May you celestially celebrate the 5th BEYONDIST BOMBSHELL!

SUMMARY on how to UNRAVEL an ORDERLY LIFE

  1. SURELY, you may not be a celebrity, but you reserve the right to celebrate and sing the joy of your LIFE.
  2. UNINHIBITED, all the HIGHS of your LIFE must be COLOURED, and all the LOWS should be LIFTED up.
  3. MOVING past all barriers, your LIFE must be preserved and appreciated in full-scale AUTHENTIC copy.
  4. MAKING yourself realistically relevant is one way of espousing a personal philosophy of IMMORTALITY.
  5. ASSUREDLY, we live in a world that is BEYOND our control, and LIFE is in a constant flux of CHANGE.
  6. READILY, lamentations are manifestions of our incapacity to comprehend the march of modern history.
  7. YOU should not CRY over the shots you have missed, but WEEP over the ones you have not taken at all.
  1. UNTIL you appreciate that there is so much in LIFE you cannot control, will you embrace all adversities.
  2. NOW and then you will experience illness and physical pain. You will go through separations with people.
  3. REALLY, you will face failures from your own mistakes and the nasty malevolence of your fellow humans.
  4. AND your task is to accept these moments, for the opportunities to sharpen and strengthen your PSYCHE.
  5. VEERING on the side of TRUTH, you affirm LIFE itself, accepting all of its possibilities and crude realities.
  6. EVERYTHING happens for a reason, and it is up to you to glean the lesson – always see events as fateful.
  7. LOVE that which happens of necessity – do not merely endure it. Just want nothing to be other than IT IS.
  1. ONLY when you realise that everything is within your POWER, will you USE all the POWER within you.
  2. ROBUST imagination is a TIMELESS possibility. You DO attract to you what you have always imagined.
  3. DETERMINATION grounded on a clear order of rank of values, coupled with clear outlook, is a miracle.
  4. EVERY thinker since the era of Jesus knows that, where there is WILL, there is a balcony of possibilities.
  5. REALISTICALLY, it is our core CHOICES, which show what we TRULY are, far more than our ABILITIES.
  6. LOVING others is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves.
  7. YOU will GET what you expect in LIFE. Expect great things in LIFE. Live your best and beautiful LIFE.

May you gainfully get the 5th ILLIMITABLE INSPIRATION!

When dealing with critics always remember this:
Critics judge things based on what is outside of their content of understanding.
In the general society, some people may criticise you.
They may dismiss you, or falsely accuse you.
But your SELF-AWARENESS will make you not to loose your self-esteem or positive self-concept.
Do you then require a subtle standard upon which to gregoriously gauge yourself?
Here is your MEANINGFUL MANDATE:

  1. MANIFESTATIONS of the same LIFE force, are all forms of knowledge. The problem with most people is that they build artificial barriers around subjects and ideas. As a BLESSED BEYONDIST you will be able to see the connections, grasp the essence of the LIFE force operating in every individual instance.

  2. AWAKENED in the subtle matters of LIFE, why should any individual stop at poetry, or find art unrelated to science, or narrow his or her philosophical orientations, or limit his or her political interests? The mind was designed to connect things, like a loom that knits together all of the threads of a fabric.

  3. NATURALLY, if LIFE exists as an organic whole and cannot be separated into parts without losing a sense of the whole, then thinking should make itself equal to the whole. To understand people, issues and ideas you MUST critically consider various insights and step BEYOND them. But you should first cleanse your perceptions of all prejudices, assumptions and predigested theories.

  4. DILIGENT as we should, it is vital to understand that we can never really experience what other people are experiencing. We always remain on the outside looking in, and this is the cause of so many misunderstandings and conflicts. But the primal source of human intelligence comes from the development of mirror neurons which gives us the ability to place ourselves in the skin of another and imagine their experience.

  5. AVAILING yourself to a thorough and continual exposure to people and by attempting to think inside them, you will gain an increasing sense of their perspective, but this requires effort on your part. Our natural tendency is to project onto other people our own beliefs and value systems, in ways in which we are not even aware.

  6. THOUGHTFULLY studying new PEOPLE, ISSUES or IDEAS, entails a thorough use of our empathic powers. By participating deeply, we can begin to overcome various natural projections and arrive at their core reality. To do so we must overcome our great fear of the Other and the unfamiliarity of new ways. We must enter their belief and value systems, their guiding myths, their way of seeing the world. Slowly, the distorted lens through which we first viewed them starts to clear up.

  7. ENTRENCHING yourself and going deeper into their Otherness, feeling what they feel, you will discover what makes them different and learn about Human Nature. This applies to ideas, cultures, individuals and even writers of books. As Nietzsche once wrote: “As soon as you feel yourself against me you have ceased to understand my position and consequently my arguments! You have to be the victim of the same passion.

clarion call

May you felicitously face the 5th phase of DILIGENT DIMENSIONS

Culturally speaking, we live in momentous times in which values are in a ferment. Our generation is cursed with the anguish of moral conflict and blest with an unprecedented opportunity for major reconstruction. How shall we train and mobilize our minds and souls for this confrontation? The concern of every sane and thoughtful human with what LIFE is about boils down to, “What am I?”, “Where am I?”, and “What ought I to do?”. The last question, which most distinguishes man from the lower animals, introduces moral values, which are the center of all values. For the highest type of homo sapiens, no question is so important as that of the moral purpose of LIFE; and the deepest happiness is achieved only through some understanding of it.

The 1st Dimension of BEYONDIST ‘BEING’
Being - in – the – World #v
Being Rooted in Meaning

“Understanding is not the methodical application of rules,
but the event of being affected and transformed by a horizon other than one’s own.”
— German philosopher of the continental tradition Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900 - 2002)

In Truth and Method (1960), Gadamer a student of Heidegger develops a hermeneutic philosophy that emphasizes our historical and linguistic situatedness—how understanding arises from “being-in-the-world” as part of a tradition. Let’s go BEYOND the TEXT by authoring a reflection simplifying Gadamer’s idea of “Being-in-the-World”, aligning it with self-actualization, the African Renaissance, and the vision of BEYONDISM.

(SEVEN articles [each in 7 lines] on developing purposeful INSIGHT about LIFE)

    3. SELFHOOD is shaped in the dance between story, question, symbol, and strife.
    4. In every ENCOUNTER, I engage meaning — not just absorb like passive archive.
    5. Genuine knowledge grows from shared memory, not from ideas that simply arrive.
    6. History speaks through language — not dead TEXT, but living TRUTH we revive.
    7. To actualize AFRICA, I must learn and listen deeply, not just theorize or contrive.

    1. I carry traditions not as compulsive chains, but as HORIZONS through which I see.
    2. No human begins LIFE with a blank slate — ROOTS guide what TRUTH can be.
    3. Self-actualization includes interpreting our past, not fleeing or pretending to be free.
    4. In my worldview, ancestors whisper — inviting me to reflect, question, and agree.
    5. Generations of silence now demand VOICE — demanding justice in dignity’s plea.
    6. Heritage is not cast in stone, not fossilized — it grows as I interpret it consciously.
    7. To go BEYOND, I must reorient, and reimagine our LEGACY as living philosophy.

  3. Soulful Fusion of Horizons
    1. I meet other individuals not to subdue and conquer, but to EXPAND WHO I AM.
    2. No TRUTH is mine alone — real understanding comes when cultures calmly exam.

    4. In merging worldviews, we find meaning — not sameness, but harmony’s diagram.
    5. Growth, transformation begins when I see the world not as threat, but as a jolly jam.

    7. To build a new progressive and scientific AFRICA, I must let our visions reprogram.

  4. Intimate Language as World

    2. No specific word is EMPTY — every phrase carries history, echo, struggle, and storm.
    3. SELFHOOD is linguistic — to BECOME is to express, to speak, name, and transform.
    4. In language, I give solemn shape to humor, love, suffering, pain, and all that is warm.
    5. Grammar becomes a tool of emancipation — BEYOND mimicry, and colonial norm.
    6. Healing begins with reclaimed voice — each proverb, mantra, chant, and poem reform.
    7. To rise, I must celestially speak AFRICA — boldly, in our own ceremonious perform.

  5. Genuine Dialogue as Truth
    1. I do not own TRUTH — I approach it only through deft dialogue that’s real.
    2. No wisdom comes from monologue — only when I listen does insight reveal.
    3. SELF grows when challenged — not by echo chambers, but by friction I feel.
    4. In dialogue, I venture, I risk, RETHINK, and reforge what I think or conceal.
    5. Generous discourse makes ideas breathe — it heals more than sword or steel.
    6. Harmony is born from tension faced, reconciled, not smoothed away with zeal.
    7. To move BEYOND, I must meet others as equals — seeing TRUTH as our seal.

  6. Horrendous Prejudice Reconsidered
    1. I do not strive to erase all BIAS — I meditate, reflect and refine what’s within.
    2. Not all PREJUDICE is evil — some are opulent openings for wisdom to begin.
    3. SELF-awareness includes reviewing what I assumed, what I buried under skin.
    4. In every assumption lucidly lies a CHANCE to shed illusion or let TRUTH win.
    5. Grounding myself means choosing meaning — not inherited lies wrapped in spin.
    6. Heritage is questioned not to debase, disdain, or destroy, but to help healing begin.
    7. To ACTUALIZE Africa, I must fondly filter history through a liberating lens again.

