Part 3. The BOOK of the books

19. The annual 3% growth of the gross national product and the agreement about the environment

Do you think, that the growth of the gross national product is a good thing?
Do you think that it is the main point in economics?
Yes I think so too!
Do you think, that the course books are full of studies about the growth and development?
I think that you do!

But you are mistaken there, usually there isn’t a word about it. On a contrary the books are full of studies about the things that are harming or disturbing the growth: inflation, devaluation, unemployment, disturbances in the demand and supply side of production, and so on. So the growth has to be important.

The theme of growth is kind of secret. It is unconsciously important. As you have read so far, you know, why it is so important in the human life. We all think, that we are already good and/or we have already much, but we want to be more and/or have to have more. Main thing is simply more money. Remember the circle of the witch. Whit money we can buy goods and services and then be happy.

If you take the growth of the gross national product into consideration, the second main point is, that it has always grown. There may be some lapses, but generally it grows and grows. Could there be some unknown organization that has a program that says, that the organization must do everything to growth. Or what is the reason of the growth?

The sciences is made by the human beings. And it is reflecting the thoughts of the human beings. If the human beings have the same unconscious agenda in their behavior, it is seen concretely in the works of the human beings. The science is not an exception. All the works a human being does belong to the methods of the human operation system of the thoughts. If you look the things with telescope or with microscope, you see only those things, that you are capable to see through your thinking. So the sciences doesn’t help us to reach the Final Goal, because that is none sense to the thoughts.

Do I want to better the world? No! The world is as it should be, when the thought is the master of things and the directions. To me there is no good or bad. The things are as they should be, when the human being is as he is.

The only thing I want to do is to show, that there is a possibility and the people don’t have to suffer silently. A Finnish caricaturist, Kari Suomalainen made it very clear. He said in one of his drawings: ”If the people are jumping down from a high cliff, don’t go to stop them. They run over you. Instead of that build a kiosk where you can sell the tickets for the jumping of the cliff. The teaching is: You cannot fight against the stupidity! You can only profit of it!”

I saw a heading of an article in a Finnish news paper: Helsingin Sanomat, December, Friday the 15. in year 2000. The article was written by the program director in the program that studies the global changes,  FIGURE (http://figure.utu.fi) and also a researcher in the University of Turku. The heading of the article was: ”The demand of the continues growth will reduce the impact of the climate program”.

The article stopped me, because I saw there for the first time someone telling, that development and the climate program are contradictory.  As you know I ’hate’ the words growth and development. I see them as the director of the human life, the most dangerous ’diseases’ there is. The main reason is, that they don’t deliver the goods, the Sufficiency and the second reason is that the ’disease’ is unconscious. We cannot do nothing about it until we became conscious.

A story from my studies at the University of Tampere and after: The article was very close my main subject at the university. I maid the whole degree, but the last study. I got so long without understanding a thing of the subject, national economics. A long time went and I thought all the time, that I was stupid and/or lazy. Until a few years ago I realized, that the easiest way to attack the science is through the national economics. And may be I unconsciously was rejecting the subject. There was and still is something very wrong in economics.

The story goes on ... In the national economics there are text elements and mathematics or statistics, rising and falling lines and curves. The main material into the studies come from the past facts. The numbers are maid into models and with them you can predict. ”If the past behavior was so and so, then the future will look like this!”

The story goes on ... In one time after many years, I thought to make my final study. I began to think about the subject. I thought, that I study the growth. I thought, that it is the biggest thing in the theory of national economics. I was searching the literature. There was not one to mention. I looked through my old course books. Nothing! I continued to question my intelligence.  There is something wrong in the ’picture’. And it has to be me.

Nowadays I like to think, that I am not very clever or intelligent. But it doesn’t bother me, cause I think that I am Wise. It doesn’t grow. It either is or isn’t. But back to the business.

Abraham Maslow gave me some hope. He told in one of his books, that the science is only looking the life of a stump people. All the living human beings are the stump people. The science of the stump people is interested in one thing, why it is not going so good, what is wrong. And trying to correct it.

