16368 - The targets should not be readily achievable
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias
The targets should not be readily achievable, otherwise there are not objectives but just routine. So when you choose the target to actualize, think, that it is good to feel surprised the first time you think about it. There are five levels in what we could call a target. The first level is reality and that is the lowest. Usually we find that first level in politicians who we choose , but we find them often, when in fact we forget that we voted them in. Every nation has the politicians it deserves.
Usually therefore, we have the politician, he says he will change everything , then he is elected and then he says “things are too difficult.” And finally they do not change so quickly, so we will change them slower.Finally they may not change at all.
But normally at that moment we should have said to him “then it was no need for that to happen.” But we don’t do that, and he is re-elected next time.In any case we choose what he gives us. Slowly we enter what we call realpolitik and realpolitik is a reverse action to use strategy in a wrong way.Because he tells you approximately, that you will not do anything special. So later you believe it and because you believe it ,in actual fact you don’t act, and then he is verified.
It’s unbelievable, if you think about it, what a delay we may produce when we act massively. Therefore, ‘where it can’t be done,we don’t do it, as we didn’t do it, it didn’t happen,so we were correct. “After the fact,-it’s related to the mental level, we climb levels and we usually find it difficult- the first level that is characteristic is the action.
The action of course is also connected with the other action. And therefore if we pay attention ,after the Gospels we have the Acts of the Apostles, we don’t have the words of the Apostles. We have the word of Christ, we have the Acts of the Apostles. It is no coincidence that the church chooses some words very seriously, and holds on to them for two thousand years, they probably have some significance. So what is the action, how should we call the action? For us it is the difference between the movement and the action.
And we explain as follows: The motion is what we do almost every day, and if we don’t do it ,it would not matter,and whether we do it or not it can be corrected. The act creates a phase change. So if there is no action, there is no reality change . Now you may think something that is a little strange: If in fact the act changes reality in what space of time does the action belong ? It belongs to the “outer-reality”, which will be the next reality.
So, initially when you hear for the first time about that action you say, “But this will not happen ‘, then you say ‘ it can’t happen ,then it ‘happens’, then you say ‘it happened’, then you say ‘how did it happen? ‘.
So, initially we don’t believe, but later at the end when we see it, we still don’t believe it, but we see that it is unbelievable. Therefore, the action will create a phase change which later is different.
Very often, therefore, in life we make many movements. This allows us to fill our everydayness and at the end taking no action. There is always the one act for everyone: It’s death. The idea is to take actions even prior. After the actions we must have another level and that is the level of vision.
That is, someone who takes an action which actually changes the standards, must have a vision. If he does not have a vision he will not be able to take actions and will just make movements. In order to have a vision he must have thought of an utopia. The characteristic of utopias is that utopias are those that produce reality. That is very impressive. The different societies live in the utopia of the previous. So the previous assumed that ,”this will never happen,” those, because they experience it, say “how stupid were the previous”, but the most impressive is that they still assume that future ones will not exist
Because if they considered that the following existed then they would know that we, who could be in what we call utopia, will be the reality of others. For example, if we say that Cyprus will be freed in total, there are many who do not believe it, there are many who say, hopefully, there are many who say ‘it would have been good, there are many who say ,it would have been good if it had happened.
