (LIVING). THIS IS THE DANGER
OF BEING TOO COMMITTED TO THINGS OF LITTLE VALUE, WHICH ADD TOONE’S SPECIES
CHARACTER WORTHLESSLY, AND IS CARRIED AFTER DEATH
