        a) Be sure.

To be sure is important. Even more important is to know what one is sure of. One can be sure of the temporal, one can be sure of the eternal. As a whole one can be sure of eternal time. Physical appearances one cannot be sure of. Although predictable to a degree one must confide in the guarantee of changing form more than confide, or pretend to confide, in the guarantee of the stability of form. Although quality is defined by the stability of form, only the guarantee of adaptation to time and circumstances will give confidence.

With living beings eternal time is known by the soul. With that to be sure of the soul is the prime management strategy. Once people are kept together in function to the soul, one can speak of a successful enterprise. The endeavor must define the relation to the soul. Endeavoring for optimal adaptation to time and circumstances can thus form a definition of ideal management. This means that in principle to each locality a different variation of the product, be it material or of the spirit, may develop. Such an ideal product is a do-it-your-self-adaptation kit. One can have a typewriter, but not the text. One can have the food, but not the setting of the table. One can have a text, but not the interpretation to the time of reading. Ultimately the soul is the last(ing) authority or product of the divine or divine of the product one can be sure of. 

 

         b) Avoid speculation.

Having to be sure of the soul, one has to be sure of its rule. To the eternal values of the soul there is a basic set of principles for management to which there must be no further speculation. Further speculation will nullify the guarantee of the soul so that the confidence in the product will dwindle. The basic values are expressed in the dictum: true sharing and caring is clean. From this dictum the basic principles ensue as expressed in the first commandment of all successful enterprise: with no intoxication (truth), nor damaging anyone (caring) and without gambling (sharing) one should attain to a legal love (cleanliness) of producing and consuming (pict.). So e.g. drinking alcohol, failing in compassion, betting on a horse while fornicating, is exactly the way to lose touch with the soul and ruin the enterprise. Therefore speculation about this command should be avoided. There can be varieties of interpretation from company to company, but the basic command does not tolerate any amendment. Having lost touch with the basic command necessitates penance and/or pilgrimage. 

 

         c) Check your work.

If the best product is peace, then war might be the work. This is a problem. The rule of maturity implies that no one has to check your work. Outside agents of control turn society in a school from which one never graduates. Teachers, people checking, have to work to be superfluous, without any consideration for their own position. Thus seen unemployment is the highest achievement. Without this society will be a hell of paranoia. In fact the definition of work is the issue here. Nobody is really unemployed. The term should be removed from the dictionary and be redefined as being unsalaried. Service to the soul, service to the material motive, and service without consent are the three types of work that keep man busy. People mess up unqualified on their own, need to be corrected to material standards and at last have to be saved by laboring for the soul. This is what the work of man is really all about. This is how people check theirwork and run society (pict.).

The mature individual incorporates the triple definition of work: from a positive identification with the authorities he works without further consent on his own trying not to mess up. Finding out he does, he corrects himself to the material standard known and enjoys the fruit of this war for result in the peace of his soulsaving strategies. A mature society should take this in account: understand people to live on their own accord, forgive them their offenses against the standard, and care for them with social security for the sake of peace admitting that not everyone always can work independently for the result. Keeping peace enjoying social security is just as important as fighting for a result or being your own boss. In fact healthy society is not possible cutting any of these three limbs. 

 

         d) In case of failure correct, excuse and plan for better.

Many people fail: they go sick, commit suicide, suffer an accident, drop out, suffer addiction or go crazy (pict.). As far as intelligence is lacking one can educate, guide and direct. As far as experience is lacking one can give the example, be the model. As far as the tendency for natural chaos is involved one can represent, uphold the order needed (pict.). Any way, failure must be recognized, excused and corrected. This is the foundation of society we cannot do without. One cannot all ride the exemplar horse or all be teachers, nor will just mending the broken order do. In the denial of failure all psychopathology is sprouting. Not properly identified with one's forefathers one might not understand why things do not work out properly: one does not always realize who one is, in whose shoes one is standing. Culture doesn't drop out of the sky but has a history of failure and success. With changing times cards are reshuffled and games must be played all over. That is what makes life interesting: history repeats itself, but not the same way. Man evolve into woman and vice versa. Roles can be fixed, but not the actors. To day one runs the company, tomorrow one has to start somewhere else as an apprentice.

