The Path Of Least Resistance

[FighterFromAfar]

People who serve themselves walk the Path of Least Resistance.

Service to self, in pure form, is a desire to not be, or to be Primal Matter. Matter is taken on the path of least resistance because it does not have the power or awareness to do otherwise.

We who have brains were given them for a reason. What makes a human being different from a rock is the human’s ability to think.

Therefore, in order to be a thinking, acting human in my fullest potential, as well as to align myself with the path of service to others, I must seek to avoid the Path of Least Resistance.

In other words, I must seek to constantly be, to constantly do. To quote George Washington, “It’s amazing what we can do when we are constantly doing.” This is the Path of Creation.

So, I must seek to plan out my life so that I may gain the fullest potential from each moment, waking or sleeping.

Note: One who seeks the Path of Least Resistance seeks to impose one’s will on others for one’s own benefit. One may do so by brute force, though this expends the most energy. One may alternately seek to coerce or fool others into doing one’s bidding. This is how hierarchies and systems of control are formed.

mifune, just went to your blog, cos i thought i'd post a reply there - seeing as what i wanted to say was probably misunderstanding your piece, a bit picky and manipulating the debate in a personal direction (as i'm prone to doing) - but it's not there.

will just make one brief point though (it's late and i must go to bed), about serving oneself. i think it depends upon how we perceive our interests to be best served and that can be dependent upon many things - of course our personal position and wealth but also the opinion of others, feeling of wellbeing (oneness), future of our children... from this aspect, one must define between short-term self-interest, that of gratification and domination, and long-term self-interest, that of what one wishes for one's offspring, and their offspring.

sadly, i fear, we live in a world where the former has primacy.

A certain degree of healthy self-interest is all well and good. STO and STS are somewhat counterintuitive.

When one is serving others, one ends up serving self in the long run, because one makes friends along the way, and makes the world a better place to live in. This feeling of well-being and caring for the future of our children, these things, if motivated purely by a desire to spread goodness and light, are Service to Others, the Path of Creation. Then again, it is easy for a person to want a feeling of well-being or offspring because he or she is only motivated by the personal gain one can experience from such things.

Likewise, when one is serving self, one ends up expending much more time and energy on maintaining one's control over others, as well as fighting the negative reputation and reaction caused by such controlling tactics. One finds, with service to self, that there is a problem of exponentially diminished gains as one climbs the ladder. Those who have the highest personal position and wealth in this world, (politicians, CEO's, etc.) you will find, are all bad people, but extremely good at playing the game, because most of the people at the top are psychopaths who only look out for their own personal gain.

Interestingly enough, the way politicians and corporations operate is dictated mainly by economics and game theory: politics and corporate business are zero-sum games with the express goal of destroying ones opponents or bringing them firmly under your control, and gaining the absolute most one can, at the opponent's expense (opponent possibly being anyone else period, even the consumer). It's much more economical to coerce or fool your opponent into doing your bidding, instead of forcing your opponent to do your bidding. Again, the Path of Least Resistance.

However, and this is very important, the Path of Creation is exemplified by balance. You cannot see the sun shine unless there is darkness for the sun to shine upon.



Here, you can understand the meaning of the symbol Yin-Yang more fully. To an STO individual, the interest of one is the interest of all. One of the traits of STS is wishful thinking. An STS individual does not see that by only serving self, he ends up enslaved to his own delusions, heading towards a path of ultimate self-destruction.

The matter of Free Will is supremely important. Those who want to understand Free Will must understand that choosing between STO and STS are perfectly valid choices. In this universe, an STS individual has the right to attack you, coerce you, or fool you just as much as you have the right to fight back and not give in to the lie. When one submits to a lie, one becomes a slave to the STS hierarchy.

To interfere with someone's free will is an act of service to self, because one seeks to serve one's own view, and hence, one's own ego by forcing the other to one's will, even if that will is ostensibly good.

To give in to someone's demands for help will only feed the STS tendency, and should be avoided lest one becomes enslaved to STS.

One should give in a spirit of non-anticipation, not expecting any personal gain, or positive or negative outcome, only to those who ask. This is an act of Service to Self, pure and unadulterated.

So, the purpose here on this Earth, for those who seek the Path of Service to Others, is to become objective so that one can see good and evil, STO and STS, as they are, and in so doing, learn how to align oneself with STO while avoiding becoming a slave to the STS hierarchy.

