x) Do not gamble on outcome.
y) Identify with the honorable.
z) Accept your loss and glory equanimous.

 

 

           a) Be a good sport.

Sport is defined as physical activity engaged in for pleasure. What the real sport is all about is to gain control over the body. Trough the spirit the body is controlled by the soul (pict.). Thus of first importance is not to lose your soul, but properly align to it. Het ware genoegen, geluk, wordt gevonden in het zich gewetensvol herinnerende zelf. Dus moet men op de eerste plaats spelen volgens de regels van de ziel. From that the goodness of sport can be: the success of having no words, but deeds. 

 

           b) Do not force yourself.

There is a notorious conflict between the mind and the emotions. Many people are confused seeing thoughts and feelings in opposition. The mind can be driven by a lower motive with the soul alarming by means of feelings that the wrong program is operating. Also the body can be conditioned or being under the influence of a lower drive with the mind alarming that those kind of feelings don't match with the program of the soul. Both ways one tends to force the other. There is no recipe saying thoughts or emotions should prevail. There are recipes for alignment to the soul. The soul communicates through emotions ànd thoughts and properly aligned the two are in harmony with no forcing taking place. Following material motives one may think that either one has to suffer pain failing to follow the emotional or madness failing to follow the mindful. Aligning though one escapes from being caught in the duality (pict.). Aligning with the soul means to restore the relationship with the body by means of exercise. Not only from the spiritual motive the mind should be trained, but also from that same motive the body should learn to answer to the definition of sport: one does it just to feel good to begin with, not for the sake of being number one. Thus basic exercise is not to develop skill or muscle or stamina, but simply to feel good in the body the way it is. One does basically not force oneself to any accomplishment or outcome but one engages in physical activity for the sake of itself. This is commonly known throughout the world under different denominations as bending and stretching. The Indians do it this way, the chinese that way and the westerners call it so and so. However named basically the mind and the body align by simple exercise according to a personally preferred pattern. Muscles are stretched and contracted for the sake of toning them up. Blood-circulation is enhanced as a consequence and one feels good from that. Regularly straining the body this way without forcing it appeases the mind and makes the body supple. It is even prescribed as a precondition for proper meditation. One will notice being caught in conditionings as the body will get stiff at times. Realizing where the stiffness comes from the exercising gives room for meditating alternatives to counter the stifling conditioning. This is better than forcing oneself against the conditioning thus running into pain or falling into madness. 

 

           c) Eat healthfood.

To eat healthy means predominantly not to eat too much. Overeating leads to all kinds of diseases having too much fat and too much toxic waste in the body. Especially eating meat is really not necessary. Proteins and essential vitamins can be obtained from beans, cereal and dairy products. Digestion of meat takes more energy and produces more toxins as pure vegetarian food because of the more complex proteins in the meatdish. Our stomach doesn't really have the kind of acid and short intestines predators have so that half digested meat will tend to rot in the intestines unless one stresses one's body to have a more active digestive tract. Any physician will tell the ordinary meateater to eat more diverse and have more exercise. By nature primates that eat meat just do so once in four to six weeks to replenish the supply of vitamin B12 which is rare in plantfood. Humans can find it in milk and foodsupplements like kelp and spirulina (a seaweed and an algy). Therefore switching to a more vegetarian style of taking healthfood the advise is to eat normal as one did before except for replacing the meatdish with beans-products supplemented with kelp or spirulina in case not enough vitamin is acquired from milkproducts. Cutting in the amount and the type of protein digested one can lead a more calm way of life without stressing for the sake of discharge. One will not be less strong in the body provided a wholesome diet, nor will one have less energy giving up the agressionmotive that would justify the predatory style. One has exactly the same chemicals and same body to operate with. It is just the food-discipline that has changed. Difficulties in switching from one style to the other can be ascribed to a lack in routine as one is always conditioned to continue the old way. Hunger may not be hunger properly kicked off from the habit of meateating and eating too much in general (pict.). 

 

           d) Stop smoking and drinking.

Smoking one loses lungcapacity as the lungs fill with slime for the purpose of cleaning them from the smoke residue. Regularly smoking will seriously prevent the body from restoring to a clean state so that all kinds of disease can follow. Of those cancer is the most notorious. It is said that smoking not only will cost you ten years of your lifespan but that it also seriously impairs the normal functioning because of a diminished condition and a mind agitated by the toxins. Nicotine narrows the bloodvessels and falsifies concentration. One will even be concentrated when it is not wanted, so that caught in toxic stress one will lose one's normal positive attitude in life. Addictions have a psychology of their own. The general denominator is unhappiness because of intoxication. The real cause of smoking and other intoxications is the inability of proper aligning to the interest of the truth: the soul. Because one does not know how to bind and focus one's energies one holds on to artificial means that of course will never satisfy beyond a certain superficial effect or faking. It is escapism with an inability to cope with the truth of life .

Drinking alcohol is traditionally done to relax and let go. Especially meateaters must overstrain their bodies to get rid of their toxic waste. Stressed up unnaturally they tend to accuse the cultural situation for it and derive from that snobbish elevation in the predatory mode a spiteful attitude of contempt against society to justify their alcoholabuse. Heavy addiction follows the failure of adaptation in the negativistic intoxicated mode. For years one can be lying to keep up the pretense of health, but the process is difficult to reverse without a serious conversion to the higher values of the soul (pict.). To maintain and be successful in sport or society in general, not to smoke and drink at all is the best. Practically a conscious confession to the eternal values with a wise attitude of moderation considering any intoxicant (also tea, coffee, cacao and soft-drugs) will give an acceptable result. 