Without the realization of failure, the excusing of failure and the will to correct we may speak of mental illness: the soul is not served by deceit and the psyche goes crazy in reflecting the fear of failure. A society accepting failure as a challenge for work in fact has no losers: only the occupation changes. 

 

         e) Always ask as much as possible.

One can ruminate and speculate, but lacking experience, the model or the right order one is lost without the sincere will to recognize an other man's authority. This is done questioning. It is not always possible to ask questions, but at least one quarter of society should live for answering questions from the rest. Intellectuals, bookpeople, apollonian academic's, priests, advisors and counselors, should guide, direct and settle order for governmental officiating, independent enterprising and salaried laboring people. Some must be the wisest. The spiritual orientation of mindpeople should cohere for the sake of the soul representing the basic values and the knowledge of their trade and specialization. Often they will answer inhibitively to discourage the material motive and promote the peace of their own business. But in fact there is need of a balance of material and spiritual interest (pict.). Although each culture has its own style of management, things do not matter without the spirit and the spirit makes no sense without the relative world. 

 

         f) Forgive and forget.

It is not so easy to forgive, nor can we forget so quickly with all kinds of damage done in view. It takes power to forgive and forget. Knowledge is power. The greatest crimes can be forgiven seeing criminals as victims of a failing system. You can recognize them even as hero's, fighting the system. In order to stop struggling over power, power is divided and counterbalanced. This is how power is maintained and how one can forgive and forget. Just as in the political field, the lead of society also goes in three. Man has to walk on two legs, and therefore three limbs of power are needed. Politics walk on the legs of religion and the intellect. Religion rules on the basis of alternating political and intellectual interest. The intellectual commune has to balance between religion and politics. In order to cook pasta, water, a pan and pasta are needed. So equally to have a sane and balanced society capable of forgiving and forgetting power must be divided and counterbalanced by the three limbs of politics, religion and science (pict.). One can't do without the other. Everything has been tried and all that has been proven is that it takes all kinds to make a healthy society. Hate everyone knows from the ego of his group of identification which always thinks it more easy to accuse than to repent. But anyone watching his legs may notice it takes two to tango and one to play the music. Don't shoot the pianist and let the couple dance. Then misery will be forgotten. 

 

         g) Know your territory: explore and discover.

It is easy to have a prejudice and live in contempt. Just not knowing what is going on or how things are, people living a one-sided strategy lose sight of the complete reality. Each concept of ego pretends to uphold the complete, but none does. There is order, beauty and consciousness in all around. Things are also in a constant flux. One has to keep up with the changes going on to have a clear judgment free from prejudice and contempt. For this constant exploration and discovery are required. One has to test one's suppositions and come to new ones. This trial and error attitude is typically scientific. The danger of this attitude is fostering ignorance: as if it is not known that everyone compensates for the loss of soul and goes for the pride of the ego. From the division of power one learns to recognize the limitations of each option: science tends to foolishness, religion tends to become irrational, and politics tend to abuse. None should be condemned though because of its limitations: scientific method (pict.), the wonders of the holy (pict.) and the discourse of the political (pict.) are absolutely needed. All these need careful exploration to find out how they work from time to time. Without discovering how things really are, how can one adapt and have a wise strategy of one's own? 

 

         h) Be as independent as possible.

One of the most important requirements of healthy business is independence. Each has a world of his own. Each world has its own priorities, rules, weaknesses (pict.), balances etc. To mind one's own business is basic to an enduring integrity of management. Drawing to outside authority and resource need careful scrutiny: is it really needed, and when needed how far can one go giving business out of hand? With great precaution these things should be tested to the same norm: are they independent themselves and do they tolerate your independence. There are many schools making pyramids of material as well as spiritual profit. God is not the same as the advantage of doubt though. God is the integrity and complete of nature and culture, not simply a strategy of profit to fool seekers. So religiously independence comes upon realizing the true nature of God. Politically and scientifically this is less clear as everything seems to stick together materially. Still no one can really manage without a conscientious soul. On the basis of mere material ego no stability can be found. So, for whatever strategy of power, be it in the name of God, the party,or the control over nature, a clear conscience is indispensable. For this every bug in one's behavioral repertoire should be beaten: without a clear mind, wasting energy on false excuses, no success with the management of the soul can be, and without a contented soul one is nothing but a slave of material nature. For this every mother needs a child, every boss an employee, every teacher a pupil and every student an example. Once the other is in the heart, independence can be. 

