Mind & Heart Pillars

You have to understand that we are only temporarily using the body, using its physical senses to learn and have fun. Who we really are, is pure energy, this is where standard religions let us down. Plus they don't provide the everyday tools to deal with the devil inside each of us, our EGO.

Developing your spiritual base. Understanding your faith, beliefs, and choices. Last but not least love.

Everything is in vibration, so everything is form and God in simultaneity—just different levels or tones. All of God's creations start with energy. Energy is the base product. His creations are ordered and cohesive, not haphazard, his energy is self-renewing. If creation is ordered, intelligible, and coherent then questions of belief, authority, suffering, and responsibility cannot remain abstract. They move out of philosophy and into lived reality. All from his plan, all fine-tuned and all interconnected. Each detail has a purpose, an action, or a reaction.

It has everything to do with alignment, living in service to the principles embedded in creation itself.

Judgment” in Scripture does not refer primarily to a final event at the end of time. It more often refers to the ongoing process by which reality reveals the consequences of order and disorder as they unfold. It is what happens when a system is placed under pressure and revealed for what it is. Structures capable of carrying truth endure pressure. Structures built on suppression or denial fracture and expose the bone. Judgment does not arrive from outside the system. It emerges from within it. We must only judge ourselves, our hearts, our actions.

In God’s design, alignment stabilizes healthy systems. It destabilizes only those who have learned to survive by suppressing truth. When light enters a system accustomed to darkness, resistance is not evidence of harm. It is evidence of exposure. Judgment is not a collapse caused by alignment. It is a collapse revealed by alignment. Alignment sustains life; misalignment degrades it; resisting correction accelerates collapse. God's universe is a coherent universe. Exposure and self-judgment should be everyones priority. Exposure is the only thing that makes repair possible. Exposure is a must, for an individual who is meant to love and better themselves, while encased in this temporary human body. The ability to see alignment or misalignment with God in ourselves is more important than to see it or not see it, in others.

In humans, the structure God made starts with your energy or attitude. The language of love, kindness, humbleness, forgiveness, patience, and affection. One not of fear, anger, judgment, or control of others. But one with only self-control, of your mind, heart, and spirit. Your structure must have a good foundation and be based on his laws. Not being in alignment is when your trouble starts. It has everything to do with alignment, living in service to the principles God embedded in his greatest creation. God did not design a closed system in which obedience was enforced or harm was prevented by intervention at every moment. He granted man free will. The more you become misaligned, don't follow his order, his structure, the more out of balance your life becomes.

Reality is ordered, truth is real, and consequences cannot be negotiated away. In that posture, people order their behavior: sobriety, restraint, truthfulness, care for others, and attention to reality. That ordering stabilizes their internal state and lowers the probability of self-inflicted destruction. It does not protect against a drunk driver, a violent stranger, or a collapsing system. But errors compound and our structures amplify them.

He permitted a world in which human choices could move through others, for good or for ill. When God grants free will, He does not suspend the physics of consequence.“Sin” is not merely moral failure; it is misalignment that leaks into the world. The order was offered. Obedience was possible. But disobedience was allowed. From that moment forward, creation included freedom, and with freedom came the possibility that disorder would be chosen and that its consequences would be real. God did not remove causality to spare the righteous from harm. A person who lives in disorder (out of alignment or out of balance) becomes a source of instability. Their choices propagate outward. Error or impaired judgment, delayed perception, aggression, excess speed, and neglect do not remain private. They deform shared environments. A person or institution that chooses disorder is permitted to do so, but the effects move outward, through families, organizations, and generations. ~Most of the above is from Pierre Kory

That's why balance is so important. First in yourself and 2nd in others.

Knowing

Conscious awareness is KNOWING.

Unawareness means not yet knowing.

Knowledge is within him when he can know when he desires to know.

Information is not knowledge.

Knowledge is sensing. God's Knowledge can be obtained by man only through awareness of the spirit within him.

Lack of that awareness is the tragedy of today’s civilization.

Man is aware of himself as an individual, but his concept of what constitutes his individuality is vague.

His individuality is what he unknowingly interprets as his immortal Self. His Self, or soul, never changes, never appears or disappears, but his individuality constantly changes to forever fit the changing concept of what he interprets his immortal Self to be. As every man gradually knows the Light of his Self in him, his individuality changes by the constant uplift toward that increasing awareness of his centering omniscience.

As greater awareness of the Light of the Universal Self comes to man he gradually loses his individuality and becomes more that Universal Self.

Mastery of Intent or Love

This is the mastery of the spirit and the will. The Master of Intent becomes One with God. God works through the master's mouth, mind, and hands. In that state, with every action the master does, there is God. We are no longer the soul. We are just love, because love includes everything. Love is the real name of God. Love is everywhere. Everything is made of love. Love has billions of expressions, including fear.

Fear is a reflection of love, but it is only a small part of love's expressions. Fear will control the mind. The mind will control the brain. What you do is according to what you perceive, so if you are feeling fear, what you perceive will be analyzed with fear. We see in the eyes the expression of what a person has in his or her mind. You will perceive the outside dream according to your eyes. If you have eyes of sadness, you will feel sad whether it is raining or sunny. If you have eyes of love, you will see love wherever you go. Trees are made by love. Animals are made by love. The water we drink and the rivers and oceans are made by love. If you perceive love, you will connect with anything else that is made by love. You can become the eagle. You can become the wind, or the rain, or the clouds. All becomes One. You will recognize that everything is perfect just as it is.

It doesn't matter what your faith is but you need to believe in a higher source. Plus understand that you live on in your spirit energy.

Jesus himself preached that love was the answer to life.

Cornerstone Pillar

The spiritual pillars supporting the Fourfold Path to Power — prayer, belief, choice, and love — will assist you in cultivating patience as you wait to receive clarity regarding the precise manner in which the Spirit desires your talents to be manifested.

Develop your faith. Use your faith daily. Without faith, you will not succeed or be happy in life. Several books to read in this material and of course the Bible or any other books may help you in your beliefs and faith about God and who we really are. But like most, your faith will probably also change with age and time. Faith and belief and vision are the means by which the goal is reached.

Life is Attitude

Gratitude

Life is….

Love

Relationships

Life is your Relationships.. (The Golden Rule)

Life is your Desires & Intentions…. (Always based in Love)

Love

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love…..Love never fails.

When the body ceases to attract you, and when you place no value on it as a means of getting anything, then there will be no interference in communication, and your thoughts will be as free as God’s.

As you let the Holy Spirit teach you how to use the body only for purposes of communication, and renounce its use for separation and attack which the ego sees in it, you will learn you do not need a body at all. In the holy instant, there are no bodies, and you experience only the attraction of God. Accepting it as undivided you join Him wholly, in an instant, for you would place no limits on your union with Him. The reality of this relationship becomes the only truth that you could ever want. All truth is here.

Faith is the opposite of fear, as much a part of love as fear is of attack. Faith is the acknowledgment of union. It is the gracious acknowledgment of everyone as a Son of your most loving Father, loved by Him like you, and therefore loved by you as yourself. Faith is as easily exchanged for knowledge as is the real world. For faith arises from the Holy Spirit’s perception, and is the sign that you share it with Him.

Truth follows faith and peace, completing the process of making lovely what they begin. For faith is still a learning goal, no longer needed when the lesson has been learned. Yet truth will stay forever.

Man’s power lies in giving. He must learn to give as Nature gives. Each half of a cycle eternally gives to the other half for re-giving. Nature forever unfolds into many for the purpose of refolding into one. Each individual must manifest this universal law.

Sin versus Error

Error mustn't be confused with sin, and it is this distinction that makes salvation possible. For errors can be corrected, and the wrong made right. But sin, were it possible, would be irreversible. The belief in sin is necessarily based on the firm conviction that minds, not bodies, can attack. And thus the mind is guilty, and will forever so remain unless a mind not part of it can give it absolution. Sin calls for punishment as error for correction, and the belief that punishment is correction is clearly insane.

Sin is not an error, for sin entails an arrogance which the idea of error lacks. To sin would be to violate reality, and to succeed. Sin is the proclamation that attack is real and guilt is justified. It assumes the Son of God is guilty, and has thus succeeded in losing his innocence and making himself what God created not. Thus, creation is seen as not eternal, and the Will of God is open to opposition and defeat. Sin is the grand illusion underlying all the ego’s grandiosity. For by it God Himself is changed, and rendered incomplete.

The Son of God can be mistaken; he can deceive himself; he can even turn the power of his mind against himself. But he cannot sin. There is nothing he can do that would really change his reality in any way, nor make him really guilty. That is what sin would do, for such is its purpose. Yet for all the wild insanity inherent in the whole idea of sin, it is impossible. For the wages of sin are death, and how can the immortal die?

Its protection, and the fundamental purpose of the special relationship in its interpretation.

It can indeed be said that the ego made its world on sin. Only in such a world could everything be upside down. This is the strange illusion that makes the clouds of guilt seem heavy and impenetrable. The solidness that this world’s foundation seems to have is found in this. For sin has changed creation from an idea of God to an ideal the ego wants; a world it rules, made up of bodies, mindless and capable of complete corruption and decay. If this is a mistake, it can be undone easily by the truth. Any mistake can be corrected, if truth be left to judge it. But if the mistake is given the status of truth, to what can it be brought? The “holiness” of sin is kept in place by just this strange device. As truth it is inviolate, and everything is brought to it for judgment. As a mistake, it must be brought to the truth. It is impossible to have faith in sin, for sin is faithlessness. Yet it is possible to have faith that a mistake can be corrected.

The Unreality of Sin

Sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin will never happen, for it has no cause. The ego does not think it possible that love, not fear, is really called upon by sin, and always answers. For the ego brings sin to fear, demanding punishment. Yet punishment is but another form of guilt’s protection, for what is deserving punishment must have been really done. Punishment is always the great preserver of sin, treating it with respect and honoring its enormity. What must be punished, must be true. And what is true must be eternal, and will be repeated endlessly.

For what you think is real you want, and will not let it go.

An error, on the other hand, is not attractive. What you see clearly as a mistake you want corrected. Sometimes a sin can be repeated over and over, with obviously distressing results, but without the loss of its appeal. And suddenly, you change its status from a sin to a mistake. Now you will not repeat it; you will merely stop and let it go, unless the guilt remains. For then you will but change the form of sin, granting that it was an error, but keeping it uncorrectable. This is not really a change in your perception, for it is sin that calls for punishment, not error.

The Holy Spirit cannot punish sin.

Mistakes He recognizes, and would correct them all as God entrusted Him to do. But sin He knows not, nor can He recognize mistakes that cannot be corrected.

• For a mistake that cannot be corrected is meaningless to Him.

• Mistakes are for correction, and they call for nothing else.

• What calls for punishment must call for nothing.

• Every mistake must be a call for love.

What, then, is sin? What could it be but a mistake you would keep hidden; a call for help(for love)that you would keep unheard and thus unanswered?

If sin is real, it must forever be beyond the hope of healing. For there would be a power beyond God’s, capable of making another will that could attack His Will and overcome it; and give His Son a will apart from His, and stronger. And each part of God’s fragmented creation would have a different will, opposed to His, and in eternal opposition to Him and to each other. Your holy relationship has, as its purpose now, the goal of proving this is impossible.

The attraction of guilt produces fear of love, for love would never look on guilt at all.

It is the nature of love to look upon only the truth, for there it sees itself, with which it would unite in holy union and completion. As love must look past fear, so must fear see love not. For love contains the end of guilt, as surely as fear depends on it.

Love is attracted only to love. Overlooking guilt completely, it sees no fear. Being wholly without attack, it could not be afraid.

• Fear is attracted to what love sees not, and each believes that what the other looks upon does not exist.

• Fear looks on guilt with just the same devotion that love looks on itself. And each has messengers which it sends forth, and which return to it with messages written in the language in which their going forth was asked.

Love’s messengers are gently sent and return with messages of love and gentleness. The messengers of fear are harshly ordered to seek out guilt, and cherish every scrap of evil and of sin that they can find, losing none of them on pain of death, and laying them respectfully before their lord and master

The above is all an intertangled part of God's invisible energy of Love or consciousness. A small unique portion of God's continuous, perpetual power. Each with your own free will and rational thoughts.

The light that you are announces itself fully with the awareness that all are equal. Equality in these teachings is highly inconvenient for most of you. You want your idea of spiritual growth while you eat your bonbons and do your meditations as that handsome teacher instructed you in that handsome class you attend with other handsome people. You understand yourselves in secular communities. These are ways of knowing the self, born in preference, born in ideas of what community should be, and have very little truth.

In the eternal now, you simply are. And what simply is, is not necessarily bound through the requirements that time has utilized. If you understand time primarily as an organization, you can see its requirements and function. But when you go to the upper realm, things are happening in immediacy because awareness is always present. There is no idea of Tuesday. Tuesday is in the common field. It was a requirement in the common field. It was no longer nine o’clock. It was no clock at all. It was simply now.

We exist now, and now is eternity.

Your idea of God, your idea of what must be named God, is informed by thousands of years of ideology, and the idea of God itself has become a totem, a construct, a wooden idol that you seek to pray to. God has no name. God is the nameless, the absolute, the unobstructed. God is the manifestation, and the lack of manifestation, all at once. The manifest world that you have named as things—the chair, the sky—are all God and named as such by you. “I know God as chair, God as sky,” and beyond the name of chair or sky there is only God, and beyond the name of God there is everything and there is nothing. There is sound, there is silence, and they are one.

The great sound that we would call God, in intonation, is the song of the soul in complete resonance with its truth. The name of God without sound is who and what you are when even the human form you have taken has moved beyond language or the names things have been used to codify expression. What this means is that the entirety of being, in assumption as what it has always been, is a great cry, a great silence, a beautiful song, and a heartfelt weeping, all at the same time. There can be no expression without what you know of as God, and therefore all expression, all great expression and small expression, is God in expression as the who, as the what, as the sound of love, in knowing, in being, without the name love to confuse it.

“Now what does that mean?” Again, to language.

You have heard the idea that God is love, but even the word love is so tainted by history that its meaning is confused to you. In love, in the vibration of love, what we know of as God, with the name God attached, is an idea of a Source that is a benediction, that is caring, that will do what you wish, as you wish it, if you would pray to it in a certain way. This is not God. This is not love. All love is is the expression of the Source without the name love attached.

If you understand that God or Source, the nameless, exists beyond time, you can begin to imagine that there was a time when even the idea of love was uncreated, unthought. To move to the infinite in your potential is to actually release the codification of ideology that would now limit you. And we must say that includes your idea of what love is, because even that is now predicated by the inheritance you have claimed as a small self. If love is God, and God is the nameless, then love is nameless. If love is nameless, even the idea of love is in union and without names in the manifest Source that you experience yourself as.

If you understand where we are taking you in this instruction, it’s to a new idea of infinity without the polarization of love and hate, light and dark, joy and sorrow. These are all real things as you experience them, but only in that the language you use to describe them is the language you have been taught to use as descriptors. You can say sorrow and call to you the experience of sorrow that you understand sorrow to be, and the word itself, the emblemization of emotion, codifies the emotion and claims it in a kind of separation from the being that you are. “I feel sorrow” claims sorrow as something other. You can never be sorrow. That can never be your being. But you may feel sorrowful. In that way, you give identity to emotion and establish it in power and it governs your experience.

The nameless, we suggest, the Divine as who and what you are beyond codification and the idea of form, must be created with an intention to know what the Divine is. When the Divine has no name, and the qualities you would endow it with are no longer operating through language, you begin to experience infinity.

“What is infinity?” What infinity is, the experience of the absolute. Because the absolute does not exist through time—you may know it in time, but it is not through time that it is realized—you may begin to comprehend what is always. (What is true is always true)

And by always we mean what is always present, the thing that informs creation, the thing that is manifest as you, and the amazing thing that you become when you release the bondage that the small self has claimed through its agreement to separation. We are all a very small aspect of this nameless energy we call God or love through our language…

It is only the arrogance of the ego that leads you to question this, and only the fear of the ego that induces you to regard yourself as not part of this minuscule aspect of God, his eternal energy.

There are only two parts of your mind

1. One is ruled by the ego, and is made up of illusions.

2. The other is the home of the Holy Spirit, where truth rules.

There are no other guides but these to choose between, and no other outcomes possible as a result of your choice but the fear that the ego always engenders, and the love that the Holy Spirit always offers to replace it.

The ego’s fundamental wish is to replace God. In fact, the ego is the physical embodiment of that wish. For it is that wish that seems to surround the mind with a body, keeping it separate and alone, and unable to reach other minds except through the body that was made to imprison it. The limit on communication cannot be the best means to expand communication.

Yet the ego would have you believe that it is. and the ego’s need for grievances, which are necessary to maintain it, peoples it with figures that seem to attack you and call for “righteous” judgment. These figures become the middlemen the ego employs to traffic in grievances. They stand between your awareness, Gods truth, and knowing or realizing.

