Structure of this Story

Section Goal

My goal for this section is to get the Primal Injunctions well-formulated and to understand their properties, relationships and interactions. This will allow me to focus (in the next section) on how a «better Self» contributes to a «better world», one that enables each and all of us to flourish; and then (in the subsequent section) on how each of us can «produce goodness».

Each Primal Injunction will be determined by identifying and extracting an essence within its corresponding Primal Quest. Obeying a Primal Injunction does not require commitment to its originating Quest, nor any belief in that Quest, nor even knowledge of it.

More on Extracting the Essence

In exploring and identifying the relevant essence of the Primal Quest, many possibilities were imagined, examined and discarded. In the inquiry, I applied principles that were:

• taxonomic-structural
• linguistic
• intuitive-pragmatic

To repeat all that inquiry work on this website would be tedious. However, there may be errors, small or large. If you wish to suggest any ideas, or criticize any formulation, then the relevant issues can be easily re-opened and re-examined.

Follow the Section's Structure

• Examine each Primal Injunction by considering:

• Derivation from the corresponding Quest.
• Potential misconceptions about the Injunction.
• Why the Injunction is so hard to obey.

You can go through the Primal Injunctions in order using the Table of Contents, or
click here to select what is of most interest.

• RH"L1: Get Enjoyment
• RH"L2: Hold Ideals
• RH"L3: Become Aware
• RH"L4: Care about Others
• RH"L5: Do your Best
• RH"L6: Heed what's Right
• RH"L7: See Unity

• Compare the 7 Primal Injunctions in terms of whether obedience calls primarily for getting a stronger grip or for paying more attention.

• Review the nature of evil, as revealed by the Primal Injunctions specifically, and by THEE analysis more generally.

• Then consider how the various Primal Injunctions interact to provide guidance for creating a better world.

• The section concludes with a comparative analysis of codes for living that emanate from:

• requirements for personal endeavours-RH
• finding a purpose in life-RH', &
• expressing a better Self-RH".

This throws a light on the evolution of religious-spiritual commandments over the millennia, including modern-day more personal spiritual codes.

With this understanding of the better Self and what is realistic in regard to a better world, it becomes possible to delve deeper. Sections to follow will consider what is required to produce goodness for humanity, and how to lead a good life in your society.

THEE Note on Structure

My initial conjecture was that the Root Hierarchy, like the Purpose Primary Hierarchy (PH6), might well contain a Tertiary Hierarchy nested within the 6th Level of the Root Typology—which is Purpose-RL6.

In the case of Purpose-PH6, it was immediately evident that there were different types of rule called for by Legitimist Choice PH'6-L6 (which entails «setting a rule accepted by each and all»). In the present instance, once the Primal Quests were determined with confidence, the requirement to obey in specific ways linked to each Primal Quest also became rather obvious.

The Primary Hierarchies emanated by the 6 other Root Levels also have Tertiary Hierarchies, but these do not appear to be holistic and seem to be significant mainly for specialists. This confirms the immense importance of purpose in human life.

• Start by clarifying what is meant by «better Self».