 

           e) Keep exercising.

Endurance in exercise is important. From the basic interest of bending and stretching one can have many more exercises to develop skill and strength for the sake of a certain outcome. All these will have to be discarded later on as one gets older and/or has realized one's goals. One may even hope that the exercise did not do any harm as overdeveloped muscles will fatten losing function. Especially for the heart muscle that is dangerous. Thus one has at the one hand to give up while at the other hand one has to continue with the basic exercises that may continue until death. Simple bending and stretching as far as it goes will keep the body as fit as is also possible at a high age. With the endurance of exercise the art of alignment will come forth. 

 

           f) Follow instructions.

Buying an appliance one receives an instruction for use. It is normal to follow these instructions although always the temptation is strong to experiment without reading any instructions. With the contraption of the human body playing the games of life there is the same tendency: it is normal to read of all the 'commandments' but rather we find out by damage and shame for ourselves how the game actually works. Once beyond the age of twenty-one the urge of the mature option is that strong that not rarely children docile as they are would do better than the adults. Adults make up their own rules creating societies that are not at all meant by the books of instruction. No one would maintain that dropping atombombs would be the ideal way of ending an armed conflict. Still those things happen just because scriptures are not properly consulted and put in practice. Another nice example is our julian/gregorian roman calendar: it is really a chaotic mess we only managed to tune to the sun by means of one reform. The mess of having two divisions of time running through one another (date and day, week and month), was never meant in the ancient scriptures of e.g. the Far East. From there the sober notion sprouted to have one division for the day as well as for the year (tables). But only recently this could be noticed as no one knew those scriptures while the one's knowing them did, apart from a mooncalendar not really feel responsible for such technicalities and gave priority to an adaptation to the roman style.

Not following, not teaching and thus not knowing these instructions many perversions of culture in ignorance could sprout making the world-culture a vague idea of what it could be. This is also found in the department of sports where all kinds of rule's drive people against each other in opposition forgetting the primal definition of the sport. One would sport for pleasure and not for the sake of enmity between opposing parties as evidenced by e.g. the mutual killing of soccersupporters in serious battles of armed confrontation. The actual rules of sport hardly provide for the meditation of the values of alignment fixed on accomplishing points, money and status more than on accomplishing a superior command of sport. What is forgotten is that another definition of being a good sport is not just to be pleasurable, jest or likable but also to be one showing mutation. One should evolve adaptations to a higher level of selfrealisation in sport getting more close to the values and truth of alignment. Thus seen consequently following the rules would lead to better rules, higher games and smarter players. 

 

           g) Avoid drugs.

This is a basic rule sprouting from the eternal value of loving the truth. Those who are in conflict with the truth feel that. Those who adhere to the truth that is in conflict feel that. Not knowing how to define the truth, which according to the dictionary is to be understood by the real state of things as an agreement with fact or reality, people suffer and want to escape. Drugs offer such an escape. To a psychiatrist a person is sick as soon as he cannot manage the problem of the truth: such a person would be in need of medicine as his brain does not function properly. To a psychologist though a person in need is not a sick person as such but a person honest enough to admit that he hasn't reached his horizon, never will reach that horizon but still has to go for a horizon. Although the psychologist cannot exactly define the horizon as he has to be value-free, he can help to find out what the position is the person has taken and to what horizon there would be perspective. To a filognostic the horizon is known: love for knowledge means one always goes for the soul. The name of the therapy is order, the name of the authority is God, and the form of God is Time. The filognostic is the representative of the God of Time and the Lord is the authentic expression of his practice. Loving the truth he cannot say what the name of the Lord is as the Lord has many names. In that he stays the scientist undecided about the value of this or that Lordship.

What counts in the fight for the sake of the truth of the soul is the adaptation to Time and circumstances so that no fixation will overrule the love for the fellow man. Loving knowledge books are the second medium, the first medium of truth is the person himself. Therefore always the books, the media, come second to the human being transmitting the knowledge himself. If he can choose between the theater and the cinema he will chose the theater. If he must choose between a scheme of time and a dynamic improvisation to that scheme he will improvise. Also choosing between the priest and the bible he will choose the priest. If he can choose between holding on to drugs or giving them up for the sake of the order of the soul he will choose the latter. A person loving knowledge, a filognosist, will always talk and meditate with people as direct as possible without glorifying anyone or anything. That includes drugs. Drugs might be temporarily needed, but the chronic use to escape from the challenge of truth he will reject. No clouding of consciousness may be seen at the horizon one is going for although often one may depart from the intoxicated mists of the down-fall. 

 

           h) Be a team.

To the definition of truth there is need of agreement. One must form a team and hold together. Considering a (re)new(ed) worldorder the most likely scripture of accordance is the (english) dictionary. Knowing what one is talking about there is the strength and danger of a groupego. Ego separates itself as a cultural specific in defiance of others: it is identified with the body, a uniform, a scripture, a style of celebration etc. The ego is self-esteem of the mediator between soul and material reality. (pict.) Identified with the material purpose and forgetting the duty of mediating the interest of the soul it falsifies and becomes dangerous. E.g. in the interest of filognosy one might propose a new design for a clock. But to the reality of the soul one must honestly say that such a material endeavor is not really needed for an individual who can very well handle with a normal clock and calendar when it comes to settling alternatives of timemanagement (see tables). Putting the material effect secondary the interest of maintaining for the sake of the soul is guaranteed and the danger of the violent falsehood of ego evaded.