Do you remember the line I ask you to visualize a few pages ago? There was a line. And in the middle there was the ±0-point. The left side of the line was called dissatisfaction or bad and the right side for satisfaction or good. Now Maslow is telling, that the sciences are interested only in the left side. How things could go little better. How problems could be solved. The sciences are interested in only about the life on the stump people. They are not interested in the Goodness or the Final Good. They have nothing to do with the Sufficiency or Satisfaction side of the line.

One other way to use the line: The workers were unsatisfied about he conditions in the eating arrangements. The firm corrected the problem and waited that now the workers would be satisfied. They were not satisfied. They were in the ±0-point. They were no more dissatisfied. They were on the neutral position.

Another way: A tourist or a client gets, what he expects. Is he happy, satisfied. No he is in the ±0-position. I tell more about this later. And the question then is, what makes the positive feeling of satisfaction.

So the sciences cannot answer question about the Goodness. They have not even reached the ±0-point.

The action I have been describing is natural. The motto of the people is: ”I am already good, I want to be better!” This is also the motto of the scientists, because they are also human beings. So it is natural that their main concern is in the negative side of the line. How to get the things going a little bit better.

And the most remarkable thing in economics is, that there is no behavior of the human beings in the theories. There is no human beings in the backside of the economics. Well they could say, that the behavioral science gives the explanations for that region, but I have my own doubts about them. I think, that the behavioral science doesn’t know anything about the deep roots of the human behavior, the subjects I am been discussing in this Book of the books. And because of that they simply don’t anything about the behavior

In short: The growth in economics is the unconscious king of it all. The growth is most important singular thing. As big of a thing it might be, there isn’t any significant words about growth in the course books. There is no arguments why it is so important. There is no argument why it is unconsciously excepted.

Why’s that? You know, that an ordinary person cannot look for ones problems and the negative side of me. That is the way a human being is behaving. The scientists are human beings and they are slaves of the same limitations. In short the reason is, that people are insufficient.

Your can see for yourself, who important and unconscious the driving after the development and the growth is. Take a look at the words in the Star Wars Episode 1 movie: ”As certain than the sun rises is, that the growth (development) continues!” We life our life unconsciously that way.

 

20. The development of the fear

I have written a little bit longer story about the fear in my 1985 study. You can look it up from my home page.

At first I look the fear as a psychological process. The me of the person is in the central of the things again. After a short story about the me, I borrow some former writings of mine from the history of fear in human life.

The fear is always connected to time. It is like a negative hope. Also the cause of the fear is in the future. How a person knows to be afraid? He has to have knowledge about the situation that are frightening. He is in a situation and he has some memories, that suit into the situation. That labels the situation.

We are not afraid Now, Now… The thing we are afraid of is not now, but in the near future. So we imagine the situation to be dangerous. We anticipate something. So the dangerous thing is always in the future. It can happen, that our fear was unnecessary. The thing we expected didn’t happen. The behavior was necessary, because it kept us alive.

I talk about Dr. Penfield more later, but I tell already now few things. Penfield studied the human brains. He operated the patient’s brains, when he was in the local anesthesia. The patient was awake and the doctor irritated the surface of the brains with electricity. That bought into the memory of the patient one event and the feeling that accompanied the event. These things were always together.

The most striking thing was for me, that the patient was on the operation table, but he forget it completely and lived to past event and felt the past feelings. He woke up and was surprised to find himself from the table. So he forget the present. The repetition of the past filled the place of Now. And he thought, it happened in present time. I have been talking about the loosing the time and place and thinking in former parts of my book. It was an Absolute Experience. The person lived Now; Now; Now… This example is little bit different, but still the past fills the present and also the Now. But now it is filled with some stereotype feelings of the past and all happens like now. I hope I make myself clear. You Perceive my meaning, when you start to think, how many different feelings of the past a person has to have in memory, when he is living over and over again only looking for the same old films and feeling the same old feelings. And if you keep on thinking, you are going to wonder, does it mean, that a person is not really living, but filling the place called Now with the repetitions.

