Bis zuletzt die Kontrolle behalten

Frederick S. Perls, der Vater der Gestalttherapie und Autor von Büchern wie Das Ich, der Hunger und die Aggression wollte auch in seiner Sterbestunde im Krankenhaus die Kontrolle behalten:
Eine Krankenschwester berichtete davon, dass sie dem sterbenskranken Perls geraten hatte, im Bett zu bleiben und die Bettpfanne zu benutzen anstatt zur Toilette zu gehen, da ihn solch eine Anstrengung hätte umbringen können. Ungeachtetdessen hievte sich Perls aus dem Bett. Auf dem Weg zur Toilette sagte er:

"Niemand sagt mir, was ich tun soll."

Es waren seine letzten Worte, ehe er zu Boden fiel und starb.

Refraining from the 'should' meme

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

(↓)

Shoulds may induce retaliation.

It is unrealistic as well as eventually injurious to believe that other people "should" adopt and live by one's own personal standards, morals, and code of conduct as well as interpretation of reality. Projected moralism is always expressed as "should" and often leads to resentment, hatred, grudges, or even retaliatory vengeance – and, of course, war (such as the naïve American view that all other nations "should" be democracies). One can, by choice, reject the temptation to habitual judgementalism. The result is a great inner peace. Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from David R. Hawkins, edited by Scott Jeffrey, Reflection of June 6th, S. 85, January 2011

Female questioner: I should be enjoying this.
Answer: Don’t give me any 'shoulds!'

Fallacy of hypothetical regretting 'shoulds'

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

[The mind]’ll politicize everything; it’ll moralize (isn’t that awful?); it’ll idealize how things should be; it’ll hypothesize and rewrite history.

Source unknown

[Paraphrased] The statement "I shouldn't have done that." holds an error.
Explanation: "The hypothesized is believed to be a reality."

I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 193, 2003

There is an inherent fallacy in the proposition that "I could have" or "should have" because, in reality, if one really "could have" they obviously "would have" if all conditions were favorable to a better choice.

Transcending Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, chapter 4 "Grief", S. 103, 2005

Relativism denies the existence of the absolute and says that anything can mean anything one wants it to mean. By that reasoning, one can say that men should be free to have relations with young boys, that it’s okay to kill.

Sedona Seminar Identification and Illusion, 3 DVD set, 14. August 2004

The hypothetical is always wrong! If you could have, you would have! "I should have done this or that!"

'Shoulds' as used in casual worldly language

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

It is pointless to hold a position that catastrophes shouldn't 'happen' or that the innocent 'didn't deserve it', or 'isn't it awful', or 'it must be somebody's fault'.

I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 179, 2003

While the world may have the expectation that the life of a spiritually committed person should be holy and tranquil, quite often the opposite may occur.

I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 337, 2003

As citizens, we're asking, "Should these companies reveal what they know?"

Interview with David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., presented by the US American magazine Holistic Networker, Gina Mazza Hillier, 17. June 2009

Trying to change the world is presuming you know better than God how the world should be.

Sedona Satsang Q&A, Sedona Creative Life Center, 2 CD set, 12. July 2006

Answer: There are three basic styles that can be described.

Discovery of the Presence of God. Devotional Nonduality, S. 83, 2007

Question: How then should one best relate to the world?
Answer: To be 'in' it but not 'of' it. The world is a means and not an end.

Discovery of the Presence of God. Devotional Nonduality, chapter 5 "Clarifications", S. 103, 2007

Question: How can I know if I should continue to date a certain person?
Answer: We don’t calibrate that kind of question. I don’t want to rob you of the karma of dealing with it.
Ask yourself: To what degree does this fulfill what you value?

Sedona Seminar The Ego and The Self, 3 DVD set, 11. December 2004

Question: You had major surgery without anesthesia. If I have pain (i.e. headache). Should I just be with the pain?
Answer: You can use the technique of just being with the phenomena. Don't label it. Let go of trying to change it.

Subjunctive 'Should' phrases by D. Hawkins

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

Unless one is unreservedly willing to surrender one's very life and die for God, then spiritual purification should be the goal of one's endeavor instead of enlightenment.

Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from David R. Hawkins, edited by Scott Jeffrey, Reflection of July 7th, January 2011

When you're attacked, what should your position be? The position should be to stand up for truth, to be answerable and to stand for truth. Whatever the consequences.

