This social disease is lethal, infectious and popular. It differs from suicide only by taking slightly longer. If you are a participant in it, your car is speeding down a mountain pass, your brakes are faulty and there is a cliff coming up fast. This is not scare-mongering. It is unemotional, unfailing Universal Truth.
What You Will Learn On This Post
- How a popular social trend is a definite process of self-destruction;
- Why SDSD is suicide in slow motion;
- What to do to eradicate it, and
- Where to get free advice / guidance if you need it.
Time Is Running Out For You
Are you engaging in SDSD? Are you self-destructing? If so, please, please stop. At once.
If it is a practice you are involved in, time is running out for you and it is strongly recommended that you take evasive action quickly to avoid the upcoming crisis. Your car is virtually speeding down the mountain, the brakes are faulty and there is a cliff coming up fast…
If you are addicted to SDSD — and sadly, many people are — there is only one way to prevent the inevitable. Stop what you’re doing, for your sake and your loved ones. You are placing an order for suffering or disaster, or both, and in this case, the delivery never fails.
You are self-destructing by activating Universal Law to act against you, and it must. And it will. When it does, it is not God punishing you. God cannot and does not punish anyone. Ever! We punish ourselves through ignorance of Universal Law. What follows is based on Universal Law… on Truth.
But first, some brief background info is necessary.
Heads-Up!
Nothing ever happens by chance. Repeat: nothing ever… ‘Just happens.’ There is no such thing as an accident, coincidence, fate, or luck. No illness, no incident ever… ‘Just happens.’
Purely by chance, I found that nothing ever happens, purely by chance. Let this blog be your ‘finding.’
There is only the Law of Cause and Effect. If it happens to you, you are the cause.
Yes…many would not like the sound of that. Some would even want to shoot the messenger. But the statement is a Universal Truth. And shooting the messenger is not going to alter the fact that it is 100% accurate, nor stop your speeding car.
Accepting it is the first vital step to taking full responsibility for your life and everything in it.
There is no effect, result or ‘happening’ without there being a cause, an action, which created the effect. No fire, no smoke. One side of see-saw goes up? Something or someone on the other side caused it to happen.
Positive action gives a positive result. Negative action gives a negative result. Not sometimes, every time and always! No fail!
Just as exact as 2 x 2 = 4, Universal Law is precise and totally objective. No matter who is involved … man, woman, child, prince, pauper, saint, sinner, the time of day, season of the year or the direction of the wind.
Work in harmony with the Law, it helps. Work against it or in ignorance of it, it hurts. Emerson tells us, “Ignorance is the only sin…” Ignorance is the only cause of all suffering and misery, every illness, punishment, poverty, accident etc.
There is no one, no God who ever punishes you. God, being Love, cannot and does not punish anyone.
Man does it all to himself, which is the reason why knowing Universal Law so crucial in life. Ignorance of Universal Law is the only reason man suffers in life.
Think RICH, you get RICH.
Think poor, you get poor.
Now what part of that is it you don’t understand?
So What Is The ‘SDSD’ Syndrome?
It is the all-too-prevalent social disease I‘ve labeled The Self-Destruct Social Disease of SLANDER, spreading negativity about someone for your own selfish ends, whether true or not.
It is clandestinely, slyly trying to hurt or damage someone’s reputation for self-gratification. It is negative and it is wrong. You need to change your thinking or get help to do so. You are poisoning the minds of your audience trying to elevate yourself and demean the other. The acronym ‘SDSD’ is simply an attention-getter.
Slander has become a serious social disease of self-destruction and it is akin to speeding down a mountain road in your car, the brakes are faulty, there’s a cliff coming up fast and there is no warning sign.
A quick reference to our earlier statement has relevance… Negative action… negative result. Like causes like itself. Not sometimes, always!
Slander and suicide are equally deadly, only one takes slightly longer than the other.
“Oh, but it is the truth,” you say. Please answer the question, are you trying to help or hurt the person in question? And unless you can honestly say you were trying to help them, you are in that speeding car. Again, please stop what you’re doing.
Just as acid corrodes the container in which it is kept, negativity corrodes the mind where slander is homed, whether the owner knows it or not. Spread defamation, which is negativity, about another, and you are damaging yourself and your audience. It is usually an entrenched habit, and not a once-off event, making it so much worse.
In many social circles, slander is sadly an accepted ‘in-thing,’ a conversational trend where someone, usually absent, is being vilified, criticized, deliberately dragged down under the guise of social interaction. Meanwhile, neither speaker nor audience is aware of how severely they are damaging themselves.
It Gets Worse
It gets worse when the one pretending to be your friend does it, smiling at you when with you, yet clandestinely dragging you through their conversational sewer at every opportunity they can find.
Then, when back with you again, they smile and act as though everything is fine.
A lower level of moral decay than that is hard to find. Yet the practice is prevalent in many social circles. They are deeply soaked in the SDSD of slander, and foolishly believe that it is a little thing, or that they can escape unscathed.
