BAILEY'S SUPREME PROFOUND THINKING IN AFRICAN TRADITION Volume 110
Earth world Birth of a ‘human-to-be’ embraces a “Genetic Sameness” with all God’s Creatures/Creations + being “Unique” (i.e. the only one of its kind). Each enters another ‘indivisible difference’ duality of Cosmic Reality (e.g. Nature, Environment) + a highly flawed human-made society. How a human will live involves choosing aspects out of the 4 ‘indivisible differences’ to create a lifestyle. In their Earth world journey, humans have Free Will to use their Divinity Self’s orchestrated Genius/Wisdom/Intellect thinking or their Animalistic Intelligence. Most humans are socialized to have their Animalistic Selves direct their living by Imagination, Memory, Biases, Prejudices, Beliefs, Opinions. Each is an illusion, possessing a compelling “SEEMs” right Truth but without being so. This path causes them to accept what “SEEMs” right/“Almost”/All-or-None/Either/Or as ‘good enough.’ Thus, they slide further and further away from the Truth Track; avoid the difficult Circumspection thinking, which calls on all of ones Spiritually related faculties to figure out how to move forward in Right Life Living. Humans’ keystone blockage to making right decisions about “How Shall I Live?” is choosing their own standards over Paragon standards. Their own/socialized made-up standards--as their basis of right/wrong, good/bad—are self-advantaged so as to always “Win” and others to “Lose”. This causes their Animalistic system of “Beliefs/Faith/Opinions” to keep them from Truth. As determined by Divine Laws--the only source of Truth, they refuse to see their practices/products are never right. Hence, they never change. Whereas Divinity Minds see/know Reality without opinions, Animalistic/Weak minds have “Beliefs/Faith/Opinions” without seeing the Spiritual/Reality and their thinking ‘makes no sense.’ By contrast, Real Self people focus on Circumspection coordination of all their Spiritual faculties. By so remaining in the flow of Divine Laws, they constantly use its Spiritual Elements of Unconditional Love, Truth, Reality, Naturalness to frame all choices, decisions, solutions. This process means one is always on the corrective watch for difficulties in the nature of the task one is undertaking; in ones self-made problems/errors; in the losses, lacks, obstacles ignorant, stupid, foolish, con-artists, wicked people put in their way. This is Spiritually driven by Courage--a practical display of being true to ones Selfhood Greatness + of character Integrity. Courage shows as willingly dealing with necessary/important/significant problems/issues one does not choose. Since Selfhood Greatness is a human being made in the likeness of God, it is the context out of which all one thinks, feels, says, does is compared against the ultimate Divine Laws Standards before proceeding on the right path. So, my idea about “How Shall I Live?” is that one will be in the right place only when one can spontaneously exhibit, maintain, cultivate Selfhood Greatness. Then, its associates can daily display what is Spiritually Uplifting for the most appropriate people--that serves the most specific need--in the most convenient way--over longest periods of time--that ever ripples outward so as to be ready for the yet unborn. Such “ME/WE” Gift Giving includes, among others, daily cultivating: (I) Private Selfhood Greatness Birth Gifts (e.g. one Unique Talent); (II) keeping ones Genius/Wisdom/Intellect hierarchy constantly active with its African Tradition’s skilled Web Thinking of Common Sense (Truths of Divine Laws), Critical, Creative, Rational Thinking within the context of Logic; (III) Personal Manifestations—e.g. Calmness; Happy; Freedom; Play/Fun; Appreciation; Free Mind; Self-Assessments, like “What part did I play in the problem faced?”; enjoy being alone; display ones Legacy Divine Plan; become a “Ma’at Human”; (IV) Public Manifestations—e.g. promote “ME/WE” harmony, do Selfless Service, be non-aggressive.
