Philosophical Demiprism [beta]
Last update – 2/8/2006
Firstly – and most importantly – your self-image is your most important mental faculty; it is one of the most abused things you will ever have. Your self-image is the roll that you play in life. Your self-image is also the way you judge your own value as an individual organism. Demiprism is all about reclaiming and properly structuring your self-image. “The Dominator†wants your self-image to suite his own desire; hierarchies lead to victimization.
Expectation is one of the prime sources of human emotion/will.
Before you read this, please note the ways of the imbalanced critic:
The imbalanced critic will take something that is said, miss-apply it, and then claim that the original writer meant for the same miss-application [which is always untrue]. Imbalanced, non-insightful application of information is one of the oldest and most childish forms of argument that I have ever seen; but I see it even present in adults all around me – very often.
During an argument or discussion, do we come to make the other look wrong?, to make ourselves look right? Or do we come into the argument to learn, and leave the argument when there is nothing of value to be found in that place?.. With that said, I just wanted to share a part of myself with others. (Strange how such a proposal could threaten some.)
The path:
The purpose of thought is to serve the body & should never harm the body.
Feeling is a form of information; this information requires insight to be fully understood.
Death is the only enemy; the worst confusions and imbalances are mere steps towards loss.
Existence is the maintenance of structure.
Progress should be pleasure and pleasure should be in progress; progress is growth & advancement of capability/understanding.
We must master our needs through either independence from them – or through proper satisfaction of them. Once needs are understood – & then mastered – we obtain true satisfaction and true happiness.
Many religions promote satisfaction through salvation methodologies; I would personally like to state – that I believe true health is true satisfaction. An understanding of physical health, mental health and “spiritual healthâ€.
[To me this sort of] Spiritual health means enlightenment about self & the universe; avoidance of supernatural beings, religious cults, occult & psychic connections. [I should probably call this “spiritual purity†instead of “spiritual healthâ€]
A few nice goals: (Demiprism’s code of values.)
-
- Always keep on becoming more powerful with mind and body. No one is equal. We should better ourselves for our own sake.
-
- Learn how to accurately predict the future. Your worst enemies are unknown and they do not wish to be seen.
-
- Do not hate others. Do not hurt or torture anyone. Stumble the one running towards evil. Kill those who only wish to harm and defile. Take away their power [and resources].
Life is often a battle – or a war. Anger and hate don’t really feel well or cause a sober mind; during our struggle, we might as well try to stay calm and balanced.
On earth, humans have institutionalized justice. “Justice†is the job of a “professional†and forms of ventilative justice are frowned upon in most societies; so the code of war shouldn’t even need to be applied to “civilized†species such as “human-kindâ€; but I like to keep this simple code of war in mind anyways.
-
- Teach children what love and honor really are – by giving love and honor to them. The small is potentially large and the weak are potentially strong. A gift to a child is a gift to the future.
We must build a caste for ourselves in the future, instead of building a tomb-stone for ourselves in the present.
There is a certain type of love – that ordinary people might not understand. When you feel it for someone else – due to only you understanding its depth – only you will feel it fully. You may even feel more good then the receiver of this positive, nurturing & beautiful will. Imagine what a child would know, if you only taught him/her this.
-
- Treat stupidity and imbalance like a bitter poison; expel it. Give it no value, even if many fools glorify it. [A prime example is the supposed “glory†of war.]
-
- Defy and rebel against everything that is controlling you; escape from it or master it. Do not worship even the greatest god, but instead learn from it and work towards becoming this god’s equal [or superior & friend].
The Demiprist knows only one feeling when he sees evil… pure, bitterly-passionate, undeniable, furious, defiance! You must be willing to hold onto something… something that is fragile, pure and precious… even if all life on your current planet wanted to smash this one precious thing. This one thing can be… the truth, a loved one – or even your own life.
-
- Speak of what is inside of you instead of feeding others what only they want you to say. No one has any right to control any body other then his own. [The only reason that anyone would have to control the body of the other is due to that incredibly moronic person not being able to even control himself.]
Once you stop hiding your body, your feelings and your thoughts – you will see how many enemies you really have; you will then feel the full force of “The-Dominatorâ€.
The ‘people’ that seek to control you through brain washing and partial information – will not be responsible with your life. They will waste your time for their own unreasonable ‘cause’. Religion and patriotic servitude are often harmful and foolish.
