AS A ‘YOUTH’ YOU ARE IN WHAT French philosopher Soren AAbye Kierkgaard (1813 - 55) referred to as a human being’s “first stage of awakening…that of aesthetic consciousness in which one experiences only the desire to enjoy, the whole range of emotive and sense experience”. However, be warned that your incessant craving for one pleasure after another will eventually lead you in the end, “through boredom and despair”. You are hereby called upon to start choosing seriously and passionately the ethical way of LIFE, which will form the basis for the “second stage of awakening”. In this way you will be able to accept moral standards and obligations as governing your personal ethical behaviour. In this reference therefore, BEYONDISM prevails upon you to appreciate the Tentative Turmoil which may be causing conflicts with your parent(s) or teachers in the name of implicit or explicit, overt or covert ‘YOUTHFUL Rebellion’.

SEVEN therapeautic tonics to loftily LOCATE your LIFE’s BASIC BEARING:

1. BASICALLY, the alchemy that you must use on yourself, is to turn your weakness into strength. You can transform this rebellious flaw, into an asset to use for positive social purposes.
2. ENDEAVOUR to transmute and channel your dislike of conventions, and the usual ways of doing things, into some kind of innovative work, instead of habitually hurting your parents.
3. AFFIRM to train yourself to not react impulsively and (or) rebelliously in the moment by repeatedly placing yourself in stressful or adverse situations in order to get used to them.
4. REBELLION may be borne of boredom. As such, in uninteresting everyday tasks, cultivate greater patience and attention to detail. Deliberately take on tasks slightly above your level.
5. IN completing them, you have to work harder, helping you establish more discipline and better work habits. You train yourself to continually think of what is best for the team.
6. NOTING and searching out others who display a strong character and associate with them as much as possible is vital. In this way you can assimilate their energy and their habits.
7. GENERALLY, seeking to develop some flexibility in your character, is always a sign of strength, you occasionally shake yourself up, trying out some new strategy or way of thinking.

Rebellion is a natural part of growing up. Rebellion is part of the development process in healthy children and YOUTHS. As you grow and mature, your desire for control of your environment and autonomy increases, which can brew together the perfect conditions for a power struggle with your parent(s).

Here is BEYONDISM FORMIDABLE FORMULA for SELF-ACTUALISATION
(The ‘head’ and ‘tail’ of Activating your SELFHOOD) in regard to:
Sublimating rebellion to be a stepping stone towards an ACTIVE SELFHOOD.

1. FIGHTING debauchery and despotism is the only surer means of overturning the existing basis of society.
   Core Choice #1.v: BEYONDISM will not come terrible like an army with banners.
   Sure Score #1.v: But like a Corporation dustman carting off the rubbish of the ages.
2. ONLY by subduing the ‘pangs of rebellion’ which sadly troubles you, will you find a stable peace of mind.
   Solid Stance #1.v: The advantage secured by rebelling is only a fresh starting point for further rebellion.
   Catalysing Consideration #1.v: View rebellion as though you never knew it and misery will be a merry song.
3. REBELLION’S question NOW: ‘The Psychic Revolt, and Where Do I Go From Here?’ or ‘What Next?’
   Mighty Mission #1.v: In a humble way of understanding it, it points toward either decadence or desirability.
   Vivid Vision #1.v: To affirm the necessity of subduing impulsivity, to be self-governed, to conquer egoism.
4. MALADJUSTMENT is the worst enemy; all energy is justifiable in the struggle against this terrible curse.
   Gaining Ground #1.v: Subtly seek only an end to your inherent ‘PSYCHIC PURGE’.
   Capturing Clouds #1.v: More than an end, you will be seeking a NEW beginning.
5. UNCENSORED freedom will not accrue to you by simply rebelling against the authority of your superiors.
   Lofty Leap #1.v: The great battleground for the defense and expansion of freedom lies within you.
   Merry Momentum #1.v: The greatest revolution in human history, is your PSYCHIC REVOLUTION.
6. LONG Live the Victory of IDENTITY War; the whole cause of rebellion hinges on your INNER struggles.
   Holy Hearken #1.v: Rebellion is for you not an end, but a means to go to the conquest of a new IDENTITY.
   Divine Distinction #1.v: When SELFHOOD is ACTIVATED either the rebellion will submit or just disappear.
7. ANARCHISM is deeply rooted in YOUTH, and likely to outlive responsibility when influence is withdrawn.
   Prudent Planting #1.v: A multitude of evilly disposed YOUTHS can stir up strife.
   Hoped Harvest #1.v: Just as a crowd of mosquitoes can make a noise like thunder.

