( excerpt 1)
on the essence of o.C.D.
By mr. Hei xi
1
what is o.C.D?
Someone else already defined it:
obsessive-compulsive disorder (ocd) is an
anxiety disorder, first and foremost. It
is not a thought disorder. The essential
features of ocd are recurrent unwanted
obsessions that create an awareness of
alarm or threat. Persons typically engage
in some avoidance or escape response in
reaction to the obsessive threat.
Obsessions take the form of either a
perceived threat of physical harm to
oneself or others or, in some cases, more
of a metaphysical or spiritual threat to
oneself, or perhaps a deity.
Actually ! The essence of o.C.D. Is that
the subjective requirement disobeys the
objective reality, and the inconsistency
and refusal of subjective requirement to
the objective reality.
As is known to all, the objective material
world is always characterized by practice
in accordance with the law of nature. In
the very beginning period of o.C.D., it is
a normal concept, will or action which
anyone could possibly or accidentally
have. But with the effect not only from
interior environment but also from the
exterior environment, (however, the
interior is the leading factor), your
inferiority complex and distrust grow as
time goes by. In this way the subjective
requirement disobeys and refuses the
objective reality, including those
reasonable concept, will and action
however, fact will never be changed
according to your thoughts. It’s
natural and understandable for a
reasonable concept, will or action to
occur in this circumstances. And these
concept, will or action are led by
complicated situation you are in.The
harder you are trying to resist the
opinion by performing compulsion, the
deeper you get involved in it. -- if you
can understand this in the very beginning
, you would never start to resist or
refuse it .Then while the circumstances
change, as long as you are not in the
exterior and interior pathogenic
situation, the compulsion will fade away
gradually.
Just as for your resistance and refusal
towards this reasonable concept, will or
action, you will stick to it ,and this
persistent consolidation is the reason
that the reasonable concept ,will or
action live on.
2
so the essence of o.C.D. Is that one’s
refusal and negation of himself! Frankly
speaking, it’s the extreme performance
of self-inconfidence and self-denying.
In fact, all the mental suffering and pain
originated from the feeling of
self-denying and self-inconfidence .
Repeated denying, refusal and resistance
of yourself! The core is severe self-
inconfidence (or self-denying).
On this ground, the essence of o.C.D. Is
one’s escape and slaughter of himself!
-------- lay down arms, and you
will be a buddha. ( this is quoted from
buddhism belief ,that means get rid of
your resistance and your refusal , you
will be recovered)
3
acceptance of yourself!
--the everlasting sentence can be
found in all the mysterious ancient
oriental intelligence books and even all
the ancient oriental traditional religion
beliefs!
Yes, you never cherish yourself !
You can't put up with yourself even for
one second.
So, you repel yourself right upon your
wake up every morning. You are looking
for all kinds of means and methods, you
look through thousands of the
psychological books , you are exhausted
and want to get rid of yourself! You even
want to kill yourself in the real world
but left a pure ideology. -- suppress
yourself, and massacre yourself in every
minute.
--you will never stop until you are
extremely exhausted, you allow yourself to
take a rest.
4
you hate yourself in the real world for a
long time.
He is too bad! How can I like him? No, I
can not.
It’s just like a floating gourd , I have
no choice but to escape.
But I am unwilling to do it! Then ,after
taking a breath ,you regain some strength,
then you are immerged by the fierce battle
immediately.-- the two forces are fighting
in your mind. You spare no effort to push
the floating broken gourd down into the
water by your perseverance, in the hope of
eventual success.—you are endeavoring
but feel tired, anyway you are carrying
on! Until you feel the exhaustion again,
you lay down the resistance for seconds
,once again you find that it is floating
!.... The more you hold the idea, the
more you feel tired, but it can’t stop
in any way!
Why do you have to control the idea?
What a deep inferiority complex!
5
puti is the root of bothering . (puti is
a kind of tree originated in india, as the
ancestor of buddhism got final success
under this tree ,so it is considered to be
a hallowed tree in buddhism ever after )
6
when could I get out of the circle! What
time could I walk out of this deep hole!
The compulsion is just like newton’s
action and reaction—where there is the
oppression, where the counterattack will
be.
So we should understand the oriental
philosophy “real acceptance” not
“superficial acceptance”. For a real
acceptance, the resistance will also be
accepted; for a superficial acceptance,
the acceptance could also be considered as
resistance!