 

         i) Socialize.

Socializing is easily forgotten by the one's cherishing work before anything. Society has a rhythm of its own and because of that line one can easily refrain from socializing, which is a pity as on itself it was not so bad at all. With another division of the real solstice to solstice-year e.g. in 24 fifteen day periods counting twelve month's of thirty days and 48 weeks with five extra days equally spread but for the midst of summer, one can oppose with one's own rhythm and socialize without getting lost in the roman style of conquering by the old calender. Another trick is to check your schedule to the position of the sun by setting a watch on sun time (see table). This trick defeats the political domination of standard time. Socializing is not free from hypnotic attraction managing a rhythm of its own so that each system has its trick to nullify the other. The complexity of modern culture forms a challenge and with all experimenting socializing should not be sacrificed. 

 

         j) If critical about others always add the constructive remark.

One should not only be self critical, but also not spare others the truth of the second opinion. This is all very essential for social control and a dynamic society. To be a hypocrite makes a society of hypocrites and such a sham makes a downfall not always as peaceful as would be wished for. Thus wisdom commands this precocious and loving criticism nobody really wants to hear. But that's life and it can be endured by means of the constructive remark: 'you are o.k., but without that fancy necktie of yours I'd be happy recognizing your formal being'. Or: 'you're smelling too heavy darling, but going for a walk together I could endure'. Or to the system: 'it's a mean and bad old world, but at an other time it can be livable'. No one can live with the idea that he, she or everything is bad, but with a confession for the better people can find happiness. In this rule is thus contained: the end justifies the means. Not knowing how to live for a better world people swallow their criticism and fall in silence. In such a society nobody feels at home. No light, no future, no knowledge, no happiness. Not to fall in suicide and other self-defeating destruction (pict.) constructive criticism based on awareness of the ideal is a need. 

 

         k) Guard against temptations.

In business the dictum is business before pleasure. But the pleasure of working is not really understood with this. So, temptation refers more to the difference of attitude towards the pleasure principle in general. Lust and love can be differentiated by its regulations. Lust is primal and bears hardly any postponement and control. Love is loyal to the secondary and is willing to subject in goodness to schedule and conditions. From this the inevitable conclusion must be that to settle all desire in goodness is the solution for the problem of pleasure ruining business. Not only the pleasure principle is in danger of the irregular. Also the reality principle for managing business is under the threat of temptation. For an enterprising company it is difficult to be too strict in schedule: one has to be dynamic in order to adapt quickly. Things cannot always be settled by means of clockwork etc. Here the rule of cooperation is valid. The temptation to the reality principle is to get lost on a power trip of one's ego. To have the conscience and courage to share doubts and elation with coworkers will tune one down to the level of reality needed to survive in business (pict.). 

 

         l) Do not worry about your image.

It is important to be consistent in one's appearance and character. But the reality of the person is dynamic: appearance is an adaptation and adaptations change to time and circumstances. Also character is dynamic: one can develop from strong to weak and vice versa. A die-hard may give in for a while and someone easy going can pick up an old rule forgotten. With all these dynamics of life it is clear that one should not worry about one's image as it goes. What is important is the cosmic consciousness of true selfrealization. Serving the reality of the soul anything can happen: life becomes an adventure where old certainties are exchanged for unlimited choice. Of course one cannot be The Lord Himself and enjoy forever the bliss and knowledge of the cosmic soul of the complete whole. We'll have to live by the small and modest ecstasy's of our meditations, love and compassion and are thus bound to our choices. Complete freedom and choice is therefore never the case.

Worry one should always for the sake of a clear conscience in the first place. A forsaken duty can bring disaster. Clinging to one's preferred image can not only corrupt the soul for the sake of appearance, but can also ruin one's sanity and the whole of society. If some leaders in the past wouldn't have persisted with their false pride in view of their own failure, the world would have been much better of. Because of persisting with the false pride of an image in failure a lot of honorable manhood seems to have lost its image for ever. Cultures exercising jealousy always fall down while friends sacrificing their image temporarily for the sake of the truth and the soul always will find themselves maintained in the loyalty of the authentic order. 

 

         m) Stick to the role you're playing.

