WE MUST RESOLVE ON THIS VALIANT VOYAGE of ours, to put in only at the “ports of light” of SELF-ACTUALISATION, to keep out of the “muddy streams” of depersonalisation and the “many sounding seas” of low self-assertion.

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

1. BASICALLY, your Personality Function (unique ways of orienting personal experience) is your treasure either to be utilised for a more successful LIFE or to be squandered by not using it.
2. ENDOWED in this manner, your Personality Function is a gift, not an excuse. It is not a free pass to be used to avoid assigned tasks or performance issues that need to be addressed.
3. ASTUTE and clear in your motivations, consider the neighbourhood analogy. Within each town or city there are different neighbourhoods. You live in your neighbourhood for a reason.
4. READILY, if you like where you are (and you should), you probably share many of the values of others in your neighbourhood. You are most comfortable in your neighbourhood.
5. INDEED, like others, you probably enjoy exploring, but as the song by Mr. Rogers says, “It is a beautiful day in the neighbourhood…It is nice to go traveling, but it is nice to come home again”.
6. NURTURED well, whatever the circumstances of your LIFE, the richer the understanding and development of your FUNCTION, can be a rewarding adventure for the rest of your LIFE.
7. GROOMED in a precise and practical manner, it can make your perceptions clear, your judgments sounder, and your LIFE closer to your heart’s desire. HOME, SWEET HOME!!

Here is BEYONDISM FORMIDABLE FORMULA for SELF-ACTUALIZATION
(The ‘head’ and ‘tail’ of Locating your BEARING) in regard to:
Being a philosopher who revels in the way you understand the world.

1. FUCTIONALLY, how does it feel to be without an identity, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone?
   Core Choice #39: Memory is the basic thread of personal identity, history of public identity.
   Sure Score #39: Your anatomy is only part of an infinitely complex organisation, your self.
2. ONLY when you have ceased to need petty things can you truly be your own master and so really exist.
   Solid Stance #39: Most people hopelessly seek after what they do not possess at the moment.
   Catalysing Consideration #39: And they are enslaved by the very things they want to acquire.
3. RESERVE a little room, all your own, entirely free, wherein to establish your true liberty and solitude.
   Mighty Mission #39: Feel the self-sufficient and redeeming power of Solitude.
   Vivid Vision #39: There is no companion that is so companionable as Solitude.
4. MISFORTUNE of humans: One can put things out of one’s head, but basically not out of one’s feelings.
   Gaining Ground #39: Seven keys of emotional make-up: joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hatred, and desire.
   Capturing Clouds #39: A superior emotional make-up, makes you display these emotions in a balanced way.
5. USUALLY as humans we know of nothing but the existence of our impressions, feelings and thoughts.
   Lofty Leap #39: ‘It’ thinks, we ought really to say; just as we now say, it thunders.
   Merry Momentum #39: To fully assume or postulate this ‘I’ is a practical necessity.
6. LIFE is not a stroll across a field; with a deep rooted sincerity, alone among the Pharisees will you stand.
   Holy Hearken #39: The order of the acts in human ‘existence’ is not rigidly planned.
   Divine Distinction #39: The end of the road is already never revealed to anybody.
7. ANYONE has one’s own destiny: The only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads.
   Prudent Planting #39: There are many events in the womb of time which you will midwife to be delivered.
   Hoped Harvest #39: It lies in your power to love, or hate, for the WILL in you is never over-ruled by fate.

#39. In as much as I continue navigating in my SELFHOOD-SEARCH sea,
Which are the basic ATTRIBUTES which stamps my being?

SENSATE:
Continue depending on verifiable, factual information and direct perceptions.
Always be mesmerized and energized by literal, mistrust fuzzy information.
Strive to value being practical, cost-effective, and exercising common sense.
You highly values the applications of an idea - more interesting than idea itself.
Your motivation lies in being heavily grounded by first hand, past experience.
You often revel in your reluctance to generalise beyond direct experience.
Trusts what is familiar, supports established methods and honours precedents.

INTUTIVE:
Always enjoy being ingenious, clever and novel . . . for its own sake.
Be comfortable with and inferring meaning from non-literal information.
Value learning, acquiring knowledge, and mental challenges as an end in itself.
Strive to be conceptual, automatically search for patterns in observed facts.
You will always revel in comfortability with theories and inventing new ones.
Keep on valuing initiative and enterprising, inventive, and novel solutions.
Your fundamental source of power is often mistrusting conventional wisdom.

#39. SENSATE:
I, ___________________________, channeling the process of how I gather INFORMATION, do DECISIVELY DECLARE that, my Sensing Function is about experiencing the world as it “is” - through using the five senses. It is about attending to the here and now, being aware of the tangible sensory impressions of the moment. It is about trusting most my direct experiences as a guideline for future action.

In this reference, as a BLESSED BEYONDIST, I hereby, make an ABSOLUTE AFFIRMATION that, my Sensing is about being literal, concrete and practical, noticing “what is” as opposed to what “could be.” It is about remembering, cataloging and recalling, often with great detail, a wide variety of experiences and information.

#39. INTUITIVE:
I, ___________________________, channeling the process of how I gather INFORMATION, do DECISIVELY DECLARE that, my iNtuition Function is about understanding, exploring, creating patterns, noticing relationships, and imagining new possibilities. It is a sixth sense that involves an unconscious awareness of facts, events, happenings, and the whole of experience to produce insights about complex relationships, concepts, future possibilities, and trends.

In this reference, as a BLESSED BEYONDIST, I hereby, make an ABSOLUTE AFFIRMATION that, my iNtuitive mind automatically links the past and present to forecast the future, speculates about possibilities, looks at the “big picture,” and seeks to grasp the general context of an idea, concept, or a situation. It learns to trust its hunches.

SENSATE:
PROPOSE: - I merrily revel in my strengths of attending to detail, being practical, having memory for detail and fact, working with tedious detail, being patient, careful, and systematic.
OPPOSE: - The weaknesses which may bog me down are, not seeing possibilities, losing the overall in details, mistrusting intuition, not working out the new, being frustrated with the complicated and preferring not to imagine future. I am much more in touch with my five senses, but I may be a limited being, somehow unable to reason in the abstract domain. I am slow(er) to recognise patterns and read between the lines.
DISPOSE: - I am basically, a master of action. To live wholly in the senses is natural, as long as I remember to reflect upon myself and my surroundings every now and again and implement any changes that may be necessary. If I am made to feel inferior by the iNtuitives around me, I should take that in stride. If I forget to apply Intuition I may have to repeat some mistakes in my LIFE, but while doing so, I am actually out there, living life. I am often seen as being ‘down to earth’. When given new information, my sensing function provides the reality check and says, “Yes, but how are we going to do it?” I may also say, “This is all interesting theory, but how is it going to make me a better______?” I am more interested in a specific application of new information. “Who has done this before? How can I make this work?” are two other questions my sensing function may ask. Memory for specific detail is more of my attribute. I should take these words of American inventor Thomas Alva Edison (1847 - 1931) seriously, “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.” Intuition supplies the inspiration and sensing supplies the perspiration. I need both. Without intuition, there are no ideas. Without sensing, ideas cannot become reality. Without the sensing function, all ‘scientific breakthroughs’ in the world would still only be ‘good ideas’.