To the idea of sport the same is true: one must have an agreement about rules that represent proper mediation between the soul (eternal values<pict.) and material nature (the rules of the game). Without the first the ego will falsify and the sport will be a fall-down. Thus the rules of a game must somehow reflect the eternal values. The idea of forming a team must precede the game, as everyone knows. The game may be that one cooperates or opposes, but to begin with one must be one. To take the example of soccer: one should be all good football-players, but for a game the teams should actually only be selected at the beginning of the game, not be fixed long before as an ego of opposition. Another rule of equality is that the reserve should have equal chances to play. So having e.g. 32 players one can be separated in two teams just before a game, say red and blue expressed by shirts and/or bands, while each randomly selected team should be cut in two with eleven playing and five reserve, while the rule of the game can be that anyone playing the ball out of the field should be replaced by a reserve. Thus everybody has a chance to play while the motivation to keep the ball in the game is also strengthened. This way no falsehood of ego can spoil the teamspirit while everybody has an equal chance to prove his ability to keep the ball in the field. The people then also come for a good game with good players an not so much for this or that team. 

 

           i) Do not swear and curse.

Expressions of strength and discontent arise with the aggression that comes with the desire for results. The game can be overshadowed by the desire to win. The basic philosophy should be that the will to win is proof of the uncertainty that one takes a winning position. From the idea that one can only lose and thus one must be defensive, aggression is much better controlled. Thus the game must be for the quality of playing, not for the amount of goals scored. One can, with the idea of soccer, imagine that players are motivated in the first place to keep the ball in the game and on one's own side thus scoring minutes of control while scoring goals can be discouraged by calling the first party who scores more than ten the breaker of the game. The ball would then have to be scored in one's own goal only to be defended by the other party who has the exclusive right to the defense-area not wanting the game to be ended. The public would be decisive in judging the quality of the play and stimulating players to score or keep back. As in real life one must go for one's own goal scoring on the time of control while others keep you from attaining to stretch the game as long as possible (not for more than eight working hours of four times two). This is a game of 'dutch' soccer more close to the reality and truth of the soul than the ordinary aggressive typeof soccer making victims and enemies on false ego and profitmotives. 

 

           j) Always shower.

In a good game one must run oneself into sweat. For instance in the previous example of 'dutch' soccer one could try to keep the ball to oneself in the defense area, just training a bit amongst oneself ignoring the the other party that must stay out of the area. The public would have to call that off as boring with the philosophy that winning without sweat is no good sport at all. The rule may be expressed by the fact that time of control scored in the defense area does not count to the victory so that the team is always motivated to get into the confrontation decided to score and finish the game or not to score but stay in control. It is just like monks who cannot stay in the monastery to keep the honor of the order. The honor of the order is to have a mission and score on the capacity to control or attain one's goal although obstructed by the 'ignorant'. The shower each good sport must take after playing must be like the public hailing for the success. No sweat means no success and no victory. Only the good will of defending oneself (the possession of the ball') in the confrontation with people with another goal can give the success called real and the shower called deserved. Not wanting the shower is simply a dirty game to oneself. This also reminds of what is traditionally called the class-struggle: the different statusorientation-groups (pict.) may play their own games that can only count for being a victory if they manage a confrontation with another group. The sweat thus obtained may not be feared though since in the real game of 'dutch' soccer the parties are not fixed but randomly chosen irrespective of the statusorientation of the selected. Maybe the uniformity of a team will be more successful according to statusorientation, maybe a mix is more successful. Time will tell what will rule when. Sweat as such means one does not fear as long as one remembers the goal of the soul one is going for. In such a game of society as well as the individual (statusorientation) as the spirit of teamwork is promoted. The colors of the teams might be expressed by the bands and shirts of red and blue (having the referee in white) while the individual may clothe in football-garments in the color of his statusorientation (pict.). 

 

           k) Take precautions.

The usual way to take precautions is to test and try in training and education. Therefore one precaution is not to let any junior or aspirant member of the order dominate, settle or determine the game. At least a first initiation in life, the mature age, recognized commitment, confessed status (pict.), acknowledged by age, diploma, special deserve or award (a 'silver star') should be before the status (pict.) of independence can be supported (pict.). Only from independent people, matured to the filognosy of the order, a responsible attitude can be expected. They can stand for their own commitment and identity and be a worthy member of a party of cooperation. To learn patience is the most important precaution. It is the truth of man proposing and God disposing. Of course any group of youngsters may play a game of 'dutch' soccer to themselves but to the parallel in society that just might take the time of one's life to attain.

Precautions are there to prevent the loss of control. Thus a schedule of activity should be accepted regulating the need for proper education, progress, identity, alignment, bondage and independence through time. The stages of life should be respected as well as the daily routines needed to settle each culture to its own. Also a game of sport to itself can be regarded as a precaution: it prevents people from alienation from the real structure of society and the nature of playing itself. One should, by the game realize that the whole of life is a game to which there are many complexities of interaction with the 'audience' or 'public' and the opposing parties still keeping an individual identity of one's own. 

 

           l) Love thy opponent.

