And humans need to explore what is in fables and proverbs before stupidity takes its toll or takes over.

Frisk Studies
Study first and decree competently afterwards.If you are out of your own waters, you have to study a lot for competing, and go for it first.
Very hard insights need to be made handsome or snug to be palatable to deep levels of our minds, and to the minds of little angels, the good children. Snug proverbs, fables, parables, and fairy tales can work well in this respect.
Many existential insights are too hard to take in and live out for conform and fearful guys in the mass industrial society nowadays. Rollo May points out that unless you live out the good things you realise, you may end up burnt out. For then you know in your heart that you do not live up to your ability, and some levels of your mind may start to feign to preserve an illusion of grandeur - neurotic defence mechanisms try to preserve an okay identity, and by hook and crook too.
But don't despair. By the cloaking of things and perhaps making them look outré, out-distanced and "don't matter", you may hover along as long as it lasts. The price is as in Victorian times - self-deception that makes stilted and fooled.
If you cannot be a friend of yourself, who else can you really be friends with, as time goes by?
Briskness is good, but there are other qualities that fit humans too. You have to learn to assess and judge well, to avoid being dominated.
There is much to think of; in Tao Te Ching's chapter 17 we are told that the best of leaders are hardly heard of. If so, of the best of shepherds, the people hardly know they exist. Only the next best they love and praise like crazy [cf. Ch. 17, paraphrased].
General Hanky-Panky Features
- Sequency of fairly typical events of involvement;
- Tactic by which one may undercut or frustrate the harem game. You cannot be a buddy;
- Some likely payoff of the game, including the over-all purpose.
- Some positions that must be filled for being with the other parties in the same "tent". Here the shared "tent" of involvement can be narcissism.
- Psychological motivations that may be hinted at as drives inside the odd hanky-panky;
- The possible blue-prints of the hanky-panky, maybe rooted in deep childhood experience. Here is the place for Freudian analyses with circumspection.
- An analysis diagram of the game is fit only here, at this stage of discernment. diagrams of the TA kind are for short-circuiting the moves in the deep game.
- Dominant steps of the game, as likened to strokes in common social interactions or rituals;
- Likely advantages of the game are the more or less spineless gains the players get from playing it or getting along with it. Among the advantages there are internal and psychological ones.
The colloquial, terse terms and scheme above are extracted from a good university textbook. [Ins 130-31]. Now let us tentatively inspect the urging "Cry for Divine Mother" as a facet of a deep-going narcissistic plot and camouflaged by common rigmarole, while we adhere to the special rules of the Game involved. Insights are to be funneled into steady activity on "an even keel" to work very well in the middling and long run, it is presumed. Good education is for that or something very like it.
Ailing like hell
Deep hanky-panky has to be met on the operating wave-lengths
A presumed TA Game of SRF (Self-Realization Fellowship) might very well be: "God
Mother will certainly appear if you cry a lot for her. You do not
know how true it is". A Game is some hanky-panky. It can hinder full and free zest of living, good uses of innate capabilities, and can lead to cramped ways also. However, it is possible to cope better. That is a general TA
outlook.To come to grips with TA-like hocus-pocus Games in better ways, the Game indicators need to be studied. Some of them can be mixed.
One - TICK
Folkloric counterparts, if any (1)
Fables from antiquity and onwards indicate topics and themes in traditionally set-up living in some European countries, but not all of them. There may be no advantages in playing a hard, lethal Game. It should be dropped, the sooner the better.Cannot be a genuine buddy
Why do so few sift and compare words by Jesus against words by what Jesus labels false Messiahs? Faking has its long-run price, and ruin may be a part of it.Ignorers of common fare, its bartering.
Sound belonging is largely in the family, not in didactic counterparts with "brothers", "sisters", "mothers", and "fathers", to name a few Catholic titles that are taken up in SRF too. The natural does not need much of such padding. Besides, diagrams and
non-silly illustrations may help us against bluffing facades.Folkloric similarity may be found in some tales of robbers that dupe and steal from gullible people, or "Big Claus and Little Claus". Maybe staying well out of such settings is the help needed. None should try to be a buddy of daredevils that set bring nonsense into the church rigmarole.
There is often a rigmarole play on top of some run down good need from somewhere in your personal past; it has to be represented later, as evidenced from some recurrent set-up.
Going for a soap harem could be deeply aligned to crying for God Mom.