Think of the freedom in the recognition that you are not bound by all the strange and twisted laws you have set up to save you. You really think that you would starve unless you have stacks of green paper strips and piles of metal discs. You really think a small round pellet or some fluid pushed into your veins through a sharpened needle will ward off disease and death. You really think you are alone unless another body is with you. It is insanity that thinks these things. You call them laws, and put them under different names in a long catalogue of rituals that have no use and serve no purpose. You think you must obey the “laws” of medicine, of economics and of health. Protect the body, and you will be saved.

These are not laws, but madness.

The body is endangered by the mind that hurts itself. The body suffers just in order that the mind will fail to see it is the victim of itself. The body’s suffering is a mask the mind holds up to hide what really suffers. It would not understand it is its own enemy; that it attacks itself and wants to die. It is from this your “laws” would save the body. It is for this you think you are a body. There are no laws except the laws of God. This needs repeating, over and over, until you realize it applies to everything that you have made in opposition to God’s Will. Your magic has no meaning. What it is meant to save does not exist. Only what it is meant to hide will save you. The laws of God can never be replaced.

Mans religion obscures the big lie of all that we are desperate from the source of all.

I am in the likeness of my Creator. I cannot suffer, I cannot experience loss and I cannot die. I am not a body. I would recognize my reality today. I will worship no idols, nor raise my own self-concept to replace my Self. I am in the likeness of my Creator. Love created me like itself.

It is important to remember that miracles(acts of love & forgiveness) and vision necessarily go together.

This needs repeating, and frequent repeating. It is a central idea in your new thought system, and the perception that it produces.

The miracle is always there. Its presence is not caused by your vision; its absence is not the result of your failure to see. It is only your awareness of miracles that is affected. You will see them in the light; you will not see them in the dark. To you, then, light is crucial. While you remain in darkness, the miracle remains unseen. Thus you are convinced it is not there. This follows from the premises from which the darkness comes. Denial of light leads to failure to perceive it. Failure to perceive light is to perceive darkness. The light is useless to you then, even though it is there. You cannot use it because its presence is unknown to you. And the seeming reality of the darkness makes the idea of light meaningless.

It is God’s strength in you that is the light in which you see, as it is His Mind with which you think. His strength denies your weakness. It is your weakness that sees through the body’s eyes, peering about in darkness to behold the likeness of itself; the small, the weak, the sickly and the dying, those in need, the helpless and afraid, the sad, the poor, the starving and the joyless. These are seen through eyes that cannot see and cannot bless.

Strength comes from truth, and shines with light its Source has given it; weakness reflects the darkness of its maker. It is sick and looks on sickness, which is like itself. Truth is a savior and can only will for happiness and peace for everyone. It gives its strength to everyone who asks, in limitless supply. It sees that lack in anyone would be a lack in all. And so it gives its light that all may see and benefit as one. Its strength is shared, that it may bring to all the miracle in which they will unite in purpose and forgiveness and in love. Weakness, which looks in darkness, cannot see a purpose in forgiveness and in love. It sees all others different from itself, and nothing in the world that it would share. It judges and condemns, but does not love.

Weakness(ego), which looks in darkness, cannot see a purpose in forgiveness and in love. It sees all others different from itself, and nothing in the world that it would share. It judges and condemns, but does not love. In darkness it remains to hide itself, and dreams that it is strong and conquering, a victor over limitations that but grow in darkness to enormous size. It fears and it attacks and hates itself, and darkness covers everything it sees, leaving its dreams as fearful as itself. No miracles are here, but only hate. It separates itself from what it sees, while light and strength perceive themselves as one. The light of strength is not the light you see. It does not change and flicker and go out. It does not shift from night to day, and back to darkness till the morning comes again. The light of strength is constant, sure as love, forever glad to give itself away, because it cannot give but to itself. No one can ask in vain to share its sight, and none who enters its abode can leave without a miracle before his eyes, and strength and light abiding in his heart. The strength in you will offer you the light, and guide your seeing so you do not dwell on idle shadows that the body’s eyes provide for self-deception. Strength and light unite in you, and where they meet, your Self stands ready to embrace you as Its Own. Such is the meeting place we try today to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your True Self is.

The ego you, think you are the home of evil, darkness and sin. You think if anyone could see the truth about you he would be repelled, recoiling from you as if from a poisonous snake. You think if what is true about you were revealed to you, you would be struck with horror so intense that you would rush to death by your own hand, living on after seeing this being impossible. These are beliefs so firmly fixed that it is difficult to help you see that they are based on nothing. That you have made mistakes is obvious. That you have sought salvation in strange ways; have been deceived, deceiving and afraid of foolish fantasies and savage dreams; and have bowed down to idols made of dust,–all this is true by what you now believe.

Today we question this, not from the point of view of what you think, but from a very different reference point, from which such idle thoughts are meaningless.

These thoughts are not according to God’s Will. These weird beliefs He does not share with you. This is enough to prove that they are wrong, but you do not perceive that this is so. Why would you not be overjoyed to be assured that all the evil that you think you did was never done, that all your sins are nothing, that you are as pure and holy as you were created, and that light and joy and peace abide in you? Your image of yourself cannot withstand the Will of God. You think that this is death, but it is life. You think you are destroyed, but you are saved. The self you made is not the Son of God. Therefore, this self does not exist at all. And anything it seems to do and think means nothing. It is neither bad nor good. It is unreal, and nothing more than that. It does not battle with the Son of God. It does not hurt him, nor attack his peace. It has not changed creation, nor reduced eternal sinlessness to sin, and love to hate. What power can this self you made possess, when it would contradict the Will of God? Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. Over and over this must be repeated, until it is accepted. It is true. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. Nothing can touch it, or change what God created as eternal. The self you made, evil and full of sin, is meaningless. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God, and light and joy and peace abide in you. Salvation requires the acceptance of but one thought;–you are as God created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God created you. Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is unchanged.

Creation is eternal and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You are and will forever be exactly as you were created. Light and joy and peace abide in you because God put them there.

You are what God created or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not there. Try to experience the unity of your one Self. Try to appreciate Its Holiness and the love from which It was created. Try not to interfere with the Self which God created as you, by hiding Its majesty behind the tiny idols of evil and sinfulness you have made to replace It. Let It come into Its Own. Here you are; This is You. And light and joy and peace abide in you because this is so.

Sins or Mistakes

You have merely made a mistake. This calls for correction, and for nothing else. To allow a mistake to continue is to make additional mistakes, based on the first and reinforcing it. It is this process that must be laid aside, for it is but another way in which you would defend illusions against the truth.

Let all these errors go by recognizing them for what they are. They are attempts to keep you unaware you are one Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace. This is the truth, and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth again, and try to reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is true.

You are one Self, united and secure in light and joy and peace. You are God’s Son, one Self, with one Creator and one goal; to bring awareness of this oneness to all minds, that true creation may extend the allness and the unity of God. You are one Self, complete and healed and whole

Although you are one Self, you experience yourself as two; as both good and evil, loving and hating, mind and body. This sense of being split into opposites induces feelings of acute and constant conflict, and leads to frantic attempts to reconcile the contradictory aspects of this self-perception. You have sought many such solutions, and none of them has worked. The opposites you see in you will never be compatible. But one exists. The fact that truth and illusion cannot be reconciled, no matter how you try, what means you use and where you see the problem, must be accepted if you would be saved.

Until you have accepted this, you will attempt an endless list of goals you cannot reach; a senseless series of expenditures of time and effort, hopefulness and doubt, each one as futile as the one before, and failing as the next one surely will. Problems that have no meaning cannot be resolved within the framework they are set. Two selves in conflict could not be resolved, and good and evil have no meeting place. The self you made can never be your Self, nor can your Self be split in two, and still be what It is and must forever be. A mind and body cannot both exist. Make no attempt to reconcile the two, for one denies the other can be real.

If you are physical, your mind is gone from your self-concept, for it has no place in which it could be really part of you. If you are spirit, then the body must be meaningless to your reality. Spirit makes use of mind as means to find its Self expression. And the mind which serves the spirit is at peace and filled with joy. Its power comes from spirit, and it is fulfilling happily its function here. Yet mind can also see itself divorced from spirit, and perceive itself within a body it confuses with itself. Without its function then it has no peace, and happiness is alien to its thoughts.

I am Spirit

The truth about your Self, the holy Son of God Who rests in you; whose mind has been restored to sanity. You are the spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father’s Love and peace and joy. You are the spirit which completes Himself, and shares His function as Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him.

Salvation and forgiveness are one and must reverse the mad belief in separate thoughts and separate bodies, which lead separate lives and go their separate ways. One function shared by separate minds unites them in one purpose, for each one of them is equally essential to them everyone.

There are not different kinds of life, for life is like the truth. It does not have degrees. It is the one condition in which all that God created share.

Like all His Thoughts, it has no opposite. There is no death because what God created shares His life. There is no death because an opposite to God does not exist. There is no death because the Father and the Son are One. In this world, there appears to be a state that is life’s opposite.

You call it death. Yet we have learned that the idea of death takes many forms. It is the one idea which underlies all feelings that are not supremely happy. It is the alarm to which you give response of any kind that is not perfect joy. All sorrow, loss, anxiety and suffering and pain, even a little sigh of weariness, a slight discomfort or the merest frown, acknowledge death. And thus deny you live. You think that death is of the body. Yet it is but an idea, irrelevant to what is seen as physical.

A thought is in the mind. It can be then applied as mind directs it. But its origin is where it must be changed, if change occurs. Ideas leave not their source. The emphasis this course has placed on that idea is due to its centrality in our attempts to change your mind about yourself. It is the reason you can heal. It is the cause of healing. It is why you cannot die. Its truth established you as one with God. Death is the thought that you are separate from your Creator. It is the belief conditions change, emotions alternate because of causes you cannot control, you did not make, and you can never change.

The opposite of life can only be another form of life.

As such, it can be reconciled with what created it, because it is not opposite in truth. Its form may change; it may appear to be what it is not. Yet mind is mind, awake or sleeping. It is not its opposite in anything created, nor in what it seems to make when it believes it sleeps.

God creates only mind awake. He does not sleep, and His creations cannot share what He gives not, nor make conditions which He does not share with them. The thought of death is not the opposite to thoughts of life. Forever unopposed by opposites of any kind, the Thoughts of God remain forever changeless, with the power to extend forever changelessly, but yet within themselves, for they are everywhere.

What seems to be the opposite of life is merely sleeping. When the mind elects to be what it is not, and to assume an alien power which it does not have, a foreign state it cannot enter, or a false condition not within its Source, it merely seems to go to sleep a while. It dreams of time; an interval in which what seems to happen never has occurred, the changes wrought are substanceless, and all events are nowhere.

When the mind awakes, it but continues as it always was.

We share one life because we have one Source, a Source from which perfection comes to us, remaining always in the holy minds which He created perfect. As we were, so are we now and will forever will be.

Bodies are vehicles of consciousness and nothing more. They are fun, they are wonderful, they are gifts, but they are the vehicles of consciousness. Consciousness extends beyond the body and consciousness extends beyond the construct of time.

Grace

Grace is an aspect of the Love of God which is most like the state prevailing in the unity of truth. It is the world’s most lofty aspiration, for it leads beyond the world entirely. It is past learning, yet the goal of learning, for grace cannot come until the mind prepares itself for true acceptance.

Grace becomes inevitable instantly in those who have prepared a table where it can be gently laid and willingly received; an altar clean and holy for the gift. Grace is acceptance of the Love of God within a world of seeming hate and fear. By grace alone the hate and fear are gone, for grace presents a state so opposite to everything the world contains, that those whose minds are lighted by the gift of grace can not believe the world of fear is real.

Grace is not learned. The final step must go beyond all learning. Grace is not the goal this course aspires to attain. Yet we prepare for grace in that an open mind can hear the Call to waken. It is not shut tight against God’s Voice. It has become aware that there are things it does not know, and thus is ready to accept a state completely different from experience with which it is familiarly at home.

Perception

• Perception has a focus.

• It is this that gives consistency to what you see.

• Change but this focus, and what you behold will change accordingly.

• Your vision now will shift, to give support to the intent which has replaced the one you held before.

Remove your focus on your brother’s sins, and you experience the peace that comes from faith in sinlessness. This faith receives its only sure support from what you see in others past their sins. For their mistakes, if focused on, are witnesses to sins in you. And you will not transcend their sight and see the sinlessness that lies beyond.

Perception follows judgment. Having judged, we therefore see what we would look upon.

Happiness

Happiness is an attribute of love. It cannot be apart from it. Nor can it be experienced where love is not. Love has no limits, being everywhere. And therefore joy is everywhere as well. Yet can the mind deny that this is so, believing there are gaps in love where sin can enter, bringing pain instead of joy. This strange belief would limit happiness by redefining love as limited, and introducing opposition in what has no limit and no opposite. Fear is associated then with love, and its results become the heritage of minds that think what they have made is real. These images, with no reality in truth, bear witness to the fear of God, forgetting being Love, He must be joy.

Creation

Creation is the sum of all God’s Thoughts, in number infinite, and everywhere without all limit. Only love creates, and only like itself. There was no time when all that it created was not there. Nor will there be a time when anything that it created suffers any loss. Forever and forever are God’s thoughts exactly as they were and as they are, unchanged through time and after time is done. God’s thoughts are given all the power that their own Creator has. For He would add to love by its extension. Thus His Son shares in creation, and must therefore share in power to create. What God has willed to be forever One will still be One when time is over; and will not be changed throughout the course of time, remaining as it was before the thought of time began. Creation is the opposite of all illusions, for creation is the truth. Creation is the holy Son of God, for in creation is His Will complete in every aspect, making every part container of the whole. Its oneness is forever guaranteed inviolate; forever held within His holy Will, beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection and of any spot upon its sinlessness. We are creation; we the Sons of God. We seem to be discrete, and unaware of our eternal unity with Him. Yet back of all our doubts, past all our fears, there still is certainty. For love remains with all its Thoughts, its sureness being theirs. God’s memory is in our holy minds, which know their oneness and their unity with their Creator. Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God’s Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but as God created us.

Forgiveness is the means appointed for perception’s ending.

Knowledge is restored after perception first is changed, and then gives way entirely to what remains forever past its highest reach. For sights and sounds, at best, can serve but to recall the memory that lies beyond them all. Forgiveness sweeps away distortions, and opens the hidden altar to the truth.

TrueTruth

This basic error we will try to bring to truth, and teach ourselves: God, being Love, is also happiness. To fear Him is to be afraid of joy.

Begin practicing this thought today with this association, which corrects the false belief that God is fear. It also emphasizes happiness belongs to you, because of what He is and also because you are a part of him.

Truth

Can you imagine what a state of mind without illusions is? How it would feel? Try to remember when there was a time,–perhaps a minute, maybe even less–when nothing came to interrupt your peace; when you were certain you were loved and safe. Then try to picture what it would be like to have that moment be extended to the end of time and to eternity. Then let the sense of quiet that you felt be multiplied a hundred times, and then be multiplied another hundred more. And now you have a hint, not more than just the faintest intimation of the state your mind will rest in when the truth has come. Without illusions there could be no fear, no doubt and no attack. When truth has come all pain is over, for there is no room for transitory thoughts and dead ideas to linger in your mind. Truth occupies your mind completely, liberating you from all beliefs in the ephemeral. They have no place because the truth has come, and they are nowhere. They can not be found, for truth is everywhere forever, now. When truth has come it does not stay a while, to disappear or change to something else. It does not shift and alter in its form, nor come and go and go and come again. It stays exactly as it always was, to be depended on in every need, and trusted with a perfect trust.

Both giving and receiving seen as different aspects of one Thought whose truth does not depend on which is seen as first, nor which appears to be in second place. Here it is understood that both occur together, that the Thought remain complete. And in this understanding is the base on which all opposites are reconciled, because they are perceived from the same frame of reference which unifies this Thought. One thought, completely unified, will serve to unify all thought. This is the same as saying one correction will suffice for all correction, or that to forgive one brother wholly is enough to bring salvation to all minds. For these are but some special cases of one law which holds for every kind of learning, if it be directed by the One Who knows the truth. To learn that giving and receiving are the same has special usefulness, because it can be tried so easily and seen as true. And when this special case has proved it always works, in every circumstance where it is tried, the thought behind it can be generalized to other areas of doubt and double vision. And from there it will extend, and finally arrive at the one Thought which underlies them all.

God is my strength. Vision is His gift. Let me not look to my own eyes to see today. Let me be willing to exchange my pitiful illusion of seeing for the vision that is given by God. Christ’s vision is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me call upon this gift today, so that this day may help me to understand eternity.

God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him. I can see what God wants me to see. I cannot see anything else. Beyond His Will lie only illusions. It is these I choose when I think I can see apart from Him. It is these I choose when I try to see through the body’s eyes. Yet the vision of Christ has been given me to replace them. It is through this vision that I choose to see.

God is the light in which I see. I cannot see in darkness. God is the only light. Therefore, if I am to see, it must be through Him. I have tried to define what seeing is, and I have been wrong. Now it is given me to understand that God is the light in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the happy world it will show me.