The formula of the ordinary life is: We met unconsciously an irritation. The irritation is unconsciously processed. And we behave according the result. We live the past experience without knowing it.

To me it is not living. It is a waist of time. Imagine, that life is like a film full of windows or empty squares. We fill them one after another. Who many of the squares do you fill by living Now, Now… and who many by experiencing replay feelings. I think most of them are filled with replays. So you have to be carefully not to complain the waist of moment, because you are wasting your whole life.

What a person is afraid of? Many different things! But I don’t want to move into that direction. I don’t gain anything by doing so. Let’s take another direction. People are always afraid of that something happens to him, to his me. Even if the event is happening to another person and we are afraid because of that. We are afraid of something that is connected in the event to me. The same thing is when I grieve at a dead person. The sadness is because of me. We don’t grieve the other, but ourselves connected to some events with the dead person. We say, that we are selfish and it is a shame. But it is the most natural way to behave, when we are in the operation system of the thoughts.

Back to the development of the fear: What is in the core of the fear? Future, me and thinking. What is the worst thing, that we can imagine to happen to you? Before you answer, think a different kind of question. ”What is the worst thing, that we can imagine?” Away is the last part - ”to you”. Can we really imagine a general bad thing without me?

I think everybody answers, their own death or the death of children. Also the death is in the future. And we don’t know nothing about it. We fear the loss of the control of the thoughts in our death. Our own death or the death in general is the mother of all the fears. But in fear of the own death, there is no question about the actual, physical death. The real question is about the thought of death. The projection we make now from our death. So again there are all the central elements in play: thought, knowledge, future, Now, me, filling the now with thoughts and feeling, living Now, the physical death, the Big Death of me, and so on.

If I cut the explanation of the Big Death, here it comes, the Buddhists talk about the Big Death and compare it to the physical death, with is not so significant. The Big Death means the death of the me, the Absolute Knowing Oneself.

How the fears of human being have developed? It would be useful, if you use a moment thinking about you life. What do you do for living and how do you live: work home, family, cloths, house, food, security, government, religion and so on.

OK, is it right to say, that the human fears have developed? Before I show you the answer, let’s take some examples from the history of human being. We go though the development of the source of livelihood and the cultures. And keep in your mind, that in the development of the fear, there is no question of the growth of the feeling.

First we take the most primitive form of living, the group that collects it’s food. Let’s take to the story an African tribe called the Pygmies. Can you imagine, who they were living. Do you think it was very hard and they had a lot to be afraid of?  There was no certainty of the food. No stocks. No occupations. No houses nor permanent place to stay. They had not very much goods. They were poor. The weapons were also very primitive - a bow and arrows and a spears. Let’s see what is the truth!

Many of the things, that were mentioned are true - weapons, house, permanent place, occupations, stocks. But let’s take a fact after another into account. They used surprisingly little time for collecting food. It took only couple of hours. They know hundreds of eatable plants and animals. They didn’t need any storage facility, because every day could find enough food for that day.

They didn’t need the permanent shelter, because the climate was mild. They built a hut, if they needed one. Forest was their friend not the enemy. In the surrounding was nothing to be afraid of.

Because their daily word was easily done, they played a lot. They had time for children. They took good care of all the children. They sang and danced much. In their vocabulary there was now word to describe the war. Future was no threat to them. They were living at present moment.

Doesn’t it sound a dream not come true! They were not afraid of anything. Future was secure. There was no threat. They lived the place called Now, Now…

The people started to specialize. They started to hunt. Let’s take the Eskimos as an example. I say it bluntly, they feared a lot. The hunting was a gamble. Sometimes they succeeded sometimes not. When the later happened they were hungry or died. The animal could be dangerous. The climate was harsh. In the nature and in the animals there were many spirits. They had to be conciliated. They respected the hunted animals. The death of people was not very frightening matter. It was so usual thing in life. If there was not enough food and the survival of the family was in jeopardy, then the old folks could be left behind and they excepted it.

