Psychological DNA

v The determinisms of the physical characteristics embedded in our calls have been unravelled. It is a landmark in biological science.

v There is a subtle truth behind it which determines all one's behaviour precisely. Maybe we call it by a similar name, the Psychological DNA.

v It may not be difficult to arrive at an exhaustive list of characteristics of man. Many of them will be

Caution – alertness

Strength – endurance – energy – will.

Foresight

Organisation

Equality

Patience

Sensitivity

Truthfulness

Idealism

Goodness

Intelligence

Cheerfulness

Dedication

Common Sense

Character – behaviour – manners – Personality

Dynamism.

v It will be right to go for an exhaustive list, to grade them as per 1 to 9 and select for all levels only terms of equal intensity and thus give it a classified form.

v Science does not initially question 'of what use is it?' because the knowledge itself is rewarding. Finally, if such a system has any use, it is better to spell it out.

v The Token Act I am mentioning demands the play of all one's characteristics, though in varying measures and reveals to oneself the measure of its right use, as without it, the result will not issue.

v In doing an act and bringing it to fruition, one lays himself bare and identifies himself with the subtle personality of the act.

v As an act is a miniature of the universe, ALL traits find play. The right intensity of each trait contributes to the result. A little excess spoils, a little shortage does not trigger the action.

v As we assume the act has yielded result, it goes without saying that every one of the traits has found the right measure of play.

v An acute intelligent observation is called for to detect the measure of play of each trait.

v Successful results can issue for infinitely various combinations of these traits in infinitely varying persons.

v "I always bring out the result and I am always cautious" says one. His measure of caution will vary from another's.

v Here are two possibilities for the individual.

1. To see his characteristics in play.

2. To note their measure of combination with the act.

v Even the first observation will raise his efficiency.

v The measured study of the second will give him an enormous functional power over himself.

v At a further stage, at least theoretically, it can give him the power to change the structure of his 'DNA'.

v In this first article it will be too far fetched to discuss methods by which it can be generalised so that it may emerge as a scientific tool for anyone.

v We can spell out the principle at least. The scale needed to measure the traits or their intensity will be a subtle psychological scale. To evolve that will be the pre-condition for such a study.

v It is one thing a person measures himself on such a scale and it is another thing it becomes an impersonal scale.

v Apart from the scope of an act, which I have been speaking of, it has this possibility too.
