BLESSED IS THE HEALTHY NATURE, for it is coherent, sweetly co-operative, not self-distracting, and self-destructive. Alone among all humans, a BLESSED BEYONDIST has an abiding interest in optimizing one’s natural propensities, knows that one’s allotted time on this earth is short, worries not about the future, and wonders not about the past. He or she astutely adheres to the words of Francis Bacon: “A man’s nature runs either to herbs, or to weeds; therefore let him seasonably water the one, and destroy the other.”

Let us focus on the SIXTH piece of PERSONALITY PUZZLE. BEYONDISM seeks to give you a configuration of observable personality traits, such as habits of communication, patterns of action, and sets of characteristic attitudes, values, and talents. It also encompasses personal needs, the kinds of contributions that you can make in your College or University, and the roles you ought to play in society.

This SELFHOOD CODE will help you to appreciate:

• Where you get your energy from: Extraverts from the outer world, while Introverts from the inner world.
• How you gather information: Sensing sees the details, while Intuiting sees the big picture.
• How you make decisions: Thinking is based on objective criteria, while Feeling is based on subjective criteria.
• How you act in the outer world: Judging wants closure, while Perceiving wants process.

From these four dimensions of behaviour we have identified human being’s four basic temperaments as the Artisan, the Guardian, the Rational, and the Idealist.

Each temperament has its own unique qualities and shortcomings, strengths and challenges. What accounts for these differences? To use the idea of BEYONDISM TEMPERAMENTAL TRAITS most effectively, it is important to understand that the four temperaments are not simply arbitrary collections of characteristics. WHY?

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

1. BASICALLY our Temperamental Traits spring from an interaction of the two basic dimensions of human behaviour: our COMMUNICATION and our ACTION, our WORDS and our DEEDS, or, simply, what we SAY and what we DO.
2. ESSENTIALLY, in the first dimension (Communication), people naturally think and talk about what they are interested in, and if you listen carefully to people’s conversations, you find two broad but distinct areas of subject matter.
3. APPARENTLY, some people talk primarily about the external, concrete world of everyday reality: facts and figures, work and play, home and family, news, sports and weather - all the who-what-when-where-and how much’s of LIFE.
4. REALLY, other people talk primarily about the internal, abstract world of ideas: theories and conjectures, dreams and philosophies, beliefs and fantasies - all the why’s, if’s, and what-might-be’s of LIFE.
5. IN the second dimension (Action), at every turn people are trying to accomplish their goals, and if you watch closely how people go about their business, you see that there are two fundamentally opposite types of action.
6. NOW, some people act primarily in a Utilitarian or pragmatic manner, that is, they do what gets results, what achieves their objectives as effectively or efficiently as possible, and only afterwards do they check to see if they are observing the rules or going through proper channels.
7. GOING forward, other people act primarily in a Cooperative or socially acceptable manner, that is, they try to do the right thing, in keeping with agreed upon social rules, conventions, and codes of conduct, and only later do they concern themselves with the effectiveness of their actions.

At times, of course, everyone ADDRESSES both sorts of topics (concrete and abstract), but in their daily lives, and for the most part, Concrete people talk about reality, while Abstract people talk about ideas.

These two ways of ACTING (pragmatic and social) can overlap, certainly, but as they lead their lives, Utilitarian people instinctively, and for the most part, do what works, while Cooperative people do what is right.

The goal of knowing about your personality Temperamental Type is to understand yourself better, as well as appreciate differences between people. As all types are equal, there is no best type.

Here is BEYONDISM FORMIDABLE FORMULA for SELF-ACTUALIZATION
(The ‘head’ and ‘tail’ of Locating your BEARING) in regard to:
Knowing the unique stamp that differentiates you from other humans.

