| Summary: | The central issue in this study is to analyze the foundations, grounds, and solutions of reprehensible self-forgetfulness in the perspective of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli. The aim of this research is to prevent individuals from falling into self-forgetfulness, and in cases where they have succumbed to it, to offer solutions for liberation. In the first phase, the foundational principles of self-forgetfulness are identified and structured with an emphasis on Ayatollah Javadi’s works. These principles are then processed through a descriptive-analytical approach, and key concepts such as the categories of self-forgetfulness (reprehensible and gratifying), true life, self-alienation, the reflexive nature of self-deception, and unconscious self-deception are examined. In the next stage, the grounds leading to reprehensible self-forgetfulness, such as forgetfulness of God, worldliness, neglect of innate divine nature, and preoccupation with the false self are explained and analyzed. Finally, strategies for overcoming self-forgetfulness and its detrimental consequences are proposed: a) A rational-revelatory anthropology b) The governance of reason over human conduct and the subjugation of the soul to intellect. The findings indicate that the intrusion of lust and anger into the spiritual realm of human existence, as well as the dominance of the animalistic self over the divine self (innate divine nature), are key factors leading to human self-loss, the most significant conequence of which is self-forgetfulness. In essence, the overpowering of the human being by the animalistic self not only obstructs the perception and awareness of God but also hinders the realization of moral virtues. Ultimately, it can be concluded that forgetfulness of God results in self-forgetfulness. |
