Being in the World 2: Study Guide
— The Esoteric Teaching —
dharmasar@gmail.com
SLIDE 1
• Everyone is fallen.
• Inauthenticity is convenient.
• Traditional philosophy is inauthentic.
• The cause is the structure of being in the world.
SLIDE 2
• Impersonalism = objectification.
• Thrown = bias toward inauthenticity.
• Absorption = looking for ourselves in other
entities and phenomena.
SLIDE 3
• Pernicious—Look it up!
• Inauthenticity is the default being.
• Authentic being is a modification, requires a
process.
• If we think we are being authentic, we are
authentic phonies!
SLIDE 4
• We can’t see that we are fallen.
• Curiosity is divorced from real phenomena.
• Skeptical self-analysis masks inauthentic being.
• Most philosophies are not grounded in authentic
phenomena.
SLIDE 5
• Thrownness begins from our birth.
• We are overwhelmed and captured like baby
elephants.
• First we have to hold our inauthenticity in a
different way.
SLIDE 6
• Scattered = fragmented energy & attention.
• Where is the door? What is the process?
• Unified realization of authentic being is very high!
SLIDE 7
• Sounds like we’re down 

on everyone!
• Diagnosis comes before treatment.
• Our underlying unity is something very powerful.
• First we have to be authentic about our
inauthenticity.
SLIDE 8
• Another triple!
• Everyone is in anxiety and doubt.
• Self-dispersal + Absorption = Oppression
• Perfect description of inauthentic being in the
world.
SLIDE 9
• Objectless anxiety silences the voice of the
Other.
• Problems without solutions: the news, gossip,
conspiracies, politics.
SLIDE 10
• Contingent—Look it up!
• We have to choose and act.
• But we do not get to choose the circumstances.
• “Any other way”—including authentic being.The
key to freedom!
SLIDE 11
• Anxious about: concerning 

the fact that we are thrown & can’t choose.
• Anxious for: but we want it to turn out according
to the expected norm.
• Anxious in the face of: when confronted with our
own Being.
SLIDE 12
• Anxiety reduces 

fragmentation.
• Puts us in our own field of activity.
• Reminds us that our Being is an issue for us.
• Anxiety shows the claims of the Other to be
insignificant.
• Because no one else can feel our anxiety; our anxiety is
our own.
SLIDE 13
• Anxiety is our friend!
• Reminds us that we are in trouble.
• Distinguishes the Other as not ourselves.
• Idle talk supplies objects to project our anxiety upon.
• Objectless anxiety is the beginning of authentic
Being.
SLIDE 14
• Bury means we care 

about the Other.
• We use the Other to distract ourselves from
ourselves.
• As long as we care about the world, we are never
all that we can be.
SLIDE 15
• Another triple!
• Care = thrownness + projectiveness + fallenness.
• Care = in the world + ahead of ourselves +
preoccupied with the Other.
SLIDE 16
• Static analysis (no temporality)
• Ontological basis for coming sections.
• Unified ontological structure of being in the world.
SLIDE 17
• Solicitous—Look it up! 

(especially Latin derivation)
• Ready-to-hand = available for experience or use.
• Present-to-hand = observable for thinking about.
SLIDE 18
• Authenticity is being 

straight with yourself and others.
• Authenticity begins from being authentic about
our inauthenticity.
• Our process: looking into your experience to
identify inauthenticity.