The Eskimos were living in the harsh environment. If we compare those people with the hunters in the more warmer climate, we notice, that the Eskimos were much less afraid about the environment than their colleges in the warmer climates. They know the dangers and could cope with them. Although because the climate was as it was, they thought, that there was spirits, that were angry for the persons and caused all changes in the climate.

At the same time we know, that the first hunters were half nomads The dead ones were left behind. So they were not afraid of the spirits of the dead ones, because their burial places were left behind. The fear for the future began to come into the surface more than with the collectors. The success of the hunting was not sure. There was many spirits to be conciliate. If they didn’t get the prey, it was because they had offended the spirits, which were now angry. As you see with the collectors, they didn’t have this kind of fear, because they always got from the nature what they needed for everyday life. The fear of the hunters came from the feeling of insecurity of the future.

The hunters had also stocks of food. There was the fear of loosing the stocks. They had to defend their rights for the food stocks and the hunting grounds against other hunter. Also those things brought more things to be afraid of. More insecurities and thought that were directed to the future.

A story about the Arabic culture: We in western word often wonder, how the Arabs treat the women. I thing that the Arabic men as well as the western counter parts like to think that the system comes from the Koran. I doubt it! I think it comes from the culture, from the history. The Arabs lived once in desert, in a very harsh environment.

Let’s play a game. You are living in the desert. You are the head of the family. You are living your prime time. You have a family: a wife and two children, one girl and one boy.

The story goes on ... Times get harder. It’s the question of the survival of the family. In what order you start to liquidate the members of the family. Take the situation seriously and think without feeling. The survival of the family is in your hands.

- First goes the mother. She has produced the children. You can take easily new wife.
- Second goes the daughter, because she is less useful. She marries to a different family and lives the original family. The boy could offer better the shelter for the father in old ages and also he could continue the family tradition or trade.
- Last goes the boy. Because if the father survives, he can marry again and have more boys and the daughters.

In a certain kind environment this is the only reasonable solution. I think even you would end up into the same solution.

The story goes on… I think, this is the historical background in the behavior of the Arabic man. They are still using in their life the same attitudes, that were necessary during former thousands of years. Look for the reason why the attitudes change so slowly in chapter 30. ”Values, attitudes and norms”. But if you want to know it now, here is the reason; the attitudes are transferred to the children from the parents at the age (20-25) when they themselves have not had enough time to search and to change them. So the attitudes are transferred almost unchanged through the generations.

If the parents later change their attitudes and values, the changed versions doesn’t have time to influence to the attitudes of the children. They have already had theirs from you. 

Last comment to the story : I heard awhile ago, that the main message in the Koran is ”Love Thy neighbor”. If it is true and first you have to love yourself and then thy neighbor and the God, Allah, then Islam is also an Universal Religion.

I also read from a book, that there is in the Koran a place, were it is said, that the father, if he want to go to Heaven, has to treat the girl child the same way he threats the boy child. So here in Heaven I don’t see no Arabic men!

P.s. I doubted once also the religion of the Jews. I do know about it as little as about the Islam, but I heard from a scholar, that the main message of their religion is the same than in Christianity, the two Commands of Love. So there is no difference between their and our religion. I don’t know how it is done, because they don’t believe in Jesus. And the Commands were the only teaching Jesus game to give. So here in Heaven is not many Christian people either. I haven’t seen many childlike persons and the Heaven or the Final Goal belongs them.

P.s.s. What the hell are those Arabs and Jews fighting with each other, when they Love so much Themselves and their neighbors. Or doesn’t it have nothing to do with their religion as they do it.

P.s.s.s. I heard after the Trade Tower business, that the holy war the Arabs are talking about, really is a war, that is fought inside one human being. The bad is inside the human being and the same person has to win it. The interpretation is wrong, because you don’t have to fight against the bad inside yourself. You only have to see it or the operation system of the thoughts.

