! ! ! ! ! Feeling Important! ! ! Feeling Useless

The Four Dual Basic Urges are not “right/wrong” or “good/bad” or “should/shouldn’t”. They
are simply by-products or side-effects of living, not the whole purpose of living. Because all
humans are subject to all the Four Dual Basic Urges, when they are made the whole purpose
of living (unconsciously, beginning during the uncomfortable birth process) they have to result

in conflict--one wants all the “gain” side and none of the “escape” side, and this is not
possible on planet Earth. THE WAY of Intelligence is not to self-improve by rejecting them;
The Way is to observe self and one’s reactions to them, checking to see if they are the

purpose of living--or not. They will come up and can be ignored if one chooses.

THE FOUR WAYS OF MAN

THE WAY OF THE JUNGLE
Kill anything that is in front of me and about to interfere.

THE WAY OF JUSTICE
“An eye for an eye” -- not your life for an eye.

THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING
Understanding that whatever any person including myself has done, is doing, will do, is
felt at the time of doing to be right or proper or justified with the light he has at the
moment.

THE WAY OF INTELLIGENCE
Aware of the Purpose of Living, the will to do it--knowing what I am, where I am, what’s
going on, and what I can do. In charge of my inner state.
