APPENDIX B
Self-Action Leadership (SAL) THEORY in Brief
LAWS & COROLLARIES
LAW 1. Absolute Truth with a capital "T" exists in the form of immutable and irrevocable Universal Laws. These laws consistently, predictably, and omnipotently govern both the physical and metaphysical worlds, including the natural consequences of human decisions.
Corollary 1.1. Truth often appears paradoxical.
Corollary 1.2. Situational exigencies arise that necessitate legitimate exceptions to virtually every rule of Universal Laws.
Corollary 1.2.1. Legitimate "Exceptions to the Rule" do not violate Universal Laws. They operate harmoniously, albeit paradoxically, within multi-dimensionalities of the laws.
LAW 2. According to Universal Law, there are categorical divisions and universal distinctions separating RIGHT from wrong in the moral domain.
Corollary 2.1. Right choices consist of thoughts, speech, and actions that lead to the long-term health, happiness, and Existential Growth of all people (and other living things) impacted thereby.
Corollary 2.2. Wrong choices consist of thoughts, speech, and actions that lead to the long-term sickness, misery, and existential atrophy of all people (and other living things) impacted thereby.
LAW 3. All human beings enter the world with an inner light and compass in the form of a metaphysical conscience that prompts them to think, say, and do what is right; and to avoid thinking, speaking, or doing what is wrong.
Corollary 3.1. Your conscience is sharpened of dulled over time in direct proportion to the adherence, or lack thereof, that you grant it.
LAW 4. Every human being is a self-leader and, by extension, the sovereign ruler of his or own metaphysical world.
Corollary 4.1. Self-leaders who think, say, and do what is right—and avoid thinking, saying, and doing what is wrong—become self-action leaders by virtue of their intent.
LAW 5. All human beings possess equal, innate, and infinite Existential Worth in conjunction with unlimited potential for Existential Growth.
LAW 6. All human beings possess the liberty to choose their thoughts, speech, actions, attitudes, and beliefs.
Corollary 6.1. All thoughts, words, and actions create naturally occurring consequences over time.
Corollary 6.2. You cannot arbitrarily determine long-term consequences; they are governed by Universal Laws.
Corollary 6.3. Naturally occurring consequences are no respecter of persons.
Corollary 6.4. In the long-run, naturally occurring consequences shape your physical and metaphysical world.
Corollary 6.5. The results of naturally occurring consequences often take time to measure. (8)
Corollary 6.6. Your Self-Action Leadership capacity and potential carries internal and external variables in the form of benefits and limitations.
LAW 7. You are responsible for the design of your metaphysical world and the long-term direction of your life.
LAW 8. Long-term solutions to most of your problems are found inside, not outside, of your metaphysical world (i.e. your mind, heart, and spirit).
LAW 9. Existential Gravity exists to inhibit Existential Growth and influence the onset of existential atrophy.
Corollary 9.1. Self-action leaders possess power to transcend Existential Gravity over time through Self-Action Leadership.
Corollary 9.2. As higher levels of Existential Growth are reached, Existential Gravity is commensurately transcended.
Corollary 9.3. As Existential Gravity is transcended, your journey towards higher levels of Existential Growth becomes generally easier.
LAW 10. Self-action leaders are capable of unlimited Existential Growth and/or existential atrophy.
Corollary 10.1. Existential Growth is measurable and consists of nine (9) different metaphysical levels (or stages) of ontological development and achievement analogous to nine (9) different levels of Earth's atmosphere and outer space, as follows:
Earth's Atmospheric Layers Levels of Existential Growth
Layer 1: Earth's Surface Level 1: Education Stage
Layer 2: Troposphere Level 2: Beginner's Stage
Layer 3: Stratosphere Level 3: Practitioner's Stage
Layer 4: Mesosphere Level 4: Refining Stage
Layer 5: Ionosphere Level 5: Polishing Stage
Layer 6: Thermosphere Level 6: SAL-Actualization Stage
Layer 7: Exosphere Level 7: Leadership Stage
Layer 8: Outer Space Level 8: Self-Transcendence Stage
Layer 9: Astronomical bodies beyond Earth Level 8: Creation Stage
(i.e. moon, planets, stars, etc.)
Earth's Atmospheric Layers
Levels of Existential Growth
Corollary 10.2. Like Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, levels of Existential Growth must be attained progressively, and in order, beginning at the bottom level.
Corollary 10.3. Existential Growth cannot be given away, traded for, or purchased; it must always be earned.
Corollary 10.4. Earning Existential Growth is challenging. It requires great efforts consistently expended over time, and often engenders pain along the way.
Corollary 10.5. Existential atrophy can occur after rising to any of the first seven levels of Existential Growth. Self-action leaders who reach Level 8 are assumably safe from this same risk of regression.
Corollary 10.6. A SAL lowerarchy of existential atrophy and regression exists as an inverse of the SAL Hierarchy. Self-leaders who choose to think, say, and do things that are wrong, evil, or destructive regress down the SAL lowerarchy.
SAL lowerarchy: Nine (9) regressive stages of existential atrophy.
Level -1. Discouragement & Deception Stage
Level -2. Deconstruction Stage
Level -3. Mischief Stage
Level -4. Damage and Violence Stage
Level -5. Corruption and Perversion Stage
Level -6. Propaganda Stage
Level -7. Pied Piper Stage
Level -8. Self-Descendence
Level -9. Self-Destruction Stage
LAW 11. Universal Laws determine the price of Existential Growth.
Corollary 11.1. Universal Laws apply to everyone; they are no respecter of persons.
Corollary 11.2. You cannot change, cheat, or circumvent Universal Laws.
Corollary 11.3. Universal Laws create human benefits.
Corollary 11.4. Universal Laws create human limitations.
LAW 12. Humility before Universal Laws is a prerequisite to authentic Existential Growth.
Corollary 12.1. Honesty, integrity, and self-awareness comprise humility.
LAW 13. Your influence on others over time is directly proportional to the control you consistently wield over your own thoughts, speech, and actions.
The less control you have over your own thoughts, speech,
and actions, the less influence you have on other people.
The more control you have over your thoughts, speech, and
actions, the more influence you have on other people.