Addition 03-17-2002: In Helsingin Sanomat there was today an article about Koran. The main message was, that Koran has come from the God. Every words have come from God. Then there was this sentences - in my own words: Koran is not the same way as the Bible written by human beings. Who wrote the Koran, Allah? What brilliant logic! To me the words in Koran are written by a human being, Muhammad and I think the same way than the Books of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The people have written those Books and the God or Allah has been dictating the words. That is the way I think is has gone.

I think, that it is the same, if the Books were written in 2000’s, because the system of the human thought has nothing to do with the Text. So in vain the scholars have been thinking about the men, that wrote the Books of Matthew, Mark and Luke, if they were living the same time as Jesus. If the God of Allah is in the picture, then the Text and the Words are from the System of Absolute and the only person, that can Perceive the Words has to be in the Final Goal. That’s way 99% of the interpretations are the interpretations of the thoughts and so false. The only interesting question is about the translation. What kind of persons the translators were?

Back to the development of the fear. The big leap in the development of fear happened when the human beings started to grow plants, started the agriculture. If I would like to describe the psychology of those people, I would say, that their life was full of the fear of the future: weather, pests, robbers, animals of the forests, the ghosts of the dead relatives that were buried nearby, the growth of the plants, the storage of the crop, is their skills enough, and so on. The fear developed in a jump. Now they were not afraid like the hunters of their immediate death, but of the death of starvation because the loose of the crop.

They had to own the land. They had to cultivate it and keep it in their ownership. The same was with the crop. There was the animals of the forest also to take in to the consideration. They could eat the crop. When the seeds were in the warehouse, there were the rats and the mouse. So you had to learn a lot and do the right things to have and keep. Also the weather was a thing to fear.

What about the forest? They were afraid of the animals and the forests. They didn’t know how to cope with them. They buried they dead ones near, to the corner of the fields. More fears. They had to bury the dead ones with the right ceremony. They had to conciliate their spirits, because who is good enough for their relatives, there is always something that was not said nor done.

So the main thing in their fears was the fear of the future. Why then they took the risk and the change? The answer is simple. Because of the surplus. One family could grow more than they needed. They could sell the surplus and buy other goods.

That way game the the division of the labor and the differentiation. The families of the farmers could support the king, the army, the priests, the government, the town and the workers there, and so on. All because of the surplus. The government was needed to keep the ownership, because the question of the ownership became the key, and the warehouses and the farming in running. With the surplus the farmers could keep alive the surplus persons, that were not directly productive.

Now we come to our time. What the ordinary person is afraid of? At first he was afraid of dyeing in the jaws of wild animals or in the wildness. Secondly he was afraid of the future and that it brings death. Now the people are still afraid of the future, but a little bit more complicated way. A little wile ago we were afraid, that we were not living as good as our neighbors. He wanted to own more and more. It was a question of the standard of living. That our standard of living was worse that our neighbor’s. And at last we are afraid, that our sense of self is less than our neighbor’s. Meaning that our me or self isn’t good enough. Can you explain it better, than to say that there is an everlasting insufficiency of the human being?

Then there are people like me, whose me is dead and who foolishly think, that he Knows Absolutely Himself. Because I know the fear, I’m not afraid, if I don’t give the operation system of the thoughts the power to lead. So we are coming nearer and nearer the time, when there broke out the fight between my kind of people of the ’New Thinking’ and those who are at the last stage of the development of the fear.

To day our world is the mixture of all the different kind of fears. Not in the same person, but in the society as a whole. Certain people are directly afraid of their death. Other are afraid of the future like the former farmers. Then there are a lot of people, who have not enough for goods and products and they want more, so they would not be afraid of themselves having to little. Then there are the people, who are on the last stage of the fear. They are afraid of that they are not good enough for themselves and others.

