Ultimately I think the best demonstrations are offered through influence by the silent actions and deeds of others around us.
I mean to some extent I can see seeking counseling every once in awhile from a psychiatrist, that tends to address issues from a neutral and non biased stand point, or learning and practicing mind-clearing exercises focused more on expelling input rather than taking more in.
As for attempting to nail down trivial mannerisms I think people do so out of admiration for another and there are so many trivial concerns that you really can't address every single instance in one text as well as expect that text to have an answer for every exception.
Also as time moves forward, new problems come into existence causing new situations and or problems which people have to address and can not rely on just information recorded hundreds of years ago.
So instead of allowing one's self to become lazy in mind, and just parroting the words of others, would it not be better to learn how to exercise your mind by sitting somewhere quietly away from any external influence, reviewing your experiences and questions and learn the most comfortable way for one's self to seek the console of their self?
i say.. this is rather good .. i try not to parrot the words of others and often come up with a different way of viewing issues and problems etc ... which, i'm sorry to say ,tends to upset people on occassion ... i had a friend who believed that we each had a life blueprint, but she also believed that with enough will we could alter or improve that blueprint ... i disagree , i believe we can't change our way of thinking to any significant degree .. but, i do believe that experiencing life over time can change the way we view the world and so alter the way we think and react ..
