Introspection and its use in an outwards revolving, deterministic world.

Just some midnight jibber jabber about improving oneself and the mechanics behind. I'm not sure where I'm going with this or how well I'm able to maintain a focus here. But here goes.

Human species is quite special in nature's world: we have the capability to reflect, project and have self- awareness. Most organisms just grow outwards without an interconnected surface, so to say.
Here we come across the realization that even with these properties, many people go for the primitive route - to be selfish and reactive, to be tainted to what's being offered in front of them. This easily leads to the hindering of spiritual growth.

So how to overcome this?

Everyone won't get the same tools from their environment - the answer lies within oneself. Speaking of a person, we all are tabula rasa (empty painting) when we are born - our psyche is at purest form of being, unaffected by the universe that grows outwards. As we grow, we infuse information that leads for our psyche and its layers to evolve.
Ego and its act to preserve itself plays the major role in recessing the progression of an intact "self".
It's quite self- explanatory if you consider that we don't have free will but causality.

I've had the chance to have multiple ego deaths via manic psychoses in the past decade and more. They are always a huge eye opener for what went wrong with myself to become a better person. Kinda plateauing a few times. Not every time I've had progress but hey, the psychose is not a needed property to clash with oneself's ego... One can do it daily on everyday life, I just vent a little longer period all at once. Luckily my memory is good enough for me to piece back up again the yearly mess that is my case, usually.

So what's the chase here? To overcome! I claim that life is more rewarding and has a lot more direction when one is aware of one's own mechanics, understanding the surroundings better. It helps to give up on false believes, bad behavioural patters and so much more.

To play with ego, first realize that it's not you who is in control, but the ego. Give the monkey a banana! So happens to be that weed can be really good to do introspection with... So the utmost important question remains - are you blinded by your ego, or do you actively play with it?

This sounds like a really serious post, but for me it's just passing time in traditive manner of whacko-altruism.

Also this opening is a bit narrow for I'm not used to talk about this matter. Need some surface and conversation to work with until my pedagogical skills awake lol. Geesh what a full moon made me do. Fire up if ya feel like it.

Moreover, To be proactive, you have to go into an uncomfortable area in your thoughts - you have to be able to be self-critical. If you can't take feedback from yourself, who would be able to course you? Those people are usually professionals. These kind of deviant intrapsyche folks are really rare in the wild.

So go the mechanics of enlightenment in a world dominated by reactions - reactions won't fulfill the personality. I usually avoid people whom are in need of therapy, unless they are very close. In that case, I try to bring out the self-centeredness and eradicate it by leaving tools in the form of shared thought (projection). It's a LOT of work.

Here is an article about AI being the intervening part instead of an other human being. VERY PROMISING - furthermore, AI will, in the long run, make doctors and specialist more obsolete. The most prominent area is
still in humanitary work. There would be a therapist that uses AI as an diagnostic tool and more. All we really need is therapy..sadly this is only one year old article, and needs creating an account in order to read it.

So here are some quick read wiki links for a few keywords. They build up really nicely and give a clear view of the mechanics. I can post more about applied behavioural sciences, I've had quite a research in that area.

Confirmation bias, the selfish tendency




Cognitive dissonance, the root cause

Required kind of thinking is preferred as hermeneutic method. It cancels out any contradiction in one's thought patterns and reasoning. A must to have in order to assemble a logical mind all the way. Endless fullfillment of information, doesn't it sound perfect?

Imagine it like this. Any new information fullfills existing information, new information creates no contradiction towards information already acknowledged. Therefore the new and old information are precise. (Boy do I wish interaction so I could refine my intellectual coherence!)

Here a little deeper dive to practices of knowledge.

Building an intact self requires the fullfillment of hermeneutic circle in ones thoughts. It means that any information is in order related to its parts. A coherence without contradictions. Children are more susceptible for this. As a youngling, there is less information to be corrupted, therefore easier adaptation. A self-recognition, followed by perceptible fundamental truths.

This technique amounts to reprogram oneself when mature enough. This could be partly avoided if we were taught right at adolescence. Trauma plays a big role at stalling progress for example.