God is the Mind with which I think. I have no thoughts I do not share with God. I have no thoughts apart from Him, because I have no mind apart from His. As part of His Mind, my thoughts are His and His Thoughts are mine. These ideas are for today’s review:

God is the Love in which I forgive. God does not forgive because He has never condemned. The blameless cannot blame, and those who have accepted their innocence see nothing to forgive. Yet forgiveness is the means by which I will recognize my innocence. It is the reflection of God’s Love on earth. It will bring me near enough to Heaven that the Love of God can reach down to me and raise me up to Him.

God is the strength in which I trust. It is not my own strength through which I forgive. It is through the strength of God in me, which I am remembering as I forgive. As I begin to see, I recognize His reflection on earth. I forgive all things because I feel the stirring of His strength in me. And I begin to remember the Love I chose to forget, but which has not forgotten me.

There is nothing to fear. How safe the world will look to me when I can see it! It will not look anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I will recognize in everyone my dearest Friend.

The truth about your Self, the holy Son of God Who rests in you; whose mind has been restored to sanity. You are the spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father’s Love and peace and joy.

You are the spirit which completes Himself, and shares His function as Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him. past undone; the present saved to quietly extend into a timeless future.

If you are as God created you, then there has been no separation of your mind from His, no split between your mind and other minds, and only unity within your own.

If you remain as God created you, appearances cannot replace the truth, health cannot turn to sickness, nor can death be substitute for life, or fear for love. You need no thought but just this one, let redemption come to light the your world and free it from the past.

The healing power of today’s idea is limitless. It is the birthplace of all miracles, the great restorer of the truth to the awareness of the world. Practice today’s idea with gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you free. This is the truth that God has promised you. This is the Word in which all sorrow ends.

The unforgiving mind is full of fear, and offers love no room to be itself; no place where it can spread its wings in peace and soar above the turmoil of the world. The unforgiving mind is sad, without the hope of respite and release from pain. It suffers and abides in misery, peering about in darkness, seeing not, yet certain of the danger lurking there. The unforgiving mind is torn with doubt, confused about itself and all it sees; afraid and angry, weak and blustering, afraid to go ahead, afraid to stay, afraid to waken or to go to sleep, afraid of every sound, yet more afraid of stillness; terrified of darkness, yet more terrified at the approach of light. What can the unforgiving mind perceive but its damnation? What can it behold except the proof that all its sins are real? The unforgiving mind sees no mistakes, but only sins. It looks upon the world with sightless eyes, and shrieks as it beholds its own projections rising to attack its miserable parody of life. It wants to live, yet wishes it were dead. It wants forgiveness, yet it sees no hope. It wants escape, yet can conceive of none because it sees the sinful everywhere.

The unforgiving mind is in despair, without the prospect of a future which can offer anything but more despair. Yet it regards its judgment of the world as irreversible, and does not see it has condemned itself to this despair. It thinks it cannot change, for what it sees bears witness that its judgment is correct. It does not ask, because it thinks it knows. It does not question, certain it is right. Forgiveness is acquired. It is not inherent in the mind, which cannot sin. As sin is an idea you taught yourself, forgiveness must be learned by you as well, but from a Teacher other than yourself, Who represents the other Self in you. Through Him you learn how to forgive the self you think you made, and let it disappear. Thus you return your mind as one to Him Who is your Self, and Who can never sin. Each unforgiving mind presents you with an opportunity to teach your own how to forgive itself.

The Power in Prayer

And Gratitude

The term willful, conscious intent was coined to encompass prayers' many far-reaching medical and spiritual applications.

Three parts of a prayer:

• willful: the ability to influence through mental power

• conscious: a knowledgeable stream of awareness

• intent: concentrated attention to a specific purpose

What we do in our lives is not as important as why we do it. At long last, we grasped what matters — our intent, the motivating factors supporting any action taken. This is the true measure of a soul.

Prayer gives us the ability to draw from the spiritual realms the strength and inspiration to open our minds and hearts to behold the powers of the mystical dimensions in the physical realm. Prayer, whether used in the religious context or as willful, conscious intent used scientifically, steadfastly remains the true model of the harnessed spiritual might of directed thought.

In prayer, be specific, giving thanks for spiritual guidance to direct you to the perfect vocation to develop your gift of healing. In belief, know that your true joy will be found in the expression of your talent. Choose to show due diligence as you allow the process to naturally unfold in Spirit's timing. In all ways, let love be your guide. In the light of love, you will move ever closer to the realization of your sweetest dreams. Of course, it’s best to consciously travel the Path to Power every day, despite whatever challenging circumstances you find yourself in, for no matter what situation might confront you, remaining committed to the Path to Power will invariably lead you to your highest good and closer to birthing your very own dancing star. That is your gift from Spirit. Living your sweetest dream is your gift to Spirit.

The Power in Love

The Mastery of Intent, Life, or the Energy of Love

The power of love is the key by which we identify the spiritual nature of all things.

Although the possibility of being emotionally bruised through loving in interpersonal relationships exists, the secret to love’s power still dwells in the great strength it commands. Love is not for wimps. It takes tremendous courage to embrace this divine energy. Each of us is acting as a vessel for unlimited divinity within the confines of our physical existence.

Imagine that the universe, complete with its billions of stars and planets, is painted on a canvas. Imagine now that this canvas is the living power we call love. Well, guess what? We are composed of the same molecular constitution as that love. To stay in a state of perfect alignment with this living power, all we have to do is give it away. The more we love, the more we are capable of loving.

Deep, conscious breathing is the best way to center ourselves in the heart of love. By taking time each day to practice deep breathing exercises, we increase our conscious attunement to our spiritual core.

Moreover, meditation is mandatory to discover the divine peace that resides between our thoughts. Our connection to divine peace is crucial to becoming consciously united with our higher self. From this unified state of being, our life force is magnified to the degree that it becomes capable of positively charging the subtle energy grids surrounding the planet. As the grids charge, they increase their ability to receive higher celestial energies to expedite enlightenment on a global basis.

Truth is always simple; all we have to do to start a chain reaction of love is institute a daily regime that includes conscious breathing and meditation. That’s so easy even I can't forget to do it!

Gratitude is another vital component in this mix. We must make a point every day of counting our blessings. Living in a state of constant gratitude manifests more to be grateful for. Love and appreciation blended compose harmony in the key of life, which can syncopate the collective heart and soul of all humankind into a mesmerizing rhythm of spiritual euphoria.

To become love is what life is. By giving and receiving

But mostly by giving. 80% giving 20% receiving...

Living in The Present

Remaining in alignment with the pillars of prayer and love keeps us focused on the Now.

When we pray and believe our prayer will be answered, there is no need for concern. We don’t have to worry about what was or what will be. Our prayer for the perfect outcome transports us to a place of perfect peace, in the present moment…

When we live in a consciousness of love, there is no past or future. For love conquers all things. It forgives all things. Divine love is timeless; true love is enduring, In the Fourfold Path to Power, the pillar of love stands supreme.

Through the faithful practice of the four pillars, we are assured the experience of unity over duality. This is a logical consequence of expanding our consciousness into the reality of spiritual purity.

In our life before life, we are permeated with the energy of spiritual purity. Thereby, our souls are infused with the integrity of divine innocence. In this haven of holiness, we experience our primordial origins of life while we are bathed in the warmth of eternal truth. Subsequently, we are compelled to expand our consciousness within a framework specifically designed for the universal progression of love and compassion.

Our time spent in the cosmic womb is structured to be developmental. In this treasured environment of enlightenment, we do the arduous work of soul excavation. We probe the deepest strata of our being to bring to light our most authentic selves. In this way, we realize our powerfully intimate connection to everything else within the universe. The world before is where the blueprint of our spiritual evolution is lovingly fashioned. Every lesson necessary for our soul’s growth is scrupulously planned in this divine realm.

In the world before this one, our spiritual progress is carefully measured and its advancement meticulously calculated. You know, in many ways, we remain forever connected to this realm, for I believe that when we elect to take on a physical body and life, an aspect of our eternal being stays behind in this realm.

KNOWINGNESS

I cannot rely on the appearance of the present as a means of predicting the future. When I know in my heart, unwaveringly, where I want to go and what I want to achieve, there are no challenges that can stop me.

• We can turn our attention to the exciting task of making ourselves more aware.

• We can use memory the way it was intended to be used—to keep us from repeating past mistakes.

• We can imagine things we've never tried to imagine.

• We can doubt what we know and let go of familiar stories.

The mind wields enormous influence. It has developed habits over time, but we can change those habits. By using the tools available to us, we can calm the inner chaos and find peace in our virtual world.

One of the reasons for living within the physical plane is to learn, grow, and mature spiritually into a state of unconditional love.

We all have a mission when we choose to come here what and how we achieve it if we do is up to us through our experiences here through our five senses and our mind-to-heart connection…

Life energy (consciousness) is eternal. Nothing can destroy it and, by design, it is destined to expand eternally.

The 3rd Intention

Mastery of Intent

The third Mastery of Intent is the result when we are no longer the body and no longer the mind. We are no longer the soul. We are just love because love includes everything. Love is the real name of God. Love is everywhere. Everything is made of love. We realize we are energy.

1. Mastery of Intent. This is the mastery of the spirit and the will. The Master of Intent becomes One with God. God works through the master's mouth, mind, and hands. In that state, with every action the master does, there is God.

The Master of Transformation is also a Master of Love, or we might say a Master of Intent. These are synonymous terms. The warrior learns that the truth is love.

We accumulate knowledge only to change the information on our computers. Once we change and become who we are, we no longer need knowledge. You need to cross the river of knowledge to transcend and not come back here anymore. Our knowledge closes off our intuition. Intuition leads us to the truth. Truth is alive. Everything is in evolution. Everything is biological. Everything is alive?

We are life, we are the force, we are intent, and intent controls the attention. We are here to learn and enjoy life. The dream of the third attention is the dream of pure intent. We become aware that we are life — not just as a concept, but as an action, as complete awareness. Now we can see with the eyes of truth, and this is a completely different point of view. If you can become The Mastery of Life Intent or the energy of Love we become a….

The Seer

You are here to be a dreamer, to be an artist, to be a seer. But you cannot be a seer when you only have eyes to see your own story, your own wounds, your victimization.

When you are still focusing on what your mother did to you twenty years ago, or forty years ago, or what your father did, or what your partner did, or what any of the other secondary characters in your story did to you, then you are not seeing the truth. You must minimize the ego me, me, me thought system, the parasite, making God's thought system of love more prevalent. If you are focusing on all that drama, then talking to you is like talking to a wall.

As a seer, you see what people pretend to be, what they express, what they believe they are. You know that it’s not the truth; you know that everybody is just pretending. What are they pretending? You don’t know, exactly; you can’t read the minds of all those secondary characters that you create. You hardly know what you’re pretending. But something you can see behind all that pretending is the real person. And how can you not love the real person? Just like you, the real person comes from the infinite. The real person has nothing to do with the symbols that come from the voice of knowledge; the real person has nothing to do with any story.

When you become a seer, you see what is behind the story. You understand other people, but they don’t understand themselves. There’s no way they will understand you, and they don’t have to. The majority of humans don’t have the awareness that you have. They don’t know why they are the way they are. They have no idea; they just survive. They don’t have to believe everybody, but they believe everybody anyway. They don’t trust themselves at all; they have no idea how great they are. They only see their knowledge, which surrounds them like a wall of fog. Imagine being the only sober person in the middle of a thousand completely drunk people. Are you going to discuss it with people like that? Do you want to believe them? You know that whatever they say isn’t the truth. And you know this because you used to be drunk too, and everything you said wasn’t the truth either. With awareness, you can easily understand how those minds were prepared to become what they are. But just because you have awareness, it doesn’t mean that you are better than anyone else.

Being aware doesn’t make you superior, and it doesn’t make you more intelligent. It has nothing to do with intelligence. Knowing this, of course, you are completely humble. You just don’t care. But there are two ways of “I don’t care.” There’s the way of the victim in the dream of the first attention, and that “I don’t care” is just a lie, because victims do care, and they get very hurt and injured. They have all those emotional wounds that are full of poison and a defense mechanism that says, “Oh, I don’t care.” Of course, they care, and of course, you won’t believe that “I don’t care.”

When you’re a seer, humans are extremely predictable. You can see that all humans in the dream of the victims are possessed by the main character of their story.

This is their point of view — their only point of view. The way they see life is very narrow, and it’s narrow because their beliefs act like a mirror that only shows them what they believe, and it’s obvious that it’s not true at all.

• They project what they believe on you, and you perceive what they project on you, but you don’t take it personally because you don’t assume that what they are projecting is true.

• You know that what they project is what they believe about themselves, and you know that because you used to do the same thing.

• Once you become a seer, you see everything that other artists do to themselves, but your point of view is completely impersonal.

The process of unlearning takes you to a place where there’s no longer a judge and a victim in your story. It’s just a story, and you know that it’s your creation, but it’s just as if it’s happening to somebody else. You see all the stories; you see all the symbols; you see how people play with all of that, but it does not affect you. It doesn’t offend you, because you are completely immune. You see faces, you love the faces, but you are also aware that there’s something that doesn’t belong to your dream.

It’s the personal dream that other artists are dreaming, and you have complete respect for their dream, for their creation.

Faith

Faith in the eternal is always justified, for the eternal is forever kind, infinite in its patience and wholly loving. It will accept you wholly, and give you peace. Yet it can unite only with what already is at peace in you, immortal as itself. The body can bring you neither peace nor turmoil; neither joy nor pain. It is a means, and not an end. It has no purpose of itself, but only what is given to it. The body will seem to be whatever is the means for reaching the goal that you assign to it. Only the mind can set a purpose, and only the mind can see the means for its accomplishment, and justify its use. Peace and guilt are both conditions of the mind, to be attained. And these conditions are the home of the emotion that calls them forth, and therefore is compatible with them.

But think you which it is that is compatible with you. Here is your choice, and it is free. But all that lies in it will come with it, and what you think you are can never be apart from it. The body is the great seeming betrayer of faith. In it lies disillusionment and the seeds of faithlessness, but only if you ask of it what it cannot give. Can your mistake be reasonable grounds for depression and disillusionment, and for retaliative attack on what you think has failed you? Use not your error as the justification for your faithlessness. You have not sinned, but you have been mistaken in what is faithful. And the correction of your mistake will give you grounds for faith.

It is impossible to seek for pleasure through the body and not find pain. It is essential that this relationship be understood, for it is one the ego sees as proof of sin. It is not really punitive at all. It is but the inevitable result of equating yourself with the body, which is the invitation to pain. For it invites fear to enter and become your purpose. The attraction of guilt must enter with it, and whatever fear directs the body to do is therefore painful. It will share the pain of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure will be the same as pain.

Ego & Sin

From the ego came sin and guilt and death, in opposition to life and innocence, and to the Will of God Himself. Where can such opposition lie but in the sick minds of the insane, dedicated to madness and set against the peace of Heaven?

The belief in sin is an adjustment. And an adjustment is a change; a shift in perception, or a belief that what was so before has been made different. Every adjustment is therefore a distortion, and calls upon defenses to uphold it against reality. Knowledge requires no adjustments and, in fact, is lost if any shift or change is undertaken. For this reduces it at once to mere perception; a way of looking in which certainty is lost and doubt has entered. To this impaired condition are adjustments necessary, because it is not true. Who need adjust to truth, which calls on only what he is, to understand?

Adjustments of any kind are of the ego. For it is the ego’s fixed belief that all relationships depend upon adjustments, to make of them what it would have them be. Direct relationships, in which there are no interferences, are always seen as dangerous. The ego is the self-appointed mediator of all relationships, making whatever adjustments it deems necessary and interposing them between those who would meet, to keep them separate and prevent their union. It is this studied interference that makes it difficult for you to recognize your holy relationship for what it is.

The holy do not interfere with truth. They are not afraid of it, for it is within the truth they recognize their holiness, and rejoice at what they see. They look on it directly, without attempting to adjust themselves to it, or it to them. And so they see that it was in them, not deciding first where they would have it be. Their looking merely asks a question, and it is what they see that answers them. You make the world and then adjust to it, and it to you. Nor is there any difference between yourself and it in your perception, which made them both.

if the Holy Spirit can commute each sentence that you laid upon yourself into a blessing, then it cannot be a sin. Sin is the only thing in all the world that cannot change. It is immutable. And on its changelessness the world depends. The magic of the world can seem to hide the pain of sin from sinners, and deceive with glitter and with guile. Yet each one knows the cost of sin is death. And so it is. For sin is a request for death, a wish to make this world’s foundation sure as love, dependable as Heaven, and as strong as God Himself.

The world is safe from love to everyone who thinks sin possible. Nor will it change. Yet is it possible what God created not should share the attributes of His creation, when it opposes it in every way. y

You could realize nothing is changeless but the Will of God, this course would not be difficult for you. For it is this that you do not believe.

Who could create the changeless if it does not rest on truth? For here is everything perceived as one, and no one loses that each one may gain. What is not love is sin, and either one perceives the other as insane and meaningless.