Superficial acceptance is meaningless,
moreover ,it will be strengthened as time
goes by, as your superficial acceptance is
an extreme performance of interior
resistance.
For example, conceit is not real
self-confidence. It’s just superficial
confidence, and actually it's an extreme
performance of inferiority complex.
7
in order to explain my opinion on ocd more
clearly, I used to post in the forum about
my full understanding of oriental
buddhism--- now I just copy the following
post from a forum, only for your reference
and viewpoint exchange:
‘it seems that we don’t have an
accurate comprehension about the ancient
oriental philosophy “acceptance”’.
--- 521 happy: “ I believe that we
should not only accept completely the
symptoms, but also you should show mercy,
love ,sympathy, understanding to it, then
it will fade away as soon as possible, but
I can not utilize this method.
--- 521 happy: "in the oriental
psychology, “acceptance” doesn’t
mean any way , giving up is acceptance.
Do not require yourself to accept
whole-heartedly, let alone require
yourself to show mercy, love ,sympathy,
understanding to it which make it fade
away----as your attitude is what I am
talking about as superficial acceptance .
As your acceptance is one method to show
interior resistance ,not real oriental
acceptance.
--consequently, superficial acceptance is
resistance!
--“ever since then you can feel lots of
suffering”, “…it's no use to accept
the symptoms”. Only when we can get
the essence out of the symptoms can solve
this problem . So try not to be
persistent on the symptom. So I think wu
ban zhu’s words contain heixi's
viewpoint too: to accept the thinking in
your heart, that is, real acceptance.
--“ever since then suffering”, your
understanding is after a mature practice.
To many people who have no idea of sen
tian treatment and they oppose the
symptoms all time, it is good for them to
accept the symptom.
--you said, "so there’s no need to
persevere the symptoms so much." a real
buddhism acceptance is not only "no
need”, but "not over". It's giving up
bigotry thoroughly.
--"hoho, wu di, no need to analyze." you
should regard the nature with reverence.
O.C.D. Is a perfect logical circle.
Your endeavor is useless.
Your analysis is with perfect logic.
Your analysis is really penetrating.
You are of wisdom.
-- although you are penetrating, you
should not neglect an important matter:
you are still in the logical circle.
The more thoroughly you analyze, the
farther your target is.
---laozi once said: “qichuniyuan,
qizhinishao”, which means the same
thing.
--buddha said: the evil wisdom.
That's why the wiser a man is, the
deeper he gets into the problem, however,
a farmer may easily understand the meaning
of giving up.
In fact, jingangjing (an ancient lection)
has concluded this “strange disorder”
for a thousand years.--- there are some
lection to prove that. All the efforts
you make create an illusion in reality,
just like dew that disappears in no time.
When you put down all the burdens in your
heart, empty persistent will fade away.
Thus your dream is waken up.
The buddhism said, "bitterness has no
bounds, repent and the shore is at hand."
yes, analysis is just like "the sea of
bitterness". Bitterness has no bounds
indeed. Where is the bank?
It's here--the buddhism is not in
other place, you are buddha now.
To giving up to liberate the ration is as
important as giving up to liberate desire
and passion.
Life is the best medicine!
If you want to come out of the circle,
throw yourself into life and practice!
8
to those who have an obvious symptom for a
long time, you should accept a special
treatment. We must pull you out of the
obsession. Like in the chan sect (an old
sect in taoism) there is an expression
“shout loudly” to wake the thinker.
It's too difficult to let the patients to
break away the obsession on themselves.
They can hardly get out of the nightmare
if there’s no such thing like a
well-arranged stimulation.
9
this priority complex is the
lost-self-confidence.
The phobia and the nervousness are
just because of your
lost-self-confidence.--- this is the
implication of the compulsion.
For the compulsion to give up
thoroughly is just the admission
thoroughly.--only when do you resign
yourself to the compulsion and
lost-self-control thoroughly ,you can try
your best to start a new life! You have
the symptoms of the compulsion. The real
buddhist said ,the trouble is potty ---for
the compulsion, potty is the symptoms in
fact.
10
when all the thoughts are blasted, you can
come to the buddhism at once.---this is
shijiamouni view.
11
to the patients with obstinately,
sticking to a wrong course. Admission,
rejection, fitness, unfitness, analysis or
no analysis, despair or confidence etc.
You always run the rolls in the
compulsion.
