Article 14: The Attribute of Moral Vigilance in Human (The Cautious Human)

In the name of God, I am at your service for the presentation of the fourteenth article under the title "The Attribute of Moral Vigilance in Human" or "The Cautious Human". To enter this discussion, I remind you that in past articles, two important points were referred to: one "form-based mind" and the other "shapeless mind". We said human tries, according to what we described, to bring about a suitable form-based mind for themselves. In past articles, we examined human's problems in connection with their form-based mind. The part related to the shapeless mind was a source which we tried to connect with suitably, to reach that boundless sea, get influenced by it, get refreshed, and then return and continue the construction of our form-based mind. Therefore, here we speak of a human who is busy constructing and shaping their form-based mind. Why do we examine this article in this section? For the reason that this human must know that their form-based mind will be gradually constructed, and it is necessary to exert sufficient caution and accuracy to construct it. Negligence or excess confidence in this form-based mind causes them to consider unsuitable perceptions as definite results. The result will be that the individual, by constructing an unsuitable form-based mind, faces numerous problems. From where can we notice these problems? One of the signs is that the relationship of the individual with themselves, the unconscious mind, and the shapeless mind, will become very weak. The next case is that the individual, by entering the form-based mind, meaning that same space in which they live, will commit numerous errors. You see that this article proposes to human: O human, be cautious. Take the attribute of moral vigilance and piety into consideration and strengthen it in yourself. Your form-based mind must be shaped gradually and with accuracy. Dogmatism means that what I possess now as a form-based mind and by means of which I am analyzing the world around me, is not definite and final, but has an evolutionary state. Therefore, this mind must be shaped gradually and be subjected to experiment to see how much the results extracted from this form-based mind can bring about peace and a more suitable life in the Shaped Space for the individual.

Text of the Article

Now, the human being understands how crucial it is—for achieving and attaining inner peace—to manage their method of entering the Shaped Space, their susceptibility to its influence, and the analytical processes within the mind as mechanisms of thought. This importance is directly related to the degree to which the mind can extract concepts from shaped information and, subsequently, to the extent of mental activation and how inspiration occurs within the mind. Through personal experience, the human remembers instances of illusory, imagination, and dreaming (envisioning), all triggered by mental stimulation. These experiences make the individual aware of the existence and role of the unconscious mind. Even within this mental domain, without deliberate thinking, the person acquires concepts.

If the mind reaches a sufficient level of self-awareness and recognition of its own capacities and talents, the person becomes fully conscious of their position and influence over other minds—using the mise-en-scène or environment of the Shaped Space consciously and with necessary caution. At this point, the person seeks tools and methods to share their discoveries with others. Thus, within the existing shaped environment, they deliberately organize and construct a new shaped environment for communicating with other minds.

Moral vigilance, therefore, is defined as the human’s attentiveness to both their influence on others and their receptivity within an organized shaped environment.

Explanation of the Article

In the next part of the article, you see it says that this importance is related to the rate of extracting concepts from shaped information; meaning how much capability do you have to extract concepts from the information you have obtained and work on them? This is the part that is presented next: the extent of mental activation and how inspiration occurs is that same point I raised earlier; meaning if our process is a suitable process, know that because you have chosen the right path, from time to time from the shapeless space, affirmative messages or suitable proposals and commands for repairing, completing, or creating suitable changes in your form-based mind will come; this has been presented under the title of "inspiration".

This part is also interesting: human in their experience, after mental stimulation, remembers illusion, imagination, and dreaming. Remember these three words; we will work with these three words in the future. Illusion (Tavahhum) means a dusty space; the very thing that many humans face. It seems to be a relative and secondary state; because the Shaped Space we speak of does not have certainty and we must look at it with a gaze accompanied by uncertainty. But relying solely on initial results—meaning when our Shaped Space is still in its initial period—is what we call "illusion". Now suppose that based on an illusion, based on a weak structure in the Shaped Space, in the very thing we call the form-based mind, you want to make decisions; obviously you will face problems. Both you cannot correctly detect relationships, and that based on this very illusion you enter the Shaped Space, your surrounding space, you want to establish connections with other people, but because your space is an illusory space, you do not act correctly. Instead of helping others, you yourself become problematic; either for yourself, or for those around you.