People play different games. The most popular game is not necessarily the best though. Thus we have competition between different games and within the game itself. An integer game is a game uncorrupted. Corruption means things going bad because of taking money etc. A game that leads to moral debasement is a bad game. Corrupted one loses quality and character because of missing the principles. To have a proper game that is in support of character and quality regulative principles are needed. This leads to the basic notion of the eternal values. Once having the game right along these lines opposition can be the love of your life (pict.).

To have the game in order there must be sanctioning to the basic values. People in respect of the order should be rewarded while offenses should be penalized. A game representing eternal values, quality and character cannot do without sanctions. Playing the ball is, with the example of 'dutch soccer' rewarded, but only team wise and out of one's own defense-area. Scoring to one's goal is itself not rewarded while scoring to the goal of the other party is regarded as playing out of the field and penalized by replacement. The ball may not be played by the hands and playing out or scoring the ball by the body of someone else will be regarded as if played by the last person that touched the ball. Therefore to score a goal does not count when an opponent touched the ball. In the defense area the opponent may touch the ball. There is no fixed keeper: all players can be a keeper and even toss one another the ball within the defense-area. This also results in the fact that kicking the ball out of the field by the body of an opponent will result in kicking that opponent out of the field. Thus the game can be rough too. Since one is playing on time the team that has the longest time can score as much as they want and finish the game to secure their victory. This guarantees the motivation to score goals. On the other hand the losing team can only be motivated to win time in controlling the ball without scoring as scoring would secure the victory of the opponent.

In the parallel with real life playing by the hands would equal constructive, fruitive activity: to make, to potter. The defense area would equal the private sphere where no opponent can disturb the tossing of the ball to train one another or the children. Kicking someone out of the field would equal accusation, framing, projecting abusing and such. Being on the reservebench would equal unemployment. Managing society to the terms of 'dutch soccer' would mean that everybody would keep fit in social security ready to replace anyone being accused, scapegoated, abused or otherwise victimized. Playing the ball out of the field would equal being unresponsive without losing the ball for the team. Not being obliged to respond one is free to withdraw in the reserve position confiding that sooner or later replacement by turn is needed: the ball is not lost, just the player is replaced. The ball itself would be a commitment of work: a contract, an agreement, a project, a proposition etc. This all means that essential to a good society would be the ability to keep work going on by keeping agreements, making new appointments, setting the time for scoring goals, settling policies of management etc. A sick society would be either seriously unresponsive(as e.g. during holidays), playing the ball out of the game, or be unable to agree about work by not being able to keep the ball within a team or recognize the capacities of the team. A sick society or bad team can be recognized by the lust to kick others out of the game (thus losing the ball for the team), indiscriminately wanting to score to the goal of the other (to drop oneself out of the scene pushing others in defense) or stay within the sphere of private interest (overly defensive not playing the game at all by disqualifying the opponent). To love thy opponent means to play the game to its full capacity engaging all possible players. 

 

           m) Invite for a game.

To invite for a game first one must agree about who would be in the reserve, who would play and what strategy or ball one would like to play. First the team may agree about this or correct the strategy later on stopping the game holding the ball in one's own area. To the preparation of a game the first initiative is to get a ball; to take an initiative for action. Then one must find the suitable partners or team and then one must agree about the strategy or return to the drawing-board for another ball or team more willing to the proposition of a game. Once there is agreement about the ball and the strategy of the game, the opponent must be invited to join and counter the ball to another goal and answer to the strategy. To have a fair game a referee is needed to decide about the sanctions and respect the times taken for playing to decide who has won after the scoring of ten goals or decide on breaking the game after maximally eight hours of playing.

To compare to the greater game of society each person may set a goal with other people: e.g. to have a theaterproduction. If the company would still exist after ten productions one may say the game is finished to the concept of attaining to a strategy and type of ball. To invite the opponent would be to advertise to attract an audience that on themselves also might be a community of people managing to their own material goals of producing and managing. If those ten theater productions would last with the same company in the same community, it would be to the sweet Lord of Time, the referee, to decide who would have won the game on scoring to the concept of real public playing time. Thus seen to invite to a game is not the same as leaving the private sphere to go the theater e.g.. To have it the same also an agreement of work to that outgoing attitude is needed. Winning the game would be recognition for the team inviting or the team invited: to the theater e.g. people can amount to recognize each other socializing or to recognize that a certain company performing would be of a more significant social continence.  

 

           n) Play outdoors as much as possible.

This rule pertains to the difference between having fun and playing in the private sphere and being seriously engaged in a social game of strife about the favor of the Lord of Time who would keep our soul to our preferred way of serving the 'good cause'. Thus seen having a school of science, a political party or a religion around the historic reality of a manifest Lordship would all belong to the private sphere of practicing skill, training in morality and planning for goals and strategies in preparation. The real thing is in fact the totality of the outdoors society willing to accept the confrontation of the different matured philosophies, strategies and goal-orientations. The familiar illusion that this or that religion, philosophy or scientific approach would win and dominate the world is hereby debunked: one can only say that temporarily this or that team has won, but that, since society only makes sense with the game of life confronting the parties, there will always be the winning of the game itself and not of any team ever on the long run. It is important to remember that teams in 'dutch soccer' are formed for the sake of one game only. One really must withdraw and form a new team after every game. To each age new religions, scientific paradigms and political strategies appear to prove that the old adaptations are in need of reform. Fighting to win the favor of the greater of society all have to share in the free association (pict.) of the outdoors society forming teams of whatever make-up. Although teams can fight each other no one can deny the necessity of the game itself. Losing the game all together is nothing but war and total destruction in the false belief that any option of teamwork could rule private unlimited forever or exist without playing the games of opposition in a fair and regulated confrontation. 