  7. Truthful Being as Belonging
    1. I EXIST not in seclusion, or lone isolation — I belong to a world that speaks.
    2. No identity survives alone — it blossoms where memory and encounter peaks.
    3. SELFHOOD is co-created — it arises where love, history, and longing leaks.
    4. In this world, I don’t just mechanically live — I interpret what TRUTH seeks.
    5. Growth means anchoring deeply, while reaching where no DREAM yet peeks.
    6. Home isn’t return — it’s a formidable fertile future our spirit uniquely tweaks.
    7. To go BEYOND, I must belong and bloom — where AFRICA’s soul re-speaks.




















The 2nd Dimension of BEYONDIST ‘BEING’
Being - with – Others #v
The Mirror that Answers: The Mutual Flame of BEYONDISM

“Mutual recognition involves a dynamic interplay of giving and receiving,
where both self and other acknowledge each other as subjects,
rather than as objects to be controlled or possessed.”
— American psychoanalyst known for her contributions to psychoanalysis
and social thought Jessica Benjamin (born 1946)

In psychoanalysis, Benjamin reworks Object Relations Theory to emphasize the bidirectional nature of subjectivity. Self and other co-create identity through reciprocal acknowledgment, moving from dominance to relationality. Below is a poetic interpretation of Benjamin’s idea of “Being-with-Others”, especially through her concept of mutual recognition—where both self and other are subjects, not objects. This vision is reframed as a philosophical foundation for Self-Actualization, African Renaissance, and the aspirational arc of BEYONDISM.

    7. Love becomes a laudable lasting legacy when BALANCE is displayed.





















The 3rd Dimension of BEYONDIST ‘BEING’
Being–with–in–Motion #v
Becoming-Fields: In the Light of Individuation, toward Rhythmic Future

“The individual is not a closed being, but a process of individuation in continuous relation
and exchange with its milieu, always becoming through motion.”
— French philosopher best known for his theory of individuation
and his work on the field of philosophy of technology Gilbert Simondon (1924 – 1989)

Simondon emphasizes that BEING is a dynamic, ongoing process shaped by interactions and movement. He argued that individuals are not static but formed in processes of individuation, always co-emerging with the world—Being-with is ontologically dynamic and incomplete. The core of his argument that human existence is not a static self-in-isolation, but a relational process unfolding in time and motion—deeply aligns with the BEYONDIST view of co-becoming and transcendent relationality within larger cultural or cosmic arcs.

    6. Real ACTUALIZATION lucidly listens where the new is candidly coming.

Being - para – Absurdity #v
Restore the Dwelling: Homecoming in the Face of Nothingness

“Whoever comes to terms with death frees himself from the crowd and the they-self.”
— Martin Heidegger

Martin Heidegger did not explicitly use the term “Absurdism,” but his philosophy addresses existential themes that relate deeply to the absurd—especially the confrontation with NOTHINGNESS and authentic BEING. The above quote points to embracing one’s finite existence (the “being-toward-death”) as a way to live authentically amid the absurd condition of LIFE’s ultimate uncertainty and meaninglessness. It’s about confronting the void to restore personal freedom and SELFHOOD.

(SEVEN articles [each in 7 lines] on how to RESTORE meaningfulness in your LIFE)

  1. Rooted in the Question of BEING
    1. Return to the gregarious ground of the question—what does it MEAN to be an AFRICAN?
    2. Even ABSURDITY dissolves before BEING’s mystery—prior to systems, BEYOND definitions.
    3. Standing within BEING, not above it, we wait—not for simplified answers, but for NEARNESS.
    4. To SELF-ACTUALIZE is to ask, again and again, what TRUTH breathes beneath IDENTITY.
    5. Our ESSENCE is not a thing—it is an opulent opening, a benevolent BECOMING into PLACE.
    6. Remember: we are not entities first, but HUMANS—Being-there, among others and the world.
    7. Even in ABSURDITY, BEING calls us to lucidly listen, decisively dwell, and disclose the REAL.

  2. Encountering the NOTHING
    1. Real freedom begins when we formidably face the NOTHING—not with fear, but fidelity.
    2. Even the ABSURD is a prudent path—if we solemnly stand fondly firm in groundlessness.
    3. SELF-actualization means not escaping void, but solidly standing in it as TRUTH unfolds.
    4. To be is to audaciously face the ABYSS and find purpose, value, and meaning in the FALL.
    5. Our Renaissance cannot be built on illusions—but on authenticity born through nothingness.
    6. Rooted not in DENIAL, but in COURAGE, we majestically move through dread into BEING.
    7. Even despair becomes FRUITFUL when it duly discloses what LIES beneath all distractions.

  3. Solemn Time and Authentic Becoming
    1. Real SELFHOOD emerges not from labels, but from time—our own potential for becoming.
    2. Even ABSURDITY loses power when we surely seize the moment with authentic intention.
    3. Staying vindictively inauthentic is foully forgetting that TIME is finite and BEING is urgent.
    4. To LIVE functionally fully is to ontologically own DEATH as mirror, teacher, and boundary.
    5. Our AFRICAN future must be substantially shaped not from fear, but from temporal TRUTH.
    6. Refuse the troubling trance of “they”—STAND instead in resolute projection of your BEING.
    7. Even ABSURDITY filthily fades when TIME is holily held as SACRED unfolding of SELF.

  4. Take Language as the House of BEING
    1. Reclaiming our tongues is more than cultural—it is metaphysical, existential resistance.
    2. Even silence speaks when radically rooted in the MOTHER-sounds of ancestral breath.
    3. Speech is not mere utility—it therapeutically reveals BEING, world, and the SACRED.
    4. To rename is to re-world; language is robust REVOLUTION at the level of ESSENCE.
    5. Our words must DWELL—housing memory, vision, identity BEYOND imposed names.
    6. Renaissance begins with new SPEECH—carved from soil, sung in storm, soft in SOUL.
    7. Even ABSURDITY cannot DWELL where true language returns to sing BEING home.

  5. Openly Dwelling in the World
    1. Rootlessness is a wound—the ABSURD thrives where beings forget how to dwell.
    2. Even progress without presence becomes machinery; it estranges us from the world.
    3. SELF-actualization requires return—not to past, but to PRESENCE within the earth.
    4. To decisively, diligently dwell is to care, to build, to think with HEARTFUL grounding.
    5. Our Renaissance is not skyscrapers—but spaces that breathe memory, ritual, rootedness.
    6. Remember: to fully LIVE is not merely to EXIST—but to BELONG, to shape with care.
    7. Even ABSURDITY dissolves where BEING finds a home through thoughtful dwelling.

  6. Reveling Call of Conscience
    1. Real actualization begins when conscience whispers, pulling us from “they” into truth.
    2. Even ABSURDITY cannot silence that CALL—it cuts DEEPER than dread or doubt.
    3. Staying with the CALL is difficult—it demands we truly turn toward our possibilities.
    4. To heed it is to walk alone but not lonely, to candidly choose freedom over comfort.
    5. Our liberation is not FROM the world, but TOWARD it—through authentic response.
    6. Real ETHICS arise from being-responsible, not imposed rules or inherited morality.
    7. Even ABSURDITY ontologically obeys the QUIET authority of an awakened SOUL.

  7. Essential BEYONDISM as Open Clearing
    1. Return not to old gods, but celestially STEP into the clearing where BEING shines.
    2. Even the ABSURD must serve the LIGHT that REVEALS who we might BECOME.
    3. SELF-actualization in BEYONDISM is dwelling poetically—in reverence, resistance.
    4. To LIVE is not to master the world, but to open space for meaning and radical presence.
    5. Our AFRICAN Renaissance is not a mimicry—it is a nourished clearing of ESSENCE.
    6. Real BECOMING is attunement—not conquest, but resonance with the pulse of BEING.
    7. Even ABSURDITY becomes SACRED when we stand as STEWARDS of the opening.

Being-ready-to-hand #v
WELFARE of Illuminated Doing: The AFRICAN BEYONDISM of Presence

“When you are absorbed in your activity, the world shows up for you as meaningful in a way that doesn’t require you to think about it. This is Heidegger’s ‘ready-to-hand’.”
— American philosopher Sean D. Kelly (1971 – )

Kelly Explored human responsiveness to meaningful structures in the world. He articulated the concept of “Being-ready-to-hand” in terms of absorbed skillful activity and meaningful engagement. The above quote emphasizes that readiness-to-hand is not about conceptual reflection, but about being attuned to a meaningful world through skillful, unreflective involvement—where tools and objects disclose their purpose as part of a larger world of significance.

  3. Living through Meaningful Action
    1. What matters is not what we say, but how we handle the real.
    2. Even a calabash speaks wisdom when shaped with cultural zeal.
    3. Labor is language—every MOTION becomes a historical seal.
    4. Flow is achieved when mind and movement lovingly congeal.
    5. AFRICA’s rebirth celestially lies in acts we no longer conceal.
    6. Real selfhood is formed where ancestral rhythms are the wheel.