You will find that the greatest battle you face is the battle within your own mind, in your daily life.

First second I read that, I was thinking of a Taoist or something similar then I scroll down on this thread and I see a Yin-Yang (then I read your blog thing, good job), first time in forever since I have not had a headache reading something thats so close to what I expected or hoped for.

Those who have the highest personal position and wealth in this world, are only put there by those who play by that reasoning and that way of thinking, and that way of life, which will never stand the test of time. Sometimes you wonder how can such things go on for so long? Delusions of life and how patient it really is, our time will come, when it does, well you wont be thinking of what ifs, some wont be thinking at all when their time comes or our time comes, time in a sense of a event that has yet to occure. Given that a possiblity of a future, some higher balance of power in reality must be giving us a chance, because we must have a chance in succeeding and becoming more in tune with life, nature and what exsist in the unknown potentials we have inside of us all.

The point is not that you shouldn't act in reason, but you shouldnt act in current exception of what human reason is. Nature is extreme only to those who do not wish to flow with it, nature is unknown and never ending and in its beauty, we try to act like we are not part of it, but its from the place in which we were born, in more places then just what meets the eye.

One must first accept the fact that there is no "just this one time", or "I will deal with it when it happens again" Because the test of life are consistent, and do not abide by the same logical thinking of time as humans have developed and been using, time is ever consistent and flowing, this is a formula professionals have succeeded in understanding to some point, but theres always a need to mature and understand that once you understand that life is not what it appears to be once you seek answers out of the commune that has been buildt up around you in your entire life. There are extremes to everything, and what I am saying can only be interperated in a way you think, not how i project it.

The best way is to accept the fact you are where you sit, and anything you do now has a negative and positive effect you know exist, weither you are sociopath or psychopath, in the end, the beat of life goes on and you wont. The service to others is continually unique, but not only that, the extremes in that case would be service to all life, and its creatures other then your own kind, that is the ultiment acception, and to accept evil does not just exsist in human spirit but in other places unknown and will continually try and envoke negative effects on nature, and destroy it. Each attempt getting much more brutal and risky, when it does occure life gets more unbalanced and the sense of the ages get longer and longer, and life becomes more complex and dreadful and the beat goes harder.

Once one gets to know the difference between truth, and what they think truth is, and fully accept the fact if they want to live in true joy they need to flow with nature or become part of it. Becoming part of it is far to out of reach in this day and age.

Something I wrote recently, no spell check or I have yet to even look over it lol.

"Long ago, mentioned by many cultures, in many eras, known, forgotten?. Forgotten in the essence of life that ever flows through the cracks of the unknown reality which is so massive this universe itself is not big enough to discrib even a fraction of it and its posibilitys. It is often the councousness that will ever evade the door to the test that lead to the world of light and true joy and love, because they are gone in our minds, and never spoken of, controllers in present and past have always been seeking to find ways to seal the passages and windows to sight of the truth in any form, even today. Though they may have the biggest effect on the cultures, they can never harm nature, even in this day and age, even though they genetically alter plants and animals now, they will never stand the test of time in which plants and animals with the true essence of life in them have. Forever flowing, morphing and unknown.

Why do you consistently think of outcome, nature thinks of balance and ever changing cycle, that will never end, or we like to think it will, but its human error in reading this vague view on reality? Just because your life may seem to come to a end and other living things, does not mean things on the more complex scale of reality will ever work in the same way, such as nature ever changing and flowing.

Looking up to the stars, looking down to the ever downward to answers, trying to see things in human comprehension, lost our natural thought of being with nature. Ever calling your name, ever testing you, you always resist the reality thats always there, pain and suffering, why be in anger, when you should be working at solving the issue at hand?

Why are you not yourself, why must one do pointless things to waste energy when it could be used for better things making human and nature connection more balanced. Everything has right to live under the law of nature, taking it away for no reason may have councequences you will never understand? Problem is people always look at things from a impossible view point, created in their minds, feelings are dull and lives are care free, untill the time of their death is near or happening only then does the inner self awaken, that in which has been asleep since early age, when one was forced to go into hiding. Thinking in karmatic terms, does it go over life times? or just this life time, if reincarnation is real, but does it matter, you only live once, or is it true? Don't you think you are lucky to be a human being then? Quiet amazing you are here reading this and a supposed suppiorer being on the planet. Try and think hard, who are you and why you so lucky? Go battle with the thoughts that cross your mind, because each one is far from reality more then likely."