 

           o) Respect the rules and serve goodness.

To the greater of society the rules are quite clear: they are settled by law in agreement with religious, scientific and political considerations. Maybe mother nature is forgotten, but she will surely let mankind know and feel about the consequences of overpopulation, destruction of species, ecological failure or living in dangerous areas. To any sportsman this is not different: the rules of the game are known while forgetting the dear wife at home or the greater interest of society, the soul and the natural reality,will bear consequences. The game is not called cooking and cleaning. Nor is the game called sleeping and forgetting. Still a great part of life is filled with the interest of the private natural sphere. In fact the schizoid position of people moving between the two positions must be overcome. The game should include the natural interest, while the private sphere cannot be denied its political, scientific and religious reality. To the game as well as to the private interest one can have great passion or ignorant indolence. Decisive is the practice of attaining to and maintaining in the mode of goodness (pict.). To this one must rise above the lower levels of personal integrity being the sexual, powerful, social or emotional. To use one's head includes to speak up, develop insight and attain to the divine of selfrealization in everyday life (pict.). By means of the higher levels one attains to the pure goodness of God, the goal and divine of selfrealization. This isthe real center of command that no one can falsify as everyone is connected and controlled to it. To the mode of goodness only the realization that one has become a servant of the divine interest can contain. Any lower motive of the sexual, dominant, social or emotional kind will be tainted by the mode of passion which has anger for it's shadow and the mode of ignorance that is followewd by madness (pict.). Full continence in the mode of goodness with all knowledge, power, riches, beauty, austerity and fame (pict.) only the sweet Lord could accomplish. Once having accepted that as a normal profiteer of society one always has to go for that horizon of the ideal self never attaining it, goodness can be as a straight idea of servitude in devotion. Fostering jealousy, anger, possessiveness, lust, misconceptions and pride (pict.) though one will miss, being attached to the byproducts or opulence of the mode of goodness, the actual goal of selfrealization. For the goodness one has to work for the game of accepting the confrontation with an opposite. No escapism within any system will bring the goodness and peace human society is needing to survive with mother nature. Once the rules of the game are set the goodness of accepting winning and losing in a fair game can be. 

 

           p) Meditate before and after.

Not mystifying meditation is to view and consider thoughtfully, to contemplate. It means one has to fix one's eye on something and to think about it seriously according to a plan. Shortly meditation is serious consideration according to a plan. To give thought must precede actions as well as follow them. Without planning before and evaluation thereafter no selfcorrection is possible. Without selfcorrection things become fixed, dead and have to be given up. The complete of life and evolution is nothing but constant selfcorrection. It is how genes mutate and organisms work. Fixed one dies while adaptation to the changes of time will define the continence of being, the survival. Therefore no fixation on anything material will stand. Essentially one should be fixed on the soul in conscientious selfremembrance but since one is always identified with the body one feels fear: something will happen inside the spirit if really the conscientious and not the physical is the objective. The physical is in fact just the mean to the end of soulfulness. But the soul cannot be without the intelligence while it's spirit will direct the mind. Meditation gives mindfulness, that mind must be managed to a spirit and that spirit must accord with the soul through intelligence. If one of these steps is missed anxiety will ensue: one will serve the false self of the body, find the mind going negative missing the proper spirit and as a consequence will lose control over the drives of the body.

Many people think sport etc. would be just a matter of physical training: that is how one attains to control. But the reality and necessity of meditation prove differently: the body is ultimately controlled by the motives and reality of the soul. It is just like managing a computer: if the user commands against a program the computer will either do the wrong thing eventually ruining the program itself as a virus or will simply fail to execute. The human body is an organic computer not run digital, but trilogical (pict.) under natural command. To the duality of yes and no there will always be the uncertainty-factor of the alternative or shadow while the whole is subjected to the nature, order and matters of time. The uncertainty of the alternative will slow down to conscious prudent action known as the safeguard of intelligence once is learned that any option has to change by time.

The difference between prudence and fear is given by the motive to the goal one is heading for: material goals make fear while spiritual goals will give intelligence, consciousness and happiness after truthloving selfrealisation. Missing the purpose of the spirit one becomes unhappy, a liar and a possessive egoistic cheat. Serving the weakness one becomes a coward, traitor, and a blind addict or slave of financial speculation, killing without necessity, sex and intoxicants. The first is called heaven and the latter called hell. 

 

           q) Quit a game running bad.

Fixing oneself on the appearances of the world and giving thought to it in the remembrance of the soul, one soon will find out about good and bad: the bad will be paranoid seeing evil in others escaping from the conscientious and thus fall down, while the good will find trust seeing good in others being thoughtful to the spiritual plan. Young inexperienced countercultures often have to invent the wheel anew, just to discover what everybody knew already: experience is the best teacher. For instance the game of courting for a relationship is in the western world done in discotheques. But having lost control in the use of intoxicants everything ran into free sex, commercialism and the glorification of the ego. The postmodern situation is characterized by fear of sex and criminal corruption: the music is too loud and hectic and the intoxicant is no longer the legal alcohol but the illegal soft or hard-drug. The fear of sex is problematic: couples have difficulty to find intimacy as no slow music is played anymore. The criminal sphere of illegal intoxication makes paranoid while the danger of incurable venereal diseases ruins the trust in any possible sexpartner. It all becomes like an autistic masturbation to which never any intelligence can hold and all innocence of youth will be spoilt.

