The person who is devoid of all erroneous zone behavior may seem to be a fictional character, but being free from self-destructive
\nbehavior is not a mythological concept; rather it\u2019s a real possibility.\u00a0Being fully functioning is within your grasp and complete presentmoment\u00a0mental health can be a choice. This final chapter is devoted\u00a0to a description of how people who are free from all erroneous zone\u00a0thinking and behavior function. You will see the development of an\u00a0individual who is unlike the majority of people, and distinguishable
\nby an uncanny ability to be creatively alive at every moment.
\nPeople free from erroneous zones are different from run-of-the mill\u00a0individuals. While they look very much like everyone else, they
\npossess distinct qualities, none of which are racial, socioeconomic,or sexual. They do not fit neatly into any roles,job descriptions,
\ngeographic patterns, educational levels or financial statistics.There is a different quality about them, but the difference
\nis not discernible in the traditional external factors by which we generally classify people. They may be rich or poor, male or female,
\nblack or white, living anywhere, and doing just about anything. They are a varied group and yet they share a single trait, freedom
\nfrom erroneous zones. How can you tell when you run into someone\u00a0like this? Watch them! Listen to them! This is what you\u2019ll discover.
\nFirst and most obviously, you see people who like virtually\u00a0everything about life\u2014people who are comfortable doing just about
\nanything, and who waste no time in complaining, or wishing that\u00a0things were otherwise. They are enthusiastic about life, and they
\nwant all that they can get out of it. They like picnics, movies, books, sports, concerts, cities, farms, animals, mountains and just about
\neverything. They like life. When you are around people like this\u00a0you\u2019ll note an absence of grumbling, moaning, or even passive
\nsighing. If it rains, they like it. If it\u2019s hot, they dig it, rather than\u00a0complain about it. If they are in a traffic jam, or at a party, or all
\nalone, they simply deal with what is there. There is no pretending\u00a0to enjoy, but a sensible acceptance of what is, and an outlandish
\nability to delight in that reality. Ask them what they don\u2019t like and\u00a0they are hard pressed to come up with an honest answer. They don\u2019t
\nhave sense enough to come in out of the rain, because they see rain\u00a0as beautiful, thrilling and something to experience. They like it. Slush
\ndoesn\u2019t send them into a fury; they observe it, splash around in it, and accept it as part of what it means to be alive. Do they like cats?
\nYes. Bears? Yes. Worms? Yes. While such annoyances as disease,\u00a0droughts, mosquitoes, floods and the like are not warmly embraced
\nby such people, they never spend any of their present moments\u00a0complaining about them, or wishing that they weren\u2019t so. If situations
\nneed to be eradicated, they will work at eradicating them\u2014and enjoy\u00a0the work. Try as you might, you\u2019ll have a tough time coming up
\nwith something they\u2019ll dislike doing. Truly they are likers of life, \u00a0and they wallow in all of it, getting out of it all that is possible
\nfor them.
\nHealthy fulfilled people are free from guilt and all the attendant\u00a0anxiety that goes with using any present moments in being immobilized
\nover past events. Certainly they can admit to making mistakes,\u00a0and they can vow to avoid repeating certain behavior that is counterproductive\u00a0in any way, but they do not waste their time wishing\u00a0that they hadn\u2019t done something, or being upset because they dislike
\nsomething that they did at an earlier moment in life. Complete\u00a0freedom from guilt is one hallmark of healthy individuals. No
\nlamenting the past and no efforts to make others choose guilt by\u00a0asking such inane questions as, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you do it differently?\u201d
\nor \u201cAren\u2019t you ashamed of yourself?\u201d They seem to recognize that\u00a0life lived through is just that, and no amount of feeling bad will alter
\nthe past. They are free from guilt themselves without any effort;\u00a0because it is natural, they never help others to choose guilt. They
\nsee that feeling bad in the present moment only reinforces a poor\u00a0self-image, and that learning from the past is far superior to remonstrating\u00a0about the past. You\u2019ll never see them manipulating others\u00a0by telling them how bad they\u2019ve been, nor will you be able to manipulate\u00a0them with the same tactics. They won\u2019t get angry at you,\u00a0they\u2019ll simply ignore you. Rather than being upset with you, they\u2019ll
\ngo away, or change the subject. The strategies that work so beautifully\u00a0on most people fail with these healthy individuals. Rather than
\nmake themselves and others miserable with guilt, they unceremoniously\u00a0pass when it comes along.<\/p>\n
Similarly, people free of erroneous zones are nonworriers. Circumstances\u00a0that drive many people to frenzy barely affect these individuals.