Love is the basis for a world perceived as wholly mad to sinners, who believe theirs is the way to sanity. But sin is equally insane within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes would look beyond the madness and rest peacefully on truth. Each sees a world immutable, as each defines the changeless and eternal truth of what you are. What is dependable except God’s Love? And where does sanity abide except in Him?

The whole belief that someone loses but reflects the underlying tenet God must be insane. For in this world it seems that one must gain because another lost. If this were true, then God is mad indeed! But what is this belief except a form of the more basic tenet, “Sin is real, and rules the world"? For every little gain must someone lose, and pay exact amount in blood and suffering. For otherwise would evil triumph, and destruction be the total cost of any gain at all. You who believe that God is mad, look carefully at this, and understand that it must be either God or this must be insane, but hardly both.

God's Knowledge

One thing is sure; God, Who created neither sin nor death, wills not that you be bound by them. He knows of neither sin nor its results. The shrouded figures in the funeral procession march not in honor of their Creator, Whose Will it is they live. They are not following His Will; they are opposing it.

What would you see without the fear of death? What would you feel and think if death held no attraction for you? Very simply, you would remember your Father. The Creator of life, the Source of everything that lives, the Father of the universe and of the universe of universes, and of everything.

The Christ in you inhabits not a body. Yet He is in you. And thus it must be that you are not within a body. What is within you cannot be outside. And it is certain that you cannot be apart from what is at the very center of your life. What gives you life cannot be housed in death. No more can you. Christ is within a frame of Holiness whose only purpose is that He may be made manifest to those who know Him not, that He may call to them to come to Him and see Him where they thought their bodies were. Then will their bodies melt away, that they may frame His Holiness in them.

For the Mind is His. And so it must be yours. His Holiness directs the body through the mind at one with Him.

Perception is a choice of what you want yourself to be; the world you want to live in, and the state in which you think your mind will be content and satisfied. It chooses where you think your safety lies, at your decision. It reveals yourself to you as you would have you be. And always is it faithful to your purpose, from which it never separates, nor gives the slightest witness unto anything the purpose in your mind upholdeth not. Perception is a part of what it is your purpose to behold, for means and end are never separate. And thus you learn what seems to have a life apart has none.

You are the means for God; not separate, nor with a life apart from His. His life is manifest in you who are His Son.

What is the same can not be different, and what is one can not have separate parts.

4 Stages of Spirituality

Stage One, which I label ‘chaotic/antisocial’. This stage probably encompasses about twenty per cent of the population, including those whom I call people of the lie. In general, this is a stage of absent spirituality and the people at this stage are utterly unprincipled. I call it antisocial because while they are capable of pretending to be loving, actually all of their relationships with their fellow human beings are self-serving and covertly, if not overtly, manipulative. Chaotic because, being unprincipled, they have no mechanism that might govern them other than their own will.

Stage Two, which I have labelled ‘formal/institutional’. I label it institutional because people in it are dependent upon an institution for their governance. It may be the institution may be work, church or military. This is a profoundly positive role the military plays in our and other societies. There are tens of thousands of people who would lead chaotic lives were it not for the rather paternalistic and in some ways maternalistic structuring of the military.

Stage Three, which I call ‘sceptic/individual’. Again speaking generally, people in Stage Three are ahead of people in Stage Two in their spirituality, although they are not religious in the ordinary sense of the word. They are not the least bit antisocial. Often they are deeply involved in society. They are the kinds of people who tend to make up the backbone of organizations like Physicians for Social Responsibility or the ecology movement. They make committed and loving parents. Frequently they are scientists, and certainly scientific-minded. Invariably they are truth seekers. And if they seek truth deeply enough, and widely enough, as I’ve suggested, they do begin to find what they are looking for, and get to fit enough pieces of truth to catch glimpses of the big picture.

Stage Four, which I call ‘mystical/communal’.

I use the word ‘mystical’ to describe this stage even though it is a word that is hard to define and one that has been given a pejorative connotation in our culture and is usually misdefined. But certain things can be said about mystics. They are people who have seen a kind of cohesion beneath the surface of things. Throughout the ages, mystics have seen connections between men and women, between humans and other creatures, between people walking the earth and those who aren’t even here. Seeing that kind of interconnectedness beneath the surface, mystics of all cultures and religions have spoken of things in terms of unity and community. They also have always spoken in terms of paradox. Mystical has as its root the word mystery. Mystics are people who love mystery. They love to solve mysteries, and yet at the same time, they know the more they solve, the more mystery they are going to encounter. But they are very comfortable living in a world of mystery whereas people in Stage Two are most uncomfortable when things aren’t cut-and-dried.

All of the world’s great religions is that they seem to have a capacity to speak to people in both Stage Two and Stage Four as if the very teachings of a given religion have two different translations. To take an example from Judaism, Psalm 111 ends with ‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.’ At Stage Two this is translated to mean, ‘When you start fearing that big cop in the sky, you really wise up.’ That’s true. At Stage Four it is translated to mean, ‘The awe of God shows you the way to enlightenment.’ And that’s also true. ‘Jesus is my Saviour’ is a favourite statement among Christians and provides another example. Among Stage Two people, that tends to be translated to mean that Jesus is a kind of fairy godmother who can rescue me whenever I get in trouble as long as I can remember to call upon His name. And that’s true; He will do exactly that. Whereas in Stage Four, people read it to mean that Jesus, through His life and death, taught me the way that I myself must follow for my salvation. And that is also true…..

Stage Four is just the beginning.

What Is a Miracle?

A miracle is a correction. It does not create, nor really change at all. It merely looks on devastation, and reminds the mind that what it sees is false.

It undoes error, but does not attempt to go beyond perception, nor exceed the function of forgiveness. Thus it stays within time’s limits. Yet it paves the way for the return of timelessness and love’s awakening, for fear must slip away under the gentle remedy it brings.

A miracle contains the gift of grace, for it is given and received as one. And thus it illustrates the law of truth the world does not obey, because it fails entirely to understand its ways. A miracle inverts perception which was upside down before, and thus it ends the strange distortions that were manifest. Now is perception open to the truth. Now is forgiveness seen as justified.

Forgiveness is the home of miracles.

The eyes of Christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy and in love. Perception stands corrected in His sight, and what was meant to curse has come to bless. Each lily of forgiveness offers all the world the silent miracle of love. And each is laid before the Word of God, upon the universal altar to Creator and creation in the light of perfect purity and endless joy. The miracle is taken first on faith, because to ask for it implies the mind has been made ready to conceive of what it cannot see and does not understand. Yet faith will bring its witnesses to show that what it rested on is really there. And thus the miracle will justify your faith in it, and show it rested on a world more real than what you saw before; a world redeemed from what you thought was there. Miracles fall like drops of healing rain from Heaven on a dry and dusty world, where starved and thirsty creatures come to die. Now they have water. Now the world is green. And everywhere the signs of life spring up, to show that what is born can never die, for what has life has immortality.

Anger must come from judgment. Judgment is The weapon I would use against myself, To keep the miracle away from me.

Judgment and love are opposites. From one Come all the sorrows of the world. But from The other comes the peace of God Himself.

2. Understanding the ego human behavior you can now see and understand that they live in their personal ego dream world or movie. To understand basic human ego behavior, and see it in others. To see how the ego tries to control their outside world with emotions of anger, conflict, accusing, blaming, attacking, judging, I’m right you’re wrong, I’m special, you are not, etc..

3. The 4 Agreements and companion lessons, gives you easy explanations and everyday tools to implement your awareness and understanding of the basic human nature and the ego thought system.

Assignment:

Read the Relentless book

Read the 4 Agreements book, Mastery of Love book and Ego section

Read a great companion book ‘The Let Them Theory’ by Mel Robbins

Understand ONLY YOU control your real world, the inner world of your mind

See Owners Manual section read and take your time to figure out who you are and want to be. Focus more on the inner values and characteristics you want to develop and have.This is where you make sure you know what you want, who you are, and who you want to be. Integrity, honor, self-respect. Likes, dislikes, inner goals, and outer goals, etc…

Read God’s Knowledge Thought System in the Knowledge section

Now there is no excuse of ignorance

---

The rest is up to you. It’s your choice! Are you ready to learn more about being both the teacher and the student. Do you want real power? This not for the lazy person. This is where you must have the want & willpower to improve your emotional intelligence.

Laziness is the original sin.

PART II

Your 2nd choice takes the willingness & willpower to improve emotional self-control …

1. By practicing self-discipline, responsibility and implementing the 4 Agreements you can effectively improve communication skills. (along with developing self-love, knowing who you really are and what you want, improving your foundation, or updating your owner’s manual)

2. You can now brush off their words or actions because you now have knowledge of their personal ego’s control. You get angry or upset less often, and you can now respect their ego dream or movie. You see how the ego only protects your ego personality, not the real you, your inner heart or soul. You have the everyday tools to communicate more effectively and deal with their ego opinion and any possible conflicts. You have the improved ability to control your emotional reactions and now you respond in the present instead of reacting. You are not trying to control them or any other outside event or interaction. This is where you pull it it all together with this new knowledge of these 3 key areas. This gives you a great advantage in your personal and business life.

3. You don’t hate or judge them anymore. You still don’t have to like them or even associate with them if possible.(discernment) You now understand it’s God’s role to judge your brothers and sisters, not you….

….you become Bulletproof

Use the 4th Agreement… practice, repeat, practice, repeat….

…you become Relentless

Assignment:

A… Read the Awareness & Emotions section

B… Read the Love section, Read the 5th Agreement and Belief section

Implementing the 4 Agreements is the start of awareness. Seeing how the ego controls them. You understand its their ego movie, they are the creator, producer and star, it has nothing to do with you, it’s their image of you. Look for the signs and their real intention behind their words. By being the observer of your thoughts and emotions. By not automatically reacting, getting frustrated or mad, saying or doing something dumb. You wait to respond with wisdom or choose to say nothing or to agree. Now many people won’t say anything because they don’t want to have a conflict or other reasons why they don’t reply. That’s not awareness.

END OF BASIC COURSE

READ The 4 Agreements: these are core personal power life tools

The Four Agreements can be applied by anyone, in any religion or any philosophy in the world. The messenger is completely neutral; it does not give you a philosophy or a religion to follow. It is not telling you how to live your life. The information can go in many different directions because it’s based on awareness; it’s based on common sense. The Four Agreements can be used to help you raise your children, to improve your relationship with your beloved, your parents, or anyone. They may help you to explore and adopt alternative beliefs, but you will transform your dream in your way, not mine. I am not interested in changing your concepts or beliefs; this is up to you.”~Don Miguel

Mastery of Transformation

This is also known as Mastery of Stalking. Through this mastery one gains control over one's emotions. We learn to be the stalker. This is how to recover what we are. In this mastery, we learn to clean the mind, to stop suffering, to become warriors, to become masters, to become free, to become one with love.

And The Rest of The Story….

We are Dreamers: "Everything is light. Everything we know is light-based."

The Toltec tradition teaches that the mind is dreaming all the time. From the moment you wake up, until the moment you fall asleep, your mind is actively perceiving, creating stories, and trying to make sense of what it perceives. This is what the Toltecs refer to as the personal dream. the main function of the mind is to dream, or to perceive and to project information. The Personal Dream is the unique reality created by every individual; it’s their perspective, a manifestation of the relationship between mind and body, and intent is the energy that animates both.

This reminds us that our understanding of the world is filtered through our own perceptions, domestications, and experiences. This is part of the reason why the Toltecs do not have specific rules or doctrines that apply to everyone. While the journey of healing—the path of the Toltec Warrior—has been walked by many before you, there is only one person who can walk it in your life: You.

The ancient Toltecs were very interested in the power of perception, thus they studied the human mind. They noticed that the mind is constantly telling stories, or what they called dreaming. When a person you’ve never met walks into a room, your mind immediately forms all kinds of judgments and stories about him or her. This person is attractive/unattractive. This person seems nice/mean. This person appears to be having a good/bad day. Of course, the stories your mind spins will depend on your own past experiences and your domestications. And, of course, they depend on how the event relates to the story you have created about yourself—your identity. Some of these stories may be fairly benign. But others, like some we will look at later in this chapter, can be harmful. Yet you can’t just step outside your mind to get a clearer picture of reality. Your mind is the only tool of perception you have, and you can’t engage with the world around you without it. So when you begin a journey toward personal freedom, your first lesson is to recognize that your judgments and stories about reality are not always true, that you create them through the filter of your mind.

Awareness

When you recognize a story as a story, it begins to lose its power over you. This is important, because almost all your psychological fear is based in these stories. In the Toltec tradition, we call this healing process mastering awareness.

Warrior

One of the remarkable things about the ancient Toltecs is that they were focused on self-realization and awareness, not on war and domination over others. The Toltec Warrior is thus not a warrior in the sense of someone who is trained to kill, to defend, or to conquer in any military sense. Toltec Warriors focus on the spiritual war being waged within themselves. Their ultimate goal is to live from a place of universal love and acceptance rather than fear, greed, and hate. The image of the warrior reminds us that this path holds the promise of great reward. It is accessible to all, but it is not easy. The warrior’s path begins with the realization that we must go inward first, as no progress can be made without reflection on our innermost world: the mind itself. We must come to understand how the mind works. After all, we can’t understand anything, feel anything, believe anything, or make any spiritual progress without using our minds. The greater journey is the one you take within yourself.

~Beyond Fear: A Toltec Guide to Freedom and Joy: The Teachings of Don Miguel Ruiz-Read it!

Very limited summary of the above with a little of some other mixed in…..

This not a journey for the faint of heart. It asks you to examine your identity, your desires, and your domestications, and requires that you give up the “little self” that occupies so much of your everyday life. Your domestications are deeply ingrained.

"The experience that translates everything is within the mind."

Only you Control your World

Humans create the reality they perceive in their dreams. Whatever we perceive is a manifestation of our dream. This process of perception involves our emotions.

Our dreams are controlled by our beliefs. The images we recreate in our mind from reflected light are processed through our emotions and this activity develops our mind. Our mind is made from emotions, just as our body is made from atoms.

Control your mind, control your body.

Emotions are from the body, our 5 senses. But our mind makes the feelings and makes sense of the interactions, of these emotions. Which decides our intentions and actions. Reason is part of the perception. We can only control our response to the outside environment. (The input from our 5 senses of interactions with the outside world.) our real world is what we then perceive of this information.

Our world, our dream or movie is based on our feelings and our beliefs, our thoughts. Your likes and dislikes. Your goals. Our ego thought system is our standard process and is also part of our perception of all our interactions. Your beliefs that you were taught by parents, society, church, etc…. This is how your perception is shaped or should I say, pre-shaped.

Self control is strength.

Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn't shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don't allow others to control the direction of your life. Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.

With that being said, it is possible, and also, extremely necessary

We Are Light

Scienc-Based Proof, Wave-based Genetics

Gariaevs’ research finds that DNA is something of a liquid crystal, emanating wave quantum energy with far greater information out to the universe, and received from the universe…

Wave DNA is an Electromagnetic & acoustic hologram. DNA can be coded by words or language.

Our personal blueprint information is non-local and stored in the quantum field linked to our DNA. This information can be accessed and retrieved using special laser equipment. Once collected, it is converted and then contained within a Matrix sound file. http://www.fractal.org/Life-Science-Technology/Peter-Gariaev.htm By listening to our personal Matrix sound file made using a childhood photo, our current DNA expression aligns with the information linked to using the Matrix, and our body starts to express a more youthful and healthy state. This allows our body to bring our past health into the present.

https://www.wavegenetics.co.uk

To find your way in this world ask yourself 3 (or 4) questions……

1. WHO am I? You will know who you are when you see who you are not.

2. Who do I want to be? A person of Love & Integrity?

This where your personal owner's manual comes into play.

1. What is real? You know what is real when you accept what is not real.

2. What is love? You will know love when you realize what love is not.

Refuse to walk blindly in life. See what is true and not what you prefer to see.

Always check the integrity of your actions. Is this response fair? Am I being respectful? Would I want to be treated this way? Respect makes it possible to see the other person’s opinion. It makes it possible to see the truth of their movie or dream. Self-respect and respect for others.

You are the one in charge of your thoughts and your movie. You are the commander in chief, the president of you. Are you a tyrant? Selfish? Me, Me, Me? Always the victim? Our power is our intent, our spirit. We are connected with everything and we affect everything through our intent.

ENERGY

The mind is alive, that every emotion is a living being able to live inside and outside our mind, that we create emotions and send them to others telepathically-are the ingredients for a far more expansive philosophical basis for life. One mind-boggling Toltec concept is that we can transfer our consciousness from our reason to our will. We can control this ethereal energy. We can control our dreams and have a beneficial effect on everyone else's dreams. Each of these thoughts can have far-ranging consequences in the minds of humans.

In the process of perception, we always have an emotional element. The brain creates the emotion and the emotion is a state of energy. Emotion no longer matters. It is a form of energy. Material energy is that which is detectable and provable by scientific methods. Ethereal energy can, not be proved within the limits of mainstream science. We cannot prove that hate or love exists, but we experience their effect. Emotional energy is ethereal energy.