Suppositional 'Should' phrases by D. Hawkins

When you leave the body you automatically find yourself in the realm of your own vibration because that is what you identify with and are attracted to. So that should handle the afterlife.

'Should' phrases by D. Hawkins

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

My hope as author has been that this work might undo the very sources of pain, suffering and failure, and assist the evolution of human consciousness in each of us to rise to the level of joy that should be the essence of man’s experience.

Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, S. 8, Veritas Books, 1995

I. Reality and Subjectivity, 2003

Defects are inherent the ego's structure and should not be taken personally.

I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 183, 2003

The ego puts up resistances and it struggles for survival. Therefore, when its proclivities arise, they should be viewed as a sign of success and not of failure. Instead of dismay, the surfacing of the ego's resistances should be taken as a sign of accomplishment.

I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 183-184, 2003

The well-disciplined mind should only speak when requested to perform a task.

Transcending Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, S. 234, 2006

Spiritual students should accept the reality that they are already gifted.

Transcending Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, chapter 18 "Full Enligtenment", S. 304, 2006

It is necessary to have faith in a pathway and clear away doubts to ascertain if they are realistic or merely forms of resistance. A seeker should have the security and support of inner certainty and firm conviction that are consequent to study, personal research, and investigation. Thus, a pathway should be intrinsically reconfirming by discovery and inner experience.

Discovery of the Presence of God. Devotional Nonduality, S. 204, 2007

The incorporation of spiritual values should be for its own sake rather than for some imaginary gain or control that paradoxically counters and obstructs the primary intention.

Geständnis eines ehemaligen Normopathen: Abstandnehmend von einer Welt des Sollens

Ich gehörte zu jener seltsamen Rasse von Menschen,
die treffend beschrieben werden als Leute, die
ihr Leben lang Dinge tun, die ihnen zuwider sind,
um Geld zu verdienen, das sie nicht wollen,
um Dinge zu kaufen, die sie nicht brauchen,
um Leute zu beeindrucken, die sie nicht mögen.

Emile Gauvreau (1891-1956) US-amerikanischer Zeitungs- und Zeitschriftenredakteur, Journalist, Romanschriftsteller, zitiert in: Barbara Sher (*1935) US-amerikanische Karriere- und Lifestyle-Coach, Referentin, Autorin zum Thema Zielerfüllung, Für deine Träume ist es nie zu spät.

Sag nie: "Ich muss!" –
Wollen ≠ Sollen

Sag nie: "Ich muss!" – Du schmiedest eine Kette!
Nicht Sklave, frei geboren ist der Geist.
Es ist sein Rat, der deinen Weg dir weist.
Erwarte nicht, dass dich ein Mensch errette.
Du selbst hast Macht, dein Wesen zu verwandeln,
und deine Wandlung wandelt dein Geschick.
Dem Zwang entwachsend, schmiedest du dein Glück.
Das Königswort "Ich will" bestimmt dein Handeln.
Sag nie: "Ich muss!" – Das ist ein Wort für Knechte.
Der Weise will und nimmt die Pflichten an.
Es dient sich selbst, der andern dienen kann.
Sein Wollen wahrt ihm seine Königsrechte!

"Wir müssen was wollen." "Ihr wollt nichts." "Ihr sollt wollen müssen." Das ist auch ein Cargo-Kult, immer zu sagen "Wir müssten endlich wirksam sein." […] Es kommt darauf an, wollen zu wollen und nicht müssen zu müssen. […] Und Sie kommen dann hierher, lassen sich einmal den Kopf waschen und sagen dann 'Ja, wir sollen mal was wollen wollen'. Das geht so nicht. Videovortrag von Prof. Dr. Gunter Dueck (*1951) deutscher Professor für Mathematik, visionärer Dozent, weltanschaulich-philosophischer Sachbuchautor, Cargo-Kulte, veranstaltet von re:publica 2016, 3. Mai 2016, YouTube Film, Minute 51:07, 1:01:39 Dauer, eingestellt 4. Mai 2016

Cargo-Kulte entstehen, wenn man beobachtete Rahmenbedingungen richtig steckt, ohne dass das wesentlich Erhoffte geschieht, weil etwas Zentrales nicht verstanden wurde.