\nThey are neither planners nor putters-away for the future. They\u00a0refuse to worry and they keep themselves free from the anxiety that
\naccompanies worry. They don\u2019t know how to worry. It is not a part\u00a0of their makeup. They are not necessarily calm at all moments, but
\nthey are unwilling to spend present moments agonizing about things \u00a0in the future over which they have no control.
\nThey are very present-moment oriented, and they have an internal signal\u00a0that seems to remind them that all worrying must take place
\nin the present moment, and that it is a foolish way to go\u00a0about living one\u2019s current life.
\nThese people live now, rather than in the past or the future. They\u00a0are not threatened by the unknown, and they seek out experiences
\nthat are new and unfamiliar to them. They love ambiguity. They\u00a0savor the now at all times, aware that this is all they have. They don\u2019t
\nplan for a future event and let long periods of inactivity elapse as\u00a0they await that event. The moments between events are just as livable
\nas those taken up by the events themselves, and they have an uncanny\u00a0ability to get every pleasure out of their daily lives. They are
\nnot postponers, saving for a rainy day, and while our culture disapproves\u00a0their behavior, they are unthreatened by self-reproach. They
\ngather in their happiness now, and when a future now arrives, they\u00a0gather in that one as well. These individuals are always enjoying
\nsimply because they see the folly of waiting to enjoy. It is a natural\u00a0way of living, very much like that of a child or an animal. They are
\nbusy grabbing present-moment fulfillment, while most people spend\u00a0their lives waiting for payoffs, and never being able to seize them.
\nThese healthy people are strikingly independent. They are out of\u00a0the nest, and while they may have a strong love for and devotion to
\nfamily, they see independence as superior to dependence in all relationships. They treasure their own freedom from expectations. Their
\nrelationships are built upon mutual respect for the right of an individual\u00a0to make decisions for himself. Their love involves no imposition
\nof values on the loved one. They put a high premium on privacy,\u00a0which may leave others feeling snubbed or rejected. They like
\nto be alone at times, and they will go to great lengths to ensure that\u00a0their privacy is protected. You will not find these people involved
\nin numerous love relationships. They are selective about their love,\u00a0but they\u2019re also deeply and sensitively loving.
\nIt is difficult for dependent or unhealthy people to love them, because they are adamant about their freedom.
\nIf someone needs them, they reject such a need as hurtful\u00a0to the other person as well as to themselves. They want those they
\nlove to be independent, to make their own choices, and to live their\u00a0lives for themselves. While they enjoy others and want to be with
\nthem, they want even more for others to make it without crutches or leaning. Thus, the moment you start leaning on these people,
\nyou\u2019ll find them disappearing, first emotionally, and then physically\u00a0as well. They refuse to be dependent, or depended upon, in a mature
\nrelationship. With children, they provide a model of a caring person, but they encourage self-reliance almost from the very beginning
\nwith a great amount of love offered at every turn.
\nYou will find an uncommon absence of approval-seeking in these\u00a0happy, fulfilled individuals. They are able to function without approval
\nand applause from others. They do not seek out honors as most people do. They are unusually free from the opinion of others,
\nalmost uncaring about whether someone else likes what they\u2019ve said\u00a0or done. They do not attempt to shock others, or to gain their approval.
\nThese are people who are so internally directed that they are literally\u00a0unconcerned about others\u2019 evaluations of their behavior. They
\nare not oblivious to applause and approval; they just don\u2019t seem to\u00a0need it. They can be almost blunt in their honesty since they do not
\ncouch their messages in carefully worded phrases designed to please.\u00a0If you want to know what they think, that is exactly what you\u2019ll
\nhear. Conversely, when you say something about them they will\u00a0not be destroyed or immobilized. They will take the data you
\nprovide, filter it through their own values and use it for growth.\u00a0They do not need to be loved by everyone, nor do they harbor the
\ninordinate wish to be approved by all for everything that they do.\u00a0They recognize that they will always incur some disapproval. They
\nare unusual in that they are able to function as they, rather than\u00a0some external other, dictates.<\/p>\n