What is the spirit? I call it Intent, love, spirit, God ... these are names for the same energy. A property of this energy is that it makes possible any change, any transformation. God is intent. God is spirit. God is light. God is the real you. God is the real me. Energy or light is the first manifestation of intent, or the first manifestation of God, or the spirit. Everything is alive because of God, because of you. You are not your body. You are not your cells. You are not your mind. You are not your soul. You are light. You are life.

The human mind is a living being, but it is a different kind of being than a body. The body, made from material energy, is a biological machine. We must have self-love of our body too. Treat it with love and respect.

The mind is a biological machine that is made from ethereal energy. Ethereal is another name for the energy we experience, but we cannot prove it exists. The body's existence can be proved. We know we have a mind, emotions, reason, and intellect because we perceive them. We have named them. Our mind is made by our emotions. Everything the mind perceives has an emotional component. When light of varying frequencies strikes material objects, it is reflected into our eye. The brain translates these light images of material energy into matter, and what the mind creates we perceive as reality. This reality is a dream. We dream twenty-four hours a day, whether our brain is awake or asleep. The brain can change energy in both directions. It can transform material energy into ethereal energy. Dreams, imagination and ideas are ethereal energy. When the brain converts ideas into words and writing, we make a manifestation in the material world of what is happening in our minds. The mind, our consciousness, creates imagination, and the imagination dreams.

This process of perception involves our emotions. The images we recreate in our mind from reflected light are processed through our emotions and this activity develops our mind. Our mind or consciousness is made from emotions, just as our body is made from atoms.

Everything is created from energy, from light, including ourselves. We are light. The dream is light. The dreamer is light. The soul is light. Energy is light. All action and reaction begins in the spirit. Spirit is that property of energy that makes any transformation possible. Spirit is the pure consciousness that creates everything. It is light by itself. It is eternal. It cannot be destroyed. Therefore, if we are light and light is eternal, death does not exist. Death is a state of illusion and it only exists in a dream. We find now that the creation of the universe is nothing but a dream, a dream of intent, a dream of spirit, a dream of God. Energy is alive. Everything that exists is alive. Ethereal energy is also a living being. Ethereal energy includes our emotions. Our emotions are alive. Our thinking is alive. All of our feelings are alive, and they are us. Our mind is creating billions of emotions.

Our minds exist in the ethereal dimension of thought and feelings. In the same way that all of our emotions together create an individual mind, all minds together create the mind of Planet Earth, and that mind is dreaming, too. This collective dream is composed of all the individual dreams each of us is dreaming. Everything we experience has an emotional component. We react emotionally, for example, to beauty. The emotional body has only one purpose and that is to feel. The intellect makes an interpretation of what we feel and attempts to justify our emotional reactions.

You can change your inner movie because you are the director, writer, and actor, and you have all the power to change the story you are living. ~4 Agreements

Process

The first tool is the power of attention.

Our attention is what makes it possible to take notice and to learn.

Attention brings every other faculty into play—we look, we listen, we respond. We receive information, and we process it. And, by catching another person’s attention, we learn to transmit information to someone else and out to the world.

Over time, however, we’ve mastered the art of sleepwalking through life. We don’t think we need to pay attention, because we’re sure we know what’s going on around us. Our thinking is automatic, and we automatically assume we know what other people are thinking. It’s safe to say that our attention has been weakened by neglect. What if we rediscovered its amazing power? We’d have minds that are agile and flexible when events change—and change is inevitable. From our preinstalled beliefs and ego thought system.

The second tool is memory.

Memory is stored in matter (our brains) the way music is stored on a compact disc. We're able to store all the memories of a lifetime in one brain, but that doesn't make those memories real. We store impressions of things, people, and events—but since every brain perceives in its own way, even siblings remember childhood events differently.

Memory helps to create an impression of reality, but impressions aren't the same as truth. We rely too much on memory to tell us the truth. We let it turn our attention away from the present moment and draw us into the past. We frequently use memory against ourselves, but we have the power to use it differently.

Instead, we can let memory enlighten us.

Just as memory plays a key role in our early development, it can guide us in our adult transformation. In infancy we watched our parents; we listened, and we imitated. Everything we observed became part of our pattern of behavior. We tried to walk, we fell, and we tried again. We learned to avoid pain and move toward pleasure. And what about now, when we wish to change some unpleasant patterns? Why wouldn't we do everything we can to take care of our physical body and our emotional well-being? We know how it feels to lose our temper and feel regret. It feels awful. We know how shame and guilt make us feel, and yet we still invite them in.

Memory can serve us in our efforts to wake up and resist automatic responses. Memory can steer us away from abusive habits, encouraging us to stand up and walk forward with self-respect.

The third and best tool is imagination.

Imagination is its kind of superpower. We picture something in our minds, and then we make it real. Just by imagining something wonderful, the body feels comforted and energized. We can also imagine painful events and horrible consequences. By imagining the worst, we produce fear in the physical body and spread fear to other bodies. We imagine the future and tune out the present.

Imagination is power, for sure; but like all power, it can be corrupted.

Right now, we can practice using imagination in a valuable way.

• We can turn our attention to the exciting task of making ourselves more aware.

• We can use memory the way it was intended to be used—to keep us from repeating past mistakes.

• We can imagine things we've never tried to imagine.

• We can doubt what we know and let go of familiar stories.

The mind wields enormous influence. It has developed habits over time, but we can change those habits. By using the tools available to us, we can calm the inner chaos and find peace in our virtual world.

You're not who you think you are. In obvious ways, you're not the kid you were at four years old, struggling with unspoken fears. You're not the awkward teen, the rookie at work, or the young entrepreneur. You're not someone's significant other or your mom's favorite child. You're not the main character of your story or anyone else's, regardless of how long you've played those roles. And you're not the one you call me, who tries to speak for your physical body. You're not your mind or the set of laws your mind tries so hard to enforce. It has created an entire governing force out of those laws, but that's not what you are either.

You're not the little government in your head, but its influence laws nonetheless influence your actions and reactions.

Sometimes that government seems tolerant; sometimes it's blind and unforgiving. Either way, I am operating as its commander-in-chief. Now would be a good time to decide what kind of leader I should be. Now is a good time to take a look at your creation and to make inspired changes.

We were all born to learn, to grow, and to become aware human beings. We intended to be the best we could be. Somewhere along the way, we got distracted. Our intentions were derailed. We forgot what it felt like to be authentic. It may seem impossible to escape from our system of punishments and rewards, but that's not true. We can bring down the whole structure if we want to.

It's interesting to see how each of us creates a personal reality. It's also interesting to see just how far we go to defend that reality. Rather than defend it, we can make it better. It takes a few basic insights to pull off a revolution. First, it's important to see how the system was put into place. It's helpful to see how we got here, wherever we are, and what we can do to change ourselves.

The Owners Manual

Congress makes laws and ratifies treaties, and so does the human mind. The mind creates strict laws—not just those handed down by family and society, but its laws. These laws-whether consciously or unconsciously govern how we live.

We can make new laws or alter old laws.

They're the self-reprimands and resolutions that guide our behavior. They also include our prejudices and phobias. You abide by the laws of your mind, and your mind expects others to abide by its laws as well.

You get along better with people who respect your laws and accept your views. Take a moment to consider how much importance you give to your rules and principles. It doesn't matter if they echo the principles of your parents or grandparents, because they're yours now. You may be able to state them clearly, and you may find fault with people who don't agree with those principles. You may even try to convince family members and friends to follow You think you aren’t being respected, so you become disrespectful. All of this inhibits your natural inclination to love and be generous. Your congress has overruled your authenticity, which means your government has defeated its true purpose.

We lose our sense of fairness and empathy when our laws take on too much importance. It's nice to have a code of behavior to live by, but that code should not hurt our relationships.

We may not recognize ideas as principles, but the character called me still uses them to legislate and prosecute. It uses them to scold other people and to quarrel with itself. Understanding our actions and reactions makes a change in our internal government possible.

Think about the ideas that define you—ideas that tell the world who you are. You're an activist or a volunteer. You're a workaholic. You're a liberal or a conservative. You're loyal to a fault. You're God-fearing and patriotic. These may seem like admirable ways to describe yourself, but have they made your life easier? How much time do you spend explaining and defending your position? Do you criticize people who describe themselves differently? Do you "lay down the law" to your family and friends, expecting them to be as fanatical as you are? You may still want to start a war or just win a few battles. Either way, opinions aren't where your power lies. They're just opinions.

Think about your beliefs. Are they more important than the truth of you? Are they more precious than love?

• To respect someone's right to an opinion is an act of love.

It's a gift to others to let them share their views. It's not so difficult to listen without judgment. It's not that weird to say, "I don't know," and disarm the moment. Let others know they have a valid point. We don't always have to be right. We don't ever have to be me.

Despite what many of us were told, no one has to earn respect. Everyone is different, but every human body is a copy of life itself. Every creature gives proof to the dance of energy and matter that's reason enough to show respect. Respect makes it possible to see beyond someone's opinions and customs. It makes it possible to see the truth, and truth frees us from our deceptions.

When the mind is reacting automatically form our ego, we make errors in judgment. We pay a high price for our assumptions, causing unnecessary suffering. If we refuse to see things as they are, we can get disappointed. We blame, and we carry grudges. We show contempt for ourselves and others. How does any of this make us better human beings? How does this make us feel safer or more at peace with ourselves?

Respect is the solution to injustice.

We can make a corrupt system impeccable again.

• We can respect ourselves for no reason and every reason. We can become our champion and best friend, refusing to suffer whatever the circumstance.

Why does any human suffer? The problem is almost always leadership. Reliable leaders take care of their country's body. Aware leaders will not believe the lies they tell themselves. Effective leaders don't submit to fear.

The mind leads because we allow it to lead. We believe in the character it created and allow it to speak on our behalf. We believe its opinions and its recollections, but I does not represent the truth.

The mind cannot duplicate the truth. Truth is pure energy.

Becoming aware of ourselves as energy, or truth, is an important revelation. The mind will continue to talk, sounding for all the world like a knowledgeable friend, but we don't have to believe it. We can rise above the voice of me at any time.

Me is the point of view of life's reflection. It is an artificial intelligence. Life's information is filtered through all the thoughts and characteristics we've given ourselves. The main character has its own intelligence, but every me is different, depending on the development of the brain and circumstances that affect the physical body. Each of us identifies with that character, so we find it difficult to separate me from reality. You are the one in charge, the commander in chief…

Your mind has learned to operate like a government composed of three branches. It has a congress that makes up laws. A judicial branch enforces those laws through a system of rewards and punishments similar to the methods your family and community used to domesticate you. You are also the executive branch, and the "president" in charge of making decisions.

First, let's understand that the leader of your own nation is not real. The one who rules your little government is something out of your imagination but has the power to affect your world.

So what kind of leader do you want to be? Remember, you can't give what you don't have. If you want to be more compassionate, you must treat yourself with compassion. If you want to represent the truth to others, stop lying to yourself. If you want to love someone in the truest sense, love yourself without conditions.

As with any government, the mind needs to make decisions that serve the body. The mind's addictions become the body's addictions, and so we should all stop making excuses to suffer.

Whether the physical body is healthy or sick, it needs a trustworthy caretaker. It can't flourish when it's being pushed beyond reason. It needs comfort, not criticism.

If me is the problem, I am also the solution. Your country already has a leader who wants to be wise and compassionate. If you're asking life's deeper questions, you may already be a president who's prepared to put the welfare of the country first.

You have a legislature that wants to revise its laws and a justice system that respects all individuals. You can sense what is real and what is not. You're ready to take the next step.

The devil is the laziness that resides in each of us. The problem is the Ego.

Your self-importance and to what degree in which it rules you. You have within yourself the power, every second, to transform your experience. That is where the magic is.

The key to magic is self-awareness. You are the magician.

First, you become aware. Then you shift your point of view.

1. Mastery of Awareness. Through this mastery, one becomes aware that humans are dreaming all the time, day and night. They are creating the dream of hell. The way out of the nightmare is to know where you are, what you are, and what kind of freedom you see

Because it is a map, you have to begin at the point where you are.

Your first task is to become aware of what you are, and this is a mystery.

I am aware that everything, including myself, is energy in motion.

Toltecs discovered the Mastery of Awareness when they became aware that this plane of life was a dream. They learned to observe the dream of the planet without any emotion and they recovered clarity of mind. Awareness and clarity lead to change. Change is possible if you make use of the Toltec masteries. See everything the way it is, then you have a chance. Awareness gives you an opening.

Ask yourself, "How open is my belief system?" If your beliefs are held rigidly, you may feel afraid when you question or interpret your actions and intentions. Understand why you think you suffer. We don't realize we have a choice, but we DO have a choice. We begin by noticing that we suffer for the little things we feel belong to us, that we need to control and defend. We can watch ourselves as we overreact to injustice. We can see ourselves in our need to have revenge and we realize there is no end to getting even. We fill our lives with expectations and obligations. We have no eyes for real justice. Each person feels he or she is always right and everybody else is wrong. We believe our opinion is the most important. We must see, not with our physical sight but with the invisible energy of God's energy of love.

Become aware.

To be the master of awareness we develop the awareness that we are multidimensional beings. This awareness is the prime requirement for becoming a Toltec Warrior.

I must consider the relationship of my intent in my relationships. We have emotions, so we can understand emotions. We do not perceive them with our eyes.

Emotions are the key

Your emotions are ways that you know yourself. You know how you feel, and you consequently understand yourself based on those responses. And you have partially created your identity in your response to those feelings. “I feel really good when I do this, so I’m gonna do it some more” is actually a healthy response. So we are saying that your feelings are your allies.

However, love is not a feeling. Love can be felt, but it is not a feeling. Love is a frequency. This kind of perception is closer to the intuitive and shamanic than it is to the analytical process of our reason. We are connected with everything and we affect everything through our intent.

Our intent is a different part of our mind than our reason.

1. You can dissolve your defense systems by noticing when you feel a resistance and by immediately letting go of it. If you feel uncomfortable, embrace it. That is the way home. Feel what you are feeling. Honor yourself there. See the consequences of your actions and choose from the highest place of awareness.

2. Love yourself. Lose your feeling that you are living for others' approval. Put the love of yourself in first place and honor it always. In those tender, vulnerable places within your being there is a voice. It needs to express itself. It needs to be honored.

If you are in a conversation and you feel you are resisting someone else's words, say to yourself, "I don't need to do this." This is a mastery in and of itself. I am talking about being present in the moment with yourself. If you are aware, you can make the choice not to resist by saying, "Right now, I choose not to react. I am a loving being of pure light and anything other than that is simply a reflection of an illusion."

I’M SLOWLY LEARNING THAT I DON’T HAVE TO REACT TO EVERYTHING THAT BOTHERS ME.

I’m slowly learning that the energy it takes to react to every bad thing that happens to you drains you and stops you from seeing the other good things in life.

I’m slowly learning that I’m not going to be everyone’s cup of tea and I won’t be able to get everyone to treat me the way I want to be treated and that’s okay.

I’m slowly learning that trying so hard to ‘win’ anyone is just a waste of time and energy and it fills you with nothing but emptiness.

I’m slowly learning that not reacting doesn’t mean I’m okay with things, it just means I’m choosing to rise above it.

I’m choosing to take the lesson it has served and learn from it.

I’m choosing to be the bigger person.

I’m choosing my peace of mind because that’s what I truly need.

I don’t need more drama.

I don’t need people making me feel like I’m not good enough.

I don’t need fights and arguments and fake connections.

I’m slowly learning that sometimes not saying anything at all says everything.

I’m slowly learning that reacting to things that upset you gives someone else power over your emotions.

You can’t control what others do, but you can control how you respond, how you handle it, how you perceive it and how much of it you want to take personally.

I’m slowly learning that most of the time, these situations say nothing about you and a lot about the other person.

I’m slowly learning that maybe all these disappointments are just there to teach us how to love ourselves because that will be the armor and the shield we need against the people who try to bring us down.

They will save us when people try to shake our confidence or when they try to make us feel like we’re worthless.

I’m slowly learning that even if I react, it won’t change anything, it won’t make people suddenly love and respect me, it won’t magically change their minds.

Sometimes it’s better to just let things be, let people go, don’t fight for closure, don’t ask for explanations, don’t chase answers and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from.

I’m slowly learning that life is better lived when you don’t center it on what’s happening around you and center it on what’s happening inside you instead.

Work on yourself and your inner peace and you’ll come to realize that not reacting to every little thing that bothers you is the first ingredient to living a happy and healthy life.

Respect

We are aware of each of our dreams. Each of us is the star of our movie.

We must respect their dream, we don’t have to agree or even like them but we must respect their opinion, as they are the star, the director, and the producer of their movie or dream.

Stop thinking. Start feeling

Try this experiment, next decision you face, notice:

• Where you feel it in your body

• What happens when you override it

• Your first gut instinct (before thinking)

You can't think your way out of ancient programming. But you can work WITH it.

These "archetypes" run in the background like apps:

• The Hero program (must achieve)

• The Rebel program (must oppose)

• The Caregiver program (must help)

Change happens when you update the software, not when you pretend it doesn't exist.

