WORLD ETHIC OF INNER / SPIRITUAL DIRECTION

Paranoia, selfishness and the beginning of individual-central life and fascism (in social life).

People with relative values (mainly by comparisons of their abilities and works) and with excessive assessment and expectation of external action also have excessive assessment for themselves. They despise the spirit or do not understand the perspective from thought limited in their spirit. It perceives their existence true in the biological body and not as a spirit. They perceive their existence as real in the biological body and not as a spirit. They observe in the biological body its potential for external things and the body's contact with other biological bodies. Thus they perceive life exclusively as external action in the visible world. Life is almost identical to the biological and visible body, and the fate of this body is connected inexplicably by the external events and its participation in them. Consequently, thoughts and observations of people who are absorbed by the senses (with external values, comparisons and emotions) focus on the relationships and action of their biological body, that is, they are regulated bias and self-centered. Life for every human being is special with its particular biological body, unique in its role, and pleasure is dependent on external action, which confirms its role and identity. The problems that every human being with the materialist mind has to solve are the disputes of their unique role, the obstacles in their physical movements and the threats to biological body. Problems in materialistic thinking are easily integrated into an expression and become only one problem: the problem of survival and restriction of freedom. After a little thought to resolve this problem, the sensual-state man (with the materialistic mind) easily captures the views with which he could survive without obstacles, without disputes and threats. That is, as a god on the opposite side of reality (in this sense as the opposite god in the material world). People choose a delusion and thus imagine their destination and their world. Individual-centered people imagine as a model of life a biological body that transcends all visible obstacles and survives everywhere and always. The self -centered people, with the overestimation of their role in the world and their hasty assessments, with their thoughts approach a fascist philosophy. Weakness is valued as a sin, death the worst enemy, muscle power, wings and speed are the obvious advantages of nature for survival and freedom, as money is for social life. Introversion is valued as a disease, fertility and reproduction is the only resistance to death, participation in the group becomes a sacred duty and equivalent to divine or heroic help, and tiring work confirm the meaning of life.

If superiority and power are only the one that ensures survival, then this superiority and such advantages we observe in many animals. Survival regardless of the content and meaning of life can be a vacant and monotonous life as much as the life of an insect. Will we stay in this biological superiority?