    4. Form becomes a SACRED function when MASTERY is shown.

Why is BEYONDISM effortlessly ECLECTIC, without being effetely ENIGMATIC?
Here is the 5th DIVINE DOSE to keenly keep your PSYCHE bounteously BOOSTED:

BEYONDISM walks many paths, but MOVES in one direction: toward the elevation of SOUL.

Readily Responding to the 5th BEYONDIST BELL

RUN swiftly! O gallant son or daughter of Africa.
Attaining a reasonable measure of excellence is costly.
But to reach and finally touch that place is exponentially rewarding.
The higher the stakes, the greater the demand for excellence.
And the greater the demand, the more expensive one becomes.
To give the best of your gifts, is to become the best version of yourself.
What happens to you that matters less, than the decisions you make.

TRULY, truly, to be potently precise and categorically concise in soulfully spreading the gallant Gospel of BEYONDISM, you must creatively combine all organisational and persuasive talents at your disposal with great, solemn subtlety. You must amicably appeal to a wide variety of AFRICANS by mixing an effective and carefully rehearsed speaking style with absolute sincerity and determination. You must purely propound our well researched, relevant, sound, and ardently appealing solutions to our people’s problems. However, practical and realistic in all dimensions and aspects, BEYONDISM CAUTIONS you to be CONSCIOUS of avoiding being simultaneously obsessed with deceptive fantastic ideals and blinded to reality by those visions.

1. As long as we yearn to be creative creatures!

The great affair in this world is ever continual movement,
The ocean of our mind is infinite in its breadth and width,
That to really contemplate it to be analogous to a throat,
Which surely chokes in the instance of trying to swallow,
A bigger bite which its limited diameter cannot contain,
Is like erroneously holding the most incredible assumption,
That we can fill to overflow Indian Ocean with our saliva.

Verily, it is only through an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE,
That we shall be able to sing the best and the sweetest song,
In genuine regard to the holistic use of our inherent powers,
As we joyfully thump and jump our feet upon the lofty carpet,
Of innovation and inventiveness, being totally consummated,
In the melodious divine dance of an enriching fertile future.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

1 >

2. When investment and saving is our guiding goal!

Unfortunate as it is, most of us are far much disgraceful,
Than the silly Biblical servant who was left ten pounds,
By his master, but kept the cash laid away in his napkin,
Ignored, refused to, or was unable to invest the money,
As we squander everything we earn, however little or much,
Thus watering down our dedication to multiply the money.
Which gives the irrefutable reason for our perpetual toiling.

Verily, the basic teachings of an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE,
Is that, we may not be higher-borns, enjoying an inheritance;
We may also not belong to particular line of any aristocracy.
But upon our willful individual efforts and focused orientations,
We may consciously elevate ourselves to the highest pinnacles,
And become personal saviours as well as others’ liberators.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

2 >

3. Upon feeling and behaving like a winner!

We should amass the necessary strength and willpower,
To accumulate the abundant intelligence of the instincts,
To ultimately rise above herd-mentality of timid masses,
Who are only good at carrying forward traditional mores,
Into the class which is the producer of variation and ideas,
Where new discoveries find their earliest shelter before,
They are spread by contagion to other ranks is our aim.

Verily, if we are to be missiles flying towards other shores,
Which is the core goal of an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE,
We have to be great despisers, disdainers and real haters,
Of the present gnawing state of wretchedness and delusions,
Which is at the same time to be great adorers and idolaters,
Of the honourable that is apt to sprout, germinate and grow.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

3 >

4. In regard to changing to the greater good!

The compass needle which should guide and direct us,
Is holding as our supreme volitional intrinsic motivation,
The persuasive, pervasive, inerrant, ‘fundamental principle’,
That, there can be no ‘absolute principle’ in this mortal LIFE.
The truthfulness which should be upheld as the highest value,
Is the experimental and experiential refutation of the dogma,
Of the infallible moral order or unchangeable scheme of things.

Verily, in the deceptive, shaky, cold earth of slothful taboos,
The indomitable volcano of an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE,
Erupts capriciously, horribly squelching heats of spontaneity.
The hot boiling lava of individual’s distinctive self-efficacy,
Flows scorching all soils and rocks of rigid submissiveness,
Changing and transforming all, in all sun rising and setting.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

4 >

5. On being magnets to attract others to our circles!

If we always keep our psychic gates, windows and vents,
Continuously and indiscriminately fully open and receptive,
Shutting not our feelings of finesse to nobody and to no one,
We should be guaranteed the remuneration and reciprocity,
Of society, existence, and the inexhaustible coffer of nature,
Whereby wealth and health, inclusive of energy and power,
Shall continue to fill the vessels of our bodies and minds.

Verily, if we make genuineness, congruence, and empathy,
To be the driving force and the supreme underlying impetus,
Of our purposes, inclinations, objectives, aims and projections,
We shall have provided the victims of harsh circumstances,
The sure knot for them to cling on and climb to their destiny;
A solid springboard for an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

5 >

6. On making others to believe in our ideals!

We should never at all lose our inner sense of self-respect,
Nor lay down our sense of honour in public or in private,
Neither fall under the bullish and awkward temptation,
To reap where we have not sowed or take others’ harvests,
By taking undue advantage of our powerful superior position.
With standard of rectitude oozing forth from our consciences,
We should be indebted to the severity of our judgment only.

Verily, we should be absolutely ashamed upon ourselves,
When the dice of probability luckily falls in our favour,
And should ardently pose the question; ‘Am I worth it?’
Before accepting any token of appreciation or of thanks.
In this way we shall have thoroughly ploughed the ground,
For planting the seed of an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

6 >

7. On being above board in our actions and motives!

We should in all circumstances desist from unseemly conduct,
Rather out of respect for our individually cultivated virtue,
Than for the strictures in the manner of DO’s and DONT’s,
Of external authorities, alien precepts and foreign compulsions,
Laid down forcefully, and awefully or deceitfully propagated,
In our scriptural books, legal documents or moral sanctions,
Which unsynchronises with our individual and social motions.

Verily, in the supreme magnanimous lavishness of our souls,
We shall require no charlatanic ceremonies or any bootlicking.
For we shall be courteously inclined to bestow and crown,
And desire not to take from others, or keep what is not ours.
In this way all the filthy weeds and pests will be kept at bay.
And the plant of an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE will thrive.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

Numinous Note #5

Surely, against past valuations where all beauty was banned,
An African Renaissance shall solidly rest on newly provoked,
Patterns of perceptions whereby all the magnificent qualities,
Shall overflow with zest and be elevated to the upper zenith,
As the overpowering, strong, persuasive and proud passions,
Shall be the core, hub, the center, the fulcrum of our LIFE.
Declaring a Witty Warfare on any militating force against us.

What WILL make us heroic?
Going out to meet at the same time our highest suffering and our highest hopes.

Life is a flower
So precious in your hand
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you


Please Mr. agony

So precious in your hand
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you

WHAT_IS_IT_IN_FOR_YOU?


A ‘GENERATION’ is defined by sociologists as a ‘cohort group’ that is born over a span of years – typically about twenty – and that shares characteristics, including some shared childhood and coming-of-age experiences, a set of common behavioural and attitudinal traits, and a sense of common identity. But how are generations formed? French positivist philosopher, who was a founder of sociology, Auguste Comte (1798 - 1857) suggested that social change is determined by generational change and in particular conflict between successive generations. As the members of a given generation age, their “instinct of social conservation” becomes stronger, which inevitably and necessarily brings them into conflict with the “normal attribute of youth” — innovation.

Hungarian-born sociologist Karl Mannheim (1893 - 1947) emphasised that the rapidity of social change in YOUTH was crucial to the formation of generations, and that not every generation would come to see itself as distinct. In periods of rapid social change a generation would be much more likely to develop a cohesive character. He also believed that a number of distinct sub-generations could exist. Mannheim sought to describe three elements making up a generation:

  • A shared temporal location (i.e. generational site or birth cohort).
  • A shared historical location (i.e. generation as actuality–exposure to a common period or era).
  • A shared socio-cultural location (i.e. generational consciousness – or ‘entelechy’).--->

In his use of the term Entelechy (a vital force that directs an organism toward self-fulfillment), Mannheim talked of “historical experience which has social reality as its vital center”.

We are therefore taken back to German philosopher Georg W.F. Hegel (1770 - 1831) who used the term Zeitgeist to denote ‘the spirit of the age or spirit of the time’. In other words it is the intellectual fashion or dominant thought system that typifies and influences the culture of a particular period in time. Hegel thus maintained: “No man can surpass his own time, for the spirit of his time is also his own spirit”.

Using wars and economic dislocations as the generation-defining events, sociologists have been able to discern various generations in the contemporary society (and which may serve as a common denominator in defining Africa’s diverse generational perspectives). In our context here we are going to narrow down on: Baby Boomers (1946 - 1964), Generation X (1965 - 1979), Generation Y (1980 - 1994) and Generation Z (1995 - 2010).

BEYONDISM hopes that you are not caught in the whirlpool of desperation like Roman poet Horace (65 - 8 BC): “What do the ravages of time not injure? Our parents’ age (worse than our grandparents’) has produced us, more worthless still, who will soon give rise to a yet more vicious generation.” On the contrary the Biblical words of I Peter 2:9, which echoes the main Old Testament covenant passage at Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:5-6) reflects you: “Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people.”