Schlussfolgerung

Wenn ich nur darf, wenn ich soll, aber nie kann, wenn ich will, dann mag ich auch nicht, wenn ich muss.
Wenn ich aber darf, wenn ich will, dann mag ich auch, wenn ich soll, und dann kann ich auch wenn ich muss.
Denn schließlich: Die können sollen, müssen wollen dürfen. Beobachtung eines unbekannten deutschen Autors

Beobachtung

Sechs Wörtchen nehmen mich in Anspruch jeden Tag: Ich soll, ich muss, ich kann, ich will, ich darf, ich mag. Friedrich Rückert [Freimund Raimar] (1788-1866) deutscher Übersetzer arabischer, hebräischer, indischer und chinesischer Dichtung, Lyriker, Die Weisheit des Brahmanen, Band 2, Leipzig, 1837

Internet-Schlagwort: "Ich kann, weil ich will, was ich muss."

Was ist aber von dem ruhmredigen Ausspruche der Kraftmänner [...] zu halten: »Was der Mensch will, das kann er«? Er ist nichts weiter als eine hochtönende Tautologie: was er nämlich auf den Geheiß seiner moralisch-gebietenden Vernunft will, das soll er, folglich kann er es auch thun (denn das Unmögliche wird ihm die Vernunft nicht gebieten). Immanuel Kant [BW 460] (1724-1804) deutscher Philosoph der Aufklärung, Autor, Anthropologie in pragmatischer Hinsicht, Erstes Buch, Kapitel 12, "Vom Können in Ansehung des Erkenntnißvermögens überhaupt", S. 148, Akademieausgabe Band VII, 1798

Wir sind gewöhnt, sogenannte moralische Fragen mit dem Wort 'sollen' zu verknüpfen, mit dem Gedanken an Gebote. Forderungen richten sich jedoch an unseren Willen. Um etwas zu tun, muss ich es wollen. Wenn wir etwas sollen, dann heißt das, wir sollen es wollen.

Quotes by various other sources

Personal avowal

If I only may when I shall, but never can when I want, then I also don’t want when I must. Yet if I may when I want, then I also want when I shall, and furthermore, I can when I must. After all, those who shall be able must be allowed to want. Observation made by an unknown German author

Recommendation

You are not allowed to use the words: "Always", "Never", "Blame", "Deserve", "Entitled", "Special". Nothing is special about you [anybody]. Audio presentation by Caroline Myss Myss.com (*1952) US American spiritual teacher, mystic, medical intuitive, bestselling author, How Times of Change Influence Your Sacred Contracts, sponsored by "Celebrate your Life" conference, Phoenix, Arizona, archived in CMED Free Media, minute 1:04:54, 1:18:19 duration, 5.-8. November 2010

Phrases like "I'm always ...", "I will/did never ...", "I blame you/myself ...", "I should ...", "I should have ...",
"I deserve ...", "I'm entitled to ...", "I'm special ..." do impede the spiritual path.

Appeal

We must all learn to live together as brothers or we will all perish together as fools. We are tied together in the single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality. And whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the way God’s universe is made; this is the way it is structured. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) US American Baptist minister, activist, leader of the African American civil rights movement, Sermon Keep Moving From This Mountain, sponsored by Temple Israel of Hollywood, 25. February 1965

Conclusion

If the person insists on a certain program, and doesn't listen to the demands of his own heart, he's going to risk a schizophrenic crackup. Such a person has put himself off center. He has aligned himself with a program for life, and it's not the one the body's interested in at all. The world is full of people who have stopped listening to themselves or have listened only to their neighbors to learn what they ought to do, how they ought to behave, and what the values are that they should be living for. Joseph Campbell, Ph.D. [LoC 410] (1904-1987) US American mythologist, expert in comparative mythology and comparative religion, author, six part PBS television documentary The Power of Myth, interviewing host Bill Moyers, chapter 36, S. 181, 21-26 June 1988

"Woulda Coulda Shoulda"

Hypothetical or subjunctive reasoning

The expression is actually an informal rendering of three conditions: would have, could have and should have. These are considered subjunctive moods, because they imply possible or theoretical conditions, otherwise known as wishful thinking.

42 principles of Maat

At least eight out of the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament were taken from the Egyptian Principles of Ma'at written at least 2000 years earlier. The 42 Principles of Ma’at are one of Africa's, and the world's, oldest sources of
moral and spiritual instruction. Ma'at, the Ancient Egyptian divine principle of truth, justice, and righteousness,
is the foundation of natural and social order and unity.