Growing older and wiser by experience one begins to expel the experience itself always being corrupt on the contemporal of a generationmotive. This is not at all was meant: it should not run into a generation conflict of hippies rejecting the next generation having that generation later on rejecting their own culture the same way. Instead a cross-generational liberation in a healthy love for sexual partnership, celebration of good and popular (dance)music being free from crime, mental illness and addiction was meant. Games running bad should be abandoned as bad company will ruin your life. But at the same time ideals should not be given up. After generational thesis and antithesis also synthesis will take place by nature. The good of the modern generations will be kept in the style of a e.g. 'straight edge'-mentality tuned down to a less fanatic level, while the soulful of the previous counterculture will offer a purified version of the same old thing. Thus the countercultural experience can be maintained for all people of all generations as a welcome expansion of the human potential: to our example - the ability to find liberation in dancing in freedom without any fear. 

 

           r) Play for the game and not for the gain.

To winning and losing with a game the most important to remember is not to lose the soul; not to give up the conscientious. Willing to win, while spoiling the spiritual one may gain material power or position still in fact having lost the essence. The losers are the one's grousing: corrupting one runs into the seduction of intoxication with a profitmotive spoiling the character with illicit practices. Therefore not the material outcome is decisive but the experience of the game itself: in fact the game of life never ends although it constantly changes form; e.g. this generation has to be afraid of sex, while the previous one could be overly positive about it. Both have in common the lack of good regulation or planning of formal liberation and culture. Essential to progress in this is the tuning down of the profit motive: money and such is really not that important once is known who one is dealing with and what the possibilities of spending and obtaining are. The quality of the player and the game is important, not so much the quantity of players or the profit it would give. From this the importance can be derived of upgrading the formal structure of society and thus reinforcing the qualities of the people involved. 

 

           s) Keep your strategy in respect.

Strategy is the result of experience: one has learned to exercise respect according certain principles. To the outer effect there are as many strategies as there are people: each has his own version of the idea of being human. This can be very confusing. To be yourself is a vague idea of keeping integrity to which there are no absolutes, laws or rules in general so it seems. But on closer study it must be said that to stay yourself is a value: it is a confession to continence. Continence seems to be the essence of the true teaching. It means that to oneself one should be loyal; not to be a lie to yourself, not to betray yourself. This is half of the eternal values: don't lie don't cheat for the sake of being true and clean. The other half of sharing and helping is a social notion. To the first notion of continence one can be egoistic since it is concerned with relating to oneself. But since no man is an island the social option cannot be denied. To this the first 'egodefeating' principle is the religiously common known principle of compassion. For the sake of compassion the other principle of sobriety, the willingness to share, is accepted. Thus realizing that the interest of the ego is just half of reality one cannot escape from the selfdefeating loveprinciples of compassion and non-possessiveness. It is not a command but a psychological reality no one escapes from. Love cannot be ordained individually, but collectively we cannot escape from sharing and helping without running into warfare. Individually one can run into mental illness failing in the psychological need to help oneself and share one's life. One may play the patient and enforce help from others sharing in sickness. Still the values are reinforced although not practiced to the ideal of selfrealisation. The mature option of independence can make it very difficult to sort out how we should share and help without patronizing and manipulating others into dependency. It is very easy to become a false authority claiming to be better than the one's in need. But to call the other a profiteer is unjust as everyone profits from the accomplishments of the forefathers. Gratitude naturally takes the form of helping and sharing: one feels guilty without being accused. Only on frustration of service and inability to share, problems arise. Thus unemployment and individualism are considered great threats in modern society.

Realizing the dynamic of Time and life as a whole keeping to a strategy gets another meaning: it then means to stick to the principles (pict.) of progress and not to look back. Without this unemployment cannot be recognized as another form of work nor can individualism be recognized as a stage of selfrealization. The delusion lies in the idea of being fixed in an unsolvable problem of unemployment and egoism. It is a matter of consciousness: one should drop out of the standardway of thinking and tune in to the alternative just to have a fresh look at exactly the same way of life. One can e.g. be a politician with a policy of one's own, but at the same time in another state of consciousness be a meditator committed to the interest of the Lord. The first option may show an unemployed individualist while the second option shows a considerate servant. The latter is the view of progress in selfrealization while the first belongs to the 'not-this' delusional state ofmaterial consciousness. A simple way to summarize this rule is to say that progress is from content and delusion from the identification with form. 

 

           t) Care for an impartial judge.

Caught in the duality of material opposition any sportive or professional competition runs into the risk of a 'not-this' realization of delusion. This state is generally unwanted, destructive and debilitating. One alienates, suffers loss and loses quality as a consequence of the 'not-this'-realization. The whole meaning of a spiritual concept of order is about defeating the illusions of the 'not-this'-type of consciousness. It is not to call the standardway delusional itself. It is from the lack of consciousness of the complementing and expanding alternative that delusion is born. The negative flippancy of knowing it as 'not-this' ruins all respect and progress making any goodness of standardsociety a nightmare of addiction, imprisonment and disease. Hating the rut, missing the grit one misses it not knowing what. That is misery. To get out of the old misery of 'football' that always knew suffering in delusions of opposition, the position of the referee is needed. The referee should not be fixed on counting offenses and goals, but should be the one deciding about time to judge the capacity to control. Thus the referee will be appreciated by the players who are in need of the positive sanctioning of their playing. The impartial judge should not be the God who is feared and hated as he would always punish the sinners. The impartial judge should be the fellow human being who can rise above the duality of the opposition and judge when the game is rightly of this or that person and team. The judge is impartial if he himself is not in opposition to the game itself which would be foul without him. The judge should merely judge and not suffer the delusions of the 'not-this'-game thinking he can control the players by means of chastising. The game is controlled by its rules and the rules are derived from natural reality the way God wanted it. A game that is constantly in need of a chastising authority is simply a bad game that is in need of revision. And this notion not only concerns english soccer. Also in e.g. the political field the impartial judge may appreciate the quality of a team to the endurance of its reign.  

