In the “Lord of the Rings” the Magic Novel by J.R.R. Tokien, the Binding Spell

for Middle Earth was the Dark Lord Sauron’s One Ring of Power. When the One Ring of

Power was destroyed in Mount Doom at the end of the Novel the Magic left Middle Earth

and the world as they knew it came to an end.

Similarly, each person must choose their own Binding Spell because Reality is

characterized by Moderate Relativism and your existence is dicated in large measure by

your Binding Spell which is your primary purpose as a person. There are a variety of

Binding Spells which you can choose, most of which lead you to tragedy. The following

are some commonly chosen Binding Spells:

1. Good

2. Evil

3. God

4. Satan

5. The Common Good

6. Adventure

7. Sex

8. Obedience to Authority

9. Poverty

10. Conventional Reality

 11. Conventional Morality

12. Psychiatry

13. Extreme Relativism

14. Power

15. The Individual Good

With respect to the foregoing, only your own Individual Good will lead to a Meaningfully

Happy existence. You cannot choose The Good, because those who choose Evil try to

destroy you. You cannot choose Evil because those who choose The Good try to destroy

you. You cannot choose God because God will use you and make you a martyr. God

hates sycophants. You cannot choose Satan because Satan hates sycophants and will

destroy you. You cannot choose the Common Good because everyone will try to enslave

you on the basis of the Common Good. Adventure is not a bad choice, but your life will

be filled with adventures and you may get tired of this. Adventure follows the Path of the

Hero and you must leave a mundane life, overcome adversity, and then triumph. You

cannot choose sex because you will end up being a prostitute and will be raped all the

time. You cannot choose obedience to authority because there are many authorities, and

sooner or later an authority will choose to destroy you. You cannot choose Poverty

because you will starve to death and have poor medical treatment and poor health. You

cannot choose Conventional Reality because Conventional Reality will eventually

destroy you. You cannot choose Conventional Morality because will eventually destroy

you. You cannot choose Psychiatry because Psychiatry will eventually destroy you. You

cannot choose Extreme Relativism because you will eventually go out of existence. You

cannot choose Power because Power will eventually destroy you.

 The only rational choice for your Binding Spell is your own Individual Good,

which involves as your highest values:

1. Your own Autonomy

2. Your own Rational Self-Interest

3. Your own Self-Actualization

4. Your own freely chosen Self-Transcendence

Thus, my Binding Spell is the Individual Good of Tony Fejfar, where I, Tony Fejfar,

and only I, as Tony Fejfar, exist in Substantial Form as Tony Fejfar.
