Hidden tendencies and tendencies of a person

[Teacher]

The negative qualities of a person contain, oddly enough, positive tendencies, which are their basis, root, and if these positive tendencies are developed, this leads to a harmonious and happy life.

A person is fundamentally good, and any bad character traits that are present are not his true nature. In other words, the initial positive aspirations and inclinations of a person under the influence of various circumstances of the material world (environment) can be distorted, transforming over time into negative qualities. And this transformation is, of course, reversible.

We can say that various negative tendencies of a person (for example, drinking, smoking, gossiping, bragging, etc.) are a kind of substitutes for the good qualities that a person had previously.

In this article, we will look at some of the negative character traits along with the positive tendencies they contain, which will allow us to analyze ourselves (and others), identify our good inclinations and aspirations, and then develop them, and thus improve our life.

Any negative tendency listed below is a misuse of soul energy, which naturally causes equally negative consequences. However, bad qualities do not need to be fought, they do not need to be suppressed, you just need to change the direction of efforts. You can't just take and stop the flow of energy, but you can redirect it where we need it. This is similar to how it is impossible to stop a river, no matter what dam we build, but you can put the river into another channel that we need. Often a person tries to fight negative character traits, suppressing them in himself, and for a while it may work, but then the dam breaks through, which brings even more destruction. Therefore, there is only one reasonable way out - to transform energy, change the vector of motion, and this article will help you understand how to do this.

Interpretation of the qualities and hidden tendencies of a person

Alcoholism:
It is a latent tendency (striving, craving, inclination) towards wisdom, implying diving into the depth of the problem in order to solve it. In a state of intoxication, a person thirsts for communication (will you be the third?), Because correct communication is a solvent for problems (but not in a drunken state). Having found an interlocutor, he lays the foundation for communication (do you respect me?) And begins to pour out painful things. Of course, in this state, problems are not solved, since alcoholism is only a crude surrogate for wisdom and philosophy. This is a distorted desire to communicate with wise people, a substitute for such communication. A little change in the direction of efforts - and a person can reach heights in philosophy and become a sage.

Smoking:
An inclination towards honesty. A person who smokes is usually honest enough to himself that he / she feels discomfort not doing the right thing, and this makes him want to smoke (relieve tension). This bad habit occurs in people who tend to evaluate the correctness of their actions, but do not know how to tune in, meditate. Smoking cigarettes is a substitute for meditation. A little effort in the right direction, and a person can achieve success in meditation and learn all the secrets of the universe.

Selfishness:
Distorted manifestation of personalism. The egoist is focused on himself - on his own interests, desires and pleasures. He sees his difference from others and, having analyzed a little, he can realize that each person is a unique individuality, with a unique worldview, a set of desires and interests. Realizing this, a person can easily build relationships that will benefit everyone, including himself. Selfishness is a latent tendency to be a teacher (in the field of personalism), but in order to become one, you need to transform this negative quality by communicating with those who are devoid of selfishness.

Anger:
Indicates a penchant for spiritual leadership. A person gets angry when he doesn't like stupid behavior. But he needs to properly analyze and understand what is really reasonable and what is stupid. If directed in the right direction (to your own stupidity), anger can be beneficial, as it encourages the study of wisdom. This quality (anger) is the opposite of the desire to save people from degradation and self-destruction.

Ingratitude:
It is a distorted restraint and humility. When a person does not consider himself worthy of someone else's care and attention (realizing or not realizing it), he avoids responding to the care shown by someone. He feels that he is not yet ready for such a personal relationship, since he cannot give anything in return, and he is embarrassed to “borrow” because of his egoism (unwillingness to give). Such a person lacks understanding and happiness, but his ingratitude can be transformed into true humility through communication in the society of personalists. Humility is the most important spiritual quality of a person, leading to real happiness, but now few people correctly understand the true positive meaning of this term, interpreting it completely incorrectly.

Envy:
Indicates a hidden tendency of the follower - the ideal student who wants to have the same qualities of character as his teacher. When we are not jealous of something that really should be envied, our life becomes not better, but worse. By choosing the right object of envy and changing the vector of our actions, we will be able to progress (get success in spiritual practice), and then this quality is transformed into a positive one that will change our life for the better.

Greed:
Distorted striving for spiritual enrichment. Having slightly transformed this quality, a person will become greedy for the study of wisdom and communication with intelligent spiritual people. The best kind of enrichment is the accumulation in the mind of the sayings of the great sages and saints, because such positive greed allows us to progress spiritually, for which the human form of life was created. Ordinary material greed is a substitute for the desire to learn and accumulate wisdom.

Boasting:
It is the tendency to inspire others by fueling the desire to achieve the same. A braggart in the future can become an ideal preacher or inspirer, you just need to choose a worthy field of activity. For example, if such a person realizes his quality in the spiritual sphere, he can become a real spiritual leader, followed by others, which will bring the greatest benefit to all of humanity.

Theft:
Latent desire to help people (spiritual healing). Such a person subconsciously knows that material things bind a person to this world of suffering and sorrow. The deprivation of valuable things makes us think that nothing really belongs to us in this world; the thief proves this fact by his actions, although in our time such an approach is ineffective. By changing the vector of his efforts, a thief can learn to remove people's attachment to things, gain the ability to inspire a healthy lifestyle and renounce unnecessary things. He can become a successful preacher, by his example showing that happiness is not about money, and that a simple life (no frills) elevates our consciousness and brings true joy - spiritual happiness that is not available to materialists.