Be Socially Alert
Whether you are the speaker or the audience in such a scenario, the time to take preventative action is now. You do not want to be the one hearing your doctor say in a very serious tone, with the X-Ray plates in his/her hand “I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but it doesn’t look good…” and you quietly tense up and go cold inside.
Be socially alert, always. Your every thought is a cause, so is every conversation you are involved in, actively or passively.
Every thought you think is an instruction to Universal Law to deliver according to your thoughts, and as sure as day follows night, it must and will deliver as per your instructions. “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he”… remember?
Think RICH
you get RICH.
Think poor,
you get poor.
Now what part of that is it you don’t understand?
It Is Far More Dangerous Than You Think
Just as second-hand smoke is worse for those inhaling the smoke than the smoker, those in the audience, whether the information is true or not, can end up suffering even more than the speaker they are listening to.
No, this is not medical advice, but ask any MD what causes clogged veins and they will tell you that, traced back to its ultimate source, there was ‘something’ that caused the blockage. Check with any expert on Universal Law and they will tell you that in most cases a blockage in the body stems from a blockage in the mind.
Repeat: Nothing Ever ‘Just Happens’
You cannot have a result without a cause. Scientifically it is not possible. Headaches, backaches, forgetfulness, swollen veins and every other ailment are caused. We all got here with a perfect vehicle of a body. How is it then that along the way some come up with diabetes, some with Rheumatism, High Blood pressure, and some even with that dreaded big C?
SHORT DIVERSION
Some years ago, I lay in a hospital bed recovering from a serious operation. Deep gratitude to the team of doctors who fought for five hours to save my life. One morning, a professor with a team of student doctors in tow were doing ward rounds. At my bed, I asked him what caused the mysterious disease that landed me in hospital.
His answer was a classic. He said “Sometimes these things just happen.” It took me years of research to find the answer and now I can say with absolute certainty, “Sorry doctor, with respect, nothing ever just happens. There has to be a cause.”
And in my case, the cause was me taking too many muscle-relaxant pills to cure aching muscles, which the Pharmacist warned me not to overdo.
Did I listen? Of course not. When you’re young, humility and common sense are often not your strong points. They weren’t mine. I was too busy training vigorously to maintain the perfect V, ripped abs and bulging biceps which my then, over-inflated ego insisted I had to have.
Nothing ever… just happens.
So What Is The Cure?
It needs no advanced thinking skills to understand that if you have a leak in the roof, placing a bucket on the floor each time it rains is not the perfect answer, right?
The correct answer is to fix the roof, renew, or replace the worn-out tiles, or the rusted corrugated sheets, but fix the roof.
Yes of course, take the pills that the doctor prescribes, but in most cases, the pills are the equivalent of the bucket on the floor as the remedy for the leaking roof.
The Solution?
Speaker? Stop what you are doing or get help in guiding you to stop. In many cases, as in bullying, people act aggressively to cover their own inferiority complex or a seeking to get attention. Whatever it is, put a stop to it immediately. You may need to get professional help.
Those strange aches and pains usually happen when you really don’t need them, when you get into the senior years, not when you are young and virile.
Listener? Be aware of the kind of conversation you are part of. If it starts going south, either try and change the topic, or simply excuse and remove yourself from the group as soon as you become aware of where the conversation is heading. Respect the regal sanctity of your mind.
Don’t just walk away. For your health, for your future, run away! Friends who damage friends are not worth having.
Think RICH
You get RICH.
Think poor
You get poor.
Now what part of that is it you don’t understand?
Rat Poison Is Not A Health Drink
If the conversation you’re in is about vilifying and demeaning someone else, get out. And the quicker the better. The one you are listening to is not a true friend. He/she is feeding you rat poison or strychnine, and if you stick around, you are drinking it in. Rat poison kills: so does slander.
The time to fix it, the time to change course and take decisive action is now. Not years later, when perhaps you are wracked with excruciating agony, unable to bend your fingers because of the Rheumatism Arthritis, wondering why you have to endure such severe suffering.
Remember our earlier statement…all man’s suffering comes from ignorance. After having read this post, ignorance is no longer an excuse. Take action now!!
Also take the heading of this section literally. Rat poison is really not a health drink.
What About Damage Already Caused?
Your mind is more powerful than anything else in Creation, for your mind IS Creation. You can prevent the negative effect from unfolding if you introduce a complete and sincere mental turn-around programme now. No surface-level sham of regret will do. There is no substitute for the sincerity of integrity.
This self-cleansing is not an event. It is a process, a programme of a complete mental turn-around which includes the all-important forgiving of yourself. Design a programme for yourself, or if you need help, you can call on us anytime. Contact details below.
Be grateful for having woken-up. Deep gratitude makes magic. Replace all and any negativity about the one you might have wronged through thought, word and/or deed and those who listened to you, with positive thoughts of Love and goodness.
No self-flagellation, self-persecution or public confession is needed. You do not have to tell anyone anything, nor do you need anyone else’s forgiveness. Work in the silence of your own mind until you feel the ‘clean’ come over you. If you need help in this regard, write to us. That is what we are here for.