1. FEEL your trait to be so absolute, as if Nature begins with you; show all, what might be to be a human.
   Core Choice: Try to be one of the people on whom nothing is lost.
   Sure Score: A person who looks a part has the soul of that part.
2. ONLY will power has the tensile strength of your disposition. You cannot increase it by a single ounce.
   Solid Stance: The only thing that endures is your character. Fame and wealth — all that is illusion.
   Catalysing Consideration: ‘How’ you face issues in LIFE is more important than ‘What’ is faced.
3. REAL SELF is the secret of joy; it will sustain you through any spiritual, moral or physical devastation.
   Mighty Mission: Learn to serve and to show compassion and the will to help others.
   Vivid Vision: Be a young person who has brains enough to make a fool of yourself.
4. MOST people constantly deplore in others what they cannot accept in themselves; simply projection.
   Gaining Ground: We often do not desire the Happiness of other people without any selfish intention.
   Capturing Clouds: Know of no higher fortitude than stubbornness in the face of overwhelming odds.
5. ULTIMATELY, a hero is one who would argue with Angels, and awakens Devils to contest one’s vision.
   Lofty Leap: In all facets, details and manifestations, you are not merely the sum of your masks.
   Merry Momentum: Behind the shifting face of personality is a hard nugget of self, a genetic gift.
6. LET us set down as an incontestable maxim that the first basic movements of nature are always right.
   Holy Hearken: There is not a single vice in it of which it cannot be said how and whence it entered.
   Divine Distinction: Human nature is positive; there is no original perversity in the human heart.
7. A good sense of humour, should be the core of your SELFHOOD; you must go to great lengths to prove it.
   Prudent Planting: Walk like a king with steady perseverance in a systematic plan of personal conduct.
   Hoped Harvest: Have a sublimated and unique imagination, favourable to display of sound judgment

THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE:

I, ___________________________, embracing all my interests, reactions, and values regarding my TEMPERAMENTAL TYPE, do DECISIVELY DECLARE that, My tremendous value and need for systems and organisation, combined with my natural insightfulness, makes me an excellent scientist. As a scientist, I will give a gift to society by putting my ideas into a useful form for others to follow. It is not easy for me to express my internal images, insights, and abstractions. The internal form of my thoughts and concepts is highly individualised, and is not readily translatable into a form that others will understand. However, I am driven to translate my ideas into a plan or system that is usually readily explainable, rather than to do a direct translation of my thoughts. I usually do not see the value of a direct transaction, and will also have difficulty expressing my ideas, which are non-linear. However, my extreme respect of knowledge and intelligence will motivate me to explain myself to another person who I feel is deserving of the effort.

In this reference, as a BLESSED BEYONDIST, I hereby, make an ABSOLUTE AFFIRMATION that, I am a natural leader, although I usually choose to remain in the background until I see a real need to take over the lead. When I am in leadership roles, I am quite effective, because I am able to objectively see the reality of a situation, and adaptable enough to change things which are not working well. I am a supreme strategist - always scanning available ideas and concepts and weighing them against their current strategy, to plan for every conceivable contingency. Other people may have a difficult time understanding me. They may see me as aloof and reserved. Indeed, I am not overly demonstrative of my affections, and I am likely to not give as much praise or positive support as others may need or desire. That does not mean that I do not truly have affection or regard for others, I simply do not typically feel the need to express it. Others may falsely perceive me as being rigid and set in my ways. Nothing could be further from the truth, because I am committed to always finding the objective best strategy to implement my ideas. I am usually quite open to hearing an alternative way of doing something.

#38,39,40,41.
THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE:

I, ___________________________, shielding myself from BRAINWASHING, INDOCTRINATION or RADICALISATION, do DECISIVELY DECLARE that, as a persuasive step, what all BRAINWASHERS want are essentially people who want to improve themselves, or want to make the world a better place, in one way or another. The main road which the BRAINWASHER may follow to lure me is: Working on my values and belief-systems, and infusing me with the conviction that God has chosen me to involve in a very noble course. The second path which the INDOCTRINATOR may utilise to radicalise me is: Talking to me very intellectually, engaging me in a very abstract way, and pointing critically at the wrongs, mistakes and weaknesses of the present power-that-be (political or religious). I may get brainwashed, after being taken by force and quite brutally assaulted. I have realised that, mind control is much more subtle. I am more likely to be seduced by the recruiter — if not sexually, then emotionally, where I think of him or her as a friend or a mentor, or someone I really look up to. So there is much more of a sense of what is called the illusion of choice, or the illusion of control. In that sense, the indoctrination is subtler and deeper — because there is more sense of co-ownership over my new beliefs. For most brainwashers, there is a soft sell at the beginning, what psychologist call a “grooming seduction period,” where there is love bombing and flattery, and it is, “What can we do for you?” But once they get their hooks into me [a recruit], they will threaten my LIFE, they will threaten to kill my family, and if I ever leave, “We will kill you, and we will track down your family and kill them too.”

