Well, as far as I'm concerned, it's simply odd that any supporter of individualism would throw themselves upon the so called 'Grace of God' I mean please, be more fucking consistent.

The grace of God, the essence to Create, the show of Free Will makes somebody's 'destiny' and leads to a state of salvation or damnation. Heaven and Hell being immediately inside, even if metaphysical contemplation can blather all it wants about places.
...
'Bad' is feeling bad. Maybe nowadays envy as a way of striving more is acceptable as long as you don't off somebody in the factory or office; but back then things were grimmer due to material limitations. Infanticide, suicide, stealing, betrayal...really, all centuries of peon labor taught people is that they're willing to do anything for a few bits of bean and rice. Looking into the mirror was seen as strength, could one really stomach it?
...
In this case, accomplishment was so much of a strain for a normal person, that it was close to death. 'Mediocrity' being more useful because one wouldn't have to feel horrible about themselves. And this is coming from a nation which killed off a third of it's populace and mutilated hundreds of thousands of countrymen, or subjugated others to replace themselves. Your Confucian bargain being Faustian, relativity only works completely if one is completely blind to suffering. But one would desire an end to it all otherwise."

It is blind denial of suffering and desire. The only reliance one needs is the one of the natural codependent order, not on some magical mighty being or some magical self.
As a result, salvation is not just weakness, but an irrational belief. There isn't salvation to begin with, only moments of realization through mindfulness.
One becomes greater once they realize the trivial distractions for what they are, instead of believing them to be the end all be all.
