Meet yourself, walk the difficult path.

 Meet yourself, walk the difficult path.


These days, the excuses of 'why do you have to...' are increasing...


I find myself intoxicated with drowsiness, falling into 'self-deception'.


I cut off the comfortable road I was trying to settle in right now, here,


I am determined to walk the difficult and difficult road again.



Human beings have two different selves.


These are the 'lower-dimensional self' and the 'higher-dimensional self'.



Usually, the power of the low-dimensional ego is stronger.


The lower-order ego produces an emotional response and an urge to adopt a defensive posture. It makes me feel that I am right and that I am superior to others. It seeks immediate pleasure and entertainment, and always chooses the path of least resistance.



The easy choice is a return to primitive, animal roots. The moment he notices a sense of inferiority, he brings out excuses and rationalizations to deny and suppress.


He wears a mask to hide his inner dark impulses.


With this desire, all kinds of dark desires form a shadow personality, putting them in danger of turning away from themselves.


I adopt other people's ideas as they are, and I lose myself in the group.



 On the other hand, the moments where I feel the impulse of the higher self are expressed when I want to get out of myself and connect more deeply with others, when I want to go my own way in life, and when I want to discover what my individuality is.


​


The lower ego directs us towards an animalistic and unconscious nature, whereas the higher ego leads us to perceive ourselves as a truly more human aspect of human nature and to act more considerately.


Since these higher-order impulses are weaker than lower-order impulses, more effort and insight are required.


​


Only when a human being develops a higher-order self can they feel deep and true satisfaction beyond instantaneous consumer satisfaction.


​


If easy and comfortable are repeating itself, pause for a moment and think about it. What kind of self am I really communicating with?


The path with a small inner resistance may lead to loss of me,


It may be a shortcut to social slavery.

Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity.

 Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity. ​ ​ ​ Each age has its own disease. For example, there is an era that can be said to be bacterial. But this era came to an end, at least with the invention of antibiotics. The beginning of the 21st century can be defined pathologically as neither bacterial nor viral, but rather neurotic. It is an infarct disease, not a contagious disease, and it is a disease caused by an excess of positivity, not the negativity of the immunological other. Therefore, it is by no means governed by immunological techniques aimed at defeating the negativity of others. ​ The last century was the immunological age. In other words, it was an era in which clear boundaries were drawn between the inside and the outside, friends and enemies, and me and others. The essence of immunological behavior is aggression and defense. There is a certain blindness in the essence of these immunological devices that have taken over the entire society from the...

The Truth of Perspectiveism, Maturana.

 The Truth of Perspectiveism, Maturana. "The observer is the source of all things. Without the observer nothing exists. The observer is the basis of all knowledge. The basis of all claims concerning man himself, the world and the universe. The extinction of the observer is the It will mean an end and annihilation, for there will be no one left to perceive, speak, describe or explain." - <<From Being to Doing>> Maturana ​ Someone is watching something. Marurana says this is a fundamental starting point. The person develops a world of his own as he sees it as an observer. If the other person exists as an observer, then the other person's world exists, and as an observer, the world that that person sees also exists. ​ The philosopher Nietzsche, before Maturana, described this as perspectives. If the term perspectives is difficult to describe, you can borrow the term from Maturana and call it 'observers. ​ ​ Snakes are creatures of a different world from human...

active reading.

 active reading. We know more about the world than we used to, and you may still think that knowledge is essential to understanding something. But knowledge is no longer as essential for understanding as one-sided thinking. You don't have to 'know' everything about something to 'understand' it. Too much information can actually be an obstacle to understanding something. The present age is overflowing with facts that prevent us from understanding the correct appearance of things due to a lot of information. ​ One of the most active projects of some of the best intellectuals today is to unite views from an intellectual standpoint. Through the Internet, television, radio, and magazines, people are provided with well-organized resources, from clever persuasion to carefully curated information and statistics, to make 'decisions' with little effort. But with effective packaging, viewers, listeners, and readers are sometimes unable to make their own decisions. As i...
