Uncorrupted Stand

Summary

Taking an "Uncorrupted Stand" involves approaching situations without being influenced by personal biases, either positive or negative, and observing reality without the interference of habitual thoughts or self-perceptions.

Abstract

The concept of an "Uncorrupted Stand" as described in the text is a stance of neutrality and presence, free from the corruption of one's intelligence by self-imposed beliefs or external pressures. It is not about affirming one's ability or admitting defeat but rather about seeing things as they truly are, without the overlay of continuous internal dialogue. This stand is characterized by the absence of both self-doubt and overconfidence, allowing for an unfiltered view of reality. It is a conscious break from automatic responses and a deep dive into understanding the true driving forces behind one's actions. The result is a fresh perspective, unclouded by preconceived notions, where whatever arises—beautiful or ugly, calm or panic—is met with an unforced, natural presence.

To take an uncorrupted stand

to take an uncorrupted stand is to not say — I can do this I must do this I must face this I should do this I will do this

and more importantly to not say I can stand

to take an uncorrupted stand is also to not say — I can’t do this I will mess up I am not capable this is not for me I cannot face it

to take an uncorrupted stand is perhaps to simply see what is it in reality when you aren’t continuously corrupting your intelligence with neither positive nor negative thoughts

to take an uncorrupted stand is also to not give in to what you believe about yourself be it strong or weak; but to simply see what is it for real when you aren’t busy corrupting your experience

to take an uncorrupted stand is also and perhaps for the first time to take a break from slipping into habitual reflexes in a totally unconscious way; but to begin to see it what is driving it

what might come up what you might see — ugly or beautiful, calm or panic — you aren’t concerned standing unforced and uncorrupted

to take an uncorrupted stand is perhaps to see with fresh eyes for the first time.
