A Commentary on Attitude

"IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH . . . "

Few realizations are more sobering than the disastrous effects of an unrecognized attitude.  Whether the attitude is conscious or not, the effect of an attitude upon human reactive behavior is as binding as law.

For example, imagine the endless series of consequences and effects of retaining the attitude of, "They don't know what they're talking about".  This specific, unchallenged attitude alone, can and does destroy millions and millions of relationships, world-wide. 

This mutually debilitating attitude of, "They don't know what they're talking about", has the dubious ability to destroy both parties at the same time.  For the person who holds such an attitude, the attitude feeds their own illusory sense of superiority, while at the same time, this attitude invalidates the reality of the "other" person.  After all, if "other" people don't know what they're talking about, only a fool would actually bother to listen to them.

Just retaining the attitude that other people don't know what they're talking about can destroy a psycho/spiritual life just as fast as a bullet to the head.

Esoteric Psychology:
Work Principle:  The higher acts on the lower to actualize the middle.  Therefore, the mind works on (by going against) the body to actualize the emotions.  In Work terms, the Work Knowledge is applied through aim and effort upon the mechanical nature of the body to awaken the soul from her slumber in imagination (egotistical identification with the affairs of this world).