 

           u) Do not fear a psychological game.

Especially concerning strategies there is a lot of psychology involved. The purpose of control is served best by fathoming the psychology of the game. Once the mechanisms of control are understood even loss can be a victory understanding that for instance age, statusorientation and experience are decisive to a victory. There is always some psychology going on in any game of life. Some games are set up just to challenge the ignorance of a certain psychology. For instance the will to win can be considered psychologically as a weakness only awarding losers with the satisfaction of a certain insight. Not knowing this people can be afraid of even playing the game: they suspect an evil genius manipulating them into dependency. With mental patients this can often be observed: the will to be independent completely perverted by the 'not-this' aversion runs into a chaos of selfrealisation where not even one's own mindimpressions are recognised as being imagination of authority in positive identification with the paternal. From the perversion of refutation people grouse and regress twisting the definitions of reality to concepts of rules and games that can never arise above the duality. Religiously the social derangement of the 'not-this' mind is called false prophecy, scientifically it is called imposing and politically it is called dictature. The true believer is always a devotee, the true scientist is always a rebel and the true politician is always a democrat. From this the ideal cultural person would be a democratic and devoted rebel: the mature person is always critical about the other authority, wouldn't need to impose himself either and leave the management to the democratic rule. The devotion would be to the free association of people following the alternatives of formalised and informal society liberated to this or that service of order or not.

After thousands of years a mature culture would not have to chew the chewed anew running into the same old type of war etc. Like a chess-computer defeating the worldchampion, science can form a program of management that is no one in particular anymore. The lead that is no one is the accumulation of our experience. Just like with computers, all that is needed is memory, high speed and a dynamic program of adaptation to time and circumstances. The psychology arises not recognising the authority or missing the filognosy, the love of knowledge. Taking the challenge of a psychological game the winner always has discovered the true authority being a devoted and democratic rebel. 

 

           v) Always remember to thank your opponent for the game.

It is a gentlemen's agreement to be in respect of the people who opposed in he game, whether they won really or just believe they have won. People who believe that they can lose or win to the reality of an eternal soul have forgotten that conscientious selfremembrance is not restricted to one's own body and thus cannot really be won or lost. The only thing unreal is death as to Time change is the fact of life. But still there should be gratitude for the body, the game, the society and the opponent in the game. Although form is not eternal, matter certainly is as eternal as the consciousness thereof. The only thing that counts is the continence of soul through the changes of time. The miracle is in the selfremembrance that continues over death. It defies material logic which declares it discontinuous. The miracle affirms the principles of love as they declare continuation of remembrance. Once having the ego settled without the falsehood and 'not-this'-realization of lies and deceit, love can be with all its sharing and caring. Following this it is possible and even mandatory etiquette to show respect after the game of the opposing ego has finished. Each game of sport and otherwise should be recognized as a doorway to the reality of human love. Without it the game of life wouldn't be worth playing and loss would be unbearable. How can you lose a game if all participants win love sharing and caring about it? Losing a game one should thank the opponent saying 'thank you for the game', knowing that the only real loss is the loss of the love for the game. A game is not bad because you lose it, it is bad because rules are missed. 

 

           w) Do not hate to be an outsider or beginner.

Another problem of all good sport is jealousy: beginners and outsiders can be that envious that the whole game is discarded or even perverted and debased to a form that is nothing but injustice. Mr.Muscle tries to win over Mr.Morality in a classical competition that is ultimately won by the moral majority as mere opposing force can only find peace in the forgetfulness of intoxication. The synthesis of muscle serving morality makes the godhead ruling the sports. All sport is in service of this godhead that is himself a mature devotee of democracy. The godhead religiously is always a devotee himself of the complete whole of God he can never cover completely. Therefore there is always classically a multitude of Gods or supreme selfrealizers who model for the beginners and outsiders. Righteous people love to see a good game as an outsider or realize that a lot has to be accomplished being a beginner. The fun usually is over once the game is under control: then one begins to think about a game of one's own as everything should evolve. From mastery to divinity is a big step though involving the whole of mankind. Even a thing as simple as a cooking recipe can change the whole world. Any small change in the habits of a human being will result in a complete change of that human being. If e.g. nobody would smoke cigarettes we would have a completely different type of social cohesion and collective selfrealization. Often people underestimate the impact and importance of their own contribution. Thus seen selfesteem and selfknowledge is very important. If a soul would reincarnate e.g. but would not catch up his or her former practices humanity would certainly lose an important capacity. This is also true for animals whose contribution to the joy of life is difficult to estimate. Being prudent as an outsider relative to e.g. animals or trees or as a beginner relative to e.g. other believers would save mankind a lot of misery. 

 

           x) Do not gamble on outcome.