Therapeautic Takeaway #1.v

Cardinal Concept #1.v: As substantially scribed FOR YOU. ..............
Move BEYOND being a NAY-SAYER who arbitrarily RESISTS what older societal members tells you.
Critical Canon #1.v: As candidly cracked BY YOU. ..............
To BECOME a YES-SAYER who culls out positive values from any information given by others.
Renaissance Rehearsal #1.v: As purposively partook BY YOU. ..............
REFUSE indecence and annoyances, by learning and exhibiting admirable BEHAVIOURAL patterns.

#1.v. To the extent I aspire to live an enduring HAPPY LIFE,
Which BEHAVIOURAL patterns must I learn and exhibit?

Behaviour is mostly displayed by mannerism which shows respect and responsibility.
Good behaviour basically makes a good impression on teachers and administrators.
They will be inclined to put in a good word for you if you are not caught misbehaving.
A squeaky-clean permanent record can improve your university admission prospects.
When a teacher, principal, is speaking, listen carefully or they may cross-question you.
Listen even if they are not speaking to you directly (for instance, at an assembly).
If you listen intently, they will notice you and begin to think of you as a good student.

#1.v. I, ___________________________, being focused on cultivating GOOD BEHAVIOUR AT SCHOOL, do DECISIVELY DECLARE that, if I have behaved poorly in the past, I will start improving my image immediately. I will apologise to my teachers, students, or administrators I have disrespected. I will devote more attention to my schoolwork. Between classes, it is only natural to say hi to any friends I might meet. This is perfectly acceptable for a well-behaved student. However, I will not let myself get distracted talking or goofing off. I will keep track of my time and always allow myself enough time to get to class before the bell. Passing periods can be deceptively short and teachers hate it when a student is late. If I am tardy repeatedly, I might might even be subject some other discipline measures. I will stay in the administration’s good graces. I will avoid fights. I will spare my permanent record from the threat of black ink. I will not get into fights unless it is absolutely necessary to protect myself. Even in desperate cases where I have to fight, I may run the risk of serious trouble. Teachers and administrators will not necessarily know who started the fight. If it is my word against the bully’s words, then there’s a good chance we will both be punished. The best policy is to avoid fights entirely. I will know how to deal with bullies. I have realised that bullies are weak, insecure people who may hurt me to feel better about themselves. I will try to thwart them without fighting. I will ignore my aggressors. Sometimes, people pick fights for attention or because they are bored or unfulfilled. I will ignore these people to make them look like idiots. I will tell a teacher or administrator. I will never instigate a fight. No matter how disrespectful someone is to me, I will bear the brunt of the blame if I throw the first punch. If I may be fuming mad at another student, I will do whatever I need to do to control my temper - perform some vigorous exercise, for starters.

In this reference, as a BLESSED BEYONDIST, I hereby, make an ABSOLUTE AFFIRMATION that, I will not badmouth anyone. Gossip, especially juicy gossip, can be hard to resist spreading, but I definitely should avoid doing so. Word gets around schools quickly, and if someone hears I have said something nasty behind their back, I will quickly get an untrustworthy reputation. This goes double for teachers or administrators. Vicious rumours about staff members can put their jobs in jeopardy. If I am caught for starting a rumour about one of the school’s employees, my punishment will be severe. It goes without saying, but spreading gossip is also just a mean thing to do. Before I say something mean about someone, I will reflect on whether the statement is true or just a rumour. If it is true, I will think about how it would make this person feel if she or he heard it. My good behaviour should not necessarily begin and end in the classroom - most schools have a selection of extracurricular activities I can sign up for. By enrolling and devoting myself to the extracurricular, I will have an opportunity to enlarge my circle of friends (in terms of both students and staff members) and develop a reputation as a hard worker. I have realised that, one great way to get a saintly reputation is to go out of my way to be friendly and welcoming to unpopular students. I will volunteer to show new students around the school. If I see someone sitting by themselves at lunch, I will pull up a chair next to them. I will stand up to bullying. I will be a friend to the friendless. I will definitely be noticed. I will strive to be a leader. By finding in a leadership role, I will have more potential to do good (and a greater audience to notice my good deeds.) I will run for student government, start my own after-school club, or become the captain of a sports or athletic team. Whatever I will do, I will lead by example - well-behaved leaders can quickly gain the respect and admiration of students and teachers alike. I will ignore haters! It is almost unavoidable - some people are going to resent me for trying to be good at school. I will ignore any teasing or insults that might come my way. By doing so, I will display maturity and restraint. In turn, I will make them look immature. I will not let the haters get to me - the rewards of behaving well are not worth the instant gratification of retaliation. I will not stoop to my haters’ level by hurling my own insults back at them. The best revenge is to live happily while continuing to do good – it will frustrate them to no end.
