forget the nation situation, out of one's control, so don't
worry about it. don't be tied up with religion, then one
has a free mind for thinking as an individual, and do
everything you can to fix family problems, if that is
impossible, move on and know you tried your best, and
be secure with those thoughts and feelings.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the United States has by far the highest level of religious observance and the weakest social security system of any modern western nation.

Alan Watts wrote The Wisdom of Insecurity. The basic premise is that there can be no security, that change is the only constant. I liken security to trying to stand in a flowing stream. If you have ever tried it, you know it is impossible. The current washes the gravel out from under you and you fall and get washed downstream. Wisdom is relaxing and flowing with the stream instead of fighting against it. People who struggle may become exhausted and drown. Life is a free flow of energy. If you learn to flow with it, to cease struggling, it will carry you along without effort.

Just what is psychological security? The ability to keep from going insane? The ability to protect one's mind from going off to lalaland?
I am secure in the thought that my family and friends love me and love doing stuff for me as much as I love them and love doing stuff for them. Anything else is irrelevant.

Does thought fundamentally, basically, give security, psychologically? Thought has its place; but when thought assumes that it can bring about psychological security then it is living in illusion. Thought wanting ultimate security has created a thing called god; and humanity clings to that idea. Thought can create every kind of romantic illusion. And when the mind, psychologically, seeks security in the dogma of the Church, or some other dogmatic assertion, or whatever it is, it is seeking security in the structure of thought.
Thought is the response of experience and knowledge, stored up in the brain as memory; that response is therefore always moving from the past. Now, is there security in the past?

Sometimes a nice delusion is absolutely necessary for the organisms survival I guess. If you have just lost an arm in your washing machine I should imagine the first instinct of the mind would be to reassemble the arm like new, depending on your battery size and available BTUs any person should just be able to function just fine on the contrived arm untill such time that it has regenerated following the pattern. A diet of onions garlic and granberries aids greatly in the new suspension of the manufactured arm in the corporeal medium, I've heard it said.

So where is security? There may be no security at all. Just think about it, , is there security? Life may not have security; life is meant to be lived, not to create problems and then try to solve them. It is meant to be lived.Psychological security is just an illusion -fortunately so are most of the answers that you place in my posts .

Life is for living well they say, lest we forget, simply living won't get us anywhere but right back at rung one or lower if we've been bad. The trick, I've been told, is to cultivate the distinction between subjective and objective reality and then re-mix the gas of both into a more redily combustable soul fuel.

Sometimes your interpretations of things, your terminology and definitions are lacking, so what you end up posting borders on gibberish.
Would you like to get back to the topic yet, or do you want to continue talking about me some more?
