Discipline, or the pursuit of mastery, is not only dead but fundamentally labeled as oppressive and evil. Grounded in the basic observation of “cause” and “effect”, it sets the individual emotional, intellectual and physical grounds of awareness where all emotions, thoughts and actions produce consequences.
This necessitates an inherent awareness of the connectivity to the environment, others, and Divinity that allows for a sense of integration where the individual not only maintains an intrinsic sense of worth and value but is a “median” to other facets of reality. Discipline, as an act of mediation, manifests an inherent “connective value” while giving the necessary individual and group structure required to live a balanced and meaningful life.
The resulting equilibrium, grounded in basic cause and effect, observes the dangers of going to any extremes in life or idolizing of any one thing at the expense of another (such as pleasure over health or even “absence of pleasure”). Discipline, therefore acts as a mediation between extremes, and allows for a sense of “holism” while preventing (or at least minimizing) any extremism in “the self” or the “society” through which “the self” exists as a reciprocal extension. With the absence of discipline comes an absence of unity, and hence “order” and “value”, resulting from extremism as a form of fracturing.