“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.”
So inspired U.S. president Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908 - 1973).
Assume that you are a GENERATION Y’er (born between 1980 - 1994).
BEYONDISM, uses SEVEN ways to paint a rough picture of GENERATION Y,
So that you can ‘Realistically Rate’ yourself,
On how you ‘Fundamentally Fit’ in,
As a measure of being DAUNTINGLY DIGITAL:--->


Decisively, some of the more common names for this generation are:--->


The Digital Generation, The Internet Generation, Nexters, Mosaics, Techies, Screenagers, Echo Boomers, Sunshine Generation, Bridgers, Millennials.


Indeed, Generation Y has been described by ‘New York Times’ as--->

entrepreneurial and, “a post-emotional generation. No anger, no edge, no ego”, looking primarily after their individual pleasure. They want the latest phone and they want the best job, even if they have not earned it. Their LIFE is a mess of unrealistic expectations. They are self-absorbed and are more likely to be narcissistic and not even know it. They spend more time getting ready in the morning than Generation X, and they spend more money on themselves as well, even when you factor in inflation.


Generation Y’ers, are also called the “Trophy Kids,” a term that--->


reflects the trend in competitive sports, as well as many other aspects of LIFE, where mere participation is frequently enough for a reward. It has been reported that this is an issue in corporate environments.


In the world of work, some employers are concerned that Millennials--->


have too great expectations from the workplace. Studies predict that Millennials will switch jobs frequently, holding many more jobs than Generation Xers due to their great expectations.


Trends toward members living with their parents for longer periods--->


than previous generations is paramount. As such Millennials are labeled as the boomerang generation or ‘Peter Pan’ generation, because of the members’ perceived tendency for delaying some rites of passage into adulthood, for longer periods than most generations before them.


Affirmatively, Generation iY is the younger part of Generation Y--->

that is being defined by technology, and notably the Internet. Thus we have the term Gen iY. This generation has literally grown up online. Theirs is the world of the iMac, iPod, iBook, iPhone, iTunes, iChat, iMovie, and the iPad. Gen iY is the first generation that does not need parents or leaders to get information because they have unlimited digital access to every kind of data that can be imagined.


Lately, “Just Google it!” has become the slogan. With great interest,--->


in the 90’s, social scientists began to report the outcomes of the younger Gen iYers and the tangible impact of the “iWorld” (the Internet) on their lives, which in some areas was creating a cause of great concern.



Outlined here are SEVEN parameters that precisely define ‘Generation Y’.
This also suitably serves as ‘Progressive Patterns’ of its era:
--->

  1. Iconic Technology: - Internet, Email, SMS, DVD (95), Playstation, XBox, iPod.

  2. Music: - Eminem, Britney Spears, Puff Daddy, Jennifer Lopez.

  3. TV and Movies: - Titanic, Reality TV, Pay TV.

  4. Popular Culture: - Baseball Caps, Men’s Cosmetics, Havaianas.

  5. Social Markers/ Landmark Events: - Thredbo Disaster (97), Columbine Shooting (99), New Millennium, September 11 (01), Bali Bombing (02).

  6. Purchase Influence: - No Brand Loyalty, Friends.

  7. Ideal Leaders: - Empowering, Collaborators.


Referring to the immortality he anticipates his poetry will confer on his name, Roman poet Horace (65 - 8 BC) exclaimed: “I shall not wholly die: some part of me will cheat the goddess of death.” Read this inscription from one of the obelisks Egyptian queen Hatshepsut (lived 15th century bc) had erected in the temple of Amon at Karnak, near Luxor:

Now my heart turns to and fro,
In thinking what will the people say.
They who shall see my monument in after years,
And shall speak of what I have done.

“Believe me, you who come after me!”
These are the solemn words of Roman poet Horace (65 - 8 BC).
“People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors.”
So said Irish-born British statesman and political philosopher Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797).
BEYONDISM seeks to paint the PROBABLE PICTURE of GENERATION X,
So that you can ‘COMPARE and CONTRAST’ yourself,
On how you ‘Diligently Distinguish’ yourself from your OLDER society members:--->


Pragmatically, Generation X is sometimes referred to as the ‘Lost Generation’. --->

In 1926 U.S. writer Gertrude Stein (1874 - 1946) heard the phrase une géneration perdue (“lost generation”) being used by a French garage manager abusing an apprentice, referring to World War I: “That’s what you are. That’s what you all are. All of you young people who served in the war. You are all a lost generation.”


It is in an era of two-income families, that Generation X came of age; a time of --->

rising divorce rates and a faltering economy. Women were joining the workforce in large numbers, spawning an age of “latch-key” children. As a result, Generation X is independent, resourceful and self-sufficient.


Categorically, in the workplace, Generation X values freedom and responsibility. --->

Many in this generation display a casual disdain for authority and structured work hours. They dislike being micro-managed and embrace a hands-off management philosophy.


Technologically Adept: The Generation X mentality reflects a shift from a --->

manufacturing economy to a service economy. The first generation to grow up with computers, technology is woven into their lives. This generation is comfortable using PDAs, cellphones, e-mail, laptops, Blackberrys and other technology employed in the legal workplace.


Unfortunately, many Gen X’ers lived through tough economic times in the 1980s --->

and saw their workaholic parents lose hard-earned positions. Thus, Generation X is less committed to one employer and more willing to change jobs to get ahead than previous generations. They adapt well to change and are tolerant of alternative lifestyles.


Realistically, Generation X is ambitious and eager to learn new skills but want to --->

accomplish things on their own terms. In Generation X, we can see a general trend in their orientations the world over, thanks to the onset of globalisation. They are highly educated, active, balanced, happy and family oriented.


Essentially, it is a generation whose world view is based on change, on the need to --->

combat corruption, dictatorships, abuse, and AIDS. It is a generation in search of human dignity and individual freedom, the need for stability, love, tolerance, and human rights, for all.


Outlined here are SEVEN parameters that precisely define ‘Generation X’.
This also suitably serves as ‘Progressive Patterns’ of its era:
--->

  1. Iconic Technology: - VCR (76), Walkman (79), IBM PC (81).

  2. Music: - INXS, Nirvana, Madonna, Midnight Oil.

  3. TV and Movies: - ET, Hey Hey It is Saturday, MTV.

  4. Popular Culture: - Body Piercing, Hyper Colour, Torn Jeans.

  5. Social Markers/ Landmark Events: - Challenger Explodes (86), Haley’s Comet (86), Stock Market Crash (87), Berlin Wall (89), Newcastle Earthquake (89).

  6. Purchase Influence: - Brand switches, Experts.

  7. Ideal Leaders: - Co-ordinating, Doers.

“In the transmission of human culture, people always attempt to replicate, to pass on to the next generation the skills and values of the parents, but the attempt always fails because cultural transmission is geared to learning, not DNA.” This is a bitter truth voiced by British-born U.S. anthropologist Gregory Bateson (1904 - 1980). Be in touch with your generation to the extent of being its VOICE, always aware like U.S. mathematician Norbert Wiener (1894 - 1964): “The world of the future will be an ever more demanding struggle against the limits of our intelligence, not a comfortable hammock in which we can lie down to be waited upon by our robot slaves.”

“A new generation grown to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken.”
How potent is this prophesy by U.S. writer F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896 - 1940)?
Seek to do something for posterity, without expecting posterity to do something for you.
Would you wish to appreciate the marked difference (in motivation and valuation),
Between you and the younger members of society?
BEYONDISM uses SEVEN ways to paint a rough picture of GENERATION Z,
So that you can ‘Essentially Empathise’ with their ability to CONTEXTUALLY CONNECT:
--->


Characteristically, Generation Z, may be referred to as--->

‘Postmodernism’, ‘Multiculturalism’, and ‘Globalisation’. Listen to Japanese business strategist Kenichi Ohmae: “In a borderless world, traditional national interest — which has become little more than a cloak for subsidy and protection — has no meaningful place.”


Outrightly, they are highly connected, having had--->

a lifelong use of communication and media technology like the world wide web, instant messaging, text messaging, MP3 players, and mobile phones, earning themselves the nickname ‘digital natives’.


Nourishing torelance earns them the name ‘plurals’,--->

which reflects that they are the most diverse generation the world over. “Business, with its global influence and its ability to adapt rapidly to changing conditions, has become one of the most effective vehicles for accelerating our self-conscious awareness,” so said U.S. business executive and author David A. Schwerin (1942 - )


Natively, ‘plurals’ exhibit positive feelings about--->

the increasing ethnic diversity of modern times, and they are likely than older generations to have social circles that include people from different ethnic groups, races and religions.


Endurance of unpleasant things, is a distingushing mark--->

of this generation. They are more likely to accept and deal with tumultous events without blameshifting or scapegoating. Addressing a graduating class at a university U.S. general and president Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969) had this to say: “Your business is to put me out of business.”


Coping with feelings and attitudes of other people,--->

make them to be optimistic, engaged, and team players. This is reflected in the words of U.S. business executive and author Peter M. Senge (1947 - ): “The entire global business community is learning to learn together, becoming a learning community.”


Their approach to social change is “pragmatic idealism,”--->

a deep desire to make the world a better place combined with an understanding that doing so requires building new institutions while working inside and outside existing institutions.


