My knowledge about the fundamental nature of the human condition---the reality all of us face---is greatly advanced since my first book in 2003. With the addition of this book I have answered all but a few of my questions about Good and Evil and how to live in this world under the circumstances common to it. Citing the predominant problem of the world being the tribalist morality that most people subscribe to I offer an analysis of its essence and how to deal with it. I offer a new morality based on the facts of reality and show how to attain it. The ideas in all of my books represent nothing less than a revolution in the theory of what is considered ‘the Good’!
Civilization has never evolved past the ethics of tribalism and actually rules modern day man as it has all throughout the past. Across the world most of the teachings of morality in religion and philosophy revolve around the notion that self sacrifice for another is the highest good. Of course this isn’t what good is at all. Instead, the good is how the individual can live in accordance with his nature as man. His happiness depends on this and if these conditions are not met, then, he will suffer. They aren’t being met by the ‘old’ philosophies of tribalism and to prove my point just look around at the suffering and confusion that most people live in.
If you have become disillusioned by life and can discern that it is a result of what the people hold as good, I offer you a way out of your confusion and a way into your happiness.
I have known since a child that power trips were evil. Aged 3 years old, my brothers first used them on me and I knew immediately that the power trips were wrong. In defense of this I built a shell around myself and wouldn’t let anyone in. I carried on through childhood and into my adult life with my shell intact. I never power tripped anyone else and in general none power tripped me. I knew even at that early age of 3 that a system of guidance, a philosophy, was going to be necessary in order to live life.
Upon reaching adult life I searched for a philosophy that would explain things. I found Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism and studied it for some 13 years. That just wasn’t enough to help me live. I then turned toward New Age thought and came across God’s channeled books by Ceanne DeRohan. This did it for me—well that, and my own discoveries of most of the knowledge in my books that I reasoned out from my own resources and studiousness. I now know enough to live a happy life and that is exactly what I am doing. My books are a chronicle of my growing understanding over the past 5 years. They show just how I ‘got a life’ for anyone interested.
Embracing the will and the ethics of individualism
It’s no mystery to me that the will and ethics are closely related. In fact, the will killing ethics of tribalism effectively shuts down the will and its feelings; conversely, practicing the true ethics of individualism allows the will and its feelings to live.
It has always been the notion of not knowing how to live with the will’s emotions that has spawned the belief of thinking tribalism is true since tribalism kills the feelings....and, therefore ‘solves’ the problem of ‘what to do with them’. The only problem with this stand is that the feelings have to be accepted in order to ‘get it right’; since tribalism was embraced because it shut the feelings down, the practioners lived with mind only and denied the will. ‘The new age coming to the world’ will demand a way to live harmoniously with the will and this directly means that individual rights will have to be upheld no matter what. This has been, obviously, the thing that was lacking up till now because no one knew just how to do this, and that is why everyone chose the ethics of tribalism. We as a race have had the experience of ‘life without the will’ and we now can know that ‘that just doesn’t work’. So, now we can start the experience of living with the will as an equal partner of the mind! What this means ‘cosmically’ is that the truth of goodness is now known; and ‘individual rights’ is the name of it, unlike the false notion of tribalism being it, as in the past most people thought it was.
The simple formula for living with your will is to ‘accept’ your feelings with your consciousness as they come up to your awareness, whether they are negative emotions or positive emotions. Feel them and allow them to express instead of shutting them down with denial. This action will enable you to get to know your will and give it the necessary ‘acceptance’ (or love) that it needs and desires. Remember, the reason why most people ‘buy’ tribalism is because it denies the will----so ‘heavy’ it is to accept. So, to accept the feelings, a way must be discovered on just how to do this.
Before you can allow and accept the negative feelings as well as the positive feelings to be felt you must learn that the will is worth it. You can gain this knowledge when you experience the joy and pleasure practicing ‘free will’ yields. I know that when I do free will it feels exquisite and gives me a sense of completion that without it I feel less than whole. Further, I know that the action of accepting the way my will feels is exactly the thing that was missing when I followed the tribalist ethics and denied my feelings. This action of allowing my feelings is exactly the action that will heal it. So, to begin to accept the will, go through sessions of feeling your emotions and shut the process down only if it gets too overwhelming. Accept them a ‘little bit at a time’ in this manner. With practice you can accept more and more of them to greater degrees. Fear, rage, and grief are three of the big ones to allow being felt.
The final goal you will want to achieve is to balance your mind with your will. Doing this is going to allow you to not only be conscious of what you think of things but will also allow you to be conscious of what you feel about those things. This balance of thinking and feeling is the proper way for these first two energies to be.
Tribalism holds denial of the will to be requisite in order to be a ‘good’ tribalist. This is why it had appeal with most people. I hope you will see that living with your feelings is the only true way to be and that you will give up tribalism because it is the wrong way to be. OK you will have to endure negative feelings of shear hell but by learning that feeling them is a healing action you can know that these hard feelings are temporary and will be healed by you accepting them---a little bit at a time.
