"I believe that our central problem is that we do not know what or who a human being really is. We lack this knowledge because we have no valid picture of the human WORD, no image of human language, of words in general. This is why we have such trouble with words, why we hit upon the right word so rarely. Everything we do to, for, and against each other is speech of some kind, or ought to be. Yet we are interested in anything but words, these very words by means of which we do everything else. Because we don't know what words are we don't know what humans are." — Georg Kühlewind
How much practical time do we usually devote to the general art of being human? This practical guide to the self-healing of consciousness—it is both a spiritual psychology and a contemporary manual of the inner life—begins by laying out very clearly the unhealthy, unfree nature of today's consciousness.
Methodical self-observation leads to discovering the key to the liberating consciousness from its habitual blind spots and automatisms: the realization of the universal primacy of cognition and the universal availability of its ground, the free attention.
Through attention, a person who practices the author's exercises begins to expand the range of his or her possibilities of understanding and doing. The exercises—based on the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path and Rudolf Steiner's cognitive spiritual path—lead to a new life in which superconscious intuitions gradually take the place of superconscious formations.
This new life is a universal human life of improvisatory, living thinking: a life of presence, pure joy, which is health for human beings.

Believing implies holding onto...being implies potential problem (life) at center of dissolving process (inception towards death). As long as one holds onto; so long remains self discernment burdensome.
Being implies instrument (mind structured within) sound...others shape words to tempt one to ignore that aka spell-craft.
Right/reg - "to move in a straight line"... https://www.etymonline.com/word/right
Sound moves any instrument (life) within a straight line (inception towards death)...others tempt one into a circular conflict (right vs wrong).
Everything implies sound; each thing within implies instrument...others suggest words (logos) to turn instruments inwards (logic) and outwards (reason).
Words represents the articulation of natural sound by means of letters aka ones choice LETTING a chosen one craft spells.
Nature generates being...artificial (suggestion) distracts being from natural (perception).
Con/co - "together"... https://www.etymonline.com/word/com-
Self implies apart from one another...few tempt many together to exploit the resulting friction among them.
Psycho implies natural linear animating power; logy implies artificial logic aka circular thinking. One needs to adapt to psycho/psyche, while resisting the temptation of logy/logic to be able to think straight.
Con (together) scio (to perceive)...ones CONsent to any suggestion by another shapes a CONsensus among many called CONsciousness aka collective conscious aka gestalt intelligence aka hivemind aka golem/goyim etc.
How does one consent to any suggestion? By ones FREE will of choice, which thereby binds itself to a chosen one.