As one is sticking to one's duty one must also be consequent to the role one is playing. Problems arise when roles are in conflict. A man rarely can manage his wife the way he manages his business. One compensates the other as well as change in the one relation leads to changes in the other relation too. So, everyone is in search of his and her integrity. To keep an image, o.k., to play a role o.k., but to stay integer, that is a different thing. Every man realizes he is not God. Sooner or later cracks appear, temptations win over, and the front is lost. Thus the whole business can be lost and no role be continued. But it must not be so.

To any play there is a director and a script, a beginning and an end. Not only can the role be played although one is not holy, also the business of the play can be kept although one's role is over. The director can forgive the actor for losing front, the play can be indifferent to the one's playing. From this can be derived that enterprising requires management aware of the need of tolerance as no one is fully experienced from the beginning. Also learned is to work from a clear management plan. There must be some kind of script, bible or bookcase in control of the play going on. As stated earlier: a society without a clear concept of formal (liberating) order (pict.) is on the way of selfdestruction.

To role-playing there is a beginning and an end. Living for the soul one can mistake to be physically eternal. This is egotism which also ruins the company as the elder do not step aside for the younger. To change roles by tradition is just as important as keeping them. One implies the other in fact. Thus the dictum must be: you're always welcome to start and always free to leave. Nothing as bad as inaccessibility and the idea that one couldn't be missed. From this point of view a correct formal order always provides for the different stages of life. 

 

         n) Seek your identity in your status and occupation.

Without knowledge of the soul, conscience doesn't work properly and formal order is not recognized nor developed. From this state of uncertainty compensations develop in search of identity. All kind of weird culture can thus exist, some being more harmful than the other. The denominator of these subcultures is the neurotic search for identity and the non bona fide experiment with authority and identification. Great disaster follows the despair of collectively failing to manage this neurotic, temporary adaptation in absence of formal liberation. One could be liberated, but finds oneself dropping out, one could be formal, but finds oneself being bound in cultures of compensation. Celebrations being penance and penance being disease, such a society cannot find happiness or any hope for the future. This is a dangerous condition.

To escape from the greatest danger some kind of step should be made towards the authentic order defining the identity (pict.) of status and occupational orientation (pict.). As known this is always very near and not far away from everyday reality. To be a simple workman should be a recognized and respected social position. Trade should not be condemned as being bad because of the profit motive. Rulership of the military, civil or noble kind, should be condoned as a practical necessity despite of its demoniac propensities. At last one should always try to respect the spiritual and scientific authorities, however far away from every day reality their judgment might be. Status of being married, being single active or withdrawn or being wisdom on the loose, should not prevail over one another. With these directives in mind a reasonable, orderly society with clear identities should be possible. 

 

         0) Be consequent.

Not to be completely consequent to one's image or the temporary of one's roles, still one must be consequent to the regulative principles as derived from the eternal values of sharing, caring, cleanliness and truth. The level of respect progressing on these principles can differ widely according to status, orientation, or stage of life. At one extreme sharing can mean to sacrifice everything for the community only, while at the other extreme one can sacrifice everything for the sharing of independence. The same way caring can mean to have a society providing for all the needs of mutual care at the one hand, while at the other extreme everyone would be successful in caring for oneself only not providing for anything else. Also cleanliness can mean all to be total abstainers having children from the laboratory only, while at the other extreme all sex would be o.k. as long as it is practiced safely within the bounds of law. As for the truth one can have a society free from all drugs, nicotine, alcohol, coffee, tea, chocolate or whatever intoxication, while at the other hand can be chosen for limits set by police-order and excise. Somehow though these values must be exercised. Most of the time reality takes the form of moderation concerning intoxication, preservation concerning the sexual, regulation as far as financial speculation is concerned, and compensation concerning compassion in danger with e.g the eating of meat (pict.). Forgetting about them is a falldown of general discipline and a threat to the continence of culture. 

 

         p) Be always prepared to give up material purposes.

This is a rule of attitude. It means everybody can do any kind of thing as on the outside one cannot see what principle is working at the inside. A criminal person can be an undercover agent, while a mental patient can be a scientist studying the psychology in participating observation. Decisive is the attitude of willingness to give up the material purpose for the sake of the principle. All major religions are based on this rule: the sinners continue to sin and the fallen continue to fall, as long as the Lord is as graceful to forgive all kinds and variations thus led to the benches of penance. One weakness regretted is thus worth more than one strength denied (pict.)This rule is also the secret formula for progress in general (pict.), material as well as spiritual. Prepared to give up the material, the material is done more justice still treating it, while exchanging the motive of fruitive action for the motive of the maintenance of the soul also reveals the hidden resources of intelligence. 

