Giving
Meaning to Substantiality
Wishful thinking assumes every mental state will express its
nature in body, mind and character, and concludes that we can,
through the intelligent use of mental action, cause the body to become
more
beautiful, the mind more
brilliant, character more powerful and the soul-life more
ideal. One is told that there are many
laws to apply (and pay for the bestsellers) in beginning a
great life, and that the bottom line is the law of
love: Love is to determines what we are to think, what
we are to work for, where we are to go to, and what we are to accomplish.
Therefore, is essential, to know
how to love. However, this is magic; loving irrespective of what it is you
love, to make it what you want it to be! This way you are told to be the
thinker of your thoughts and as such the
maker of yourself and your world.
Thought is supposed to be causal and creative, and
appears in your character and life in the form of
results.
A man thinks, and his life appears. That is the rhetoric to get rid of
God, who is in fact YOUR Creator. But
time will tell, who is right and prevails...
 I
am not offering you such tricks to increase your short-term
manipulative power. I can only point to the long-term necessity of
Timely
Exchange of Project-Orientated Competence.
What matters for us and our environment is the potential consequences of giving meaning to our
substantiality. Due to the lack of an adequate English word we shall refer to the more
appropriate German word "Wirklichkeit"
to
point to the substantiality of the inner world of experience of people, or
the laws of nature needed to be understood. From this point of view
emotionality is an expression of the discrepancies between
the
sense of reality in terms of truth, and Wirklichkeit, in terms of certainty.
Please note that there cannot be any truth in any
objective sense about our inner experience because there is nobody to share it with us
(except God)! But we can nevertheless be honest about the degree of certainty we
experience ourselves about it in terms of its future relevance. Whoever stops trying to
imagine a thus meaningful world and simply expects the end of history, provokes
incredible suffering, and whoever attempts to bring history to its end must be prepared for
incredible cruelties. The approach taken here, even in view of opposition, is aimed at applying
oneself personally in view of what has,
scientifically (reproducible by
people with good will to follow hints and proofs) speaking, a
long-term meaning in a creation which can be
understood and mapped to the degree we really need to do it for lifefulfillment.
The sad fact is, that German is one of the few languages that
allows a denotational discernment between "Realität/reality" and
"Wirklichkeit" as outlined here. However, the intellectuals have managed
by now to
confuse this too by having them declared as synonyms in most dictionaries. I consider this a crime towards humanity with
incredible consequences. In his book "The Open Society and Its Enemies: The Spell of Plato",
Karl Popper, German being his mother tongue,
struggles in vain through the resulting mental confusion of clogging together these two
entirely different concepts. Similarly you and I are also clogged together under the tag
"human", which does justice to neither. In connection with the
Literature Nobel Prize
1998 the scribe honored was said to be able to make the dissolving
"Wirklichkeit" tangible ("ihm gelang es die entfliehende Wirklichkeit
greifbar zu machen..."). Those who have ears to hear, understand what
a horrendous mental monstrosity such statements are; they have similar effects on the
mental operating system of humanity as a computer virus has on an organization! |