Every behavior, even destructive ones, serves a purpose.

Find the purpose, redirect the energy. Change becomes effortless.

Your unconscious has been sending you messages:

• Through your dreams

• Through your triggers

• Through what you judge in others

• Through your physical symptoms

You've just been taught to ignore them.

Real change requires discomfort—meeting your shadow, dropping your mask, and integrating your whole self.

It's not harder than staying stuck. It just feels scarier because it's unfamiliar.

Attention

Because we are multidimensional living beings, we can perceive thousands of things at the same time. Yet, one of the magical parts of being human is that we can discriminate. We can screen out all the perceptions we do not choose to notice and focus on the perception that we want to study. This power to choose one perception among millions of possible stimuli and to focus upon it is what we call "attention."

Attention allows us to focus our perception on what we want to learn. To learn to walk, ride a bicycle, or play the piano, we must, in the beginning, focus our attention and repeatedly practice until the action becomes automatic. Then the knowledge of the action becomes part of us. We use attention to learn everything that we know and everything that we believe.

We use attention for the first time to create our reality, to create our dream. The result of our using the first attention, or the attention for the first time, is the creation of this nightmare that we call hell. The tool that we can use to transform the dream is the same tool that we used to create this dream in the first place-our attention.

2nd Attention

When we review all that we know and think to be true to decide whether or not we believe it, we are using attention for the second time in the process we call the inventory. Using our attention for the second time changes the dream. Exercising our second attention removes limitations that formerly bound us and it expands our consciousness. Eventually, we will discover that we are dreaming a new dream, a dream of life where everything is possible, a dream that buoys our self-confidence, hopes, and expectations. The new dream we call heaven on earth. Through our second attention, our dreams can carry us wherever and whenever we want to be. We become explorers. We are no longer dogmatic about anything. We have a wide view of the whole universe. What was not known becomes known, but something always remains unknowable, in the nagual of total spirit.

When we shift our point of view, we see that our body is matter which is energy that allows us to move. Another kind of energy is all around us that is also us, and this is the mind. The mind is energy but it is not matter. We think. We feel. We dream. But we cannot take a piece of a dream into the laboratory and prove that it exists. We cannot take love into the laboratory and say, "This is love." We do not prove that an emotion exists, but we know that love exists because we can feel it. It is not matter, but it is energy. It is energy because it exists. Everything that exists is energy. Energy cannot be destroyed. It can only be transformed. Energy has no beginning and no end.

Second attention gives us control over the dream and the awareness that we are a small part of God.

The Mastery of Awareness could also be called the Mastery of the Mind

However, it includes two points of view -not only the viewpoint of the mind but also the viewpoint held by the physical body. We must take care of our emotional bodies as we learn to take control of our minds.

We are what we believe we are, but our position in the dream changes as our awareness changes. We become aware of how we dream and of our position in it. Once we are aware that everything is a dream, we discover we can change our dreams.

Like any physical parasite, the one in your mind feeds off its host. In this case, the parasite feeds on your past traumatic experiences, your domesticated fears, and the fears and negativity of others. Left unchecked, it eats away at your energy and power. Knowing that the (ego)parasite exists and feeds off negative energy and fear in your life can provide new insights for combating this fear and changing your relationship to it. By looking at how the parasite communicates with you and controls you, you can come to a better understanding of it.

The Judge and the Victim

The two voices, or manifestations, of the parasite, are what the Toltec tradition calls the judge and the victim. Most of us are familiar with the voice of our inner judge. This judge, a master of self-rejection, speaks in both big and little ways. For instance, if you make a simple mistake like forgetting an appointment you made with a friend, your inner judge may prompt you to feel guilt. I’m such an idiot. What’s the matter with me? How could I be so forgetful? These are small examples to which most of us don’t give much thought, but it’s important to note them as examples of the inner judge. The larger ways in which you judge yourself are often easier to spot, but can be harder to let go. That’s because they run so deep emotionally.

At this moment, you are alive. Your opportunity to change the dream is excellent. You have only to become aware that you are dreaming and so is everyone else around you. That single perception alters the way you interact with other people. You see that they are dreaming, but your dream has changed and it continues to change more and more as your awareness grows. We see that we are dreaming with our (conscious)minds, not with our bodies nor with our brains, and we sense that the mind will continue to dream beyond death. Death loses power when we accept that what dies is the dream, not the dreamer. We are what continues. Behind the dream lies the mind, and behind the (conscious)mind lies energy.

All energy has awareness, perception, and memory. We can perceive energy without ears or eyes. All energy is alive.

We are not the brain. We are not the heart.

• We are what makes our hearts beat. We are light. We are life.

Life uses all these instruments to perceive, transform, express, live, and die. We are eternal. We are light.

You accomplish miracles by practicing a little at a time until your power is strong enough to control all your agreements.

1. The Mastery of Awareness is so extensive that it demands a commitment of time and practice to remember the silent knowledge we each have within us. The call is to recollect all of the knowledge and to be what we really are so that we can use our inner power. We aspire to become One with God.

2. In the second Mastery of Transformation, we learn to be the stalker. This is how to recover what we are. In this mastery, we learn to clean the mind, to stop suffering, to become warriors, to become masters, to become free, to become one with love.

For those that want to go further…..

3. The third Mastery of Intent is the result when we are no longer the body and no longer the mind. We are no longer the soul. We are just love because love includes everything. Love is the real name of God. Love is everywhere. Everything is made of love.

The mind is made by emotions, we dream twenty-four hours a day, that we have a Judge and a Victim (the ego)within us as a result of our domestication (and we are domesticated animals), that the mind is alive, and that every emotion is a living being able to live inside and outside our mind, that we create emotions and send them to others telepathically-are the ingredients for a far more expansive philosophical basis for life.

One mind-boggling Toltec concept is that we can transfer our consciousness from our reason to our will. This shift is the source of our potential power to completely transform the planet and to become God. We can control ethereal energy. We can control our own dream and have a beneficial effect on everyone else's dreams. Each of these thoughts can have far-ranging consequences in the mind of humans. From acceptance of Toltec silent knowledge, the individual has access to a form of magic that is innately human, but this magic is rarely presented through orthodox channels.

The human mind is a living being, but it is a different kind of being than a body. The body, made from material energy, is a biological machine.

The mind is a biological machine that is made from ethereal energy.

Ethereal is another name for the energy we experience, but we cannot prove it exists. The body's existence can be proved. We know we have a mind, emotions, reason, and intellect because we perceive them. We have named them. Our mind is made by our emotions. Everything the mind perceives has an emotional component. When light of varying frequencies strikes material objects, it is reflected into our eye. The brain translates these light images of material energy into matter, and what the mind creates we perceive as reality.

Actually, this reality is a dream. We dream twenty-four hours a day, whether our brain is awake or asleep. The brain can change energy in both directions. It has the capacity to transform material energy into ethereal energy. We create ideas and ideas are ethereal energy. When the brain converts ideas into words and writing, we make a manifestation in the material world of what is happening in our mind. The mind creates imagination and the imagination dreams. The way we dream leads us into suffering and emotional pain.

The Parasite lives within the mind and it is ruled by the reason.

After you have begun to understand the anatomy of the (ego)Parasite, there are ways that you can assist your progress into the realm of magic, or the path of transcendence. Moment by moment, rather than at a separate time during which you are practicing stalking, you can live consciously and remember these two concepts:

1. You can dissolve your defense systems by noticing when you feel a resistance and by immediately letting go of it. If you feel an uncomfortableness, embrace it. That is the way home. Feel what you are feeling. Honor yourself there. See the consequences of your actions and choose from the highest place of awareness.

2. Love yourself. Lose your feeling that you are living for others' approval. Put the love of yourself in first place and honor it always. In those tender, vulnerable places within your being there is a voice. It needs to express itself. It needs to be honored. Resistance feeds the Parasite. If you are in a conversation and you feel you are resisting someone else's words, say to yourself, "I don't need to do this." This is a mastery in and of itself. I am talking about being present in the moment with yourself. If you are aware, you can make the choice not to resist by saying, "Right now, I choose not to react. I am a loving being of pure light and anything other than that is simply a reflection of an illusion." Just doing that changes your vibration from the survival level to the fourth chakra. It is magic.

You have within yourself the power, every second, to transform your experience. That is where the magic is. Transform the ego hate and selfishness into gods love.

The key to magic is self-awareness. You are the magician. First, you become aware. Then you shift your point of view. We spend so much energy trying to be in control. Think about it. We are bubbles of perception, living on the earth, the core of which is molten lava spinning in space. Yet, we carry the illusion that we can be in control. The only thing we can control is our reaction to life and how we choose to experience the journey. When we stop trying to control everything-which is an illusion anyway-we can be a bubble floating on the river, around the rocks, in perfect harmony. Life becomes so beautiful.

After you become aware of the Ego Thought System - we can start to implement the ↓4 Agreements.

So, What are the 4 Agreements?

TOLTEC POWER TOOLS

Understanding the ego & the ego thought system makes it easier to implement and practice the tools of the 4 Agreements in real-world situations. These books and companion lessons, assist a person to learn excellent communication concepts, emotional self-control, plus an improved code of conduct based on….. love, respect, self-respect & self-love.

Control your inner world, it’s the only thing in life you can control.

Agreements #2, #3, and #4 are to make sure you keep #1

1. Be Impeccable with your Word… Develop Self-Control of your Words and actions. (As my mom always said: If you ain’t got nothing good to say don’t say anything) “I am responsible for what I say, but I am not responsible for what you hear.” I am responsible to the tips of my fingers and no further, and how someone reacts to what I say or do is out of my control.

2. Take Nothing Personal… When somebody talks about you, they are talking about a secondary character in their story who represents you; they are talking about an image they create for you. That image has nothing to do with you; it’s just a projection of that person’s story. If you take it personally, if you agree and believe what others say, their story becomes a part of your story. If you don’t take it personally, the opinions of others do not affect you, and this helps you to avoid a lot of suffering and conflict. Once you understand that the opinions, beliefs, and points of view other people use to see the world have nothing to do with you, then you no longer take anything personally. This awareness makes you immune to what other people think about you, and what’s more important, it makes you immune to what you think about yourself. It’s their Ego talking… Stop being offended. (Let go of your pride & reputation.) When you truly understand this, you will not need to blame or attack nor defend yourself.

3. DON’T ASSUME… Clarify, and ask questions if possible. It’s not always about you. We listen to the voices talking in our heads. One assumption leads to another assumption. We jump to conclusions, take our story personally, and react by sending emotional poison with our word. If appropriate don’t say anything. “Making assumptions is just looking for trouble because most assumptions are not the truth; they’re fiction. Most of our assumptions are made unconsciously because we have agreed to communicate this way. We have agreed that it is not safe to ask questions. If we just ask questions, we won’t have to make assumptions. It’s always better to ask and be clear. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life. Respond or not, but don't React. Let go of your Ego – Let go of your need to be superior, to have more, to win, or to be right. Pride impedes growth.

4. Always try your best… and keep trying again, again and again. (humans aren’t perfect) (practice gratitude) You will fail often. Keep at it……

5. [the 5th agreement] The power of doubt, Be skeptical. Don’t believe them, Don’t believe me, #1. Don’t believe in yourself. Learn to truly listen to and respect their story. Listen for the real message or intention behind their words. To control you? To persuade you to their opinion? What is the motive behind the narrative? Is it biased, self-serving, or based on love or goodness? Their story is true for them, and whether you may or may not relate to their dream, we realize we EACH live in our little world of Ego self-perceptions/biased interpretations. When you learn to listen, you show respect for the other artists — you show respect for their art, for their creation. We are all one of God.

You can not change others by combating their ignorance.

That actually will make the situation worse because it goads the ego into the main thing the ego does. Self-protection/defending its selfish or biased words or actions of the Ego….

• #6. ‘Don’t take yourself so dam seriously.’

• #7. There are always 2 sides to every coin…Be open & flexible, not rigid, rigid breaks. You might learn something.

• #8. BALANCE: Do everything in balance, extremes are just that, extreme.

To improve emotional self-control & communication skills

• Awareness of your emotional trigger, once you know your trigger

• Pause, don’t say anything while at the same time… Implement the heart connection and inner smile tools to stay calm and gather yourself. Proper breathing can stimulate the vagus nerve to tell your body to relax through the release of acetylcholine, prolactin, vasopressin, and oxytocin. And/or Letting Go technique…. letting go of the feeling. Focus on the feeling itself, not on the thoughts. Thoughts are endless and self-reinforcing, and they only breed more thoughts

• Not reacting, you automatically apply the rest of the 4 Agreements…….by not taking anything personally-not making assumptions-clarify by asking questions.

This is how & where you implement the 4 Agreements by your conscious awareness and actions of repetition over and over by using the tools of the 4 Agreements.

This then will imprint the new belief into the subconscious where it will eventually become automatic….. Making it a habit, an improved habit….

Reprogramming the Software (or subconscious) to become a habit

Paying attention, willingness, willpower, discipline, and patience

• Controlling emotions alone isn’t easy. That’s why understanding the ego as a thought system and as explained by the Toltecs gives you insight into the knowledge and the tools to use. Once you realize what and how the ego operates, should give you the incentive to use these communication tools. Also, the incentive to not react but to respond and look for other solutions with your improved emotional control. These are the tools for transforming your dream, for mastering your dream, and it’s up to you what you do with these tools.

• Normally the Ego controls people, this is a lesson and exercise on how to put you in charge and lets you get back in control

Staying centered and calm in conflicts. Sit back and observe your thoughts say and do nothing.

A key step is to harmonize your heart brain with your mind brain…

Heart Lock-In® Technique - website

Step 1. Focus your attention on the area of the heart. Imagine your breath is flowing in and out of your heart or chest area, breathing a little slower and deeper than usual.

Step 2. Activate and sustain a regenerative feeling such as appreciation, care, or compassion.

Step 3. Radiate that renewing feeling to yourself and others.

Accessing intuition takes managing emotional energy and learning to pay more attention to your heart’s promptings. Otherwise, the mind and emotions tend to override the heart’s often subtle promptings. As we learn to attune to our heart feelings, our natural intuitive connection can develop and grow. One of the biggest benefits of learning to follow my heart’s promptings has been the ability to bring my mental and emotional faculties into greater alignment with my true self.

Cleansing our emotional poison is a simple process. All it takes is the thought of love and our breath. We hold the wound in our mind briefly. Then we breathe deliberately while thinking of the word “love.” We can apply this cleansing routine to old wounds and new ones. When we clean a wound, it heals itself. We cannot clean a wound by sharing the poison with someone else. Such an action increases the poison.

Focus on your breath. Breathe in the love that is constantly in the air. Breathe in pure love. Breathe out pure love. Breathing is a direct connection with love. With your breath of love, cleanse each emotional memory as it arises.

Spot the emotional trigger: EMOTIONS R KEY

Tao Power Tools and other Tools

The senses are the gateway to your perception. How you sense, how you see, hear, feel, taste, and touch are the ways that you access information. In any event, conversation or interaction, the key is not to overreact. Let the energy pass, let it go, do nothing, just feel the build-up of energy and let it go by No saying or doing anything.

Following your emotions/feelings shows you how you are thinking. When you first start to feel an emotional reaction, feeling warm or hot, anger, frustration, etc… your key trigger(s)

Do the following (or any other mental or physical act) to keep you from saying or doing something stupid in the moment, to bring you back to the moment, to say, HEY, it’s their Ego talking, their dream has nothing to do with me.

1. Shift awareness into the heart, by physically touching your heart.

2. Then shift awareness and Slow your breathing, take slow big breaths. Concentrate on the breathing

3. At the same time, Smile Within. Feel the feeling of one of the following emotions - compassion, gratitude, joy, caring, love, joy, happiness… and smile into your heart and with your eyes…..

4. Don’t talk or react wait until you are not upset. Keeping emotions out of conversations is key. Let the negative energy pass…. Do nothing…

Add the “inner smile” exercise as a quick way to change your attitude or remind yourself not to say something stupid. At the same time tap your chest (heart) to assist in keeping calm…. Along with the deep breathing focus on your deep breathing until you gain control…(Thinking of a happy thought of importance to you.) With the thoughts of Love, Joy & Happiness.

Tao Inner Smile Tool

The Inner Smile is a good companion exercise to go with the Toltec Wisdom knowledge and above-heart math breathing and physically touching the heart technique

This is a summary of his smile within exercise (heart-brain connection)…..

He sounds like a quack, with his accent, but I did follow some of his teachings, like this one. The Tao/Dao is all the same theory just a different take or that word again - “perception”

“The Smile Within! Inner Smile is the single most effective and simple method I’ve found to build a feeling of Self-Love. It allows us to effortlessly hold the complexity of life within the simplicity of our smiling inner heart” ~Winn. https://s3.amazonaws.com/htmedia/pdf/innersmile.pdf

The “seed” being planted with the Inner Smile is a spiritual quality arising from the deepest level of the human heart.

