Shadow Truism

Shadow Truism

Manifest the inherent life within you to achieve life's hierarchy of needs

"And life confided the secret to me, behold, it said, I am that which must always overcome itself"

~Niechze, Thus Spoke Zarasthusra

We are Life. We carry forward life within our bodies, our genes, architypes,cultures and much more unknown. Our bodies keep the score of our experiences. Life adapts gradually through us as means. Then we wither off, life continues. But life isn't anything fundamentally special, it is unique, that's undeniable yet it still follows the laws of reality, the fundamental truths of this Universe.

Understanding People

Understanding People

  • The more personal, the more universal

The key to understanding people is to understand that the actuality of people are not what they think, believe or possess. It's their behaviour. Behaviour is prompted by a cause. It's nature reveals more about a person than it conceals the irrationality behind it for that particular individual. Therefore, to know oneself is to unbiasly observe one's behaviour and then find the cause of it. It's always the Attributions we make which make what we make of us.

Attribution Theory

Attribution Theory

Attribution theory is concerned with how individuals interpret events and how this relates to their thinking and behavior. Attribution theory assumes that people try to determine why people do what they do, i.e., attribute causes to behavior. A person seeking to understand why another person did something may attribute one or more causes to the behaviour.

A three-stage process underlies an attribution:

(1) the person must perceive or observe the behavior

(2) the person must believe that the behavior was intentionally performed

(3) Attribution is made which is personal, situational or ovccsional

Identity

Identity

What we Identify with is the most causal aspect of behaviour. Identifing as a good person, for example, make us incapable of knowing when we are in the wrong due to the repellent cognitive disonance and Constitency bias. So does it work with politics, Gender, Victimhood and everything in life. It becomes a mask that cannot be detached from the face. It rules our behaviour, metal formations (believes, awareness, biases etc), desires, visions, purpose and perception. Attribution makes us "us".

TRUTH

"Truth, calculations and Potentially are the ultimate recipe for success"

"All lies and misunderstandings take toll"

"No matter how vurnerable you are, in the darkness of the unknown, the light of truth will keep you off the dangerspots. The brighter it shines, the safer your venture is"

"If truth is light, know that it hath many hues. All truths have their domain, degrees of truth, radiance and rewards."

"Courage and truths are the fundamentals of living."

Shadow Truism

Shadow Truism

It stands for a philosophy of caution when ingesting truths, caution when identifying, confidence by knowing the limits/radiance of the truths, and forever pushing your understanding as a truth-seeker. It has three symbolic architypes.

The Dragon

The Dragon

The Dragon stands for Courage, Rage, Vigilance and Freedom.

Courage when Rational is a leverage in life, When irrational is a sentence of death.

Youth is a dormant rage of the human condition.

Vigilance is knowing that you are capable of the despicable tyranny and keeping it that way.

Life doesn't fights just in punches, bite or swords. It fights in possibilities. Thus, it is innately free. Thus, be free, of bondage of identities, lies, desires, emotions, flow (flow state) than to languish it away.

Shadow

Shadow

"We are, in all truths, everything we are capable of; willing, unwilling, consciously, unconsiously, Wholly or partly. Life is potential crafted by nature and nurture"

Our shadow is what we are capable of by our nature and nurture, even if we refuse to identify with it. We may not act like barbarians, identity with barbarianism but we are. We may not have committed a crime, but all of us are criminal by nature. Everything rejected by us is casted into the pitch of our shadow.

Shadow is the unknown

Shadow Integration

"Just because the shadow disappears in darkness doesn't mean it isn't there. It means that you noticed it only in the light, tagging along. One may think that it is distinct from oneself but Shadow is what allow us to craft ourselves, change, adapt, fight,win and manifest. It's us"

To integrate the shadow, know your Attributions and know how to disindentify and identity with what is requisite of your purpose. Make it impersonal to be you, similiar to how you are indifferent to yourself.

Phoenix

Phoenix

The Phoenix stands for Resilience, Truth, Sacrifice and Self-overcoming.

It stands for the nature of life. If the dragon be the attitude, let phoenix be thy soul. Hedonism is not the search of happiness, it's substitution for our guilt of giving up. Self-overcoming is the way fo life. It is rewarded, regarded in highness and transcends all needs. Abraham Maslow who studied the happiness men placed this need in the apex of the heiarchy.

Game Theory

Game Theory

Morality is the Nash Equilibrium of the Game of Civilization. Culture ingrains civility among people, Religion ingrains morality. I truths, they are mere imaginary lines to navigate through strategies.

Game theory explains behaviour, and knowing the attributions, we could infact read people and ourselves. I would recommend to get into depth with it.

Opinion

Opinion

The Universe is not pessimistic/ optimistic. It is full of all possibilities. It happens across multiverse of possibilities. Every possibility is a reality. Even life was suppose to be impossible, yet here we are.

Everything is connected to an ultimate reality which is at superposition of infinite possibilities, indipendent of space-time. Creation, preservation and destruction occurs preodicly. There is nothing life suffers more than conditonal freedom. Bondage is the comfort of retirement.

IDEAS CURATED BY

CURATOR'S NOTE

These Ideas are A collection of 17 years of deliberate suffering to dawn upon realisations. These empowered my character and helped me to know what and how to don anything in my life. I thought, I ought to share this. It like the meme "I understood the assignment" where the assignment was life.