The buddhism declaims that actually there
is no compulsion , all troubles and
worries are made by yourself.
Just do what you want!
--this is called pu ti ben wu shu.
12
someone says you must despair
thoroughly, or you can't recover your
health.-- in fact you can recover your
health if you haven't despaired
thoroughly.--that's the state within meet
but beyond demand.
A popular view point ,believes that
you can get what you want from nlp and
success and latent consciousness.
I clear it's with wisdom to the
compulsion. The basic of control
oppression. It can make into castles in
the air only. In fact I just only to call
attention to you all that some compulsion
recovered their health with no despair. I
have not refuted others views in fact.
Inaction or action is as if the light and
the darkness. The compulsion is the same
as the active life in philosophy.
When I learned the success
scholarship, I always hope I could rebuild
myself and win myself. Until one day I
understand suddenly. I can't win myself
.Never!-- finally I understand I can
defeat myself without a fight
.--yourself is just the doctrines of the
ancients ages.--though weakness. Laozi
said: where there's a will, there's a way.
Yes, it’s impossible to submit
oneself to the rule of the tougher
strength.
Don't massacre yourself any more.
You'll go farther, whenever you
studies.
Turn around yourself, no repression
and love yourself.
Repent before it is too late and
you are saved.
---it's meaning that the polluted
water can clean after a quick wait.
No action ,no need to stir up. --because
the more pollute it is ,the more stir
up..--daode classics says, inaction only
can action.
13
heixi explains scientifically the
most important question of the compulsion.
So he copy one article.--in brief, the
compulsion is not very complicated,
the compulsion is just the
groundless worry .The patients worries
themselves.--if you forget it , you'll be
the half of recovering your health.
--if you affirm that you
haven't the symptoms already ,i can say
you 'll recover your health basically
heixi called this interactivity
with tentatively mind and psychology
temporarily.
If you profound faith in the
obsession, you are the compulsion
indeed.--you'll become worse, you'll
regard the minds as the compulsion.
If you develop self-denying up to
extreme. It's a black hole.
Don't believe appearing right and
some great sermon.
Believe you and trust yourself are
very important, this feeling is important
much.-- follow others is the worst
error.--repeat the worlds of others just
like a parrot.
Firmly believe in yourself, and
you can come out.--firmly believe in that
you can come out yourself ,and then you
can recover your health
it's a simple principle.
My response
or it is not the real self-confident.
Just like building a high building in the
sea bench.---the building stands on the
loose ground.
You haven't owned the real life.
You will feel very tired.
You can't lessen yourself in your
mind.
Argue is no meaning. Practice is
the sole criterion for testing truth.
After a year you can see ,
it is another knife.
Turn around you mind, face
yourself, face squarely yourself.
After a while, you can lessen
yourself, get a real harmonious.
My communion:
we have called each other, I haven't
negated the others experience in fact.
That's not necessary to despair
thoroughly .And you still can recovery in
fact.
Inaction and action, just like
light and dark, just like the compulsion
and the life,---this is a simple
philosophic theory.
My communion:
yes ,many patients are too
persevering. The blindness in
action--they got the punishment.
Zhikong said,
heixi, your theory is just like
shentian's treatment. I suspect your
treatment is effective or not!!!!!!
My communion:
haha, zhikong, it is not my theory.
It exist a few thousand ago in china in
ancient.
Sentian's treatment should use for
reference from the buddhism I think.
Though shentian's treatment is
good, it is the different from the
ancient's ideas.；；
are you serious to suspect
sentian's treatment or to suspect the
ancient ideas to treat the patients?
Shentian said the people should do
the useful things. I think it's correct!
I think:
1. Forcing live.
. Especially to the serious the
patients we should use the special
way.
For example , we ever reported "a
blow and a shout to waken one from error"
in buddhism . It aimed to pull out them
from the state with the force.
It's too difficult to depend on
themselves to pull it down. They can't
wake from the state without the reasonable
arrange.
It's obtains that lack the dynamics
to do the useless things only. Unless
adopted the special steps.
Need much dynamics ---or you will
make a useless attempt.
2.Need much time and much quantity.
Only the sustained quantity can lead to
the qualitative change.
3. To do the physical labor is
more than the mental labor, that is the
best.
4.Only do they not resist to the
symptoms and on the base of the nature,
inaction, given-up.---this is very
important.
5.To do the interesting thing. To
do what you like is better.
....
Etc.