Gross player advantages, if any (2)
They play divine. The advantages of playing a narcissistic game hinders that it is aborted and done away with. "Behave well as the giant fathers on top of us decree, or . . ." may or may not get into that ark.The neglected dire id needs from childhood or adolescence may give way to some run-down id-unfoldment's best vicarious outlet. By that you may get outsmarted. If rigmarole wails become dominant instead of sound diving inside (contemplation) that's a facet of it.
The various group-allowed positions inside the sstrange narcissism set-up may be too meagre. "Be giant in coming like ancient Greek Heracles and wail for mercy" for it, is not much. Wailing for God may denote offset individual aspiration.
Two - TACK
Offset aspiration: behave well as the giant decrees, or . . . (3)
To counteract that big guys do away with your personal assets needed for Jungian individuation, offset the humbling aspirations inside you. If needs be, withdraw from unsound associates much and relevantly. It's hard. You have to ask yourself: "Just what did you aspire to right before you entered the Guru Farm?" Don't let the Farm control or man-handle you by your ideals. Let your ideals belong to yourself, first of all.Some dire need that's mocked or bulwarked against
Do not be a jerk or clown to appease others, no matter what suggestions you get in your ears all day long. Be a clown in your own right instead.Be smart or true and think a lot for yourself so as to get to grips with understated maneuvres or undercutting tactics brought in the open (4)
Be smart, but not specially glittering in the open. A truly smart fare is more worth that the flowers of expressions along its wayside. It's most often that way.Possible shots across your bow -
Blue-prints from the depths of childhood may come up in the open: "Ignore as much as you can that you are slyly offended and outsmarted, outwitted.
Three - TOE
Caught - how or how strongly? (5)
The degree of stupidity is perhaps indicated by the deviations from the common average, but it depends. Study some deviation from colloquial whereabouts on top of your best suspicions.Discern what's at stake
These things are very hard to get to terms with if one is battered deep inside for prolonged periods. Later in life, the
more you submit in the rigmarole way, accepting the other, complementary role offered, the higher you may get, disregarding your higher
conscience for the same of Big Game-involvement:"Cry and wail for anthropomorphic God Mother." A traumatising surface of blunt offences in that case can be:
"Keep up a similar rigmarole and discipline to enervate, and in the end domesticate, dominate and weaken simpletons as a pretending helper.
"One-eye-giants (Cyclopes) err not, must be served always, cannot be mocked". (6)
In consequence your own self-esteem may be spoiled. Instead, try to let your genuine first-hand aspirations be put first in your fare. To outwit giants is a hallmark of clever or tricky coping in lots of folktales. But it depends on how the giants are: helpful or not, for example.The most classical example of similar tyranny, if any
The Odyssey's gorgons and monsters show us a need for back-up tales or even counter-stories.What secret aggressiveness could be at the bottom of the ouvertures? (7)
Some can be werewolves - figuratively.Bulwark better - be well allied with the lessons derived from some history sector. (8)
This can be done. You can bulwark better. Jesus seems to be a giant fisher. Against the grumbling clerks of Christianity people delighted in the tale of the charcoal-burner that slowly rose to prominence and became the king's favoured father after he got clergy equipment and did not get scared. [see Eaw] The tale ridicules pompous conformity and people who are too slavish under bigwigs. Humorous anti-authoritarianism one of the fundamental assets of many folk tales of Scandinavia.Here Is How To Get Out Of The Revered Harem In a New Key
Do not try to be a big shot in the wrong enclave. An overbossy enterprise
may be that sort of environment, or an arena of alarming mimickry, or with
with totemist idolising and tight and conform lore.Think more of yourself than of any Yogananda, if your true need is to reverse the downgrading of yourself and good fellows by swimming against the stream somewhere like a trout from the plateau you may be in. It may be no easy or feasible way, anyhow. Better stay away from man-catchers and cults in which to find some of their kind.
Elaboration
TICK
Folkloric counterparts, if any, are had by the art of clever-looking assumptions. And that can be typical Freudian. (1)
Come what may, today we have psychoanalytical councelling, which can be a quite good approach.We have to sift major steps involved in unsound or unfair interactions and rituals. [From the scheme, no 2]The steps of unfair, unfit ritual may leave you in ruin later. The bigger they are, the more they have to eat, and in many sects members support them.
The buddy avatar risk: look at Krishna
You aim may be id-related if you want to win the universe by gasping in a closet. You should get over it.Ignorers of common fare.