Outlined here are SEVEN parameters that precisely define ‘Generation Z’.
This also suitably serves as ‘Progressive Patterns’ of its era:
--->

  1. Iconic Technology: - MacBook, iPad, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Wii, PS3, Android.

  2. Music: - Kanye West, Rhianna, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift.

  3. TV and Movies: - Avatar, 3D Movies, Smart TV.

  4. Popular Culture: - Skinny Jeans, V-necks, RipSticks.

  5. Social Markers/ Landmark Events: - Iraq / Afghanistan war, Asian Tsunami (04), GFC (08), WikiLeaks, Arab Spring (11).

  6. Purchase Influence: - Brand evangelism, Trends.

  7. Ideal Leaders: - Inspiring, Co-creators.

American psychologist and philosopher Rollo May (1909 - ) was able to discern four stages of consciousness of self. The first is the Stage of Innocence before consciousness of self is born. This stage is characteristic of the infant. The second is the Stage of Rebellion in which individual seeks to establish some inner strength in his or her own right. The toddler and the YOUTH illustrate this stage, which may involve defiance and hostility. The third stage is Ordinary Consciousness of Self. This is what people refer to when they speak of a healthy personality. It involves being able to learn from one’s mistakes and live responsibly. The last stage of Creative Consciousness of Self, involves the ability to see something outside one’s usual limited viewpoint and gain a glimpse of objective TRUTH as it exist in REALITY. This stage is rarely achieved, and it is level that give MEANING to our actions and experiences.

As you transit from Innocence, to Ordinary Consciousness, towards Creative Consciousness, you are in a tumultous stage, that of Youth Rebellion. At this stage, you are apt to cause alot of hue and cry to parents, teachers, guardians, and the general society. It is the most confusing, frustrating, fascinating and challenging phase of human development. It is a period of conflict and growth. It is a period of Temporary Insanity, characterised by distortion of interpretation in regard to what is happening in the real world.--->

In one of the most persuasive statement in the history of thought, in the book Pleasures of Philosophy (1953), American philosopher and historian Will Durant (1885 - 1981) asserts:

It is the function of YOUTH to be keenly sensitive to new ideas, as possible means to the further conquest of the environment; it is the function of OLD AGE to oppose the new in a ruthless battle that tries the strength of the idea before society subjects itself to the experiment; it is the function of MIDDLE AGE to moderate the idea within limits of practicality, and to find ways for its modest realisation. Youth proposes, old age opposes, middle age disposes. Youth is romantic, and rightly so, imagination and feeling dominating it; old age is classic in its tastes, loving order and restraint more than passion and liberty; middle age hovers between the two, and weaves their values patiently into the pattern of achievement.

I f you wait passively for a saviour to sort you out, you will be disillusioned like U.S. writer and editor Theodore Roszak (1933 - ): “Revolutionary spirits of my father’s generation waited for Lefty. Existentialist heroes of my youth waited for Godot. Neither showed up.” However, if you seize the moment you will be able to sing like U.S. singer and songwriter Bob Dylan (1941 - ):

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand.

To burn always with hard, gemlike flame of BEYONDISM,
And to maintain this ecstacy, is success in LIFE.
In all practicality, you are in the MORNING hours of your LIFE.
The wheel of your ‘existence’ has not yet reached the half-cycle.
SEVEN SHADES which will make you an ASTOUNDING APOSTLE in your MORNING.
As far as the cycle of LIFE is concerned.
[Morning (birth - 35 years), Afternoon (35 - 50 years) and Evening (50 - death)]:

As you pass into the world,--->

petted (restricted, indulged, pampered or treated as a favourite) for years and now for the first time free, you will drink in the deep delight of liberty.

Proceeding from the age of--->

childhood when you unquestionably obeyed the precepts of your parents and teachers, NOW, you tend to bear law and order grudgingly; noise is your vital medium, and your blood makes you ‘a continuous intoxication’.

Orchestrating anything into a--->

pleasurable affair, your full heart flowers into song and dance; the aesthetic sense is nourished with the overflow of desire; music and art are born in you.

Superclass is your obsession;--->

you love the exaggerated, the limitless, because you have abounding energy and frets to liberate your strength.

Thrilling in experimentation,--->

you tend to love daring, adventurous and dangerous things, with the relic of a bigger-than-life superhero.

Lively and energetic, you are--->

never tired; you live in the present, regret no yesterdays, and dreads no tomorrow; you climb buoyantly a hill whose summit conceals the other side.

Eventually, as with charcoal fires--->

of the forest, it is only when you will have cooled down and have gotten charred, like these piles that you will become useful. As long as you fume and smoke, you are perhaps more interesting, but you are too often uncomfortable and useless.


“Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.”
- U.S. poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)

The world is a fine place and worth the fighting; you should very much hate to leave it.
“The generations of living things pass in a short time, and like runners hand on the torch of life.”
These are the words of Roman philosopher and poet Lucretius (94? BC - 55? BC).
There is no doubt that the MORNING hours of your LIFE will elapse,
And you will irreversibly enter into the AFTERNOON of your LIFE.
Consequently these are SEVEN ‘existential expectations’ to fulfill,
If you should have a WINNING WALK in this game of LIFE:
--->


Working out to give the best of yourself to the world,--->

you will be in the epoch of achievement and establishment. You will thrill in being an ornament to your profession.


Imbued in all necessary things, from the exhilaration--->

and exhaustion of YOUTH, LIFE will then give you the calm and pride of security and power; the sense of things not merely hoped for but accomplished.


No wonder then, partly, your increased conservatism--->

will be the result of intelligence, which perceives the complexities of institutions and imperfections of desire; but partly it will be the result of lowered energy.


Needless to say, those years will give you at last--->

a disciplined will, and the clarity of mind that illuminates and coordinates desire. Always remember these words of Tanzanian president Julius Kambarage Nyerere (1922 - 1999): “Freedom without discipline is anarchy; discipline without freedom is tyranny.”


In all measures, the great quality of this age then,--->

will be moderation; and your great peril will be mediocrity. Above all, too much zeal is lethal as Greek historian and biographer Diogenes Laërtius (lived 3rd century?) phrased: “As some say, Solon was the author of the apophthegm, ‘Nothing in excess.’”


Nibbling in the bud all impulsivity, how easy it will--->

be to relapse from effort into routine, from the vertical to horizontal LIFE! Be cationed by these words of Spanish-born U.S. philosopher, poet, and novelist George Santayana (1863 - 1952): “The working of great institutions is mainly the result of a vast mass of routine, petty malice, self interest, carelessness, and sheer mistake. Only a residual fraction is thought.”


Generally speaking, it is vital to remember that,--->

it is in work and parentage that you will find fulfillment and happiness. This will accrue to you upon realization that the cost of a thing, is the amount of LIFE which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.



“I have a bone to pick with Fate,
Come here and tell me, girlie,
Do you think my mind is maturing late,
Or simply rotted early?”
- U.S. humorist Ogden Nash (1902 - 1971)

“Age became middle: the habits
Made themselves at home, they were dressed
In quilted dressing-gowns and carried
A decanter, a siphon, and a tranquilliser.”
- Irish-born British poet Louis MacNeice (1907 - 1963)

Hungarian-born U.S. psychiatrist Thomas Szasz (1920 - ) left us with this insight: “A child becomes an adult when he realizes that he has a right not only to be right but also to be wrong.” In the gradual series of decisive encounters with the environment (the interactions between biological development, psychological capacities, and social influences), according to developmetal psychologists (distilling from research works of Erik Erikson (1963) and Daniel Levinson (1978)), it is apparent that you are in ‘EARLY ADULTHOOD’. At this stage, you have the capacity to initiate and maintain intimate relationships with others. Intimacy implies your commitment to relationships that offer mutuality, empathy, and reciprocity. It is important to note that these relationships need not be sexual in nature and can take the form of friendships with members of the same sex. Individuals who are able to initiate and sustain intimate relationships with others find satisfaction in their LIFE. Individuals who are unable to do so become Isolated. Isolation means that one is disconnected from others. As such, developing intimate relationships with others is a major developmental task for young adults and the most important factor in moulding personality growth during this period. Here are SEVEN ways to apparently anchor yourself in your COMPELLINGLY CURRENT developmental stage:--->


Compulsively faced by the ‘Psychosocial Prerogative’ of --->


making solid preliminary choices for adult LIFE, Young Adulthood is the novice phase of adult LIFE and may be subdivided into three periods: ‘Early Adult Transition’ stage (17 - 22 years), ‘Entering the Adult World’ (22 - 28 years) and ‘Age 30 Transition’ (on or about age 30)


Usually, in ‘Early Adult Transition’ stage you are presented--->


with two major tasks. The first task is to terminate adolescent LIFE structure. This termination is external (e.g. moving out of the family home) and internal (e.g. reduced emotional dependency on parents). The second task is to learn more about yourself and the world and form opinions about adult living.


Rendering yourself open to the ‘Entering the Adult World’ stage--->

of your psychosocial development, will enable you to make initial choices in love, occupation, friendship, values and lifestyles. After defining the adult world, you are under ‘existential’ compulsion to thoroughly explore and test out this world. After exploring available options and possibilities that serve to define you as an adult, you should strive to live with the choices you have made in your career, love relationships, lifestyle and values.