The Daoist notion of the ordinary heart, the “heart-mind” (xin, pronounced “shin”) is the source of the outer smile. This heart-mind governs the personality.

Taoists’ technique of Inner Smile connects us to the earth force which in turn draws heavenly force down.
We “download” unconditional love from the universe with a simple smile. We nourish our positive emotions, residing in the five major organs; love in the heart, trust in the spleen, courage in the lungs, gentleness in the kidneys, and kindness in the liver. As simple or as silly as it may seem, this technique is extremely powerful in healing not just our emotions but physical serious illnesses through the process of putting our body and mind in a constant self-created mini bliss. The inner smile activates the virtues through transformation of the negative emotions such as hatred, resentment, anger, and jealousy.

As a seeker, you will put these qualities together until they fuse into one, and then the head will speak through the heart and the heart will feel through the intellect.

Merging your intellectual brain and heart brain

1. We don’t argue

2. We don't get angry

3. We don’t defend

4. We don’t assume

5. We don’t attack

6. We don’t judge

• We are aware of our feelings & trigger points

  • We utilize the heart-mind connection tools, the 4 Agreements & associated skill sets, plus

• We realize how the Ego Thought System operates, thus

• We learn to respond in Love, not react from the Ego

By focusing your attention and following your integrity, you can measure your choices by your action-reaction.

• This choice comes from love; that choice comes from fear.

• This choice makes me happy; that choice makes me suffer.

Love, kindness, respect, open mind, strength, courage, forgiveness, gentleness, and awareness all add up to that greatest human quality, compassion.

Emotions & Transformation

Once we have the awareness that in our minds we are the slaves of the Judge and the Victim who dictates our emotions,(the ego) we can, through the Mastery of Transformation, challenge our whole belief system.

Our goal is to recover who we are, to be ourselves, and to allow our spirit to express itself in the outside dream. By choosing our actions and reactions in everything that we do, the Master of Transformation becomes a master of freedom, a master of surrender, and a master of love.

All human beings have the same information inside. It might be phrased with different words, but the knowledge is the same. The Mastery of Awareness is so extensive that it demands a commitment of time and practice to remember the silent knowledge we each have within us. The call is to recollect all of the knowledge and to be what we are so that we can use our inner power. We aspire to become One with God.

In the second Mastery of Transformation, we learn to be the stalker.

1. Mastery of Transformation. This is also known as Mastery of Stalking. Through this mastery, one gains control over one's emotions.

This is how to recover what we are. In this mastery, we learn to clean the mind, to stop suffering, to become warriors, to become masters, to become free, to become one with love.

As a stalker, you will design your dream. I am designing my life. It is a lot of work, but I love it every step of the way. I try to put myself in everything I do. When you are conscious of the power in your every action, you are transmitting love. However, it is still possible to feel a wound, and if this occurs another inventory may be needed to cleanse all wounds.

The hunter is a stalker. The word as it is used in the Toltec tradition comes from the vision of the jaguar. The jaguar is a land animal who is always alert, and always awake. It moves slowly to seize its prey. The jaguar sees accurately from close at hand. He lives in the present. The stalker also includes the vision of the eagle. The eagle flies in the air with an overview of the scene. It does not see in great detail, but it can move directly to its prey. The eagle is the dreamer. By being the eagle with a panoramic viewpoint, it is easier to become a Master of Awareness, a hunter whose prey is emotions. The eagle's viewpoint makes us quickly aware of our emotions, but they are harder to reach from such a distance.

The highest achievement of the stalker is to become impeccable. You become impeccable when you realize that all you do is an act of power for which you are responsible. You almost escape the dream by developing impeccability, but it is still necessary to discipline your emotions. To be impeccable, you must stop spreading poisonous emotions or accepting them from outside yourself.

The art of stalking is the art of free will, choices, and taking risks. It is the art of being alive, always in the present like the jaguar. Staying true to yourself. Your owners manual and love.

• The way to control the dream when we are awake is by making choices.

Throughout the universe, there is a process of action and reaction. The dream reacts to our choices.

Stalking & Emotional Self-Control

The warrior is a stalker. When you become the stalker, you become the hunter, which means the warrior is the hunter who hunts power. You will stalk each of your emotions and every word that comes from your mouth. Once you begin stalking, you will learn to live in absolute freedom

The art of stalking has to do with our control over our reactions. Everything we experience has an emotional component. We react emotionally, for example, to beauty. The emotional body has only one purpose and that is to feel. The intellect interprets what we feel and attempts to justify our emotional reactions. The intellect tries to repress the emotional body and to cover our wounds with lies to avoid pain. In this way, we develop our denial system. When we are awake, the art of stalking consists of always being alert to our thoughts, actions, and reactions. The novice begins by focusing inward. We always begin with ourselves. From this self-study, we can understand others who are doing the same thing we are doing based on their belief system. When we are asleep, the art of stalking gives us control over the dream of life. We can become dream masters. The stalker uses free will to make choices and does not rely upon emotions. By letting the Judge and the Victim decide things for us, we give up responsibility and we lose our free will. The stalker deliberately takes his or her choices back from the Judge and Victim. Life is always action. Action makes a difference in the world. The stalker can make a dream come true in material reality.

The dreamer cannot do that. The stalker has the power to change the outside dream within the limits of his position in that dream. The dreamer is unable to do this.

Stalking allows me to be aware of the energies in my body that are not helping me to be what I am. If I observe that I am feeling anxiety, I realize it is only because I am not in the moment. As soon as I bring my attention back to the moment, the anxiety is gone. Because I can observe what I'm feeling at any given time, I have the power to change it. If my power is great enough at that moment, I can pull myself out of it.

For the stalker to be effective, you have to be extremely relentless. Otherwise, there will always be an excuse to stay stuck.

Stalking becomes dreaming. Once we are aware, we realize we are always dreaming. When someone says, 'I am a dreamer and I don't know what stalking is,' I think, 'Well, you have to stalk or else you would not be connected to this dream.' You have to choose whether you are stalking in awareness or not. If there were a pure dreamer who did not stalk at all, the person would be floating all the time. The person would not have a clue what is going on, what his or her name is, what day it is. All actions that we take or the direction we turn our attention to, that is stalking... stalking the dream. At any given moment, there are an infinite number of things we can give our attention to. What we choose to put our attention to tells us what kind of stalker we are. I wanted to point out that stalking and dreaming work hand in hand though they seem contradictory. The stalker is that part who observes with awareness and detachment from the dream you are in. You are caught up in the dream but you are detached from it. The stalker can unhook itself from an emotion or the dream."

To awaken from the dream, one must become a stalker. Everyone, at a certain level, is a stalker. Stalking is the only way we make something come true. For most people, stalking is just a way of survival. For a warrior, stalking is a way to escape. For a master, stalking is an art. We need to become artists of stalking. If we are already warriors, we are using stalking to change our dream of the planet. This effort is an interior "war" between the old illusion of hell and the new dream of heaven on earth. We use stalking to create art and to create beauty, which are the qualities of heaven. The art of stalking is the result of years of training. You reach mastery the moment that you gain awareness that everything you do and everything you say is an act of power. As a corollary of this awareness, you then accept responsibility for everything you do and for everything you say. You will consciously direct that power to create the new dream of heaven on earth.

Stalking is an evaluation of your energy and an alignment of your spirit energy.

We begin by stalking our actions. Here, we must return to the theme of domestication. Domestication taught us how to dream and to adapt to the dream of the planet. It programmed our minds with a whole belief system. It provided us with our position in the dream, in our family, and in the community. Be honest with yourself. Continuous reviews of emotions and thoughts known only to you ferret out your fears and substitute love. As you distinguish emotion-laden memories in your mind, you will discover how many of your beliefs are reflections of other peoples' emotions. You are the stalker. A stalker has to take risks. “I use stalking to wage the battle between the Judge and the Victim. So, stalking allows me to be aware of the energies in my body that are not helping me to be what I am. If I observe that I am feeling anxiety, I realize it is only because I am not in the moment. As soon as I bring my attention back to the moment, the anxiety is gone. Because I can observe what I'm feeling at any given time, I have the power to change it.”Stalking is like a game in which you have nothing to lose. The dream reacts to our choices. The art of stalking has to do with our control over our reactions. We begin by stalking our actions.

The highest achievement of the stalker is to become impeccable. You become impeccable when you realize that all you do is an act of power for which you are responsible. You almost escape the dream by developing impeccability, but it is still necessary to discipline your emotions. In order to be impeccable, you must stop spreading poisonous emotions or accepting them from outside yourself.

Inventory

The major tool we use to develop Mastery of Transformation besides stalking is the inventory (which is also called the recapitulation).

I think of the inventory as an art of dreaming, and the art of the eagle. We use our memory to go into our past and recover it. Therefore, we would say that the inventory is about the past, whereas stalking is about the present.

The inventory review is part of the Mastery of Transformation which challenges our belief system. The inventory is a review of one's belief system (which we have already described as the Book of Hell) where we have stored everything that we know. In making this review, the warrior recapitulates everything he believes. Miguel's students are instructed to make frequent personal inventories.

When one knows who he is, one speaks the truth.

• One does not seek to defend one’s position.

• One honors the other before her and does not dishonor herself.

When you recognize that how you’ve lived your life thus far was exactly as you could with the tools that you had, with the learning that you were given, you can ask yourself, “How could I have done better?”

The inventory is that part of the Mastery of Transformation which challenges our belief system. The inventory is a review of one's belief system (which we have already described as the Book of Hell) where we have stored everything that we know. In making this review, the warrior recapitulates everything he believes

The purpose of the exercise is to recover one's free will. The inventory is your armament when you challenge your Parasite. The Parasite is a composite made of your beliefs, with the Judge and the Victim within your mind. Look at your dream of life. Be honest with yourself. Are you happy or not? Your inventory will be based on the concept of happiness. The closer you are to happiness, the closer you are to the dream of heaven on earth.

The inventory is your armament when you challenge your Parasite. The Parasite is a composite made of the Book of Hell, the Judge, and the Victim within your mind. Look at your personal dream of life. Be honest with yourself. Are you happy or not? Your inventory will be based on the concept of happiness. The closer you are to happiness, the closer you are to the dream of heaven on earth. Remember that your beliefs were given to you; you did not choose them. The beliefs that make you happy are worthy of being retained. The beliefs that cause you unhappiness can be reviewed and altered.

Your goal is to reprogram your beliefs to achieve freedom from fear. Free will is our right to make our own decisions. When we behave as a warrior, by using our free will, we have a second chance to choose what to believe.

The problem we face is that our old belief system penetrates our entire mind. When we make our first review of our belief system, we do not see any space for new beliefs, but we make space for new beliefs each time we transform an existent belief. The inventory is a very old practice from the Toltecs. It is a recapitulation of your whole life, of whatever has happened to you. It allows you to let go of all those beliefs that create the dream of hell. An inventory is not an examination of conscience. There is no Judge nor Victim. It is a review of feelings.

The Ego Thought System

Remember that your beliefs were given to you; you did not choose them. For several years after birth, the child is still free like a wild animal. It is not domesticated yet and therefore it has not accepted the dream that is passed to it by its family, religion, and culture.

As the child is domesticated, the development of its mind comes through emotions caused by punishment and reward. Gradually, the child learns all the rules of the system it inherits. It learns to behave in a certain way. It absorbs the dream of its society, but it does not choose the dream. Domesticated youths usually rebel against the dream imposed on them. They are no longer innocent. In the Westernized culture that dominates the earth, young people see violence everywhere. Violence is fashionable. Humans are domesticated animals.

Before we were born, the dream of the planet already existed, with all of its rules, beliefs, and hopes. In the dream, they are there waiting for the new humans to grow up and develop their minds to continue to control the dream.

A pure, normal human being would be still free, as he or she was in childhood before domestication, at the approximate age of one-and-a-half to three years of age. At that age, the child has developed enough mind to understand the abstract and to control language enough to communicate with other humans. However, the process of education has not yet taken place. This little human follows the normal tendency to play, explore, laugh, and enjoy life. Almost all the child's emotions come from love unless he is angry or in pain. This little human is free to be and he lives in the present. He does not worry about the past. He is not worried about the future.

Adults live constantly in the past and they are so worried in their effort to build their future that they avoid living in the present. For the adult, all the dramas of life are serious, but for the child, nothing is really that important.

The dream waits to teach the small child how to join the old dream of the planet. Our parents, older brothers and sisters, our teachers, the school, religion, society, and the media all contribute to keeping the dream of the planet alive through domestication.

For several years after birth, the child is still free like a wild animal. It is not domesticated yet and therefore it has not accepted the dream that is passed to it by its family, religion, and culture. As the child is domesticated, the development of its mind comes through emotions caused by punishment and reward. Gradually, the child learns all the rules of the system it inherits. It learns to behave in a certain way. It absorbs the dream of its society, but it does not choose the dream.

Domestication comes through reward and punishment. Mom and Dad domesticated us just the way they were domesticated. They introduced us to the concepts of good and bad, by rewarding the good and punishing the bad. It is not that it is wrong it’s just how we are taught and learned. We struggle to be worthy of it in the eyes of our parents, our teachers and friends, and society itself. Many times during the day as we grow up, we are subject to the judgment of others and to the polarities that our society supports, such as right and wrong, beautiful and ugly. Soon, we begin making our judgments.

Domestication has become so strong that we no longer need anyone to domesticate us because we take over the task of our domestication by punishing ourselves and occasionally by rewarding ourselves. Three components in our mind are actively engaged in our self-domestication.

1. The Judge is that part of our mind that judges what we do, and what we do not do, what we feel and do not feel, what we think and what we do not think, and it also judges everything and everyone.

2. The Victim receives the judgment and usually, the Judge finds the Victim guilty. The Victim needs to be punished. The Victim part of our mind feels unworthy and repeats over and over again, "I am not good enough, nor intelligent, nor strong, nor beautiful enough. I am a loser. Why should I try?"

3. The third part of the mind involved in the judgment process is the belief system we have been taught which includes all the rules on how to dream our life. The belief system is a kind of constitution or holy book where everything that we believe without discussion is our truth. I call this belief system the Book of Hell. The inner Judge bases all judgments on the belief system.

Once we recognize this, we see that there is no justice in our minds. If there were justice, we would pay for each of our mistakes once, but our Judge makes us pay a thousand times. We pay when we make a mistake when we remember the mistake, or when anyone reminds us of the mistake. Each time, the Judge finds our Victim guilty and punishes us again. This is the Ego thought system.

• The beliefs that make you happy are worthy of being retained.

• The beliefs that cause you unhappiness can be reviewed and altered.

Our goal is to reprogram our beliefs, our minds, or software, to achieve freedom from fear. To become aware or conscious of our actions in real-time. To change our programming so love becomes our unconscious automatic response, not fear-based, automatic, unconscious reactions. Not to react to the past learned habits. To create new improved habits, based on real love.

• To make every intention based on love, not fear. What is the spirit? I call it Intent. Intent, is love, spirit, life, God ... these are names for the same energy. A property of this energy is that it makes possible any change, any transformation. God is intent. God is spirit. We are a very small part of this energy. What is eternal is our consciousness, which is made of this energy.

• The goal is to minimize the ego to switch to God's Love Thought System

• First to be aware of the ego thought system

• To see it first in others

• Second, to see it in yourself

• Then the want and will to control the ego for your lifetime

• A never-ending fight against it. Taking great willpower.

A Never Ending War

The inner Judge bases all judgments on the belief system. Once we recognize this, we see that there is no justice in our own mind. If there were justice, we would pay for each of our mistakes once, but our Judge makes us pay a thousand times. We pay when we make a mistake when we remember the mistake, or when anyone reminds us of the mistake. Each time, the Judge finds our Victim guilty and punishes us again.

Our belief system comes to us from society during the period of domestication. We absorb it from our family, school, and religion. At no time does the small child have a choice of what to believe. Throughout the domestication process, the small child rebels, but he lacks the power to change anything. We rebel also as teenagers when we are searching for our identity. At this crucial time in our lives, we see how the belief system represses our normal human instincts and how adults manipulate young people. Depending upon how much resistance we meet during our teenage rebellion will affect our future self-esteem. We might find some support and become a success in life, or we might succumb to fear.

The Judge, the Victim, and the belief system or Book of Hell are together a Parasite in our mind. The Parasite is a living being made from ethereal energy. To survive, the Parasite feeds on emotions that are created by the human brain. These are emotions that come from fear, anger, sadness, depression, jealousy, and victimhood. The Parasite controls the dream. It creates a dream of fear, a nightmare, to control the brain which is the factory of emotions. The Parasite controls the production of those human emotions which are necessary for its survival. At the same time, the brain stops producing the emotions it needs for the growth of the soul, which are the emotions that come from love. The Parasite functions in a similar way to a virus that attacks a cell. The virus controls the reproduction of the cell so that it cannot produce the properties it needs for the cell's growth. Instead, it produces what the virus needs for its growth. The virus lives at the expense of the cell, and it damages the cell little by little until it is destroyed. We see all around us that human beings are engaged in self-destructive behavior. This is the outward sign of the self-destructive mind controlled by the Parasite.

