Variothoughts 63-68

If an entity is good for one thing, then it is already good.  When the essence is good for many, it is a great fire.  When the essence is good for the few, it is a small fire.

Since the real reason is hard to figure out, put all the reasons in one big pile and at least something will work.

Goodness   is   like   a   light   source,   like   fire.   First   you   need   to   be   good   for   yourself,   then   for   loved   ones,   then   for   distant   ones.   You   can't   be   good   for   those   far   away   and   bad   for   your   neighbors,   or   for   yourself.   This   is   a   betrayal   of   oneself   and   others.

A wise man is restrained in everything, even when running away  from fear or from the battlefield, he runs with restraint and great dignity.

What is panic?  Unrestrained fear.  The intemperate man runs away as fast as he can  from fear, and fears joyfully pursue him.  If a person showed courage and did not run away so quickly, fears would be afraid to pursue him so actively.

Run away slowly.  Stampede too inspires opponents and then they will long and joyfully pursue you.

Procrastination is caused by "I have to"thoughts.  and " I shouldn't."

Often the understanding is false.  Lying is dangerous.  It is better to say to yourself "I do not understand anything"  and act on the situation, than to understand falsely and act incorrectly.

In the Third Dream in the silence of silence  thousands of years I flew with someone who said nothing, but next to him everything was clear, someone  someone I couldn't see, but I could feel.    Someone showed me the unique beauty of the universe, and I watched and rejoiced.

This God is the one whom you do not see, but feel.  The one who says nothing, but next to him you understand everything.

I   am   the   winner.   I   am   absolutely   the   first   because   I   am   unique.   In   my   uniqueness,   I   am   an   absolute   leader.   No   one   can   even   come   close   to   me   in   the   ability   to   be   me   and   do   my   job.

Having purified his soul from the obscurations of passion and ignorance, a person will be able to contemplate the reflection in it.  God.  As the Moon is reflected in rivers and lakes, so God is reflected in the souls of men.  When you see God inside you, do not think that it is you, but if you are pure, then he will be reflected in you, filling your soul with strength and joy.

Reflection  The moon in the mirror of the ocean is huge.  It seems that the ocean is the home of the native Moon.

This silence is like a clear sheet of water in which the Moon is reflected.  Passions create waves and ripples.  The pacification of the passions makes the soul like a pure mirror in which God is reflected.

You feel like you have to do something to be good.  You want to be good.  You are vain and cowardly.  You are restless and anxious at the thought that you are not particularly well.  You're always fidgeting and trying to do things.  Calm down, you're good enough, Tame Your greed.

God cannot be seen directly, but pure souls can reflect him in themselves as in a mirror and feel his uncreated light.  This light fills the soul with Bliss, strength, courage, calmness, understanding, energy and life.

What does divine ecstasy mean?  Filling the soul with uncreated divine light.  Usually the soul is like a bottomless void, but when it is filled with divine light, there is a feeling of infinite fullness.

Creation is God.  Every creature is a God.  A creature creates itself by the hands of its creators, that is, by other creatures.

They say a watchmaker creates a clock, but this is a misconception.  Watches create a watchmaker and inspire him to create himself.

Repentance and weeping should always be combined with tenderness and delight.  Lamenting our imperfection, we contemplate perfection and thus approach it.

The insignificance of man in comparison with God is expressed in the fact that man is one perfection, and God combines in himself infinitely many unique perfections.  Man is like a point, and God is like the universe in which that point is.  God devalues himself because he is many.  Human pride overestimates itself because it is small.  A person likes to neglect what is much and create a super-value from what is little.

Humility is self-abasement, which saves the mind from complacency, selfish blindness, fear associated with the transformation of oneself into a super-value, neurosis, megalomania and inferiority complex, narcissistic disorder and all sorts of other nasties.

Humility makes a person firmer, stronger and more courageous.  Ceasing to disperse his energy outside, a person focuses his attention inside and around him, which gives him more materiality.

Nothing will hide  from God.  He who sees the hidden sees the manifest.  Of course, God is not a person, but it is the laws of the universe and fate that are triggered by reacting to the thoughts, feelings and actions of a person.

I would imagine the Trinity to be an expression of the three principles of feeling, thought, and action.

They say that if a wild animal is not afraid of a person, then he is rabid.  Fearlessness is madness.  The absence of fear and overcoming it are different.

An important part of Love Is Forgiveness.  Many cunning people intuitively or intentionally hurt you so that you forgive them and love them so much.  Many of these people are very hungry and greedy, so they are ready to offend you constantly.  I recommend that you do not forgive them, so as not to fall in love and become their slave.

