A	Controlling self-knowledge attunement values and standards		yes	no
	Life is attuning. Inside and outside yourself. The question is just how.
1	Mind and body are like [dorsal-thalamic] ideas and [hypothalamic] conditions, like Socrates' ideas about valuable and worthless, in Plato's normative honouring Ideas about a just and unjust State: a software design full of dorsal-thalamic ideas in a hypothalamic condition based hardware machine. Do you feel mentally and physically like a software hardware two-unit connected to your ideas about what is valuable and worthless and your normative conditions for expressing it mentally and physically?
	If so, define what that connection consists of, what you find positive and a burden and why and put it in writing.	If not, find out what you have to let go to feel connected and whether you want that or not and why and put it in writing.
2	Also outside ourselves, everything is somehow connected. From the cosmic position and the physical conditions for an earthly existence to humans, animals and the environment to maintain that in the right attuned state. It is up to us to make a valuable contribution to this. What is easier said than done, because what is right and what is valuable? What is the right positioning and what is a valuable contribution? And what do you want? Think about that and set the conclusions out in writing. Do you feel connected to the world around you?
	If so, define what it consists of and indicate whether you find it valuable or a burden and why and put it in writing.	If not, find out what is needed to feel connected and specify whether you want that or not and why and put it in writing.
3	Thoughts can clash with each other. You can find something valuable from one point of view and worthless from the other. Are your ideas about what is valuable and worthless well attuned to each other?
	If so, find out whether they are not damaging to yourself and/or others.	If not, do it anyway and make sure that they do not harm yourself and/or others.
4	Also the ideas between you and others can collide with each other. They may find something valuable that you find worthless and vice versa. Can you deal with differences in ideas about what is valuable and what is not, between you and others?
	If so, find out to what extent others can handle it.	If not, find out what it takes on your part to deal with the differences.

B	Controlling self-knowledge attunement values and standards		yes	no
5	There are two common reasons to convince others of the value of your ideas about what is valuable and what is not. One is based on finding the truth, investigation and the burden of proof [scientific thinking], the other is based on right-of-the-strongest politics. The latter can as well be based on family/group interests ['together we are strong'], information dominance ['we know better'], as economically and/or politically violently and otherwise silencing you ['we have the means of power']. This is often combined to reinforce the arguments. Are you trying to convince others of the value of your ideas?
	If so, investigate how you do that, what you think is desirable and what you think is not, and if and how you want to improve something and put that into practice.	If not, investigate what your motives are, whether they make sense or not, and whether and to what extent adjusting is necessary, and put that into practice.
6	Are others trying to convince you of the value of their ideas?
	If so, investigate how they do that, what you think is desirable and what you think is not, how you deal with it and want to deal with it, and put that into practice.	If not, investigate what their motives are, whether they make sense or not, how you deal with it and want to do and put that into practice.
7	To not allow your mental and physical connectedness with [the values and norms of] yourself to be overruled by your connectedness with the [values and norms of the] environment, you will have to be able to take sufficient distance from environmental influences. Can you sufficiently distance yourself - literally and figuratively - from the values and norms of your environment?
	If so, investigate to what extent you are doing this to everyone's satisfaction, if and if so, what you do and don't want to change, and put that into practice.	Zo nee, onderzoek in hoeverre de oorzaak bij jouw ligt, wat je er zelf aan kunt doen en hoe je dat gaat aanpakken en breng dat in praktijk.If not, investigate to what extent the cause lies with you, what you can do about it yourself and how you are going to deal with it and put it into practice.
8	Can you deal with the fact that others keep the necessary distance and do not allow themselves to be overruled by the values and norms of you and others?
	If so, investigate to what extent they do this and their motives and your attitude towards it.	If not, examine why not, what you would like to do differently and whether that is reasonable in relation to others.

