How much self-control do you have? (0-10 scale)
In this imbalanced, overly-human-built
environment that enables unnatural, unhealthy, bad habits
I am 4 - 8, usually 5 or 6, and hope to be 5-8,
especially 6 or 7 in future
0 –
abnormal, retarded development like a mental/physical handicap
1 – worse
than animal because this person also
takes enabling or deliberate, stupid risks
2 – basically
like an animal, like “I need a master to control me”
3 – usually
like an animal, like “I need to have laws and social order”
4 – sometimes
like an animal, like “Sometimes I need to get away from the social good and upliftment
with down-taking, usually pleasure seeking behaviors (sex, alcohol, toxic
foods, cigarettes, other drugs, etc.)
5 – a more
passive-flexible control, with as much control as needed to keep balance in this
dynamiChanging social world
6 – a more
active-flexible control, “I take or give up control strategically as I intelligently-responsibly
recognize others need me to do so (toward better social harmony/order)”
7 – I
control and make myself in such a way that others do not even (need to) determine
me or my behaviors to begin with
8 – I can do
Sadhguru’s pratyahara exercise!
9 – I have
mastered that exercise, and like a demigod, can do it with my most tantalizing objects of desire right in front of me
10 – Like a God (Nataraja), I can do Sadhguru’s
pratyahara execise even if the whole external world was about to be destroyed
