Month: November 2015

The raison d’etre of the mind is to solve problems.  This means that where no actual problems exist, it will create them, if not curbed through body wisdom.

And to the extent we identify our selves with the mind, to the extent we have ego investment in the mind, our problems come to identify and define us.  We are our problems.  We are our ontological angst, magnified daily by our readings and recurring assumptions about what life “is”.

All of our psychological problems exist within us, and they exist in the  form of recurring failures of psychic energy to flow freely.  The Tibetans seem to more or less conflate all psychological dysfunction as “Kun Zhi”, which means “all ground.”  All ground is no air, no motion, no moving.  Being stuck.

As I meditate more deeply I can feel primitive emotions loosen in the warmth of attention and come free, like a tree branch stuck on a rock in a river coming free.

One of the attributes of getting through Kun Zhi–and I am referencing Kum Nye theory here–is letting go of one identity–that of our problems–before the new one can emerge.  It is a period of confusion and doubt, but absolutely necessary.

And I can see one me walking out a door, and a new me–a realer me, who I have secretly known all my life–walking in.

And what I realize about myself is that my obsession with problem solving–which you can see littered all over the internet–has been really a sort of displacement to avoid feeling feelings that I am finally getting to.

I just ordered a book on attachment disorders from early childhood trauma.  It looked quite interesting.  I may not need it for me if this progress continues, but as I have said often, I think early childhood trauma is much more common than people suppose.

It feels to me like compassion is the last of the virtues to go.  It is an easy virtue, because it simply means, for most people. allowing people to do what they were going to do anyway.  It is a virtue which requires no work, no thought, no effort.

I have said before that tolerance is only a virtue if you are capable of judgement.  Compassion is the virtue of those incapable of judgement, and thus incapable of an actually moral tolerance.

Many complacent Europeans assume that compassion compels them to allow the current Muslim invasion.  Why?

When you apply actual energy to compassion, when you put thought into it, you realize that many people are involved in all situations.  In Germany, can they not feel compassion for their children, and their children?  Can they not feel compassion for the women of Germany, knowing that the Muslim invaders do not think women are full human beings, and that infidel women can and should be exposed to every atrocity possible?

Compassion without judgement is the moral sentiment of the decadent, who I have chosen to term Sybaritic Leftists.  Sooner or later they find themselves siding with evil. This is the inevitable consequence of abandoning culture, reason, decency, and the ability to think.