-
- Help lift all life up to a state of independence. Never let anything drag you down with it – because better is it for one to die alone then it is for two to die together. Don’t throw away what you have; don’t waste time on fools.
-
- Sex [and ‘dating’] – like any other exchange/interaction – should be done out of empathy and understanding; without fear of the other; without any personal shame. The pure expression of two is all that it really is.
-
- Do not be afraid of getting or giving pain. Do not fear dieing or killing. Preserve the life of you [and your family/friends] at [nearly] any cost. The-Dominator teaches fear – and you must teach him how to die. Courage.
-
- Don’t bother doing things that you are going to apologize for. Don’t bother apologizing for what you must do. Regret is fear of the fools that do not know how to forgive. – Ignore them. No regrets. All of your own sins came from imbalance and lack of understanding. Once you fully understand your own weakness/error – you will soon have the power to undo your own sins forever; this is the cure. Destruction of the sinner is not a remedy, but a removal.
-
- Being beautiful wont stop you from thinking that you’re ugly. Being stupid cant stop you from thinking that you are smart. [So] Be as realistic as possible and don’t fear or hide your faults from anymore [but you must hide your weakness from your enemy]. Honesty.
-
- Truth and logic are absolute. (1 + 1 = 2); (2 + 3 = 5); Addition produces a logically perfect & predictable outcome. The same addition is done within the minds of intelligent beings. When a person learns many facts and seeks truth [for the sake of self and species] then each fact adds up to the [eventually complete and true] opinion – that is true reason. ‘People’ who claim that there is no truth – are actually simply expressing their own logical ineptitude as respects vast understanding.
‘Truth’ is only fact. Fact is real and exists. Good opinion is the healthy, productive or accurate application of known fact. Fact is understood by means of experience – and then by means of relative comparison.
What is truth? Truth is fact. Truth exists. When one builds a hammer, this hammer’s possible and actual existence is truth. From here on he can strike the head of a nail or the head of his brother. The truth is a tool; it can be a weapon or means of good work.
Truth is real.
-
- No matter what or where it is, it can always be better or worse, less or more; so do not judge it harshly. You have the right to feel nothing at all for “good” and “evil”.
Judgment is a distraction from learning.
There can be many words, for example:
Chaos, order, confusion, trust, good and evil.
Once we remove the word that describes these things – which is the label, and then the fear, the craving and the judgment – all that we are left with was the pure and simple truth. Why ever be drunk with miss understanding?
Pity:
When one sees suffering, pity causes this one to also feel the suffering. At first there was one who were suffering, but now there are two. Suffering is stressful; it weakens and imbalances. Your feeling the same suffering as another, at the same time, will not solve the problem; but it will merely make this problem even worst. Suffering & the cure for suffering are separate. Pity and charity are separate things in every way. Pity is a state of suffering, but charity is an act of giving help to the one that is suffering or in need. Pity should not be felt.
Pity and the unnecessary imagining of suffering/horror – causes the practitioner of this negative thought to synthesize suffering and shock within himself. There is already more then enough evil on earth; We had best not dream up more evil then there actually is, and we need not feel any part of it.
Mercy is good. but without pity, how could we take offense during an argument? This person who opposes us is not actually destroying our beliefs & is not destroying a part of us – they are expressing their own opinion, and if we do not feel or believe in what we know to be wrong – we will not be hurting ourselves with the world around us.
Sensationalism:
It has many forms, and it causes people to become partially mad, in that they wish for extremes and conflict to exist and touch their lives. These mundane thrill-seekers are fools.
Power:
Power is when the body controls the changes inside of itself and around itself. Power held by the body – or used by the body – should serve the body.
Godly fear:
Fear of God is even more toxic then fear of man, because man we understand, but God we do not know or see.
Judgment:
If one were to stand before another – and then feel ugly and lowly – would the brain have any right to call its own body ugly? Not at all, because they all must be one if they are to succeed.
If one were to claim great beauty existing within another, would he really have any right to say “this is truly beautiful!†if it were all going to later become ugly? No.
At present, one can try to be narrow and firm, but if he applies this to his plans for the distant future – he will always fail.
