WORLD ETHIC OF INNER / SPIRITUAL DIRECTION

Thoughts and struggle for survival - The worst event

(Many prejudices and more obvious)

We find in an immediate way (intuitively) that our existence is justified and is not unnecessary and this finding is not incorrect - as it will prove. That is why many people consider such negative thoughts stupid, ridiculous and sick. They do not want to think or hear about the issue of death and are usually surprised and reacting, while it is a reality. The choice of ignorance and fantasy of people for their survival have no limit. The self-centered and easy explanations for this very remarkable phenomenon of leaving reality, such as that our lives would remain unused for a problem that we cannot solve, are often not wrong. But this is how we avoid research and thought, thinking that we are gaining from some other thoughts and activities (which often escape reality). So we maintain an important ignorance of reality and for ourselves, which probably has bad consequences for our lives. Many people have formed the convenient view that nothing will change if we think of the unpleasant and bad of life and especially its natural end. They are confident of their opinion and unprepared about this issue, and they think we have to start mourning now. But the discovery of our ignorance of a sufficient purpose in life and such a thought for living with awareness of reality is beneficial and useful. We will not be able to avoid old age and the natural end of life. However, we will change many mistaken estimates of our activities and projects, change many stupid choices and desires and many of our actions, which are pointless and make our lives worse.

It will inevitably come one day, where the most unpleasant experience and loss of health will not be passing. Most people normally don't want to think about it, they spit and shudder. But so, here's one of the first devastating consequences in the spirit: they forget the worst event of life and the worst experiences and react too much to the other difficulties of life, as if they were the worst. So people magnify non -existent and insignificant problems. Do not forget the immediate and permanent connection of thought with our reactions and behavior. Many people not only did not fear death, as those who hesitate to think about it, but instead made a decision and chose to shorten their lives with a purpose or for different reasons. We know cases of people who blindly trusted a paranoid teacher and believed that they would meet God with their suicide or that some are waiting for them in other worlds. These here are some cases how our thinking affects our views and estimates and how we can transform and react, as before we have excluded it. There were people who offered their lives or did not care for themselves in order to save the life of other loved ones. The human choice of self-sacrifice and suicide is not always done by any weakness or crazy thoughts. Also, the lack of this thought by those who never thought to end their lives does not show us that they have no terrible weaknesses and fears and that they always think smart and reasonably. Those who in religion are Christians, have the most brilliant example of self-sacrifice for the good of all people. And those who feel oppressed and that their lives are destroyed by hostile acts can easily think of ending their lives or using it as a smart biological weapon against other people.
