Developing a Life Model Based on Shi'i Positive Thinking

Abstract
A life model plays an undeniable role in shaping and expressing one's character and often serves as the principal source of emulation. However, one of the main reasons why such emulation fails is the neglect of the foundational role of thought and the superficial imitation of outward forms. This study was conducted with a particular focus on the maternal role of thought, as understood from the perspective of Shi'i positive thinking, in shaping a model of life.
Although previous studies have examined positive thinking from a religious perspective, none has addressed the unique and indispensable role of thought or proposed a comprehensive life model founded upon it. Accordingly, the principal question of this study is: What effective life model, capable of responding to the multidimensional needs of human beings, can be developed on the basis of Shi'i positive thinking?
The proposed model is founded upon Shi'i positive God-centred thinking, which, like a ray of light shining upon a prism, illuminates thought in its maternal role. Through this generative process, the other domains of thought are born and differentiated into Shi'i positive self-thinking, Shi'i positive other-thinking, and Shi'i positive world-thinking.
Each of these four domains of thought, in turn, gives rise to and manifests corresponding patterns of behaviour arising from Shi'i positive God-centred thinking, Shi'i positive self-thinking, Shi'i positive other-thinking, and Shi'i positive world-thinking.
Finally, the study examines the outcomes and consequences of this life model, which represent the final stage in the generative sequence extending from thought in its maternal role to action. These outcomes may be regarded as a healthy, balanced, and effective life of faith that facilitates the realization of innate human capacities and the attainment of ultimate felicity.
