[D-G] beyond psychiatry

Hello,
to be against any ethic may sound good and would be good
if we all were hol(y)e, for there were no necessetity for it.
As you may know that Spinoza got a lot of trouble with the priest who
hate(d) him
because they thought he denied ethic or more precise morals as they
understood it.
Namely accompanied and build up on bad consience and some kind of
selfdenial.
I think this is what you mean, a free mind stays to his
deeds, what is also expressed by Spinoza and Nietzsche.
It is worth noting that both in a way thought this free view only for
a few people who freed themselves.
At a lot of people they stay in a conventional padagogical view.
So we have the root of he difference of the free mindred people andthe
rest of the world, which
in my eyes is also not very full of advantages but cutting of the common
sense.
I think to overcome this distinction and hold the free view was of very
high value in
the left wing movement starting at the mid 60ies.
And it is of high value still today.
Somehow even if one did something which was not right
in common eyes, and these common eyes are often also inside yourself,
there is some instance in you who found it right to do so
in that situation with the Knowledge, mood and circumstances at that
specific time.
So it is good to ask: How came I about to do so, without kill oneself
but instead with free and loving eyes.
This is what is against the negative sides of morals, for this is some
ethic in itself and present in Spinozas ethic.
It is also present in other cultures:
Rabia, a femal sufi master from the old midddle ages had put it like this:
"First repent and then repent your repentence".
Now if you look at your thinking and deeds this way, hard failures even in
the common moralistic sense will seldom occcur.
To be good to oneself and keep oneself hole is a sort of staying and
becoming fine,
for you don't have to abolish a part of you or avoid to look at it,
so that it can't be developed. Instead you come about to know more about
you and maybe about
the others.
To put int in the way of being against ethic is a little bit unfortunarte,
for you struggle with a lot of people including yourself.
"And what if you wish to kill your partner"? "That should be right???"
So the versions of Spinoza and Rabia and mine "Keep your self hole" may be
of more value and make
ethical live easier.
greetings Harald Wenk
