- Here, episode 23 of my series on Maat invites us to listen to opposing opinions, a lost art nowadays...This invitation is made, not so we agree with people we disagree with, but rather to enable us to better undertand what others think and the world we currently live in. Remember, the goal here is not to convince others but to work on you, on yourself.

Hey MakedaWisdom. Your lettered work have so many erudite moments here that I will like to speak on or add to. But I will conjoin with one of them. I do co-sign to better than ninety percent of your explanations. Another way to look at inducement or manipulation stems from two phrases in psychology called 'intragroup conflict' and 'rate law'.
Some years back, I was viewing a city council meeting wherein a young girl between the ages of seven to ten years old, was giving the microphone to speak on the community matter being discussed. As she began speaking to the mostly quinquagenarian and sexagenarian paneled councillors, some of the councillors said (paraphrasing) "no she should not be allowed to speak on this community matter. I am not going to listen to no child." While others on the panel said (again paraphrasing) "let her speak she has a right to speak." The young girl went on to speak but with vociferous interruptions from the disagreeing panelists. Intragroup conflict is the most common reason why we do not listen to one another. As huemans we need our intellectual and religious positions to find a home (acceptance) in the minds of others, to have that sense of belonging. Otherwise we will be very alone in our actions and thus alienation and aloofness takes over.
Opinions in my assessment are dangerous and have brought to humanity more harm than health. Opinions have oftentimes proven to stoke turmoil, confusion and violence. A good set of references showing how dangerous opinions are are the Reformation movements [(The Massacre of Saint Bartholomew’s Day (1572), The end of the Kingdom of Münster (1536), The German Peasant’s War (1525), The Thirty Years War (1618-1648), and 'Christian violence against non-Christians')] that took place in Europe.
The rate law in short summarizes that the principle (this principle need to be elaborated on) undergirding the nerve impulses is what feeds the amount of stimulation power that will be put out. Are we to accept this principle, this will entail that opposition is a protective [stimulating force] that some of us will respond [stimulation] more or less emotionally or cognitively with. People most of the time protect their teachings and/or the circulating accepted opinions, that they agree with. Overlapping disagreeable words or actions that mount upon an already imbalanced mind(s) will evoke the unbalanced individual or group to action. Its like being caught off guard or being unprepared mentally for what was just spoken or acted out. How muslims react/respond to those who speak ill of or cast in caricature their prophet is a perfect reference to how emotional management can be taboo for some. Therefore attempting to convince or persuade millions of religious people whom are already coping with any number of issues (poverty, school fees, cattle rustling, unemployment, etc.) to avoid being manipulated by an evoker(s) will be a daunting task, to say the least. As I have come to learn, one's own level of developed resilience and patience will determine the strength, healthiness and/or justification of one's emotional response.
To this, being manipulated is not always a bad thing. The bad thing could be what act will follow. There is something called spiritual conviction. This type of conviction, a lot of times, expresses itself in the Principle/Law of Resistance which poises an individual to meet with an opposing force, that which aims or means to undermine the conviction. How many times have we heard parents say to their child or a young person "don't play with me". Such a response is the long held teaching, belief and/or conviction that the adult has been established as the giver and guide of a child or young person. Hence the phrase "respect your elder."
I have been one that has been manipulated by the Principle/Law of Sameness that caused me to lump everyone that was party to a disagreeable position, in the same group. Expending my accumulated knowledge and/or reasoning, sometimes, is something that has been very unattractive to me. A commonly accepted phrase I used to hear as a response to evocation was "do not insult my intelligence." Sometimes lashing out is a verbal tactic, albeit a rise in emotional output, I would also use to push the nonsense away in short order without expending my bank of skills/knowledge/learning. At other times I will use the tactic of comedy with a smile just to diffuse the nonsense or threat that is aiming to undermine my spiritual conviction(s). As my mama used to say when I was a young person "that is breathe you can save." Furthermore, the Principle/Law of Balance which is the essential endowment of Maat, will attempt to deploy a suitable emotion for the reestablishment of harmony among the community of emotions. Both quiet and sound are the keepers of our emotional outputs. The only difference is one is made known to others while the other is pinned in for one's own acknowledgment. Again the amount of stimulated power is what will determine the known and unknown in this case. Oftentimes the evoker has adopted the wayward thinking or force nature thinking of others, of which whom have not gained the concept nor the insight to reason with reconditeness. Nor have these same [others] gained the layers of lessons thin-lining the distinction between instantiation that fuels a materialized object/instance and the violating of a principle that in turn subjectively influences the output of manipulation.
As a tip, deploy Maat's and any other Deistic attribute available to your cognition or bank of learning, to push away evil or to get your desired result. Were Tellurians to begin seeing us as a community of emotions that needs to be harmonized, maybe just maybe we will have a shot at unceasingly experiencing that earthly utopic feeling, only read in novels and seen in screenwritings.
Thank you for your contribution! There are some elements here that I would like to expand on in an upcoming video. In this upcoming video, may I credit you for your contribution or would you rather remain anonymous? Thanks.
In the meantime, I offer the following: some people may not seek to be in harmony with the group so communal harmony is not a primary goal but a personal one, which replicated at the community level foster a greater or quicker expression of maat. But Maat also recognizes that the goal is not a permanent static harmony but one constantly moving in aims to remain balanced.
PS: the next episode deals with harmony...so this comment will make even more sense after that video, which will be posted next month.