But imagination and dreaming are other levels; later we will talk more about them. Imagination (Khayāl) is what from our perspective must be considered praiseworthy (meaning something interesting that must be approved, we must define and praise it) and that is when the evolution of our mental Shaped Space has progressed so much that we can foresee or even wish for a set of relationships in advance.

But dreaming is a much higher stage; meaning from the foundational viewpoint you have such a suitable state that you get very close to the shapeless space (that same shapeless mental space from which we receive inspiration). It is like having approached the sea; you move on the shore, the sound of the sea is heard, as if you feel the moisture of that area (meaning closeness and proximity to it). There you will have a vision, you dream. This is different from imagination; it is not something you yourself can do, because you are getting close to the shapeless space; an induction, an inspiration of a very high level, to the extent that you observe, you have a close vision. This I explained so that you are familiar with it for the future and work a little on it yourself.

These instances make them aware of the unconscious mind; in this space also, without thinking, they obtain the matter of inspiration, meaning concepts. If the mind reaches a sufficient level of self-awareness and acquaintance with its capacities and talents, it reaches a station where it can have this claim that I want to consciously and with a plan influence other minds. You see that we return to this point again that when we speak of the attribute of piety, we must remember those two stages: going and returning.

One stage I explained earlier, or emphasized more: that when you enter the Shaped Space and want to experience and sample, you must not rush, you must not conclude quickly, you must not think what you have obtained is definite and certain; rather you must carry these data with patience and tolerance. It is interesting that you consult with experts, meaning those form-based minds that are more evolved, and place the results you have obtained at their disposal, meaning you want to benefit from their experience.

But the next part says: know that if you possess an active mind and want, or have this claim that I want to establish connections with others and place the obtained results as a positive influence at their disposal, here too the attribute of piety, moral vigilance, and caution must be observed [1]. That is, with what method do you want to raise these? You must know with whom you are speaking [2]. You quickly remember that well, they also have form-based minds. What do I know in what degree and credibility their form-based minds are? Can I consider myself in a stage where without any veil and without caution, I place everything at the disposal of others, only under this pretext that they are the humans in front of me? Such an approach is not correct; you must definitely consider their age range and their level of awareness. In other words, you must be able to test and pay attention to their mental capability and then pursue influence.

What many damages have been inflicted on others in this interactive space, when someone without awareness of these topics (meaning without caution, without piety) has placed materials in methods and forms at the disposal of others that instead of helping them, has intensified their illusory space and forced them or subjected them to successive errors. You see that as if there is a station (the station of influence) which says we must definitely enter the shaped world with accuracy, consciously, and with necessary caution.

Now, they are in pursuit of tools to share their findings. To explain this point: so in the existing shaped environment, they themselves prepare the shaped environment in a way (I referred to it as the "new shaped environment") meaning now that individual who has understood my words and is careful that they must be cautious, reaches this conclusion: I must first understand and perceive the shaped environment around me; I must create a new shaped environment. This is that same study of tools: taking signs into consideration, taking specifications into consideration; meaning I construct a new shaped environment so that I can establish connections with minds in a suitable way.

It seems that now we can conclude: so when we speak of piety, when we speak of moral vigilance, it means that you are aware of the method of exerting influence and receiving influence (whether about yourself or about others) in the shaped environment. That part of organization that I raised is also in this very sense; meaning you must organize your surroundings, create a suitable shaped environment so that you both exert a good influence and receive a good influence. I hope this interpretation and the explanations that were raised have been able to clarify the concept of moral vigilance and piety in this human for you. Now let's go to listen to a song.
