I now propose the idea that painful and destructive habits, used as corrections, may actually be beneficial to your system.
When into the money accumulation thing, riding on a high of winning, it is a good thing to loose some, which will deflate the swell caused by overconfidence
which accompanies it.
It is a good thing to loose some, even if it means
quieting down and living a life of humble penury, including quiet guilt ridden meditating upon the oft exhibited physiological pain, that oft accompanist loss.
Not the gross losses, ending in real tragedy, but the quiet loss, which changes the direction of the mind to more patience and the valuable experience of quiet suffering.
Sexual guilt over obsessive sensual behavior, also calls for occasional binges, thoughtless engagement in blow ups of sensuality, since it breaks open the doors of preception, so cluttered with taboos of all sorts, rusted and comlacent, routes to free energy transfer.
It is good to feel low often, when the conventional mind dictates the urge for a maintenance of a constant high.It is good then to depress yourself, the nervous system be king the call for minimum functioning, almost to the death, fakir like, placing the self into an almost hybernative state.
Then in these states of near absolute function, both mind and body, where only a faint sense of the slow beat of the heart is heard,when disparityng mounts to the maximum, is when the richness of the soul becomes manifest. The loss of the self becomes so full of pain here, that the soul rises, as a bubble toward some imaginable goal, in al of existence,
sand the universality of love replaces it.(the loss)
This goes for all controlled behavior, ; drink, dugs, gamblin, loneliness-for that too arises as a product of forces of habit, total dispair and fear.
It is better to periodically lift censure, and with abandon, reverse the effect and affect, and use this reversal as a means to achieve stasis, as would a vaccine, would to the body. A little horror, induced to set up memetic immunity, as a way of developing major antibodies.
Anyone having issues with guilt arising out of obsessive habits, may gain depth in dealing with them when major occurances become nearly unmanageable.
Any comments, pro or con?