In this reference, as a BLESSED BEYONDIST, I hereby, make an ABSOLUTE AFFIRMATION that, one key concept is that I will not be allowed to make informed choices. I will not be allowed to know what it is I am getting involved with fully. I will be given enough information to formulate a fantasy or projection. After being converted I may find myself happily promoting my new way of LIFE on social media. This will not be a façade. It will be genuine. That will be my cult identity, doing what I am told I should be doing. It will be a dual-identity model — there will be my true self and my cult self. The cult self is saying, “You need to cut someone’s head off.” I will be surrounded by people going, “Yes! Go for it!” That is what will be normal, that is what will be expected. That is what will be going to be rewarded — that will be reality for me. Even the most sadistic behaviour will become normalised, then. Because I will be programmed not to look at the person I will be killing as a human being with real feelings and family members. I will be programmed to believe this is an agent of the devil, and I am just ridding the world of a devil to make the world purer for the “New Order” to take over. As a helpless, automated RADICALISED person, I will not think I am following human beings, I will think I am following the Divine. Ultimately, there will be no running away — it will be better to kill myself than leave the group.

PROPOSE: - As a Rational, the Ego-Strengths which propels me forward are: Logical, Strategic, Visionary, Integrative.
OPPOSE: - The Ego-Weaknesses which may bog me down are: Critical, Sarcastic, Non-compliant, Stressed by incompetence. My tendency to explore every avenue and overturn every stone can see me overcomplicate matters. Timescales, and even people, can become irrelevant as I get to the ‘root’ of something – compassion is not my strong point. My ability to debate anything projects pedantry; others may see a nit-picker, or someone who is overly sceptical. I spend a lot of time inside my own mind, and may have little interest in the other people’s thoughts or feelings. Unless my Feeling side is developed, I may have problems giving other people the level of intimacy that is needed. Unless my Sensing side is developed, I may have a tendency to ignore details which are necessary for implementing my ideas. My interest in dealing with the world is to make decisions, express judgments, and put everything that I encounter into an understandable and rational system. Consequently, I am quick to express judgments. Often I have very evolved iNtuitions, and I am convinced that I am right about things. Unless I complement my iNtuitive understanding with a well-developed ability to express my insights, I may find myself frequently misunderstood. In these cases, I tend to blame misunderstandings on the limitations of the other party, rather than on my own difficulty in expressing myself. This tendency may cause me to dismiss others input too quickly, and to become generally arrogant and elitist.
DISPOSE: - As a great strategist, I can view problems from multiple perspectives and will bring well thought-out arguments and profound reasoning to concepts and ideas, identifying their weaknesses. Strong-willed and independent, I am practical and adept at making decisions based on sound logic. When under a great deal of stress, I may become obsessed with mindless repetitive, Sensate activities, such as over-drinking. I may also tend to become absorbed with minutia and details that I would not normally consider important to my overall goal. I need to remember to express myself sufficiently, so as to avoid difficulties with people misunderstandings. In the absence of properly developing my communication abilities, I may become abrupt and short with people, and isolationist. My reasoning skills gives me the means to accomplish many things. I am most always a highly competent person, and will not have a problem meeting my career or education goals. I have the capability to make great strides in these arenas. On a personal level, if I practice tolerance and put effort into effectively communicating my insights to others, I have everything in my power to lead a rich and rewarding life.

PROPOSE: - I should listen very carefully and obey without questioning any person who comes to me with an idea that promises ‘great’ things.
OPPOSE: - Any idea that promises ‘sudden’ liberation from anything or ‘instant’ change towards something, MUST never be accepted at face value, but SHOULD be subjected to thorough scrutiny.
DISPOSE: - In this world, there is nothing like free lunch. I should be careful to the point of being wary of any person who approaches me with a free offer. The psychological attachment are so deep that it will become hard for me to avoid any suggestion or manipulation from the person. I should also be cautious to follow any idea with a high dosage of ‘promise’. In most cases, this is a smokescreen which will blind me from seeing the TRUTH of the matter at hand, or the deceptive maneouver therein. This may be a ploy, or red herring which may lead me down deep in the wrong direction untill I will eventually be doomed (made a captive other people’s dogma). It is essentially a case of tilling the land before planting the seed (indoctrinating me).