About the modern fear of death. In the questioners has often been this question: ”What are you afraid of?” The common answer to the question is: ”I’m not afraid of anything!” Why is it so common answer? Because the person is to supposed to say so.  If a person would say, that he is afraid of that and that, he, especially if he is a man,  would be a bad and weak human being. The people have no possibility to see themselves bad in the operation system of thoughts or in the operation system of relative good and bad (evil). I am afraid is bad for the me, the self. It is not ideal to be afraid. Only the losers are afraid!

A man took an insurance in the case of death. Why did he do that? Was he afraid of the death? No of course not! The ordinary explanation is, that the man is afraid of the family, that would be left behind. Let’s think that the man is very logical in the insurance business. He says:
• I am already death, when they divide the money. I have no gain in there.
• The insurance also doesn’t take away the risk of death.

• I take the insurance in the case of death, because I like to live now without any thoughts about the situation in the future! He wants to sip his bear with the boys, without any disturbing thoughts.

So it seem’s, that the fear has developed during past times. Now we have reached the final phase. The fear is always connected with the future. If there is no future or no thinking, there is not the fear. Or as you saw, with the Pygmies, they had the future, but it had no special significance, because they had food as much as they wanted and they got it easily. The only person, who has no fear is the person who Knows Absolutely Oneself, because he knows how to live Now, Now, Now… without the future.

The mother of the all future fears is our own death.

 

21. Thinking and the dichotomy of the thought (good vs. bad) and the relativity of the thought

An exercise: If you want to make an exercise and help yourself in the future, do this.

1. Write in a paper pares of words, that are opposite to each other, good vs. bad. The first word is the good one and the opposite word is the bad one. Make a lot of them. And you see how easy it is and how much of those pares of the words there is.
2. After that you could take the formula from the appendix and fill it: ”The profile of my qualities”.

The profile of my qualities is taken into consideration after awhile, but it could be good to fill now. In the chapter 23. ”How we can become as an Absolute Human Being according the form!” I use the form in a very interesting way. The form was represented to me in a course at the University of Joensuu in Savonlinna.

The relative thinking is the most remarkable property of the human being. It makes the human being. It separates us from the animals. The most simple explanation of it is, that our thoughts can understand the surrounding and things in there only by measuring and comparing it with the past measurements.

Let’s take an opposite view into the subject. ”What is at the same time both good and bad?” ”What is fast, without using the time or the measurement?” ”What is beautiful, without comparing it into another things?” Or the classic question in Zen: ”What kind of sound do you get, when you hit one hand together with it self?”

What do you think about the questions? You should think, that they are nonsense or crazy. They are simply stupid questions. Your thought is right. They are nonsense or none sense to the thoughts. The same situation is, when you ask yourself about God. The God is beyond your thoughts. It is the same, if you say that God is or you say God isn’t. They have the same value, they are worthless.

The correct answers to those questions: If the question is from the area of the Absolute Operation System, the answer has to be from the same system area. So it the question is None Sense, the answer must be None Sense. The answer could be for those questions - also to the question about the God: ”A screwdriver!” So now you can also go to the last examination of Zen and answer correctly.

Good for the thoughts is a thing, that is better than the past thing. The thought has now knowledge about Goodness, about Good in it self. True is also, that the past good is today bad. If it doesn’t turn into the bad, the past thing is at least insufficient. In principle I could say, that there exists only one major opposite pare - me vs. your or if you want to broaden the horizon there is also good vs. bad.

Here are some pares of the words, that are opposite to each other. I write them to you, if you didn’t do your exercise. When you read those pares do the following!

Work 1: Pick from the words the word, that describe best, what you are.
Work 2: Pick from the words the word, that is ideal to you

me - your
good - bad         right - wrong
satisfied - unsatisfied         happy - unhappy
sufficient - insufficient         moving - none moving
dignified - worthless         working - none working
lovable - none lovable         together - alone
known - unknown         fashionable - unfashionable       
harmonic - none harmonic         in peace - restless
knowledgeable, wise - stupid         civilized - none civilized
fast thinking - slow thinking         brave - coward
beautify - ugly         heaven - hell
life - death         rich - poor
peace - war         true - false
to govern - to submit to...         sensible - none sensible
ruler - subject          reasonable - unreasonable
objective - subjective         sane - crazy
none lazy - lazy    active - passive
strong - weak         creative - copier
popular - none popular         winner - loser
healthy - sick    more enjoyment - less fear
absolute - sinful         developed - none developed              
developing - declining         learned - unlearned    
lucky - unlucky         succeeding - not succeeding...