Riding on the wheel of ‘Age 30 Transition’, various changes are--->


bound to happen in your LIFE structure; either a moderate change, more often, a severe and stressful crisis. This period offers an opportunity to address mistakes you have made in the previous period and serves as a basis for LIFE structure that will be created in later stages. LIFE assumes a more serious, restrictive and realistic dimension.


Efficaciously navigating through this stage, ends a preparatory phase--->

of adulthood and you will enter ‘Settling Down’ stage which marks the end of early adulthood phase. This stage may be subdivided into two sub-stages; ‘Early Settling Down’ and ‘Becoming your own Individual’. In the ‘Early Settling Down’ stage, you are bound to curve your unique place in your society in regard to your potential and personality predisposition. Your key ‘Psychosocial Prerogative’ is to cultivate a sense of purpose and to pursue activities geared towards the achievement of that purpose in an organised manner.


Notably, in the second sub-stage, you should strive to succeed and--->


advance in whatever niche you have curved out. Thus ‘Becoming your own Individual’ involves improving your skills and competencies, building a better LIFE, responding to the needs of society and seeking the rewards that your society has to offer.


Thrusting yourself fully in your developmental stage, your most--->

critical challenge is to develop close and MEANINGFUL relationship with another person. Although sexual exploration may have preceded genuine interpersonal intimacy, it is only now that true genitality can flower with a mature orgiastic potency and freedom from pregenital or obsessive interferences. The other existential compulsion confronting you is to couple genitality with a general work productiveness. Of utmost importance, a balance is required. Clearly, genitality is an inadequate definition of health. On the other hand, your dedication to work or academic advancement should not be such that you lose or neglect the capacity to love and develop deep, committed relationship, for which you will suffer ‘Isolation’ as a result of self-absorption.



“Part of the reason for the ugliness of adults, in a child’s eyes, is that the child is usually looking upwards, and few faces are at their best when seen from below,” thus commented British writer George Orwell (1903 - 1950). “Problems reproduce themselves from generation to generation...I refer to this as a ‘cycle of deprivation’,” so affirmed British politician Keith Joseph (1918 - 1994). As we creatively craft our road towards the grave, do we then need to be the victims of a kind of SACRIFICE, which was outlined by British poet Rupert Brooke (1887 - 1915)?

These laid the world away; poured out the red
Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be
Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene,
That men call age; and those who would have been,
Their sons, they gave, their immortality.

“From the earliest times the old have rubbed it into the young that they are wiser than they, and before the young had discovered what nonsense this was they were old too, and it profited them to carry on the imposture,” thus noted British writer Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965). It was British churchman William Ralph Inge (1860 - 1954) who intimated: “I think middle age is the best time, if we can escape the fatty degeneration of the conscience which often sets in at about fifty.” BEYONDISM astutely affirms that your current behaviour will be to a very great extent determine how you will behave in FUTURE. If you are superbly true, optimally exhaustive and fully responsive to your current developmental stage, here are SEVEN ways as on how you will ROBUSTLY RESPOND to the next phase of your LIFE:--->


Reeling from Young Adulthood you will find yourself in--->

Midlife Transition, a period that occurs during ages 40 and 45. This period presents a set of developmental tasks to adults. A significant task is the assessment of one’s successes or failures in the previous stage (early adulthood). Questions such as “Who am I” and “Where am I Going?” become important. Individuals who are happy with their personal, social, and occupational accomplishment experience a new level of stability and LIFE satisfaction. The need for self appraisal occasioned by a heightened sense of one’s mortality, and the desire to use the remaining time wisely is imperative. Hence the second task is to initiate a new period that will address the negative elements of one’s current LIFE. This ushers in a new period of LIFE called Entering Middle Adulthood which occurs between ages 45 and 50.


Experiencing Individuation is the third task. Individuation refers--->


to a person’s relationship to him or herself and to the external world. The goal of individuation is to enable the person to deal with the polarities (opposites) that sometimes bring about conflict in a person’s LIFE. An example of these polarities is the young/old polarity in which an individual feels young in many ways and at the same time they experience a sense of aging. The developmental task in this case is to come to grips with both feelings. Listen to British writer George Orwell (1903 - 1950): “At 50, everyone has the face he deserves.”


Substantially, during middle adulthood, less emphasis is placed--->


on physical attractiveness and strength. Individuals increasingly value wisdom and often use it as a standard for evaluating oneself. One is able to appreciate like British poet William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850):

And yet the wiser mind
Mourns less for what age takes away
Than what it leaves behind.


People see others as individuals rather than as sex objects.--->

Hence, less emphasis is placed on sex and individuals increasingly value interpersonal relationships which are demonstrated through empathy, understanding, and emotional compassion. Relationships become broader, more social and less sexualized. Such a relationship will always want to spill, to share its glory with the world. In its pure manifestation, no action or behaviour is so mundane it does not seek applause. This kind of relationship my well be captured in the words of British prime minister and writer Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965), referring to cooperation with the United States, in a speech to the British Parliament: “Like the Mississippi, it just keeps rolling along. Let it roll. Let it roll on full flood, inexorable, irresistible, benignant, to broader lands and better days.”


Only those individuals who have flexibility, are able to shift--->

emotional investments from one person or activity to another. This flexibility enables the individual to cope with challenges such as loss of parents and friends, employment, empty nest phenomenon (children leaving home and living on their own), and other midlife stresses. Individuals must be able to reinvest in new relationships and activities. Individuals who lack emotional flexibility experience impoverished emotional lives since they are unable to invest their emotions in other people and activities. “If one is too lazy to think, too vain to do a thing badly, too cowardly to admit it, one will never attain wisdom,” so said British writer and journalist Cyril Connolly (1903 - 1974)


No wonder then, successful adjustment to middle age requires--->


mental flexibility that allows the individual to be open to new ideas, experiences and ways of doing things. Mental rigidity, or lack of flexibility enslaves the individual to outdated ways and ideas that may not be useful in the individual’s current circumstances. One is inspired by the words of English philosopher, statesman, and lawyer Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626): “A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.” Vitality of mind and zest of body are two esteemable qualities as English poet and playwright William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) discovered: “I never knew so young a body with so old a head.”


Decisively, although individuals in the middle years are powerful--->

and exert a great influence on society, society tends to make its greatest demands on the person during middle adulthood. Hence individuals in midlife must cope with their family life, work, social and civic responsibilities, and find time for leisure. Outlined here is a summary of SEVEN developmental tasks, which goes far in STEADILY SHAPING the middle adulthood:

  • Seek or even strive to achieve adult civic and social responsibility.
  • Hasten to establish and maintain a sound economic standard of living.
  • Aspire to develop adult leisure time activities (as distinct from youthful ones).
  • Positively assist teenage children to become responsible and happy adults.
  • Intimately relate oneself to one’s spouse as a person (not as an object).
  • Nurture, accept and adjust to the physiological changes of middle age.
  • Gainfully adjusting to one’s aging parents (attending to them unconditionally).



Talking about the Chiefs of Staffs system in November 16, 1943, British prime minister and writer Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965) lamented: “You may take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman, or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together — what do you get? The sum of their fears.” With a stout, hardened heart and sharp swords, the world will categorically continue to offer glittering pricey prizes to you. Such a high-density daringness alloyed to a double-dose nerve, was solemnly sung by French revolutionary leader Georges Jacques Danton (1759 - 1794): “Boldness, and again boldness, and always boldness!”

“Lord, deliver me from myself,” thus prayed English physician and writer Thomas Browne (1605 - 1682).
Self-directed WARFARE to lucidly liberate yourself from all MALADJUSTMENTS,
Factually forms the generous ground for your solid salvation and diligent deliverance.
A BLESSED BEYONDIST is a bounteous BRIGADIER with a thousand faces.
However, meticulously and merrily mastering all these faces sounds a bit daunting.
If you have all of these sides of your PSYCHE, how can you even begin to get a sure hold on them?
No less negotiate with them all successfully? Here is the BEYONDISM BRIGADE:--->


BASICALLY, to catalyse our SELF-ACTUALISATION, we hone in on a small set of those hundreds of faces. We call this the BEYONDISM BRIGADE. This is a top team, occupying our internal executive suite.--->


We also use more general names because their functions transcend professional titles.

REDEEMING ourselves from the jaws of Death, away from the mouth of Hell, by fighting with fortified determination in the cause of self-sufficiency, the BIG BEYONDISM BRIGADE four are:--->

  • The Chief Operating Officer, is your inner Dreamer.
  • The Chief Financial Officer, is your inner Thinker.
  • The Chief Logistics Officer, is your inner Lover.
  • The Chief Executive Officer, is your inner Warrior.
  • IN all measures and perspectives, these inner negotiators govern your capacity to dream about the future, to analyse and solve problems, to build relationships with people, and to take effective action. --->


    Each one enables you with its own skills, unique characteristics, and particular values about leading and living.

    GAINFULLY the DREAMER is led by intuition, and fuels your ability to innovate. The Dreamer sees a world full of possibilities. It senses opportunity to create something wonderful and entirely new. --->

    The THINKER is led by reason, and equips you to analyse and evaluate information. It entails sound judgment on complex issues. Political baggage aside, it means being first-rate economist who base monetary policy on hard data. The inner Thinker excels at challenges like managing interest rates and defining ways to control inflation.