Cunning (as a negative quality):
Latent tendency to care for others. Cunning is the opposite of parental love and parenting. It is very beneficial to use cunning to sincerely care for others (then this is a positive quality), but if a person is cunning for his own benefit, he inevitably degrades.

Criticism:
A very interesting hidden tendency of mindfulness that can be very beneficial and destiny if cultivated. The critic notices the smallest details that are not visible to others, and if he turns his attention to the positive aspects of a phenomenon or situation, he will also see a lot of things that are not available to others. Such people can become great pioneers and even geniuses. They can solve problems that others cannot, find a way out of deadlocks and see global perspectives. You just need to shift the focus of your attention.

Laziness:
It is a tendency to endure. A lazy person suffers inconvenience or lack of any benefits, just not to do any "unnecessary" actions. Transforming this character trait into a positive one, a person will continue his work (or his path), despite the hardships, and will certainly achieve what he wants.

Waste:
Distorted display of generosity. All that is needed to transform this quality is to figure out what, to whom and when to sacrifice, so that it benefits everyone. Waste does not bring any real benefit to anyone, because it is an unreasonable act. But if you show generosity in the right place, at the right time, and to worthy people, it will be of immense benefit to everyone, including the donor. Proper donation is a separate large and important topic, which you can briefly get acquainted with by reading the article "The Law of Donation, or How to Become Happier."

Disgust:
This quality indicates a tendency towards cleanliness, external and internal. Cleanliness is a prerequisite for a happy (spiritual) life. Deep down, a person understands that purity is closely related to happiness, but he may not yet realize that if there is no spirituality, then purity in itself will not make him completely happy. A squeamish person seeks spirituality on secondary grounds, rejecting everything that is unclean. He reaches for the light of knowledge, avoiding the darkness of ignorance, preferring the positive to the negative. Communicating with spiritual people, a person ensures the transformation of disgust into discrimination. Thanks to this, his life is cleansed of everything impure and unnecessary, and a person begins to understand what it means to be happy.

Rudeness:
Indicates a tendency to protect, but now this tendency is distortedly manifested as attempts at self-defense (protecting one's selfish interests). Rudeness is the opposite of patronage, and if you choose a worthy object of protection, this quality undergoes a transformation and becomes positive and useful.

Hypocrisy:
This quality is based on the forgotten ability to distinguish truth from illusion, soul from body, spiritual from material. A person who himself led a double life (in any of its manifestations) can understand that everyone would like to be good, but life often forces us to play by different rules. Such a vision makes a person tolerant and understanding, able to easily understand the depth of various psychological problems and help solve them. Such people, having transformed hypocrisy into profundity and harmony, become good psychologists and consultants. We need to learn to find a balance between spiritual and material, between different spheres of activity, between external and internal, which will make our life harmonious and positive.

Treason and betrayal:
These negative qualities indicate an underlying ability to easily give up the worst for the better. Giving up the bad for the good is a fundamental principle of human development. Reasonable people abandon dirty for the sake of the clean, from the negative for the sake of the positive, from stupidity and ignorance for the sake of gaining knowledge and wisdom. From the outside, this may look like betrayal and betrayal, but reasonable people who refuse harmful for the sake of useful will not be guided by the opinion of those who are below their level of development. However, you need to try not to spoil the relationship by giving up one thing for the other, if the relationship can be maintained in order to benefit others. The art of human development consists in giving up nonsense in such a way as not to offend those who are not yet ready to follow our example. Cheating and betrayal is the opposite of positive qualities - determination and determination.

Lust for Glory:
It is a hidden urge to be effective. A famous person, fanned by glory, attracts masses of people who copy his words and actions. People tend to imitate celebrities. The only question is what qualities such a public leader possesses, because thanks to him the destinies of people change - for the better or for the worse, and he will receive "his own percentage" from this contribution to society, according to the law of karma. If such a person has good qualities, then this is a very effective way to improve the life of society as a whole.

How to transform your qualities:
The secret of transformation is very simple: you need to communicate more with people who have the qualities that you lack. In other words, connect more with those with strong positive tendencies. It is not for nothing that they say “with whom you will lead, from that you will gain”: under the influence of a positive environment, our own negative qualities are transformed into initial positive ones. In addition, you need to try to avoid communicating with people who have negative qualities, since this has the opposite effect - we become infected with negativity and adopt a bad character.

What if we don't have the right people in our environment, but we don't want to look for them, there is no time, we are afraid, we are shy, etc.? There is a way out - you need to listen to their lectures, watch their videos, read their books or attend their seminars. Of course, live communication is preferable, but if it is not, then the listed options will also work. The transformation of qualities occurs in those moments when we contact the corresponding qualities of another person or people, and regardless of whether we are aware of this, or even have no idea of what is happening and how. Simply by communicating more in the society of good people, we begin to notice how our inner transformation is taking place, how positive tendencies are reviving in our heart, how our character is changing. In addition, we begin to understand the higher goal and move towards it.

Let your own life always transform for the better!
