NO HUMANS NO HUMAN NATURE: THE HUMAN DESCRIPTION By Professor Dr. Tan Man-Ho (A Revised excerpt from the original work, Real World Views, Book 11, by Professor Dr. Tan Man-Ho entitled "The Cupid's Songs of the Romantic Hearts; No Humans No Human Nature and No Opposites No Social Nature," December 1980 ~ July 1981 Discourses, Chapter 3, Section A: "No Humans No Human Nature: The Human Description," pp. 41~49)
NO HUMANS NO HUMAN NATURE
A. THE HUMAN DESCRIPTION 1
A psychological monster 'I' is created in
the body and it is in charge of the whole vehicle, its thinking, feelings
and actions. Unless this monster is challenged by a God of greater
might and wins the battle, the whole machine will be harmful and destructive. 2
One who does not keep one’s words is an
unreliable person. One who spends one's time looking for qualities
without improving one's own qualities does not see oneself. 3
Later on you will begin to understand why
I say the development of essence is more important than the development of
sociability and personality. Social verbal contacts such as ‘How are you now?’,
‘I am fine’, ‘See you again next time’, ‘Good morning’ and ‘It's nice to see
you’ are all personality contacts, social verbal. They are useless for
essence. Essence is your core. Your esoteric ideas are your
essence too. They, social verbal niceties, deceptively keep the personality happy. Have some time for the development of personalities
but have more time for the development of essence. When all are
essences the personalities will be the real essence’s personalities. Remember personality friends cannot last, essence
friends last forever. You cannot speak essence to people without
essence; they however only treat the essence as mere personality. 4
He who has
essence in him
can return to this own essence.
At times society or family rejects him. Remember to ask yourself in
which emotion, thought and action which you will to dwell. For the
dwelling place "makes" you and your existence; it makes your essence and
your appearance. When a being begins
to communicate with you in the inner language it is the formation of the
ground. When there is no inner
language there is no ground. 5
What is Earth’s good man?
Honest, intelligent, ability to plan, sense of balance of reason and
emotion, strong will, not easily pull away by the
Red Dust,
(women, money, sex, wine), hardworking, not aggressive, more of positive
emotion lack of negative emotion, self-control, handsome in the physical
structure, morals, adaptability, not a pleasure seeker, does not flirt, etc. 6
The “very dangerous factor” can only
be resolved by expanding its content,
making it coming-into-being, “passes through determinate being, into
essence” and becoming the “not-at-all dangerous factor.” 7
Consciousness rests on the normal pattern
of current affairs. There is no depth at all. Such are the
majority of people. Language due to personality is light, not serious,
and changes every now and then. When essence shows its truth it pays
lip service to it. The average man cannot possibly possess a strong
direction towards the esoteric circle. He is floating in a dream world
without the analytical mind. 8
Man’s inner worlds are varied and no
two men are the same internally and at all times. When the vibration
of matter is very intense and fine, it changes into consciousness and into
gods. Matter at this level of vibration should be examined by
reference to the psychological parameters. What lies in the core of
the Earth, the Moon and the Sun is the
psychic energy. If the Earth is to
ascend the scale to that of the sun, that if such will be a fact, then the
cause will lie in the “psychic energy” and the development on the laws of
octave. That “personality” which you have is a result of
thousands of years of conditioning by the radiation from the sun, earth,
moon and the stars. 9
And the greatest disease amongst
these men is their drowning of their consciousness in TVs and radios.
They set for hours in front of their darling TVs and remain with these wives
of theirs till their doom. A large proportion of our contemporary pop
songs and music has its gravitation in
the manifestation of the erotic apparatus.
It is the opium that provides the kick for mass psychosis. 10
One and the same laws govern every three
brained beings of various origins everywhere in the Universe. 11
Another man being, a friend of mine, also
gradually begins to see Earth beings with two eyes with a sense of awareness
suitable for the psychological approach 12
It is we ourselves who possess the
elements of the good
and the bad,
the moral faculty of the subjective. Religious scripture is the
produce of the special faculties in man. Religion is human principles or the attempt by
certain individuals of conscience, to evolve the laws of human principles.
A Holy Book is a "textbook", and all the various textbooks which deal with
this aspect of man are equally important.
Religion can neither be higher or lower than science
but rather a complementary to that area which science has not yet uncovered. 13
Man
likes to look for problems, even though there are none, he loves to invent
and create one.” (Dr. S.S) To
be able to handle and solve the problems that come …… this is real life.
The essence problems are fundamentally the same for people of all races,
creeds, and locations. 14
Didn’t you notice that an average
automation when given a small “shock” really and truly experience a gigantic
shock of infinite proportion and thus the statement applies to them,
'like a timid girl, a mouse is sufficient to do
the job'? 15
Amongst the many other fears
peculiar to man is the fear of words.
The words
of man are the culprit of human disunity. Certain
words, if
uttered aloud three-centeredly are fearful indeed and when accurately
sounded would chill the nerves of the listener, or spark a battle. So
beware of your words. 16
Higher essence is always straightforward
and frank. When you meet an essence individual you have to be frank
and straightforward because he is straightforward. Unless essence is
developed a lot of knowledge only serves the interests of the negative
personality. 17
Fear, suspicion, revenge, greed, murderous
……. these are the elements of emotion in man that has been most abused and
exploited. 18
Even living in the same house, the same
country, with the same religion and with the same ideology man is again
different. 19
You define the results first before
anything else. You analyze so as to lead to the already fixed results.