OK the work is done, what is the result? I think, if you are a human being, you picked the first word in both works. You want to be the person, that it described with the first word, but you are not enough of it.  Take some negative words and name them as the general good ones of as the ideal ones  in general for the human beings. How many of them did you found. I haven't found out but one, humble as an opposite of proud. It has to be a mistake. I explain it later!

Does this indicate, that the people are more same than different?  

The most important thing is, that the thinking process of all the people is relative and it is concentrating in the opposite pares of words.

In short: The relative thinking process is the most important thing there is in a human being. I have been using in my book the words ’the operation system of the thoughts’ instead of the relative thinking. That is the only thing, that differentiates the human beings from the animals. In the relative thinking there is always a question about measuring. The results we put in to our brain. And we use the result, when we compare. If you want to be sure, make an exercise. Think some thoughts and after that search through your thoughts, and you find to your surprise, that everything in your thoughts is comparisons. 

 

22. To succeed or not to succeed in life and most of all in the computer games - the benefit of the games

I take in between the main story an example from the ordinary life: to succeed vs. not to succeed, to fail - the feeling of success vs. the feeling of failure - meeting a problem vs. passing without seeing a problem.

How an ordinary person sees his life? I think his ideal life is a row of successes. In the youth he succeeds easily in things. He starts thinking, that succeeding is easy and this attitude goes through the life. In his early adult life, in education and in work he still succeeded in one try. The most frightening thing is to fail. Because if he fails, he is a bad person. So the normal (99%) person, don't want to fail and for that reason he doesn’t like problems, because they are the seeds of the failure.

All this things are unconscious. The person is like a hound dog, he is smelling the air. If there is a possibility for a failure, he takes another road. He doesn’t want to meet the problem. And that’s why he is always succeeding in life. But let’s forget that kind of an ordinary person.

A story about the child or youth that is playing with the computer, or with the video games: I think the general idea about those games are that they are useless or even dangerous for the children and for the community as whole. I will show you, that the real thing is a totally different.

What a person is normally afraid of? Is he afraid, that he is not good enough? Or if I turn the thought around, he is afraid, that he is a bad person? He is afraid that he fails.

What that means in life? What is the normal attitude against the problems? Does the normal person wants or likes problems in his life? Is he willing to meet problems? No, he is always running away from the areas of problems.

When the main program in the life is, that the person isn’t enough, then the problems are the worst he can thing of.

Probably he says, that he is not afraid of anything. He is the winner. He hasn’t any problems. In a way he is right. A person who doesn’t try his borders, has no problems. He makes sure about it, the way his leading his life.

Keep in your mind about the Total Creative person, that the problems are a challenge to him, because he Knows Himself. See chapter 24. ”The studies of Abraham Maslow - The king of Real Creativity”. The problem is then not the problem of the person, but the problem is outside him and a stimulating challenge.

I taught once the mathematics of commerce.  I had thought at the school and at the university, that I was lousy in mathematics. But when I got hang about it, I started to think about the psychology of the pupil, who was not learning the mathematics. Why certain people are so much against mathematics and why they don’t care much about who bad they are. The people seem to think, that ”To be bad in mathematics isn’t so bad, my parents didn’t understand a thing about counting. So I can be bad, because the reason is not mine, but it is in the genes. It isn’t nobody’s fault.

When a person is climbing the stares and is out of the breath, what does he do? He starts to exercise. ”My condition is bad, I want it to be better!” When the condition is bad in head, the same person, doesn’t start to exercise his brains, because it is what it is and will be forever. He is not guilty in his poor performance. The family is guilty and he cannot do anything about it.