It does not help to be shy. The shy and modest tailor in the Grimm tale and many similar tales had to be brisk to succeed in a big way. Assertiveness training on the job and otherwise should be thought of. Dr. Herbert Fensterheim's book on it could work well. [Edo].Your inner desires for belonging has driven you to one offhand church where your domination of beasts may get out of control, for "I must be aligned to great ones or starve one way or another". this is much likely for the boss-ridden monk or nun - that mumbo jumbo pervert of Adam and Eve's best coping or living.
There is a risk that soap opera saviour tactics undermines you, no matter how you strive on top of a very long period where giant father ignored to give out the giant help in time, contrary to the sound, elementary wisdom "A stich in time saves nine". Five million kriya initiations 1500 years ago could have hindered many wars, by repercussions till now".
The possible blue-prints of the hanky-panky, maybe rooted in deep childhood experience. Here is the place for Freudian analyses with circumspection. [No 6]What did you think of that ignored the inner "I am" inside, or the still small organismic feel against idolatry in the name of Hare Krishna? What torture since childhood lowered your inborn self-esteem as an image of God that way? If you can stand focus on the dominant behaviour episodes that function inside the "merciful rigmarole" set up on your behalf, maybe you can find out. If the eyes of inspection inside yourself are blinded by bigotry and fears, maybe taming smaller ones is no help either.
Likely advantages of the game are the more or less spineless gains the players get from playing it or getting along with it. Among the advantages there are internal and psychological ones. [No 9]In Grimm tales it is often portrayed that giants do not behave much like normal friends. They get too easily offended, and all that. The best way of interaction is to bulwark against them, to avoid losing control in the forest of the mind inside - maybe so.
If poor tailors or others get along with grim giants or savants, it's for ulterior purposes. What are yours? What do you hope for? To be perenneally helped and enlightened for next to nothing, is often it. In other words, you are likely to be driven by excessive greed of accomplishment and gains - and can be sly at heart.
If verbiage giants are all-knowing, I suggest you see if they have noted your dominant greed streaks.
An analysis diagram of the game is fit only here, at this stage of discernment. diagrams of the TA kind are for short-circuiting the moves in the deep game. [No 7]Führers of tense sects may not allow close inspection. They have other steps of interactions to adhere to. Such steps may be likened to strokes (a TA term) in common social interactions or rituals. [No 8] The steps may leave you in ruin later. And here is the big whale assumption: The bigger they are, the more they have to eat.
Gross player advantages, if any (2)
The advantages of gigantic buddies is the strenght of such a liason.Your neglected dire needs for good parent figures or buddies from childhood are hopefully not ruined by master giants that come remarkably close to invented buddies that children make up in their isolation and loneliness. By that you may get outsmarted if trickery is dominant and not true friendship from the giant side.
Your postition or over-riding attitude may just be: "Me helped, me helped" over and over, instead of finding a good vocation and making plenty of hay while the sun shines your way.
Some likely payoff of the game, including the over-all purpose. [No 3]You may feel you are a part of an over-all plan, or a wonderful self-help salvational movement. And there is a chance you are ignored higher up. I found that to be the case for me. Others may feel differently about it. I know what I see.
Some positions that must be filled for being with the other parties in the same "tent". Here the shared "tent" of involvement can be narcissism. [No 4]The wants and wishes at the back of assumed positions as giants, may be huge - correspondingly large. Maybe your task in the complementary "fabric or texture" of the Guru Garden is to behave like a klutz, not a man. it is to be feared that the bigger the other party, the more you have to make yourself dwindle, to give the other party its high esteem. It can be that way.
Note further that there is no divinity in the old Aryan sources, that Vedanta has no God high up, and not samkhya philosophy either. Maybe the concept "God" is for fishing, maybe it is an outcome of limited tact. Suspect the worst, so that the evil consequences do not get a chance to find you welcoming them.
Bland irreverence versus the greatest otherness-topdog you hear of may be more fit that you dreamt of. Vaishnavism with its Krishna charade, is marked by what Dr. Martin Buber alleges to as you-ness, whereas the internal parts of a budding "I am" can grow into Yahweh. it is possible. It's an insider tradition, and Kabbalah is also involved here. [Jod].
Instead of yodeling "One-eyed giants (Cyclopes) or a foreign God is high" you could think of "Be still and know I am God". it is a hint against master slam idioms that serve otherness and involvement that in the end may make you crawl, due to bluffs over and over. Giants may be for that, according to plan. There is reason to fear it.