This is pro-analysis.
And it is no good. It is the argument whereby the road leading to God
is already defined prior to actions. 20
When I
say you have emotional understanding, I mean you are able to understand the
emotions of a person with your feeling and your mental centers. Emotional stability exists for a period. But elements of feelings, viz. greed, infatuation, restlessness, ambition, self-exaltation, pride, vanity, delusion, craving, anger, ill-will, hatred, irritability, bad habits, sexual excess, attachments, etc. are indications of emotional instability. The negation of all these means Thy kingdom come! 21
Did you not realize your mind catches
"things” and is caught by them, as if in a magic circle? When will you
be able to let them go and thus gain your freedom? Minds trapped by
various religions, ideologies, traditions and cultures generate barriers
amongst men. It leads to the existence of other worlds, alienated
worlds which are foreign to your own. Why? Because yours is the only
world crystallized in you. 22
The trouble with contemporary men is
that when they listen to music or learn to sing a song, they only
concentrate on those from their own culture. As a result their mantra
body is perfected in a manner prejudicial to other mantra bodies. They have
least the faintest idea that only by
intentionally-be-in-all that they can
escape from his mantra captivity. 23
He comes and he goes silently.
Everywhere is noisy, but he is silent. He is the conscious creature,
unseen, unheard of and invisible. 24
Developed man, because they shine, are
often despised; because the average mechanical man will condemn the smallest
scar present the ocean of qualities without the least realizing the fact
that he has “converted” a housefly into an elephant and without realizing
the weakness of his type. 25
Once upon a time a cat and a fox
were discussing about everything dangerous in the world ….. and then they
come to a point when the cat asked thus:
What will you do if a wolf attacks now? The fox answered immediately and proudly that he has
a hundred and one ways to deal with it. He said that he could pretend
to die, discuss with the wolf, trick him, offer him different foods, etc. Then after answering the question he thus asked the
same question and the cat answered, “I do not know of any great ways but I
know only one way – that is to climb up the tree.” The fox laughed loudly
on hearing this and said, “What a timid
way.” Then suddenly a wolf
did really come and the cat as in accordance to his ‘Only
one way’ idea, shot up to the top of the
tree at once. While the fox, being the most unready, was indecisive
and he was devoured” (Talking with Dr. S. S while strolling along
a mountain path ......) 26
When objective reason is the master
of your negative emotions, the developed man is at your door. When
attitude emotions tend to go negative and one makes an effort to correct it,
one has in fact attempted the work! 27
Intelligence must be accompanied by
positive feelings or else it may serve negative feelings and cause
sufferings. Negative emotion is a sore in any social gathering.
Intelligence serving negative emotions is dangerous. 28
The help: THE HELP 'A' has a problem and 'B' helps him to solve that problem. Now what is
the nature of 'A's problem? And what do you mean by HELP? Some problems deserve to be given help others don't. Whenever we speak
of helping a person we must reflect the nature of his problem and find out
whether it really deserves the help it claims for. Do you give help that is aimed at exploitation or make a bourgeois richer?
Such help only serves greed. Rest not on the childish nursery moral tale that 'helpfulness
is the golden rule,' for such a moral like
opium is often the instrument of exploitation. One has to know which
is which. If they provide a help,
they would want their names to be published in the most popular newspaper to
ensure nothing is given completely free. It is often necessary to steer our “spaceships” away from the pool of beings
who ask for help, which they do not deserve it. Help like religious aim is often impractical. They are now treated
somewhat like a cloak of deception and worst that it would sew a seed of
lazy habit. Help has been help-for-hello-sake and help-for-a-return. 29
A man’s heart”, I once read in a
book by a Muslim sage, “does not lie to him – it is always the brain that
lies?" (Rom Landau, God is My
Adventure, p.230) 30
What is this peculiar
“pool-in-the-feeling” which is made up of the elements of emotion called
sad, moody, angry, inferiority complex …..? It is visible but burn
silently without out-bursting. It is tolerable at this moment so far
according to my observation. And the young is
filled with the elements of the 'Little
Thrills' and 'fun
seeking'. You have to be able to
satisfy them some times. The young has the energy but the energy is
wasted in unconscious and mechanical activities. 31
‘Common ownership’ begins to germinate in
the fertile soil of the family, the peer group, predictive organization and
the state. But for this country such seeds do not flourish well owing to
the constant interference of the pest named ‘private ownership’, which is
somewhat confused with ‘individual ownership’. Governments uses the
“army of private ownership” to carry out business “invasion” or
“investments” on their neighboring countries. They use diplomacy and
humanitarian aids to carry out “invasion” on neighboring countries.
Humanitarian aids generate non-financial gains and even powers.
Humanitarian aids are given always with one invisible finger pointing at
sociocosmic entity of your foe. This is exploitative capitalism at its
highest level that cares nothing for the citizens except lip services and in
cases murder ……….