C	Controlling self-knowledge attunement values and standards		yes	no
9	Supporters of the right-of-the-strongest ideas try to impose their ideas, conditions, behaviour and habits on others with the viral means of power of pater familias. They see development and a place in society as a masculine struggle. Just like the ideas, conditions, behaviours and habits of the hunter-gatherers of yesteryear, they are hunting for knowledge, possession, power and attention and a place in family society. For them, women and children are a collection of possessions that represent a certain bargaining and/or nurture value, and men are a collection of belligerently standardized codes of conduct, as a way to obtain and maintain that value of assets. Women as and in a valuable survival center, men as and in a (normalized) hunting ground, with children as the prey that inside and outside the house has to do what the hunter-gatherer requires of them. Are you in a paternalistic way developing yourself and filling your place in society?
	If so, think about whether you want to continue with this, and/or in what way to proceed, and put it all clearly into writing.	If not, think about how you deal with development and a place in society and whether you want to keep it that way.
10	When others with all kinds of [manipulative, control-related] violence impose and dictate their ideas, conditions, behaviors and habits on you, you are initially mentally and physically split into your own inner values and strange outer standards. After that you become so focused on your outer, physical behaviour that has to conform to violently imposed behaviour of others, that you mentally become alienated from your own values [self-esteem] and physically from your own standards. In no time, own mental and physical values [self-esteem] and codes of conduct show to have been supplanted by those of the aggressor. In other words, you are gyrusal viral neutr(in)a mirrored before you are aware of it. Are you easy to influence?
	If so, examine how critically you analyze what you find valuable and what you don't, how much you want to be part of something and to be appreciated and how you have solved conflicts so far. Combine that and come up with a plan how you want to deal with it.	If not, investigate what it has cost you individually and socially to remain independent, whether your method is righteous or needs to be improved, and whether you are self-critical enough and open to reasonable criticism from others.
11	When the outside world is based on right-of-the-strongest ideas, it is normal to dictate masculine mechanizing hardware conditions to others, in a viral way. The Socratic ideas to self-critically think about good and evil and act accordingly are only valuable if they are packaged under Plato's worthless conditions in bureaucratically trained dogmas. Because everything is done to prevent that you think critically yourself about good and evil and act accordingly. The self-thinking values of dorsal-thalamus' ideas can no longer be tolerated, but must, under otherwise-thinking conditions, completely be ignored and will, under gyrusal guidance, via-via with viral information be indoctrinated. Anything of value will be torpedoed with a hormonally normalized poison cup and Gyrus, as the viral representative of the neutr(in)al outside world, delegates in a narrow-minded way by whom, what and how there will be vented/reacted/ruled. With the result, an unscrupulous moralising outside-inside war in the brain tent and a reticular nerve leader who is allowed to play firewall between thalamic ideas and gyrusal conditions. Because if your mind, with its valuable ideas in your dorsal-thalamic inside, has no right to speak, for your body on the outside is busy meeting the viral conditions of a masculine Gyrus, the consequences are far-reaching and DNA-tically stifling/entangled. Not only in your life but also in many beyond. For millennia. From generation to generation. Are your conditions a reflection of your self-conceived and self-considered ideas?
	If so, investigate to what extent your ideas are valuable and do not harm yourself or others, adjust your normative codes of conduct accordingly and put this into practice.	If not, summarize what you find valuable, list your conditions and regulations to it, see if it doesn't damage yourself and others, and put this into practice.
12	Some make a vice of need and turn - under the motto: if the bodily machinery does not respond according to the mental design, the mental design should be subordinated to the bodily machinery - the case around and make their valuable ideas from the inside subordinate to worthless conditions about mental and physical codes of conduct from the outside. In doing so, they spare themselves and others externally but damage their inner self. Do you [sometimes] subordinate valuable ideas of yourself and others to worthless conditions [such as {letting yourself be} damage(d) and/or exploit like Isaac, Socratic, and Jesus, and/or {helping to} damage and/or devilish divine SarAbramitic exploit others mentally, physically, economically, and/or otherwise?
	If so, investigate your motives, find the obstacles and possibilities to turn it around, make a step-by-step plan, write it down and put it into practice.	If not, investigate to what extent others make their ideas subordinate to your conditions, investigate whether your conditions are righteous, and adjust them if necessary.

13	To start with Aristotle and end with Plato: although mental values may be packed in physical norms, if the conditions for normalized packaging fall apart, the ideas of what is valuable and worthless remain. Are your thoughts valuable to yourself and others? And your conditions, both intrinsically and extrinsically, coherent attuned to this?
	If so, investigate how you deal with worthless ideas, and dualistic conditions, if and if so what needs to be improved, and adjust this where necessary.				If not, investigate what it takes to adjust, what you do and do not want to adjust and why, make a step-by-step plan and put it into practice.
14	In a valuable way working together with others increases both mentally and physically your overall feeling of well-being. Can you indicate to what extent, in your opinion, you have cooperated in a valuable way with the people around you in the course of your life? If so, did this happen:
	sporadically		regularly		often		ongoing
15	Do you - regardless of how the family society reacts to you and others - make a valuable contribution to the family society, in your opinion?
	If so, is this opinion shared by others?				If not, why not? Is this because
	yes	no		not sure	yourself	others		both
16	Do you - regardless of how others react - valueably attune to your own ideas and conditions and those of [others in] society?
	If so, investigate to what extent others do the same on yours and others', how you deal with them if they don't, look to what extent you deal with them fairly and adjust that where necessary.				If not, investigate your motives for not doing so, whether they fit in with your own ideas and conditions or those of others, think about the consequences and then answer the question on the left.

By daily reflecting on the attuning with the values and standards of yourself and others and how you and others deal with them, you can adjust where necessary in such a way that you prevent or minimize damage to yourself and others and achieve humane and just improvements.