Unsound psychological and parapsychological motivations that may be hinted at as drives inside the odd hanky-panky [cf. Edit] [No 5]Your needs have to be "I must be aligned to great ones or starve one way or another".
Be as murky as you can yourself, to avoid that giants make and end of your deep assets. Being murky forms part of the daoist maneuvre. [D 15].
You have to stay rustic to preserve deep, long-range biological assets from the past - I suggest that.
Two
TACK
Offset aspiration: behave well as the giant decrees, or . . . (3)
In Norse mythology god Tor was accompanied by the running athlete Tjalve - a counterpart to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita in many ways. You want to accompany jolly giants and next be turned into one. Never has the need been greater . . . so they say.Your over-riding drive could be to accomplish great things in your own right, as yourself. You have to be stern for it and think well, cogently and without strange gestures, with a decent locus of control. That's often overlooked.
Some dire need that's mocked or bulwarked against
To be one among equals may have been harvested. Or you can have been outsmarted beforehand.Be smart or true and think a lot for yourself so as to get to grips with understated maneuvres or undercutting tactics brought in the open (4)
It pays to be smart, but not against the jolly, helping giant or kind father.Possible shots across your bow -
Blue-prints from the depths of childhood may make you "forget" (read: repress, suppress etc.) that if the giant is a man-catcher or fisher of men, your part is to be given bait, or be wailing inside one net, and soon dead in some way or other. There are many ways to get attacked and outsmarted outside this as well, if you ignore "seeing is believing" and "believe as little as possible to avoid getting on the hook".TOE
Caught - how or how strongly. (5)
The secretly stupid man turns non-colloquial and strives not to rot inside. Jesus hated many such fellows, and said the truth was barred them.What's at stake?
Your higher conscience cannot be a genuine buddy to totem narcissism here.Great mistakes over and over are not at random, but can serve some underhand scheme that's hard to mock. (6)
Gurus may laugh of you in secret places, no matter what you think.The most classical example of similar tyranny, if any
Maybe European and Arab folklore do not have any fully sufficing one.What secret aggressiveness could be at the bottom of the ouvertures? (7)
Here you have to act on suspicion and over-riding hunches. Not all masters are looked on as dangers by me. Not all those who croak are frogs. The other party's task is to catch you, not just to tame you by bully decrees, rigmarole sets and stupidity to look at. In Norse mythology the big bad wolf - the biggest ever - was kept tied by nonsense things, glaupne-band. [Ng: "Fenris"].The Norse ideation here is that nothing manages to bind and control animal instincts as much as nonsense and drivel. Advanced brainwashing camouflaged as religious canon can illustrate enough of it. To get caught and herded by word-operant conditioning is to let the possible Yahweh-image you are, be highly offended, to say the least. Maybe the lark and lively woman has it better.
To offset nonsense decrees, operate on similar wave-lengths to explode or undermine or weaken the antagonist's impressions.
To falter into sychoanalytical stuff with tact may serve as a good help, but bulwarking is better than being abducted and tormented - sort of.
Bulwark better - by looking up lessons derived from some history sector. (8)
This cannot be done outside Guruism in general, as the features of it differ much. But maybe it is the Oriental Jesus the peoples of Europe want to crawl for on their knees - maybe it is his sayings they get the complementary "kicks" from, aided by lots of well dressed bigwigs, barons, popes, kings and the like. If so, it reflects a deep mentality problem, lack of self-assuredness is felt to be just under the pompous surface.Here is how to get out of the giant escapade
You can use these surveys to "hammer out" your own way of solving this and
that, at least for the time being.
Anyway, it pays to live well. There is more than one way to do it. Here is how to
solve the dilemma: Think of yourself as an ant, and the master giants more as dominant
whales that may feed on ants like yourself. Laozi: "The sage treats the people like straw
dogs (he sacrifices them)." [D 7] Maybe the master giant has to be ruthless or molest
much for his living, much like the good fisher elsewhere. It could happen.Reverse the downgrading action step by step if you can - as above, before you get turned into an underdog for some giant up in the skies, like the giant in the delightful classic tale "Jack and the beanstalk". It deals with handling cosmic giants "up there" to win the day: Go for their assets and end up at home. ["oak-tree"].
At any rate, stop being one of the victims of charade where giants and giant concepts pop up.
