MONTEISMS II

In case you haven't looked at or read my first set of Monteisms, I want to tell you that my Monteisms are emprical nuggets of wisdom that I have gleaned from my environment. There is no original material here. It has all been said by many others many times before and in many different ways. So all I have done is add my own unique twist from my own perspective. Even though the wisdom has many sources I am fortunate that when I happened across one of these nuggets I was at least cognitive enough to recognize its value and immediately add it to my collection.


Basically, my Monteisms are me giving myself counsel and I decided that I wanted to share them with whoever might want to read them.

- Don’t resist anything and that includes resisting the action of resisting. And if you should become aware that you are resisting something replace the resistance with admiration. Admiration is a wonderfully effective solvent. Indeed, it is so powerful that you don’t even have to actually feel the admiration for it to work. Just emanating a pretense of admiration will be effective.

- Be willing to experience anything. This includes being willing to experience being wrong. People do not like to be wrong. This is so much the case that a person doing something wrong will continue doing it so as to not admit that they’re wrong. And people will go to great lengths to make others wrong so they can be right.


- Be willing to allow others to be what they are being when they are being what they’re being. If they are being something that is very disagreeable to you then just emanate (flow) admiration to what they are being. For example, if they’re being a jerk admire what a great job the person is doing at being a jerk or jerkett. In fact, any unwanted condition you may have, any point of resistance regarding anything, just start admiring it and its force on you will diminish and if you do a real good job you just might eradicate it from existence. That’s how amazingly powerful admiration is.

- Intend, without any doubt or reservation, that if a negative, regardless of the magnitude, happens to come your way that you will always be able to successfully convert it into a positive that will serve your best interests.

- Always be willing to have and not have with equanimity. There are many people that think they have things; and there are some people that would include other people as their things, but if these things are suddenly, for whatever reason, eradicated they plunge into despair or worse. So, in truth, they did not really have these things after all. Instead, the things had them. So, if you cannot equally not have what you have....then you don't really have it. It has you.

- There is no such thing as "The Best" as an absolute. But there are infinite gradient steps of better and better and better... Conversely: There is no such thing as "The Worst" as an absolute. But there are infinite gradient steps of worse and worse and worse.... This is called Infinity-Valued Logic where there are no absolutes attainable but only degrees-of. In other words, no matter how incredible something becomes, it can always be even more incredible. Then, on the other hand, no matter how horrible something is, it can get even worse.

- A group that is strong, enduring and effective is a group that is aware enough to recognize the value of and, is intelligent and adept enough, to tap into and utilize, to the maximum, the immense creative abilities of the individual in such a way that the integrity of both the individual and the group is enhanced.

- Ordinary individuals working together as an organized team toward a common goal can accomplish extraordinary results.

- It is not necessary for us to try and reinvent the wheel. We only need to be creative on coming up with new ways in which to use it.

- Accentuating the positive and maintaining a positive attitude is not only easier but is far more remunerative than focusing on the negative.

- You can always judge how good and valuable something is by how much resitence it gets. The more resistence the better it is. We are on a downward spiral that is progressively transporting us into darker depths. It is a strong current indeed. Attempting to do anything that will in some way better a condition is going against the current of mass agreement and will be resisted and attacked. Beware of anything that is touting itself to be for the good that is not encountering resistence. That is a big RED flag vigourously waving!
