The Psychology Behind Esoteric Energy

nirgf (57) in psychology • 7 years ago

There is a sentence in Hebrew that the Sages of Blessed Memory said:

"אין אומרים כל שבחו של אדם בפניו,מקצת שבחו שלאדם אומרים בפניו, וכולו שלא בפניו" No man's praise is said to him, Some of the praise of a person is said in his face, and all in his face

Very difficult to translate it into English, but the translation is:
That when a person praises his face then it leads him to want to keep moving forward
Therefore, it is clear that there is nothing wrong with saying praise, each person needs feedback from his environment, and everyone has the need to feel that someone loves and values him.
What this means is that if it helps a person in a good and correct way, he should be told and enticed
But, if the statement will produce the opposite result, do not say to him.

I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying. I'm a little foggy on what is meant by "a person who praises his face..."

Ok, I searched around and found this:

" It is not advisable to praise people in their faces without reservations because they may think they are perfect"

The source in the Talmud (Eruvin 18b):
"Rabbi Yirmiyahu ben Elazar said:" Some of the praise of a person is said in his face and everything is not in his face. "

Is this the saying you are talking about?

Here is a sentence in Latin that is relevant. It reads:

"Si linguis hominum loquar, et angelorum, caritatem autem non habeam, factus sum velut æs sonans, aut cymbalum tinniens."
In English it reads:
"I may speak with every tongue that men and angels use; yet, if I lack charity, I am no better than echoing bronze, or the clash of cymbals."