    AMICABLY, the LOVER is led by emotion, and knows how to manage relationships. The Lover’s ability to get communication right is essential now to avoid a downward spiral in reactive global markets. --->

    The WARRIOR is led by willpower, and excels at taking action. In the work world, the inner Warrior steps forward to tell the hard truth, to take a stand for your values, and to roll up your sleeves to get things done.

    DESPITE the temptation to ask yourself, “Am I a Thinker?” or “Am I a Warrior?”, those are not the right questions. You have all of these inner negotiators in you. The right questions are: --->

    How does the BEYONDISM BRIGADE operate in me today? How do I tap more of their skills and inner wisdom in the future? How do I best balance them with each other, as four inner executives working as one team? In other words, how do I negotiate effectively with myself?

    EXISTENTIALLY, the most important BATTLE in your LIFE is “getting to yes” with yourself. When you learn how to do that, you will start winning at everything else. You will arouse an inner belief--->

    in your capabilities to organise and execute the sources of action required to manage prospective situations. As you continue perceiving yourself as highly effective and efficacious, you will continue to act, think, and feel differently from those who perceive themselves as ineffective and inefficacious. You produce your own future, rather than simply foretell it. Gaining insight into your underlying motives, it seems, is more like a belief conversion than a self-discovery process.

    If necessity is the mother of invention, then resourcefulness is the father. In this fast evolving world with some leaps of revolutionary breakthroughs in all sectors of human endeavours, the only durable constant is ‘Creativity’, which encompasses more than just social, political or scientific breakthrough and goes to include the application of these achievements to meet overall objectives of ‘Societal Self-Sufficiency’. For instance innovations and inventions have ignited China to unprecedented rise which has made the world to look at it in awe and admiration.

    “As the births of living creatures at first are ill-shapen, so are all innovations, which are the births of time.
    - English philosopher, statesman, and lawyer Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626)

    “Ask dumb questions. ‘How come computer commands all come from keyboards?’ Somebody asked that one first; hence, the mouse.”
    - U.S. management consultant and author Tom Peters (1942 - )

    “Creative imagination awakens early. As children we are all ‘makers.’ Later, as a rule, we’re broken of the habit; so the art of being a creative writer consists, among other things, in not allowing life or people or money to turn us aside from it.”
    - Swedish writer Stig Dagerman (1923 - 1954)

    “Invention is the process by which a new idea is discovered or created. In contrast, innovation occurs when that new idea is adopted.”
    - U.S. sociologist Everett Rogers (1931 - )

    “Innovation is a necessary condition for business success — but not a sufficient condition for business success.”
    - U.S. business executive Randall L. Tobias (1942 - )

    “Today in most fields I know, the struggle is about creativity and innovation. There is no script.”
    - U.S. business executive Robert B. Shapiro (1938 - )

    “I do not believe in the kind of art which has not forced its way out through man’s need to open his heart—all art, literature as well as music, must be created with one’s heart’s blood.”

    Psychologists have found that creative ability is distributed more or less equally among us. Apparent differences in creativity are really the result of how effectively each individual uses his or her resources.

    Romantic desire to flex our creative muscles, coupled with a sound understanding of how creativity works, is what amounts to being creative. You can easily become more creative if you simply put your mind to it.

    Understand that imagination and problem solving are essential to anyone who wants to be more and more creative because creativity is simply the ability to solve critical problems in imaginative and innovative ways.

    Day and day out many of the problems we solve are commonplaces as many of the solutions we employ. For instance, telling colourful stories, cooking a delicious meal are rarely examples of creative thinking.

    Each of us chooses which problems will tax our personal creativity. For the creative dancer the problem may be expressing movement and emotion with the human body. For an orator it is loftiness in expression.

    No human being with a sound mind lacks the capacity to solve a multitude of problems, quickly and easily. You have an inborn creative capability that can be exercised and strengthened just like physical abilities.

    To be creative, you must solve with imagination the problems you have decided are important to you; no matter what your goals or interests are. Consider the areas in your LIFE which you would like to be more creative.

    Misconceptions about creativity prevent many of people from being more creative. These erroneous ideals are based on the false and mistaken belief that only the chosen few are creative and the rest are mere mortals.

    Expectancy of never to match the achievement of the world’s great minds, is the unfortunate result of the type of negative thinking which discourages the majority of human beings from having creative aspirations at all.

    Almost everyone mistakenly equate creative ability with artistic ability. Yet artistic creations are only one form of creativity. There are many ways in which one’s creativity can be expressed. Artist output is just one expression of creativity.

    Skills of creativity and experience compliment each other. The inspiration phase of creativity is separate from the working out and the development of inspirations. The later relies on hard work, discipline and time to allow full expression of what one sees.

    Usually becoming more creative is not the same thing as learning a skill. It is true that greater creativity can enhance one’s efforts. Do not discount your creative ability when you may simply need more time to pay the dues of experience.

    Realistically, being intelligence does not guarantee a corresponding increase in creativeness. It is simply not true that the more intelligent person is necessarily the more creative ones. You may be creative by being a genius or averagely intelligent.

    Entrench in your PSYCHE the idea that from the time immemorial, the gift of creativity has been venerated almost as if it were divine. So it is your precise prerogative to unlock your divinity by unleashing your creative potential.

    Barriers to creativity are many, but the most critical is the fact that creativity is neither taught nor nurtured in our schools or our society. It is understandable we fail to realise our full potentials. Our natural creativity is ignored or repressed.

    Uncensored conformity enables our mind and culture to conspire against us. This conspiracy involves a number of roadblocks that keep you out of unexplored creative fields and in the fast lane of ego and society’s safe and sensible freeway.

    Sound and most important steps to greater creativity are to recognise and remove all blocks. They can take three forms: emotional, perceptual, and cultural. They must be solved before effective problem solving can take place.

    Trample the fear of appearing stupid, of making a mistake, of failing. Asking questions essential to creativity, means laying your ignorance out in the open. It entails risking ridicule or disfavor and coming right out and saying, “I do not know.”

    If you are not failing now and again, it is a sign you are playing it safe. Fear of making a mistake often paralyses you into doing nothing, which is a mistake in itself. Better to have a dozen of ideas and half of them to be wrong than have no idea at all.

    Now and then your frustration threshold is exceeded due to repeated failures and the nervous system takes over. Our behaviour is no longer controlled by our initial goal and it becomes difficult to solve a problem creatively.

    Generally when you are blocked by frustration, the best solution is to relax completely, physically and mentally. Then, in the next minute or the next day, begin again with fresh attitude and perhaps a fresh approach to the problem.

    Boring problems or those which do not challenge our abilities derail us from discovering our full creative powers. Without sufficient motivation we do not turn on our talents. Individuals who are convinced that they have no creative abilities do not even try.

    Anxiety in solving a problem, may lead to attacking it ineffectively. While concentrating on the solution, you may misunderstand the problem. Pressed for results, you accept the first workable answers as the best answer.

    Relaxed awareness is the blooming environment of creativity. Enthusiasm may blind you and make you overlook the obvious. If you find yourself attacking a problem too zealously, watch out. Slow down, back up and give yourself the necessary time to examine all aspects of the situation.

    Resist the tendency to be judgmental. Confronted with a new idea, the natural tendency is to point out its flaw. Creativity requires a positive outlook. If you want to be more creative, suspend your judgment for a while.

    Ideas builds on another and the flow of creativity pours unimpeded when you stop passing judgement. There will be plenty of time to evaluate the merits of each idea later. Without stopping to judge, your creativity can generate momentum.

    Entertain ‘deferring closure’. Shun the overriding need for orderly thinking, the compulsion to resolve the problem quickly, wrapping things up neatly with no loose ends. Allow your mind to be messy and incubate on a problem. From chaos creative ideas emerges.

    Receptiveness and openness to hold unresolved and sometimes conflicting information in your mind at the same time is what amounts to creative process. It is maintaining a state of unequilibrium (where everything is a jumble and nothing is coming clear).

    Stop falling in love with or committing to a good idea too soon. Keep on searching for other potentially superior solutions. Not all sparks starts fires. Healthy self-confidence is essential, but do not get so smug that you stop looking for new and better ideas.

    Understand a problem clearly and correctly. A poorly considered problem too often results in a poorly conceived solution. We are more likely to expend time and energy attempting to solve a problem (being solution-minded) before we are even sure what the problem is (being problem-minded).

    Confronted with a new problem, ask yourself if the problem/solution requires: a diagram, an equation or numbers, words (written or spoken), sounds (e.g. music), emotion (e.g. inspiration), time, physical change (e.g. movement), logic or intuition.

    Carefully examine all the variables of the problem. Is your creativity blocked by what seems to be a square-peg-in-a-round-hole? Ask yourself what the problem/solution looks/smells/feels/sounds like. Simply obey your senses.

    Expand your problem-solving repertoire. And be sure to exploit to their fullest the natural abilities you already possess. Be prepared to change your self-image if necessary to unblock some of your hidden talents.

    Surely, we are continually encouraged to be logical and discouraged from being irrational. To break through this cultural block, keep in mind: logic can solve problems but creativity often requires a ‘leap of imagination’, creative ideas do not make any sense; and an illogical idea may not be a bad one.