 

         q) Always defend your honor.

The rule is clear, but not the honor. It needs to be defended. Reality is that no material norm of honor will endure. So, choosing for this or that will always lead to a fall-down. One has to choose for this and that, keeping the assertion-rule, stating that confession to something can not be repression of something else. There is always the tendency to identify with any new material outlook. This is the deluding quality of material nature. If honor is taken to depend on this or that, having a fall down as a consequence, the process is called false identification. Honor should always be defended with the interest of the soul in mind. To prevent war one has to safeguard against the repression that comes with the delusion of choosing; it is thus about creating choice, not about enforcing one or another choice. Anyone taking a look at nature will see the reality of this truth (pict.).

Problem with the defense of honor is the identification. Choosing for consciousness, what to hold on to? It is the eternal problem of the form of God not being God. Quickly a golden calf is created which is indeed a form of God. But forgetting the commandments was not what was meant. It is not bad to create a form of God, it is bad to go wild with idolatry. God is money, but money is not God. God is time, but worshiping clockwork doesn't keep the devil away. So, concerning time and money differences of form may be, but cannot repress one another. Concerning time, different types of time can be, but the people, free men, will decide for them self what time will suit them best. All that needs to be done is to defend the honor of freedom. Working for the freedom of choice there is no falsehood of honor; it is the definition of the post-modern. Whether any restoration will take place is up to the democratic choice of the people.  

 

         r) Silence is golden.

Material activity defies the mindful. After thinking there should be action, but after action, there should be rethinking. To err is human. Therefore silence is golden and speaking silver. Without choosing the silent world of thought where only the inner voice is to be heard at first and at last, there is no repentance possible and no correction either. This is a disaster that cannot be. The consequence of speaking and acting without prior and posterior reflection is to be caught in a spiral of downfall leading to war and destruction. The essential drive of the silver threat is ignorance. For the other one keeps up the appearance of wisdom, but having grown into a dictator (missing the scripture, the association in the spirit and the inner teacher) the destruction is a fact. Creation without reflection leads to destruction That is the true meaning of golden silence (pict.). The monks have always been praying until the politicians had freaked out and repented.

Ignorance means falling short of knowledge, as the pride of the things known already won't do. History always teaches the same lesson: a new world is inevitable, but the bewilderment in the silver cold of false identification always takes place. In order to prevent mass opposition and armed conflict parliamentary discussion, opposition and downfall of democratic leaders form the solution. New things are created and promoted. Old things have to be defended anew. This is the modern - post modern - restoration - cycle. It is a natural law: mutation - coexistence - reintegration in repeat. The fittest survive and they turn out to be an all-purpose design: complexity increases. This is evolution. Thus people do not work on sundays, nor on saturdays while expanding to an alternative scheme might even add days of (media-ar-)rest, study and festivity by further regulation (see tables). 

 

         s) Do not complain more than necessary.

To complaining the first question is: does one have the right to complain? There is a difference between hysteria and conveyance. The hysteric is in want of attention, but doesn't convey what the real message is. This is pathological. The true complaint is the one conveying the interest of the soul. The hysteric pleading for the attachment to the temporary of this or that is an unrighteous complainer. In stead of acting themselves the ones neurotic about the inability to endure the freedom of choice, can e.g. accuse and project. The others are sometimes blamed and/or even called God, just to escape the self-responsible.

Complaining, the want of the soul seems to be getting attention. Of course it is the soul, the reflection of righteous selfremembrance that is in need of attention, but we always fall in the same pit. We always end up stealing the show and repenting after the party is over. It is simply very difficult not to get caught in a one-way street which can be 'holy' itself, but turns out to be the devil undoing the rest of holiness (pict.). Thus the conclusion must be that the complaint for the sake of the movement inwards has all right whereas the complaint for mere attention is to be recognized as unrighteous. To righteous complaining there is a complexity of cause and effect meaning work in some or another way. The beginning of that work can be bitter to its material effect: the material is in disorder. Accepting the symptoms, the treatment leading to the restoration of order gives way to the peace-making soul in healthy touch with material nature: the consequence is taken, the sickness cured and the freedom of choice restored. Duties done do not only cure from material chaos, also mental disease is alleviated. As long as the doctor is representing the interest of the soul the disease of complaining can be cured. A good physician will always say: I can help and promote, but the curing is done by the soul itself. 

