Phoebes and Dionysuses
ОглавлениеEver since I began actively developing my consciousness in a magical vein (and Magic is, first and foremost, the development and expansion of one’s consciousness), I’ve been deeply interested in one question:
– Why are some simple concepts and behavior patterns completely normal and correct for some people, while for others they are simply unacceptable and immoral?…
And by what categories can these two completely opposite groups of people be classified?…
We’re talking about elementary concepts and their corollaries – behavior patterns.
Here are the most basic of them:
– «I joyfully say ’no’ to others in order to say ’yes’ to myself!»
– «I joyfully say ’no’ to others if it helps me preserve my resources for my own well-being!»
There are many such affirmations now, and almost all enlightened ones use them and recommend them to others. If they exist, they have a right to exist. I don’t argue.
But why is this unacceptable and immoral for me? Why do such affirmations repel me?
Why do I never refuse to help and assist people I love and respect, even to my own detriment? Why?
And certainly not because I’m stupid or weak, or because someone can influence my will.
No! It’s something else…
I couldn’t find an answer to this question for a long time – on what basis and as a result of what, do I choose to joyfully share my resources with people I value, love, and respect?
And what am I actually choosing in these moments of choice? What is the most important thing I keep for myself (don’t betray) and what do I give to others? After all, this is precisely the choice that the human conscious and subconscious mind (and the superconscious mind too) make nonstop, every second – «What to keep for myself and what to give away or share with others?»