Alcoholism and drug addiction is a symptom of a disease, not a disease.  Healing a person from a symptom does not solve the problem.  That is why the treatment of Alcoholism has such low effectiveness.  Twigs break off, and in their place grow new.

A sober person is one who is awake and in reality.  An inebriated mind escapes  from reality, it is a sleeping mind whose reality is a dream.  The inebriated mind is very afraid of reality; if it touches reality for a second, it instantly runs away from it back into illusion.

I am interested in the question of how to stop dreaming?  I know that reality is also a dream and in silence it disappears.  But how to achieve silence in a dream that is nocturnal?

I think that dreams are a consequence of sensory and sensory deprivation or, conversely, overexcitation.  To avoid sleep, you need some middle option.  When you sleep in nature surrounded by many sounds, dreams either disappear completely or become very few.

Hate is a great weapon  from evil thoughts.  I feel the thought and immediately shout to him:  "Wait, brute, Where Are you going?  I won't let you!  Bones will lie down!  I'll perish myself!  And I won't let you, you horned goat, eat cabbage in the garden!" 

A speaker is someone who shouts a lot and loudly.

Approaching the ideal.  from the ideal, and therefore must lament and weep.  Approaching one boundary of the ideal removes from the other the boundary of the ideal.  Those in the middle are equally removed from any form of ideal and can therefore lament and weep the loudest.

The feat was there, and the hero is joyful as  Nietzsche wrote.  Joy is a great value.  Many people in life lack joy. 

He who loves men loves nothing human.  He who loves the human will seek to possess it, or will use men to create that very human.

Too hot and too cold will not allow you to enjoy the taste, does not allow you to see perfection.  All these "too" generate haste and do not allow you to slow down.

What to pacify in yourself?  Tame your desire to be sated.  Learn to stay half-starved.  Learn to be content with what you have without requiring a supplement.

Hunger is cunning.  Hunger is like water.  Put a barrier to hunger in one place, it will flow to another.  In this sense, you need to direct your hunger so that it flows in a useful direction.

It is impossible to completely satisfy hunger, because, having been sated, it will stop and turn into a swamp.  In this sense, hunger is like water that has to move.

On the one hand, you have the right to kick him out, because he is a goat, and it's hard for you to control yourself.  You can try to drive him away, you can leave.  But you can treat this situation as a training of some of your useful skills.  For example, Buddhism has told us that happiness is related to the quelling of desires.  Christina taught us to pacify thoughts and passions, they are desires.  Try to follow the path of improvement and use the negative situation to make yourself better.  Now you are co-dependent on him, you want something from him, often judge him and want to save him.  Try telling yourself:  "I will not do any of this, I will focus on what is available to me, on what I can do."  He's a Ram, I can't turn a ram into a man, but I can shear him.  Try to take from him what happens, and otherwise shift the emphasis on yourself.  And this position does not prevent you from demanding that he stop drinking and yell at him.  It is in your power to ask and demand, the results do not concern you, and the actions are completely in your power.

The beholder is silent in amazement, enraptured by the perfection of what he sees and discouraged by the greatness of what he beholds.

The silent one is very busy guarding his soul, carefully ensuring that nothing superfluous darkens his soul with temptation.  The silent mind is like an attentive Guardian, cutting off predators at the gates of the soul.

Inside every person lives a crying or angry child, hungry for love and unable to do anything to be loved.  All the activities and anxieties of this child are aimed at receiving love and attention.  A very narcissistic child, it should be noted.

Boastfulness is the conceit and desire for recognition associated with the inferiority complex and its alter ego.  Ego megalomania.  On the one hand, the child craves love and recognition, and on the other, he craves power and superiority.

The   lack   of   self-love   is   usually   overcompensated   by   too   much   self-love.   That   is,   a   person   does   not   love   himself   at   the   same   time,   but   at   the   same   time   over-loves   himself   and   turns   him   into   a   super-value.   People   who   do   not   love   themselves   are   very   selfish   inside   themselves,   they   experience   an   eternal   hunger   for   love   and   crave   overcompensation.  

When the mind understands what needs to be said and the heart says no, the heart should obey.

Pain and suffering is God.  In the depths of all pain there is love and salvation.  Pain comes when wounds come.  To heal these wounds, accept the pain with love, do not be afraid and do not run away from it.  If you look into the depths of pain, you will see salvation, and healing joy will illuminate your soul.

In the book  Variothoughts are nothing special, they are just recorded thoughts, a diary of thought.  Everyone has thoughts, there is nothing special about thoughts.  We can say that thinking is banal, because everyone can do it.  As for me, I decided to pay special attention to my thoughts, I gave them freedom, I removed all restrictions from them.  In return, I demanded only one thing from them – beauty.

What is the most valuable thing in this world?  A sober mind.