 

         t) In want of help seek the bona fide.

Because of not knowing a honest person will always be a seeker. Nobody is the complete of selfremembrance, since nobody can claim to be the true self or God. Psychologically it is even simply stupid to claim to have realized one's ideal self. To a sane person there is always a new horizon. Therefore it is always a step by step towards, and never reaching completely. It is the paradox of the hare not able to overtake the turtle: he can never cover more than half the distance. Materially it is nonsense, but to the soul there is no doubt.

In search one is in want of the bona fide which is then defined as expertise in touch with the soul. In material knowledge one might know more than the holy man, but a computer is not a holy man. One can be informed about the soul by teacher, books and company, but information without communion is empty. The false prophet will plea for the falsehood of material form: worship this, love those, go there, keep that, etc. The bona fide preacher will liberate for another communion: he'll go to heaven, leave you the responsibility and work from inside the soul. He didn't built churches, temples or sites of pilgrimage. He built heart, spirit and soul: this is to hearten, this is the spiritual kingdom, this is the soul that is in heaven. It is always the material trick of our own false preaching spoiling the message, turning God into the opposite and rendering the believer heresy in stead of truth. So all schools called bona fide are nuts to crack: inedible without the firm decision to go for the palatable inside knowledge of the soul and throw away the outer covering. The outer appearances can be purely demoniac as a warning against demons not capable of bearing their own image. In search of the bona fide to this rule cannot be said where to go or whom to consult. Wherever one goes, whomever one meets: one always has to return home. And home is where the heart is. As long as the house is cleaned, the heart is purified by the command of selfremembrance, one will find one's independence and responsibility back. 

 

         u) Do not discriminate to gender, religion, political preference, race,                                  status or occupation.

Of course one needs to discriminate in the sense of being aware of difference. Even two identical molecules take another place in space-time (pict.). It is not the defiance of the command of consciousness telling to see the differences. Just as one has to remember that soul is selfremembrance, while not all selfremembrance would serve the soul, to this as well is to be known that seeing differences to the interest of consciousness does not imply that making a difference is in defense of consciousness. As with the defense of honor one must be interested in not losing one's mind identifying falsely. Despite of gender-identity, the importance of one's own racial culture, religion and whatever of material form, the reality of the soul, the interest of conscientious selfremembrance does not change. It is not only the interest that doesn't change, it is the ultimate reality of the soul that doesn't. To mistake the form of selfremembrance for the goal that is the self remembering is the definition of bewilderment. 

 

         v) Keep up your appearance: show your strength.

Being consequent, enduring, holding on to the principle of the soul, must not mean to fall in material neglect. In fact in the complex of cause and effect, one is obliged to dutiful activity in order to accomplish the meditation of selfremembrance. Only with all respect the soul is found, not with the excuses of neglect which can never make peace with the material world and thus not contain. So, once having stolen the show, one has to continue, but how? The secret answer of know how is not to betray. Betraying one did, but betraying cannot continue. Just as the dying of what was betrayed, also the traitor has to die. The question is thus how to retreat without losing the appearance. In the evolution of the soul detachment is the mechanism with the career of realigning being the continuance of the show. This can only be with the development of strength. Withdrawing one's energies from the concept of material possessiveness necessitates the reintegration of bodily and mental strength. Old integrations reappear that were long forgotten and new capacities develop in the transformation of the show that realigns. The secret of knowing how is found in the realigning of the old ego interest with the new interest of the order of the soul. The show continues, the appearance differs. From alienated one becomes aligned. 

 

         w) Go with the flow.

Naturally the flow goes down from the mountains to the sea. The same way the flow of life is from heaven to earth. One has to come down from one's narcistic pedestal and descend into the world of compassion. In heaven compassion is not needed. No grace no love, no love no God, no God no life. Thus one comes down. With the willing of this the downfall of the soul is understood again with the small difference of experience. Passion is the danger of the downward action and even the madness of indolence is there. Not willing to act makes the false passion and not willing to move makes the madness. Passion would be about love: the world a woman, the spirit a man and the man has to love the woman. Equally madness would have an object: I'm mad about my darling but not crazy because I'm missing her. So as the story goes the man manufactures himself the object of love and madness. This is primal. It is the nature of man to be a jealous potter-monkey always mad about the unattainable ideal of the ever-happy and always being passionate about the interests of the world.

