SPIRITUAL DIRECTION | THE REGULATORY POWER OF THINKING

COSMONOMY AND GLOBAL ETHIC. SUMMARIZING THE FUNDA­MENTAL THOUGHTS IN A FEW LINES

> On the following pages: The issues below are consi­dered fundamental and some thoughts are briefly listed, which are formulated as answers to important que­stions or are thoughts that are supported as correct.

THE ISSUE OF REGULATION OF HUMAN LIFE AND HUMAN RELATIONS:

1.  Man does not behave reflexively like plants, with the effects of sensible things. Man himself with thoughts and memory determines his action, changes his behavior and reaction, can remain idle and prepare according to the wishes or instructions of others. The fundamental view of the meaning of life and in accordance with the morality of internal orientation is the direct connection of the biological body to itself. This direct connection is revealed to human consciousness as spiritual.

2.  Man becomes the regulator of his behavior, although has intel­lectual weaknesses and lack of knowledge. Man is more imagined and dreamed than knows. Man often fails to draw the right conclusions and in right time, while many lies and delusions deprive him of contact with reality.

3.  The consequence of mental deficiencies and lack of memory and knowledge is the unnecessary action and the mistaken assessment of man for his possibilities. The incorrect appreciation of man for his possibilities and the misleading view of the world have as first consequence self-centeredness and self-centered behavior, as if this intellectual animal were a universal spirit (ie God). Normal behavior is permanently associated with ignorance, delusion, bias, imagination, rushing certainty, excessive expe­ctations, greed and selfishness, that is, with a paranoid spirit (that seeks confirmation and security in the material world and with failed thoughts).

4.  Therefore, in human life is necessary to have an inner turn of the intellect towards itself: that is, to recognize our ignorance of things, our limitations (physical, biological and cognitive), the weaknesses of thinking, and the futility of many (external) actions. When you do not know how to swim, then you are confined to the shallow water and try to learn swimming there! Action for survival must take into account the need for an inner life orientation and for credible thinking.

5.  Morality also requires successful thinking, knowledge and right judgment and is not limited to thoughts and good actions to others. The morality of a spirit of self-knowledge is derived from the world as an auto­nomous whole and is not a human invention. Ethic is timelessly inter­twined with impartiality, honesty, self-restraint, credibility, intellectual cultivation, law and tolerance (which is dictated by the impartiality and conte­station of our role in the world).

6.  The ethic of inner direction do not begin with thinking about how we will change the world and other lives, but also with the thought that we do not know well enough who we are and that we need to recognize our weaknesses (intellectual, cognitive, biological and physical disadvantages) in order to achieve our contact with (complete) reality and harmonize with it.

7.  The inner direction of life gives awareness of ignorance, auto­matically restricts and avoids materialistic and self-centered action in the perceptible world. A "good" person still needs to be fair and intelligent. Physiological life does not coincide with morally regulated life.

8.  A life free of delusions with the power of thought and knowledge eliminates the constant uncertainty and the need to find a purpose for existence from its external potentials (in the material world) and has neither excessive expectations nor foolish dis­appointments.

9.  Spiritual cultivation, rational thinking, philosophical lifestyles, libe­ration from fantasies are crucial both in maintaining our peace of mind and in how we respond to the difficult times of social life.

10.  Human behavior regulated by moral values, with the capacity for rational and impartial thinking, with a cultivated mind that is aware of reality as a wider whole and in peace of mind is a prerequisite for credi­bility and responsibility in human colla­borations, for peaceful co­existence and effective action and for pre­vention bad luck. Adapt to the world without overestimating your mental abilities!

11.  In life and soul certain characteristics are imposed not only by the natural environment but also by a common reality, which enforces laws for the formation of the natural environment and evolution of biological bodies. For example, the broader reality imposes the limits of the beginning and the end, birth and death, evolutionary processes, dependencies in physical conditions and forces, etc. We cannot think about human life as if it were something intangi­ble and bodiless or psychologically independent of the laws of the cosmos.

12. Delusion and deception are enemies of logic and morality (for a spiritual life). Deception is a spiritual trap that can until directly deprive life. Those who reject a global ethics have not realized the subversive relationship of deception with life and the need for credibility. The first global rule for the regulation of human life is the awareness of ignorance, the avoidance of error and the desire for the truth. Anyone who challenges a global ethics or (in other words) that life by certain rules is favored and evolved, uses thought as a weapon of deception. We see the trap and we will neutralize this weapon. In addition, we will spread a wall of protection with the claim for spiritual cultivation and for awareness of reality. And morally, when we talk about awareness of reality we cannot understand it without awareness of the great ignorance of the world.