This rule relates to the reality of the eternal principle of sobriety. Peace can only be with contentment: be happy with what you are and have, do not desire for anything more. Still evolution presses towards a higher, say more complicated, state. This seeming contradiction is understood from the need not to repress; the assertionrule that states that any defense of one's own interest may not go at the cost of others. Likewise evolution may not go at the cost of what existed before. From a developing fetus we learn that in man all the previous stages of evolution are still kept. From an amoeba we develop towards a fully adapted homo sapiens not stopping at being a fish or a reptile. In psychoanalysis the failure of sound evolution is known as repression while the spiritual stresses personal emancipation before a collective revolution. Economy stresses the idea of fair competition being social darwinism: although it does not regret repression and monopoly still the belief is that competition is needed to have the best service. The problem of economy specifically and mankind generally is as far as the value of sobriety or sharing is concerned, the tendency to gamble; speculate on the outcome. As explained before, in the delusion of material gain, the idea of winning is contained which is indicative for the reality of offense. The speculator does not defend but attack. He puts his money, energy and capacity in building castles in the air with the only possible real outcome of living the want for ever more. This defines desire before servitude and its shadow of aggression (war) before acceptance of service (peace). Therefore sobriety and its outcome of sharing is known as a basic principle or eternal value of the soul by means of which one avoids speculation and gambling (pict.). In contrast with the evasion of speculation for an outcome there is the speculation in favor of the soul: it defines intuition, inspiration, the sixth sense, metaphysical knowledge, the intelligence of compassion, he love of God and the wisdom of the holy spirit. Without this speculation nobody could fathom about his original nature. Striving for servitude the mission of selfrealisation is to uncover the authentic relationship, the eternal nature of the individual soul. Psychologists define it, not speculating about the possibility of reincarnation, as the identity formed in positive identification. 

 

           y) Identify with the honorable.

As identification is as well the problem as the solution, it is of greatest importance to give it due consideration. As a problem identification pertains to the falsity of permanence of the material form while for the positive religiously the honor of holiness, politically the honor of the becoming and scientifically the honor of the paternal is concerned. To this positive of identification the natural option should be added of the honor of natural self-evidence. To respect the complete whole in this the reality of the holy, becoming and selfevident paternal is the object of identification. Religiously one might call for the Lord, scientifically for the biological father and politically for the head of state. But from natural selfevidence one follows one's hate and love to follow or oppose from the personal to the impersonal. Although the personal is the way of learning in identification, the mature option always presses towards the impersonal norm and values of aligning to the invisible connecting soul of the soul: the supersoul religiously called God, scientifically called the true of time or ideal, true self and politically called the purpose of utopia.

Practically identification boils down to the idea of what would be holy, becoming, selfevident and paternal. Holiness follows from the value of cleanliness. Not just taken materially but also spiritually the spiritual pure is defined as holy as far as it is worthy of reverence. Since to the mature option no name can be betrayed one is for the sake of worldorder left to the impersonal object of reverence. In fact the clock must learn to represent the individual identity. God impersonally taken in the form of time can be and is venerated by means of clockwork. There is no sane person religious or not that would doubt the status of the clock as the director of the order of society. We simply cannot do without. Hence the before mentioned serious concern with alternatives of clockmanagement and a proposition for an improved design.

As for the becoming we are looking for the suitability of a good form which is also a religious definition. To the selfevidence of the natural option we would need no further explanation, shortly defining validation as a scientific it-is-as-it-(naturally)-is to which the discussion of which paternal option, would be solved by the value of freedom. The purpose is to have a free choice of timeawareness by means of an instrumental respect for alternatives. The impractical of natural chaos contrasted with a free choice of pragmatic, religious, political or psychologically inspired paradigmata of timemanagement (pict.) would ultimately look like a computer-clock but be practically worked out by a simple indication on the existing calendar and alternative use of existing timepieces- and schemes as pictured in tables & designs. Those who call the love for an alternative as being neurotic may realize that their own confession to the comfort of standardtime can also be considered a compulsory neurosis. As long as the heart does not dominate the lower conditionings of the body to the ego of a group, the power of a position or the sexual of love, neurosis (the sickness of the nerve) is the reality

 

           z) Accept your loss and glory equanimous.

Equanimity is a great accomplishment. It is popularly known as 'being cool', not very concerned about the outer world or material effect: he who loses temper is the real loser. Psychologically it is one's composure with which the calm is kept. Winning is a relative thing and losing too. The soul is the mystery of continence that irrespective of the condition of the body continues to operate. A dead person or a loser (of life) can still be working in the heart of the others and a newborn baby can still be wanting to win the whole world showing a character that doesn't change for the rest of its life. Equanimity directly refers to the reality of God, Lordship, selfrealization, personal interest, soul and maturity. A young child can thus be more mature than an adult because of which we cannot have standard recipes of judging people.

An overly concern about gain and loss is proof of ignorance about the reality of the soul. One can be very disturbed possessed by this ignorance not being aware of the train of illusion one is on. Although good sport seems to be a matter of skill the reality is that a good game can only be with people who are familiar with the science of the soul. The game of life is complex and nobody knows all the rules but certain is that it must be clear who, where and when one is, to play a game of opposites. It is also a game to find out who, where and when the master of the game is. Tobe equanimous to the master is always the human problem going for opposition or not. To crash seems to be the inevitable consequence of life as no one can control the complete of the human game. A good sport may see no other choice than to laugh about the missers in the comic-book of life. Some day everybody will be finished crying about spoilt milk. To see the game means not to take life too serious also.