As any man knows who has a woman: one must comply. Not only is she a living person, the world also is a thing alive, not a box of blocks to meddle with unmeditated. Therefore one has to go with the flow. In the downward stream one can see in peace everything standing still only if one also goes down. Swimming against will give collision with the double of speed. The vessel to go down-stream with is the boat of rules. These rules need no preaching just as the boat needs no oar. Just the rudder or peddle of timing is needed not to get caught by sand-banks or in whirlpools.  

 

         x) Refer minimally.

A ship needs an anchor, so minimal reference is necessary. The problem comes when the ship has a thousand anchors of which always some are thrown out. Thus one gets nowhere. Reference means the plant having a root. From a basic ground the reality (pict.) came into existence. But a rose cannot be a tree suddenly. In order to stay a rose it must be loyal to its root. Asking a rose where it's beautiful smell came from it cannot refer to the tree either. Therefore, although we have a garden full of reference, still there can only be righteous reference to the real root, not the root likewise growing in the same garden.

The apollonian root of the message revealed contends with the basic attitude of value-free science: it is about the description of human reality without confessing to another set of values but the apollonian. Apollonian values are the values of personhood in the divinity of wisdom. It is not so much about its counterpart: the dyonisian of celebration. Nor is it from the amor-ous of making love or the psyche-ological of selfreflection. The apollonian is about the values of truth, conciousness and the beauty of bliss; about the enduring, knowing and happy. Because of amorousness the psyche suiffers ignorance: it does not reflect the answers of wisdom, just the questions. The apollonian constitutes the answer to the psychological problem and figures for the sake of eternity, goodness and the happiness of beauty as the counterpart and true wealth (pict.) of dyonisian hedonism. 

 

         y) Goodness before passion.

Passion is a natural consequence of life; a mode of nature (pict.). The world is tempting, the heart yearning and the mind taken away. This is passion; it is cherished and promoted as the essence of life and creation and no one could live without. It may all be so, from the indolent of ignorance the responsible attitude of passion cannot be denied to be the better. But passion cannot be a goal in itself. Passion leads to crime and war too. It can be recognized as the healthy resentment against passive inertia and its consequent madness. Still on itself it cannot purify from the contamination of madness: mindfulness is sacrificed in the name of love and without the inhibitive force this runs into warfare sooner or later. Therefore God, and the culture of divine inhibition, is defined as the absolute of goodness, the devil being the personified reality of not willing to be so. Goodness is the basic character of soul while the basic character of ego is known as passion. To passion there is always the material motive as to the soul no other value is really meaningful but the continence of goodness. Anger as the shade of passion, thus seen is a form of ignorance, while the infatuated goodness of attachment can be recognized as likewise growing in the same garden. Truth, compassion and austerity always are the secondary values of the soul subdued by the command of eternal goodness. 

 

         z) Reinforce what you want.

In order to reinforce with e.g. money or other privileges and forms of recognition one must know what one is serving so that it is known what is wanted. The democratic principle in itself is useful politically, but in order to take a lead it does not suffice. One cannot bluntly serve the ignorance of the masses and expect an orderly and righteous peaceful world from it. The democratic is ruled by the pleasure principle of the dyonision motive: they, just, want to party. The reality principle of the apollonian commands the lead of society its values (pict.). Reinforcement thus must be given to the evidence of the basic qualities of the soul: does one endure: reward. Does one support the happy: reward. Does one transcend: reward. Without this clarity of reinforcement the reality of soul can never become prominent as the purpose of servitude in society. People causing grief, maintaining but a flickering of goodness and whose awareness is rarely above the waist cannot be rewarded above a fair standard of social security to keep them from falsifying authority. However, basic adaptation must unconditionally be rewarded and given the same status of membership in society. Peace-keeping people living on social security should not be called a failure of work, to say unemployed, but must be treated as equal members of society although not with the highest esteem for their minimal to zero material contribution. Tables turn and denying this game of determining who is contributing to what, is more costly than all social security awards ever given together. Stealing the honor of likewise adapted people is just like murder or social suicide with no other consequence but a civil or international war of people against people.
