Spirituality And F * Na. Writes Evolution

I already wrote a post about how self-sufficiency is often confused with frustration. But I read all the time how people boast that they don't need anyone, calling themselves mature and self-sufficient.

If a person does not need anything and anyone, he is content with the smallest, he does not care, he has no complex needs and ambitions, no strong hobbies and passions, this person is not self-sufficient, he is frustrated.

This means all his needs, which once were (and sometimes a person is frustrated with anxiety since childhood and has weak needs that he could develop), once decreased, and then disappeared. This happens when the implementation has failed, having stumbled upon insurmountable obstacles (or ideas about them), or faith in implementation has disappeared, or faith in the fact that the implementation will bring pleasure and compensate for the expended energy has disappeared (there are few forces). In any case, there was some kind of disappointment and therefore the needs disappeared.

It is very bad that such a lack of needs, which inevitably leads to a vegetable existence, a low-energy regime and a sluggish depression, is considered "self-sufficiency", that is, it is called a beautiful and proud word, it is proposed as a kind of ideal.

This is apathy, not self-sufficiency. This is important to remember and understand. Otherwise, it's an ass.

For some reason, many people rejoice when they discover that their ambitions have disappeared, they no longer need money, they do not care how they look, they no longer need love, they are no longer interested in sex, they have not been interested in friends for a long time, they have enough work themselves modest, but you can do without it, since the demands for food are minimal, and clothes and other nonsense are no longer needed.

If you recognize yourself, stop. This is not spirituality, not asceticism, not self-sufficiency, this is apathy. You are frustrated on all fronts, your resources are turned off and soon, you may become indifferent to whether you are alive or not. Then another bonus awaits you - getting rid of the fear of death. You will wait for death with indifference or even readiness. And worst of all, if in this state you have thoughts about your own spirituality. Most of your brain is just off, you are not spiritual, you are sick.

Is the problem clear?

The better the psyche works, the more actively the brain plows, the more desires and aspirations a person has, even passions. The more desires, the more energy he has. Yes, unfulfilled desires cause suffering, so the psyche, wishing to protect itself from suffering, tries to choose only those desires that are most likely to be realized, and blocks unreal ones (except for states of addictions, when the desire is too great and it is easier to create illusions of realization than to block it). The more desires are not realized, the more frustration, the more frustration, the more desires are not realized, and at some point a person may notice that he no longer wants anything. Or almost doesn't want to. Or wants the bare minimum.

And here it is very important how you react to your frustration. As soon as you say with relief: what happiness, I am an impotent ascetic and this does not bother me anymore, the frustration will gain a foothold and will worsen, as well as other spheres that you have shown the way may start to become frustrated. So gradually you will slide into old age, not biological, but mental, although biological is also connected with this. Your energy flows will slow down, your current will decrease, your fire will begin to fade. And then all thoughts about your own spirituality are only mental protection, your illusions, the mission of which is to help you descend into apathy painlessly. Illusions, in principle, always have only one function - to reduce stress.

To always distinguish spirituality from frustration, you need to remember a simple thing: development cannot follow the path of simplification, it always follows the path of complication. If needs are simply turned off, this is degradation, not development, it cannot be any kind of spirituality. Development is when a need becomes more complex, stronger or deeper, moves to another level of realization. That is, a person, for example, ceases to be interested in food as a way to fill his stomach to the full, but begins to be interested in the art of cooking and reaches a level of high skill in this. His interest in food did not decrease, it even grew, but it became much more complicated and acquired additional (!) Plans. This is the simplest example of the spiritualization of need. The primitive need has become creative, that is, more sublime. A lofty need is a need that requires more developed and complex functions of the mind for its realization than an animal need for which simple ones are enough.

If a person loved to fill his stomach and all the time thought about various foods, and then lost interest in food completely and began to eat bread and water, it cannot be said that he became spiritualized, he simply stopped loving to eat. If at the same time he developed some other needs and burns with something different, great (especially if it is useful to others - the more useful it is to others, not utilitarian, but for development, the more spiritually). But if he stopped loving everything else in life in the same way, became disillusioned with all the simple joys, and did not acquire any complex and lofty needs in return, he simply degraded. He did not become one iota more spiritual.

How does self-sufficiency differ from frustration? The fact that a self-sufficient person always (!) Has a lot of pumped, that is, internal resources. And the frustrated one simply turned off the external ones and stopped needing them. As a result, a self-sufficient person has a sea of proactive stimuli, he is interested and important in the other, the third, he burns and moves in his development, and receives all the impulses for movement from within, the motivation in him is untwisted like a turbine, he does not need external circumstances to do something. then catch fire, want something as non-self-sufficient, which is always needed, otherwise it goes out.

And a frustrated person simply does not want or look for anything, he sits on his butt evenly and feels, as it seems to him, not bad, since he is already adapted to a low-energy regime. He has no strength for anything, but he does not feel this, because he does not want anything. A person feels a lack of strength when he feels a desire and sees that he cannot realize it. And when you no longer want anything, you cannot detect a lack of strength. So there is nothing to worry about, you can just lie and sit.

Many people ask, how can one get out of frustration? I already wrote a post, "How to get out of the ass." Remember the first rule? "Understand that you are in the ass." And second: "to understand that the ass is finite." If you understand this, you have already begun to move upward, have already begun. But the ass is designed in such a way that it is impossible to understand this, being deep in it. The ass is quiet, warm and dark, quite comfortable. The thought that you need to crawl out into a noisy, hectic world, full of desires, and therefore suffering, delivers fear. The world seems like an ass, and the ass is a cozy nest. That is, the idea that the ass is bad, and getting out of the ass is good, in the ass is not available. And this is her most important ambush. Not every brain can overcome it.

And each resource has its own little ass separately. Women (and men), frustrated in love, is it not true that you are so comfortable, quiet, calm, flies do not bite, and relationships are some kind of mess, fuss and bustle? You are in a love ass. Well, if in all other areas your life is in full swing, then to hell with her with an ass in love. She's not worth your attention. And if it doesn't boil?

The following remains. While you are not in a complete ass, but only approaching from small to big, and this can be understood by the fact that fewer and fewer things in life delight you and cause you a passionate desire, change your worldview. Stop considering needs as evil, stop rejoicing at what you don’t want, stop being afraid of suffering from unfulfilled desires, be afraid of the absence (!) Of desires.

Desirelessness is an asshole. And suffering from non-realization is life and fuel for pumping, that is, such a normal and healthy thing, especially if you treat them differently (as a load, as a result of which the muscles of the personality grow). This is a healthy thing, in contrast to the frustration where people flee from suffering. And frustration, multiplying into apathy, leads to a gradual shutdown of parts of the brain.
