Ethics
LIVE Right and you’ll THINK Right.
Ethical living gives you a Crystal Clear Mind.
THIS is Spinoza’s message. And it’s so wonderfully true.
You may not grasp the arguments of this book the first time around, but come back to it after you’ve put its ideas into practice, and you’ll SEE...
Not only that, says Spinoza, but as he takes us further and further into the strictly Logical Patterns of Nature - Nature for him being synonymous with God - you’ll embark on a mystical journey into the very nature of the world.
‘Nuff said.
But if you buy a copy - and it’s dirt cheap - and borrow a good analysis of his arguments from your local library, you’ll be off and running.
You’ll find this magical world unfolding when you try to be Good.
But for me, it was tough to be good in 1969...
It was a hot, sultry summer in our valley, and as I read this book, my nattering testosterone levels were at their lifetime peak. Goes with teen territory, of course.
But free for the summer, with a uni survey of western philosophy under my belt, I was resolute.
I set my jaw determinedly and bored a hole through these pages with my concentration.
And it worked.
Because of it, I was DETERMINED henceforth to lead a Good Life.
Bless you, Baruch!
Now, the world didn’t love my choice of behaviour - in fact, it objected strenuously, as it will always do - but, having my Mom’s wilful genes, I stuck to my guns.
And now, fifty plus years later, I am SO glad I did.
Yes, it worked, and NOW in my life - just like in that Hippie Poster called Desiderata -
“Doubtless the World is Unfolding as it SHOULD.â€
And that’s as good as it gets.
And if you do good, and smile away the pain -
And this is for darned sure, my friends -
One day you’ll REJOICE - BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES!