    Stop discounting your abilities for lack of credentials. Even if you do not have the advantages of advanced training, a very high level education, or superior intelligence this will not incapacitate you from coming up with a good and creative idea.

    Seek to be willing and able to play: with ideas, materials, and reality. Creativity is a kind of mental play. To be more creative, relax your grown-up inhibitions and let your mind to play more often. Do not be mistaken into believing that playing is simply for kids.

    Of all great unspoken commandments that directs many of our thoughts and actions is: “Thou shalt try nothing new.” While change for the sake of change is rarely creative, the creative individual is always open to new ideas. Also learn to convince others the validity of your ideas.

    Learning to clear obstacles is the first step to establish a frame of mind that is conducive to creative thinking. Nurture the kind of environment in which creative impulse is more likely to flower. Establish a positive mind-set. Assert the simple statement: “I am creative.”

    Volatility, being physically tense or mentally uptight is a crippling liability. Trying too hard to solve a problem only moves you further from the solution, making it even more difficult to grasp. Creative ideas must be allowed to emerge; they cannot be forced.

    Inhibitions to creativity are criticism and evaluation. Give your imagination the Green Light and let the ideas flow. Later there is plenty of time to turn on the Red Light (your judgement) and evaluate the ideas you have created.

    Nourish your creative attitude by a questioning, searching state of mind. Strive for a state of heightened awareness which is that fluid state of mind and body when your perceptions are sharp, responsive, and ON. Originality is simply a fresh pair of eyes.

    Generally, the search for new ideas involves five steps: (1) Define the problem. (2)Assemble all the information. (3) Ideate many solutions. (4) Incubate, rest and relax. (5) Evaluate which idea is best. Judging your ideas as you conceive them weakens your creative efforts.

    Practice ‘forced connections’, by fitting elements together that seem to have no connection whatsoever. Free associate. The subconscious mind often makes connections that the conscious mind is unable to perceive. Learn to exploit this natural associating ability.

    Radically, the first solution is rarely the best one. Scientific tests proves that the first half of ideas created in a prolonged effort, when compared to those from the second half , the latter contains 78% more good ideas. The best idea may be the next idea.

    Occurrence of new ideas may be pegged on ability to escape from the rigidity of words and classifications. Words can be called ideas in a suspended animation. Connecting an idea to verbal expression fits it into a mold or suspends its animation.

    Basically, individuals who can draw upon all aspects of their personality – masculine and feminine, intuitive and logical, playful and serious – are more creative. When you need a new idea, sometimes close your eyes and ask yourself, “What does it feel like?”

    Learn to get in touch with your dreams. Not only are dreams a marvelous source of novel imagery, they contain answers to many of our daily problems as well. They are also the sources of many of our creative ideas. Some inventions are first revealed during dreams.

    Every time you have completely saturated yourself with a problem and have reached an impasse, drop it altogether. Go for a walk, go fishing, go to a movie, forget it. What you are doing, of course, is putting your subconscious mind to work on the problem.

    Meditation technique in the name of RELAXATION RESPONSE offers many benefits. Learning to relax your body and your mind has two possible benefits. You can enhance your creativity and improve your health. To practice it:

    1. Sit comfortably in a quiet place.
    2. Close your eyes.
    3. Relax all your muscles, beginning with your toes and working slowly up to your head.
    4. Breathe easily through your nose; become aware of the rhythm of your breathing.
    5. As you breathe out, repeat a single word such as the word one.
    6. Continue this for 10 to 20 minutes; afterward, sit quietly for a few minutes, and then open your eyes.
    7. Practice the technique once or twice daily, except right after eating.

    The 5th Enduring Excerpt

    German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) developed a philosophy of pessimism that focused on the nature of the “will,” a term Schopenhauer used to mean both a person’s individual desires as well as the overall essence of being alive. Schopenhauer believed that although “will” was essential to life, it was also the source of endless striving and discontent. In this excerpt from Parerga und Paralipomena (1851, translated as Essays and Aphorisms), Schopenhauer contemplated the role of suffering in human life, and argued that pain was an inescapable part of life. Schopenauer’s acceptance of human suffering reflected the influence of both Christian and Indian Buddhist religious traditions.
    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    ...And yet, just as our body would burst asunder if the pressure of the atmosphere were removed from it, so would the arrogance of the men expand, if not to the point of bursting then to that of the most unbridled folly, indeed madness, if the pressure of want, toil, calamity and frustration were removed from their life. One can even say that we require at all times a certain quantity of care or sorrow or want as a ship requires ballast, in order to keep on a straight course....Work, worry, toil and trouble are indeed the lot of almost all men their whole life long. And yet if every desire were satisfied as soon as it arose how would men occupy their lives, how would they pass the time? Imagine this race transported to a Utopia where everything grows of its own accord and turkeys fly around ready-roasted, where lovers find one another without any delay and keep one another without any difficulty: in such a place some men would die of boredom or hang themselves, some would fight and kill one another, and thus they would create for themselves more suffering than nature inflicts on them as it is. Thus for a race such as this no stage, no form of existence is suitable other than the one it already possesses...

    Do you have a TEENAGE (an ADOLESCENT) sibling, an offspring, or you are one? Here is a vitally resourceful YouTube Video, to arouse a SUCCESS FORMULA!


    Forward we match, as our WITTY WARFARE against DECADENCE continues to be more and more fiery!

    1. Without any pleading or justification, it is the humble hope of BEYONDISM, that you have been (or you will be) conceptually cleansed, perceptually purified and existentially enabled, to authentically acquire the gainful gusto to LOCATE your BEARING. Your PSYCHIC PRECISION having been therapeutically tempered to ACTUALIZE your POTENTIAL, you are (or will be) therefore, explicitly empowered to implicitly indulge in soulfully spreading the gallant gospel of an African RENAISSANCE.
    2. Affirmatively, 2A/3P SELF-ACTUALIZATION Model which solidly stands at the core center of BEYONDISM, distinctly deals with what it says it does (validity), and precisely produces the same results when given same data more than once (reliability). So rest and praise. For what other end do we AFRICANS propose to ourselves, than to remove all scruples and impediments to our personal and social growth, so as to unlock and unleash all our immense, inherent ABILITIES?
    3. Robustly, BEYONDISM is ferociously fueled by 7P’s (Psychology, Philosophy, Poetry, Prose, Programming, Post-modernism, and Pan-Africanism).
      1. Psychology supplies the essential raw materials, and the basic facts from current research.
      2. Philosophy provides the adhesive force, for making BEYONDISM meaningfully enriching.
      3. Poetry offers the simplest, as well as the colourful way to make BEYONDISM palatable.
      4. Prose anchors you in the groves of BEYONDISM, so as to walk in the PSYCHIC paradise.
      5. Programming is the medium about which this work, is converted into a “personalized book.”
      6. Post-modernism is taking TRUTH as dependent upon personal, historical and social context.
      7. Pan-Africanism gives us the guiding goal, and the ultimate stimulation of BEYONDISM.
    4. Fundamentally, the MODEL is precisely for SELF-REALIZATION, SELF-ACTUALIZATION, as well as SELF-SUFFICIENCY purposes only. Consequently, it is not intended to be a substitute for dueling with the hustles and bustles of real LIFE, or the traditional face to face counselling with a trained (and certified) counsellor or a psychotherapist.

Due credit is hereby accorded to the most able editor of this work, Anthony Mutugi Gichuki (a loftily loyal comrade-in-arms against DECADENCE).
    5. An accomplished author, Mwaniki (who is the worthy initiator of BEYONDISM and the chief architect of 2A/3P... MODEL) has written two books: ‘An ABCD...for an Assertive African’, and ‘Building a PSYCHIC PALACE: Provoking Positive Perceptions’. Like this scholar, let others be blessed by the TIMELY THERAPY of BEYONDISM (so as to kindle the fire of an African RENAISSANCE), by RESPONDING, then PROPOSING the respective CODES, to as many AFRICANS as you can. O, let not the flame die out! “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” - Bible, Mark 16:15.

You may also go to BEYONDISM FEEDBACK form and/or 2A/3P FEEDBACK form. Follow me on X: @guruG, or find me in my FACEBOOK page: kinyua mwaniki. An African subject I was born, and an African subject I hope to die. AFRICA, with all thy faults, I love thee still, my continent. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
    7. Eventually, BEYONDISM has spoken; the case of MEANINGLESSNESS, PURPOSELESSNESS and VALUELESSNESS is (or shall soon be) concluded once and for all. I think I have (or will), by God’s inerrant inspirition, diligently discharged my ontological obligation in duly developing this laudably large and WONDERFUL WEBSITE - which is deftly determined, to be candidly crowned in the Africans’ PSYCHE, as a magnum opus (Latin “Great Work”). Let those who think I have said too little, or too much, forgive me; and those who think I have said just enough join me in giving thanks to God. AMEN! In the meantime, until our EARTHLY Kingdom transpires (through our efforts and innovation) into a HEAVENLY Kingdom, continue to:
      1. Grow strong...........................so as to...........................Meaningfully live.
      2. Immerse passionately.............in order to......................Work productively.
      3. Learn diligently.......................with an aim of...............Arousing creativity.
