Definition 2 – Based On Self-Preservation
Mental health is self-preservation. This requires prioritizing self-protection, self-maintenance and self-development. Self is defined as the extended self based on the common spiritual essence within self that is in all else.To a much lesser extent, self is human ancestors, descendants and human communal collective which are responsible to and responsive to all individuals. Likewise, all individuals are responsible to and responsive to the collective. (Azibo 37/6)
It is not possible to remain healthy and also be part of cultures that work against self, cultures with an Asili that works against the seed of self, the spiritual essence.
To willingly participate in such cultures as if they were representative of self, is not self-preservation. It is self-degradation.
This is why human beings who embrace and defend cultures whose Asili works against beingness, remain human in form, but not in function because their beingness has been shriveled, mutated and warped by self-degrading logic. Spirit-souls can't breathe fully and minds can't think purely. The result is an overpowering mental illness through which Chaos enters the human dimension. In a universe where self-degradation extends itself to all else, the necessary offsetting, corrective response must be for self-preservation to also extend itself.
Therefore, self-preservation means extended self-preservation. Extended self-preservation, in its purest sense, means to support your basic nature in pursuit of beingness, otherwise called an aspiring morality. By default, extended self-preservation also means to support the pursuit of beingness in every individual in the communal collective, no matter how far apart geographically and no matter how far apart in the past or future and no matter how far apart in genetic form. Clearly then, since self-preservation is actually extended self-preservation, it does not mean the same thing as “survival of the fittest.” Survival of the fittest is a plausible deniability justification excuse for mental illness, aggression, attack and terroristic domination of that which we think we have more power over. This is a self-inflicted fatal mental flaw that leads to near extinction of the subspecies with this degree of sick mental logic. All things considered, mental health as self-preservation means self-defense and self-offense.