I noticed, that the mathematics as I was teaching it was very simple. We took some examples and the ’tool box with the certain tools’. And used them to solve the problem. Take the tool A and turn the bolt B clockwise two turns. Then the pupils had to take the same tool A and turn the bolt B clockwise two turns. The problem was solved.

The most remarkable business was, that there was only one correct solution. Where in life is it so easy. Where in other school subjects, there is only one exactly correct answer? Nowhere! Look for instance the history. Is there only one correct answer? No way! 

Let’s take a little bit different point into the mathematics. The mathematics is only logic, pure logic. What about the life, is it also governed with logic? Of course the life without logic is a mess. That seems to be the destiny of the people, who cannot use the same logic in mathematics. Their relationships are a mess.

Attention: What becomes from the life of the people, who are governed with the operation system of the thoughts, which is their only operation system, when the people even cannot use it properly? Look from the window or from the mirror!

Well, of course it is not so simple, but it gives a good direction. Now we are back in the video or computer games.

In spring 2001 the carpet was drawn from under my feet. I went to see some laser printers. The results were formidable, wonderful. Connect the printer into the computer and the result is guarantied. Why it isn’t so in the reality? There is the question of the editing programs, Adobe PhotoShop, and so on. All the edition programs are difficult to use. You have to be a special kind of person to use them.

A friend came to visit me, this happened before the printer show. I was doing some home pages. He looked them and said, that even young boys can do the same. I was angry to him. He was gone and I thought, that his saying was right, but I didn’t get to point, what was there, that made it right. Not until I was at the show. Then I Perceived it! 

The two things game together. Why the young boys are so good with the editing programs? What makes them different from the older people and from my generation? They know how to fail. They are used to it. They have learned it while playing the video and computer games. They have had the feeling of failure one after another while playing until they have succeeded. The failure has been them only one necessary step for the success. And the goal have been to win in the game. The same is with the editing programs. They are like games. You have to prove and fail until you succeed.

The computer games makes a new generation of people. They don’t make their own prisons. They don’t have a limited world. They do and will do, what ever they like. They can meet the problems and they are not afraid of failure. They know that the failure is the only door to the success. The world is not the same after they have made their marks into the world.

We, the older generation are like the dinosaurs of the past. We are afraid of the problems and of the failure. So our options and our world is limited. We only want to be successful and our only fear is, that we are not enough for ourselves. We climb until we are so high, we meet the insufficiency. That is the end of our journey, we cannot climb anymore.

You should understand, that not all the young people are problem lovers and solvers. The rest are like the older people, they have no real change in life. They have domed themselves to the stump living.

In short: The world is full of people who are condemning the video and computer games. To me they are the ones, that make the difference in the future. The young people learn to except the feeling of failure and go over it and they succeed. There isn’t anything in the world they are afraid of. ”God bless the computer games!”

 

23. ”How we can become as an Absolute Human Being according to the form!”

What to do, if you haven’t done it already: Before we go on, you would be better look for the form in appendix -  ”The profile of my qualities”. Fill the form even in your mind, if you don’t want to use the pen.

Draw a line from the center to both sides or to one side, to the point were you think you are. The question is about averages. You think the average person and then what you are compared to him.

Now we go: Define to me the average person! I think the person, who has defined, that kind of words, should be locked in to a safe place.

Better would be, to say that imagine yourself into some group you belong or want to belong and then define you position in it.

When I filled the form… I was as a student in a course and the form was presented to us. I had a problem in filling. I asked seriously a question from the teacher: ”What shall I do with the filling? I see my self and my qualities to go from wall to wall - I am the most lazy person I know or then after a moment I am the most hard working person I know. How do I draw the line?” The teacher said: ”There is no absolute truth. Draw the line as you like it!”

The story goes on... My hair stood up and my skin went to gooseflesh. What a person is, if he goes from wall to wall. Well, in my mind he is an Absolute Person! More in the next chapter.
