The sixth of the more common eddies of “active unenlightenment” in which Zone 2 swimmers find themselves is the delusion of somehow being “not yet ready” – the delusion of somehow needing to “learn more” or “know more” before they can step forth boldly as selflessly active members of their communities. In order to help […]
Penultimately, the 7th of the eight most common lures of “active unenlightenment” is the frequent delusion held by many Zone 1 addicts & just as many Zone 2 adherents that “being good is good enough” (after all, as these folks often profess, we are all “only human”) – a blatant falsehood that manifests itself in […]
*As mentioned previously, Zone 1 advocates tend to champion values that are fully self-centered and that are almost exclusively enlivened for the benefit of themselves &/or their most cherished loved ones (choices that those residing in Zone 1 call “self-loving” or “prudent,” that those living in Zone 2 label “sinful” or “selfish,” and that those […]
*Unlike their previously illuminated Zone 1 counterparts, the “lesser virtues” of Zone 2 are exhibited by those who have chosen to – at least for a time – leave the world of rampant selfishness behind in favor making choices that are more “moral.” Theirs are the behavioral characteristics that seem to be “more ethical” or […]
*Finally, Zone 3 enthusiasts (the truly Enlightened) are those who choose to purely enliven at least one of the Noble Virtues in any given interaction1 – Virtues which are always enlivened with the benefit of others in mind, Virtues which always bring Harmony to others & Peace to oneself, and Virtues (like their Zone 1 […]
The final primary pit of “active enlightenment” into which Zone 2 individuals frequently fall is the delusional belief that embodying Enlightenment requires a journey thereto – and a difficult journey at that. To help clarify (&/or free yourself from) the same, feel free to humbly ponder (& courageously pro-act) the following illuminations thereof … *Whereas […]
Now that we have illuminated & clarified the major differences related to how the three Zones of Being are internally known & perceived, it is time to examine how they differ in “the real world” – namely the different ways that the members of these Zones “wake up;” how they quite distinctively interact with (& […]
Secondly, we can look to how enlivening each of the three Zones differently alters one’s mental beliefs & the psychological manifestations that stem therefrom … *The minds of Zone 1 patrons are fundamentally ruled by impulse and prejudice (i.e. their emotional reactions, their vacuous convictions, their vapid preconceptions, &/or their selfish desires). In effect, their […]
Finally, taking the aforementioned information into account, we can see how the three Zones each lead to very different behaviors & ways of interacting with others … *While all three alternatives believe in the sanctity of the mind and its ability to adhere to the subtle advice of “the gut,” they each actualize the same […]
The fundamental question facing anyone looking to become “more enlightened” is not whether life’s negative challenges must be removed or mitigated, but rather how to go about doing so. Each of the three different Zones of Being goes deals with the limitations pain & frustration & confusion in very different ways; each having very different […]
It can come as little surprise to learn that the three Zones of Being not only manifest dramatically different characteristics while being enlivened by their respective members, but also engender dramatically different consequences (for self & for others) thereafter. When choosing any path’s new beginning, it can be most helpful to know of its probable […]