Focus on a solution is what brings a solution. Focus on the problem brings fear, hate and self-pity. Judging that one is a piece of meat does not solve the problem of hunger. Judgment of evil should be like spring watter; it should be pure; it should flow easily; it should be able to quickly freeze, evaporate, or change its shape to suite its environment. Judgment does not need to be “done†– because it naturally arises it its most gentle and pure form once the judge has learned and understood the depth and width of the topic. Be willing to drop your opinion the instant that you find a truth, whether your previous opinion was right or not – should not stop the new found truth.
The-Dominator:
The-Dominator is the Lord that you must obey, and the Lord that neglects and “tests†you; allows you to die any kind of painful death.
The-Dominator is the cigar that you can’t put down, and the bong that you can’t stop buying.
The-Dominator is the one that says men are wimps when they cry, and the one that says women are not strong/smart enough to do one thing or another in society.
The-Dominator is the one who makes you shut up when you want to talk, and the one who makes you hide when you want to be seen and accepted.
The-Dominator is the one that stops you from getting up, and holds you down when you fall.
The-Dominator is the one who stops you from telling her how you really feel; it is the one that makes you feel stupid and ashamed. Uneasy and out-of-place.
The-Dominator is the mass of people who believe in the lie, and they will never shut up; as soon as they can speak to you they will tell you to believe their lies.
The-Dominator is the one that stops you from being satisfied with your life and what you already have – as it shows you what it tells you to want.
The-Dominator tells you that you are wrong, and commands you.
The-Dominator is the oppressive external forces that do not love or understand us. The-Dominator is far-too systematic; we can hardly talk to it or change it. The-Dominator is the burden that is placed upon us when we wanted to run towards what was truly right in life.
A few expressions:
1
Life only has one dept to pay: keep living.
2
If it’s healthy, do it!
3
If I must not have the truth, then why am I even alive?
If I must deny what is true, then how can I have any sort of view – then feel that I am right? Without fear, how can the truth hurt me? Without expectation, how can I be let down?
The truth cannot hurt you, but fear can even kill you.
4
Putting out a fire with water – is not as good as instantly stopping the fire’s oxygen supply. Hope alone should not be used to combat fear and feelings of doom; there is a better way. We must stop believing in fear and we must stop believing in doom – even though we fully know the facts & have a sober mind. Balanced emotion is the best emotion.
5
Pulling your emotions to their center and balance, does not require one emotion’s opposite to strike against it. There is a way of life that is above the oxymoronic cause-and-effect that we monotonously live by. It may bind our body, but it does not have to bind our mind. Once you are balanced enough, and are true to yourself, you will need less proof/evidence before you come to the right conclusion; fools may never come to the right conclusion, no matter how much evidence they experience.
There is a way that no word will suite; it is; we must be true to our whole, entire self.
6
Unity… is a wide, windy field – with yellow grass far around. In this field: I look with my two eyes, and see two eyes looking back at me. Two beautiful eyes. We are both alive. We are brothers. What tends to stop unity – is the illusion of competition, because of our barbaric, darwinist roots. Clashes and environmental stress formed our powers and killed all of the weak ones around us, but we are in a position and time on earth, here and now, in which we can look back at our passed, and say but one word. “Noâ€.
7
Balance – turns emptiness – into a calm and peaceful flow, that sounds like a river; it has never been heard, it is only felt.
8
If I had good reason to trust my world, then I would also have good reason not to have fear of damage and loss. What is love other then merely something that is both alive and that you can trust?
9
A flower is beautiful in color & a sky is beautiful in greatness, but a true friend is beautiful in an indescribable way.
I don’t ask you to trust me and I don’t ask you to believe what I said. All I ask is that you remember it.
Good day~
hmm seems very interesting Dan, but are you trying to bring in a new philosophical system? or does your philosophy relate and based on a particular field? Such as ethics? Because a lot of your philosophy deals with how one should live, and last time i checked that was under the juristiction of ethics. So is this a new type of ethical philosophy you are proposing? Like utilitarianism and Categorical Imparative? Well if so, then =D> , seems like you put in a lot of effort, although i’m still not leaving my Platonic thinking, this seems to be unique (not that i read a lot anyway), oh and finally i was wondering what firstly sparked you to develop this idea, and were there any catalyst philosophers that helped to develop/inspire your thinking?
