An Approach to Validity 131 Are there gradations of truth (small t and capital T)? Do desires and prejudices do your thinking for you? Do you lie to yourself? If so, how can you know the truth? Is virtue established by psychological edict? ...by ecclesiastical vote...or by the requisites of our ultimate essence? Is truth decided by that which most people think (or want)...or by that which is? Is truth learned...or is it only experienced? Is there really a divine essence available to those who seek and are sincere? What does behaviorism prove? What do the tracks made by an animal prove? Do they tell you about the essence or purpose of that animal? What is the correct definition of sanity or sane thinking? Is it thinking that promotes or sustains survival (including ultimate survival)? Are we not running great risks regarding spiritual survival in accepting the evaluation of sanity that presumes average behavior is normal and without price? (“Average means mediocre.”) Can all behavior, merely because of its high rate of incidence, be considered sane, or are there not some actions performed by the majority that are not logically excusable? Can sanity be determined by logic? Is sanity that state that most accurately approaches the knowledge of things as they really are and the knowledge of the true nature of ourself? Could sanity ever mean that state of mind with perfect understanding of all problems? A state ofmind in which the altering lens of ego has been removed from our mental vision or perception? (“We see a lot of things through our ego. Do we incorporate ego into sanity? Is the egotistical person insaneto a degree, in that his ego somewhat colors his mental processes?”) Could a state of sanity ever be approached? Is directmind cognition in relation to true sanity possible? What is the relation between sanity and reality? What is reality and how do we find it? How do we determine it? Can we identify ourselves? Are we that which we think we are? (“We all look in the mirror and say, ‘Oh, you’re a good looking rascal. I know who you are. You’re the one who’s going to get me all the things I want’”)
132 Richard Rose’s Psychology of the Observer: The Path to Reality Through the Self Who are we? An animated body and a suppressed, stagnated soul? What is the self? The body, with a somatic mind? The mind? Is there a self beyond the mind? When a person asks himself a question, are there then two people or selves involvedone who speaks and one who hears? (Who is aware of this dialogue occurring?) What sees, what remembers, what reacts to perception and memory? Is there a soul? What is a soul? Did it exist before the body, or must it be developed, grown, or evolved? Do we have a soul? If so, who is it then who “has” this soul? Are we a soul? Are we the awareness of a soul? Is not identification of the self necessarily the isolation of the self from its environment? If this is true, where is the boundaryline? Is the body a part of the environment or is it you? Have all the prenatal factors for behavior been explained? How far back should you go? Only 9 months? Where do you draw the line between the consciousness of one entity and that of another? (Does the sperm/egg that creates the new person belong to the baby or to the parents?) Are you a distinct, individual entity or a multiplicity of drives and voices? If there is such a conglomerate, how is the Real Self isolated? Are we selves having many facets or are we a unique self, artfully invaded? Is the body part of the Self or a garment of the spirit? Is the mind part of the Self? When a man loses his mind, where does his self go? Where did the mind go? Is our ulterior self in our heads or in our groins? What is power? Who possesses? When you describe bouncing...do you describe the striking object or that which is struck? (“This will tell us something about karma.”) When a tree bends over, does it create wind by waving its branches?
