But, once I discarded the doubts and meditated serenely I could not stop recognizing
that this phenomenon was far from being dangerous and I’d say that it was even symphatic.
The motive of such conclusion was in the «security» that I felt now that the heard Voice
was absolutely out from my being. Of course, it could be argumented that the «security» that a
man can have in the perception of phenomenons belonging to his own sphere of consciousness
is completely subjective. And it is true due to, in general, the «security» doesn’t guarantee in
any way the truth of its affirmation.
For example when a hunter feels «secure» to have hit the prey and errs the fire or when
the student «sure» to have given the right answer verifies that the Professor has qualified him
with a zero it can be said that the security has «failed. Of what depends then the success if
when I am «sure» to have obtained it, I can fail?
To respond it must be distinguished before between «subjective security» and «objective
security». The first is closer to the imagination and the second to the reality. The subjective
security supports in the faith; the objective security supports in the reality. Who believes to
take an apple with the hand and what he really takes is an apple, undoubtedly disposes of
objective security. Instead, if he believes to take an apple but really takes another thing, his
security is subjective. There’s then a gap between the subjective security and the objective
security, that, according to the individuals, can reach to be an abyss.
But it is desirable that the experienced security in what is done or thought be the most
objective possible. Then: How must be done to close the gasp that separates the objective
security from the subjective security? Saving the case of a natural predisposition from the
objective reality, the answer would be the previous «experience» assures major probabilities
that the «security» in the accomplishment of an act be realized objectively.
If it is desirable to understand the theme better must be distinguished also between the
dilettante and the expert. Before a same test both feel «secure», but with major probability,
only the expert is found in the previous experience; the one of the dilettante in the faith on
himself; but as every expert in some initial moment had to be a dilettante, it is possible that the
dilettante, is perseveres, one day reaches to be an expert.
Therefore the security is much more objective as more accompanied by the experience is.
But is the subjective security is betrayed by the objective reality, if it fails, ensues the
deception of the defeat. It must be concluded, then, that the capacity to overcome the defeats is
a conditioning factor to capitalize the experience in favour of the objective security.