The Toltecs were aware of the Parasite's existence and they knew that humans have only two choices regarding this invasive force.

One choice is to surrender to the Parasite, but the other choice is similar to that made by the little child and the teenager-rebel, declare war against the Parasite and declare the freedom to be oneself, to have one's own dream, to use one's own mind, to create the emotions that feed the real person we are. The Toltecs, of course, chose to rebel. That is why they are called warriors. This is the real meaning of a warrior. A warrior is a human who has the awareness of the Parasite in his or her mind and declares war on the Parasite for the purpose of self-healing. The importance of the war is not to win or to lose, but to try. It becomes the purpose of life to replace chaos with order. This is the Way of the Warrior.

The Warrior

Free will is our right to make our own decisions.

When we behave as a warrior, by using our free will, we have a second chance to choose what to believe. The problem we face is that our old belief system penetrates our entire mind. When we make our first review of our belief system, we do not see any space for new beliefs, but we make space for new beliefs each time we transform an existing belief. When we review the past, it is important to remember that the Judge and the Victim are unwelcome at the inventory. We must see the inventory with the eyes of love. If we review our lives without love, we will reopen old wounds and create more emotional poison, and we will justify the pain we carry in our whole lives.

The inventory is a meditation exercise. An inventory is not an examination of conscience. There is no Judge nor Victim. It is a review of feelings.

Daily do a review of your actions and intentions. Is our beliefs or old outdated beliefs, based on the selfish ego?

“We do not need to protect ourselves from anyone. We only need to protect ourselves from ourselves. If something affects us, it probably stirs our sense of personal importance. We become vulnerable when our ego is stirred. A feeling of insult or upset is a signal that our importance is still active and needs cleansing. If you watch your thoughts and your desires every day, and then, when you go to bed, you say a prayer, it strengthens your control when you enter your dream state. One of Miguel's students speaks of the restraint the habitual inventory has on your inner nature. "You realize immediately, oh, now I'm going to have to recapitulate all this stuff. If I have a conversation with someone and I see there is no need to have the conversation except to express my self-importance, I start to become very economical with my energies."

The stalker must be a Master of Awareness.

A stalker is fearless. A stalker knows what he wants and goes for it. Before acting, in the middle of acting, or after acting, the stalker tunes into their intuition and listens. Then, the stalker will let nothing get in its way. Being a stalker is just being aware and observing my actions at every moment of my life. It is being conscious of what masks I wear and when and how I wear them. Again, it's tuning in to my intuition and trusting the proper way to be when I am challenged.

The stalker uses free will to make choices and does not rely upon emotions. By letting the Judge and the Victim decide things for us, we give up responsibility and we lose our free will. The stalker deliberately takes his or her choices back from the Judge and Victim. Life is always action. Action makes a difference in the world. The stalker can make a dream come true in material reality. The dreamer cannot do that. The stalker has the power to change the outside dream within the limits of his position in that dream. The dreamer is unable to do this.

“At times, I wish I were a dreamer because I am constantly confronting living as a stalker. Yet, I'm glad I am aware and present to observe everyone and everything that happens. You see it is their dream it doesn’t affect you, as you take nothing personally and don’t assume. Ask questions to clarify if needed in the situation. Because I have the Mastery of Transformation, I am aware that everything, including myself, is energy in motion. We are eternal. We are light.”The art of stalking is the result of years of training. You reach mastery the moment that you gain awareness that everything you do and everything you say is an act of power. As a corollary of this awareness, you then accept responsibility for everything you do and for everything you say. Yet, truth is individual. What is true for me may not be true for anyone else. Each listener at a lecture absorbs what I am saying differently. Each one wants to hear some of the message but not all. Each believes in a certain way. I expose what I know. I no longer ask for feedback. I ask for questions only to clarify the way they believe.

Optional Advanced Students

Intent

The third Mastery of Intent is the result when we are no longer the body and no longer the mind. We are no longer the soul. We are just love because love includes everything. Love is the real name of God. Love is everywhere. Everything is made of love. We realize we are energy.

1. Mastery of Intent. This is the mastery of the spirit and the will. The Master of Intent becomes One with God. God works through the master's mouth, mind, and hands. In that state, with every action the master does, there is God.

The Master of Transformation is also a Master of Love, or we might say a Master of Intent. These are synonymous terms. The warrior learns that the truth is love.

We accumulate knowledge only to change the information on our computers. Once we change and become who we are, we no longer need knowledge. You need to cross the river of knowledge to transcend and not come back here anymore. Our knowledge closes off our intuition. Intuition leads us to the truth. Truth is alive. Everything is in evolution. Everything is biological. Everything is alive?

It has to start with

Self-Love

Everything is here so that we may love it, including ourselves. When our love for ourselves is conditional, our love for others is also conditional. Through our woundedness, we first deny ourselves love and then we deny it to others. Therefore, self-love has to be the first goal. If you have enough self-love, you do not need the love of another person. You can enter a relationship because you want to do it, not because you need it. If you are needy, you can be manipulated. If we are happy, we do not need another person to make us happy. We share our happiness, not our loneliness. Self-love makes us lovable. Others always move toward the person who is at peace with himself or herself.

Respect

When we respect each other's dreams, there is no conflict. When we are not afraid to love, when we do not stipulate conditions for our love, everything will change.

Today, there is little respect. As soon as I tell you what to do, that means I do not respect you. Feeling sorry for someone shows a lack of respect. Feeling sorry is not compassionate. Feeling sorry for someone else awakens our self-pity. If I feel sorry for you, it means that I think you are not strong enough or intelligent enough to make it. If you feel sorry for me, you do not respect me or think that I am intelligent or strong enough to make it. When we try to do something for somebody else, this shows a lack of respect. Having compassion is seeing that someone has fallen, helping that person to stand up, and then saying "yes" he or she can do it.

1. The Mastery of Awareness, "As we evolve, the etheric energy we create reflects subtler and more varied qualities of spiritual energy. What do we mean by spiritual energy? It is that undifferentiated energy in which we perceive oneness with everything around us. The feeling we have from the experience of spirit is divine love, ecstasy, or infinite freedom. This mastery brings us face to face with choices to break free from all that limits us."

2. The Mastery of Stalking or Transformation is the basis of the spiritual warrior's way of life. "We begin to watch our thoughts, words or actions to see why and how we limit ourselves, we suffer and feel unhappiness."

3. With the Mastery of Dreaming, we gain control over the energy that goes into dreaming this "Fixed reality" day in and day out. Once we start using the etheric energy at our disposal. When we perceive etheric (LOVE)energy, we perceive a greater portion of the totality of being than when we perceive (only) physical energy."

4. The Mastery of Intent Life or energy of Love, is "the Final mastery.... It is the mastery of the totality of being. The idealization of what it means to be in a body must be understood now. You have a body, yes, as a vehicle for experience, and—underline and—as a vehicle of your expression. Imagine a body without a soul. It doesn’t do much. Yes, we do have to love it and care for it while we use it in this short life. There is no life to it. It lays in a coffin or upon a slab.

But the soul itself is expression, and because the soul is expression at its essence, seeking to align and grow and evolve through every exchange or circumstance that she can claim, she must also understand that expression is her nature. You have a body, it expresses you in form, and the soul that you exist through is in expression.

Merge your will, your sight, and your thoughts with God's Mind. In the end, you will have no choice because we are a part of his mind, his energy of Love. Only the unified mind can create because the spirit has already been created.

Each of us has free will, each of us unique, not one with a separate mind but one whose mind is a part of God's mind.

Forgiveness was his way of cleaning the poison from our mind, like the inventory. Forgiveness is the only way to heal the roots of all the emotional poison that we have. Forgiveness is an act of self-love. Once you forgive, there will be scars there, but you will not hurt.

A minuscule fraction of God's love and wisdom

Information carried by light is known as silent knowledge. The secret of this wisdom is the coded method of continually renewing life.

Love is the essence of the silent Knowledge. This is who we are. This is our spirit, soul, or unconsciousness. This is the unseen energy.

Behind the dream lies the mind, and behind the mind lies energy. All energy has awareness, perception, and memory.

We can perceive energy without physical brain, heart, ears or eyes. All energy is alive.

The mark of a Toltec master is self-possession, someone who has risen above the personal and ego-driven, a self-monitoring person who is aware of the power in his or her word, action, and thought. Restraint, which rests on awareness, does not restrict spontaneity. Freedom from fear releases a person's spontaneous response to life.

Knowledge is the description of the dream of hell. Knowledge is our last barrier because it describes an illusion. Trying to "know" everything is what holds back our progress toward heaven on earth. Wisdom leads us forward. Once you let go of knowledge, you have nothing left to defend. Everyone's truth becomes valid. This is wisdom

The Toltecs' goal is happiness

Becoming a master is a way of life and a lifelong pursuit.

Energy is the result of the will, the result of intent. In the Bible, we read that it was dark and the first thing God created was the light. From that, he created everything else. Everything is created from energy, from light, including ourselves. We are light. The dream is light. The dreamer is light. The soul is light. Energy is light. All action and reaction begins in the spirit. Spirit is that property of energy that makes any transformation possible. Spirit is the pure consciousness that creates everything. It is light by itself. It is eternal. It cannot be destroyed. Therefore, if we are light and light is eternal, death does not exist. Death is a state of illusion and it only exists in a dream. We find now that the creation of the universe is nothing but a dream, a dream of intent, a dream of spirit, a dream of God.

If God awakes, everything disappears. He is the Supreme Dreamer. He is everywhere because everything is energy and energy transforms at every moment. The body is nothing but an edifice of God's intent. An edifice of light is light. We are not the brain. We are not the heart. We are what makes our heart beat. We are light. We are life. Life uses all these instruments to perceive, transform, express, live and to die.

When the body dies, we will continue to perceive with different tools. The mind dies and we still will perceive, even without tools because we are light. This is what Jesus meant when he said, "I am the light. I am he who gives life because I am eternal."

The let them rule

All human beings have a hardwired need for control. We all have an innate desire to control everything about our lives: our time, our thoughts, our actions, our environment, our plans, our future, our decisions, and our surroundings. Feeling in control makes you feel comfortable and safe, so naturally you try to control everyone and everything around you—oftentimes, without even realizing it.

But the fact is, there is one thing you will never be able to control. No matter how hard you try, you will never be able to control or change another person. The only person you are in control of is you.

Saying ‘Let Them’ anytime you feeel stressed, tense, or frustrated. . . Quit worrying or assuming it's about you. You can't control other people other events. Quit taking it personally.

In Stoicism, the focus is on controlling your own thoughts and actions—not the thoughts or actions of others. This philosophy aligns perfectly with Let Them, which is about consciously allowing others to make their own choices and live their lives, without feeling the need to manage or influence their behavior. By practicing Let Them and Let Me, you’re applying the core principle of Stoicism: Focus on yourself, because that’s where your true power lies.

Buddhism and Radical Acceptance teach that suffering comes from resisting reality. The pain we feel often stems from wishing things were different than they are. The Let Them Theory helps you not only accept reality but also separate yourself from the need to change it. You acknowledge that others’ actions and choices are not yours to control, and in doing so, you reclaim your emotional freedom. This is Radical Acceptance in its most empowering form.

Detachment Theory teaches us how to emotionally distance ourselves from situations that trigger us. When you say Let Them, you’re practicing emotional detachment. You create a mental gap between your emotions and the situation at hand, allowing yourself to observe what’s happening without being consumed by it. The result? You remain calm, clearheaded, and in control of your actions.~mel Robbins

True power lies in our response. You reclaim your power by choosing how you respond. NOT reacting….

It's your attitude. Your reaction is what tips the scales and changes the dynamic between you and someone else.

The power dynamic shifts, when you practice the agreements.

The source of your power is not in managing other people; it’s in your response. When you say Let Me, you’re tapping into that power by taking responsibility for what you do, think, or say next. Let Me makes you realize that you are in control of what happens next and that life is more fun and fulfilling when you’re not sitting alone in your superiority.

When you say Let Them, you make a conscious decision not to allow other people’s behavior to bother you. When you say Let Me, you take responsibility for what YOU do next.

What I love about Let Me is that it immediately shows you what you can control. And there’s so much you can control: Your attitude. . . your behavior. . . your values, your needs, your desires, and what YOU want to do in response to what just happened.

It’s the opposite of judgment. Let Me is all about self-awareness, compassion, empowerment, and personal responsibility. Your friends and other people who went away aren’t better than you. And you aren’t better than them.The more control you give up, the more you gain.

The Let Them Theory is not about superiority at all. It’s about balance. It’s about making room for both you and someone else. It’s about giving other people the space and the grace to live their lives—and then giving yourself the same.

Emotional maturity isn’t something you’re born with or that just happens. It’s a skill that takes time, practice, and a desire to learn. My therapist is right. Most people you meet still act like an eight-year-old child when they don’t get what they want or when they feel uncomfortable emotions.One more thing to understand is that it really has nothing to do with you. When someone gives you the silent treatment or the opposite, it all stems from their inability to understand their emotions or past demons.It is not your responsibility to manage their emotions or try to fix them. Your responsibility is to protect yourself from their emotional spiral, and to see it for what it is: A person who has no idea how to handle or express their emotions in a healthy way.

Let Them go silent. Let Them erupt. Let Them play the victim. Let Them sulk. Let Them deny that it happened. Let Them make it all about them.

Then, Let Me. Let Me be the mature, wise, and loving adult in this situation. Let Me decide if I want to address this directly or not at all. Let Me remind myself that managing another person’s emotions is not my job. Let Me remove myself from any text chain, dinner table conversation, relationship, or friend group where this is happening.

Learning how to let your own emotions rise and fall while still communicating what you need to, even when it is very painful to do so. And there will be times when making the right decision for yourself is going to be one of the hardest things you have to do in life.

But now, with the Let Them Theory, you’ll learn to respond with compassion, set your boundaries, and stop letting other people’s emotional immaturity run your life. And you’re going to need this tool because the connection between adults and childlike behavior is irrefutable:

You are only responsible for your 1/2 of any relationship. How they react is on them. Let it go… Stick to the 4 Agreements.

Again it's about FEAR. Make Decisions That Make YOU Proud

A major cornerstone of your foundation

The 1st Step

We can’t love others until we can love ourselves

This is a crucial step in learning to love others because we can extend the energy of love only when it overflows beyond the needs of our bodies....

After learning self-love—which is not to be confused with egotism or narcissism—and connecting with universal love, one becomes abundant with loving energy to share with others.

Genuine humility is always realistic. It’s critical for us to be realistic, to have a true knowledge of ourselves as we are, and to be able to recognize both the good parts and the bad parts of ourselves.

Further, there is a distinction between self-love and self-esteem, or excessive pride, in my opinion. And the difference between self-love (which I propose is a good thing) and self-esteem (which I propose can be a questionable thing) is often confused. Excessive pride or self-esteem is usually the ego to the extreme.

The first step toward improving your relationship with yourself is to accept yourself just the way you are.

You don’t need to learn how to love yourself. You need to unlearn all of the reasons why you reject yourself, and by nature you love yourself. You love not the image you project or the way you are, but you love yourself because of what you are. Then you start to enjoy yourself until you love yourself so much that you give yourself everything you need. You don’t leave yourself until last anymore. The more you enjoy the presence of yourself, the more you enjoy your life, and the more you enjoy the presence of everyone around you.

To love life is to enjoy every manifestation of life, and it is effortless. It is as easy as inhaling and exhaling. To breathe is the greatest need of the human body, and air is the greatest gift. You can be so grateful for the air that just to breathe is enough to love.

How can you show your gratitude for the gift of air? By enjoying every breath. When you focus on that enjoyment, you can make it a habit to enjoy the air, and you can enjoy it at least seventeen or eighteen times per minute. Just to breathe is enough to always be happy, to always be in love. But this is just one direction that love can take. Every activity of our life can become a ritual of love. We need food, and we can do the same thing with food that we do with air. Food is also love, and when we enjoy our food, when we taste it and feel the texture, it is one of the most sensual experiences we can have. There is so much love in the action of eating, and if we use a new mantra every time we eat, we increase the pleasure. The mantra is just one sound: “Mmmm.” If we practice loving our food every time we eat, soon it becomes a habit. It becomes a ritual that we use to give our thanks, express our love, and receive love without resistance.

When you dare to open your heart completely to love, a miracle happens. You start perceiving the reflection of your love in everything. Then eating, walking, talking, singing, dancing, showering, working, playing — everything you do becomes a ritual of love. When everything becomes a ritual of love, you are no longer thinking; you are feeling and enjoying life.

You find pleasure in every activity you do because you love to do it. Just to be alive is wonderful, and you feel intensely happy. A common factor of happiness is it is always in the moment. So if you get what have had a desire for, this makes you happy only in that moment. We all want to be happy all the time. If you want a glass of water, you get a glass of water. Aren’t you happy? Yes?

Whatever is happening right in this moment cannot be any other way, than what it is right now. Happiness happens because whatever you want is there. A full acceptance of what is there right now.

Work Ethics

The disciplines of personality, knowledge of self, and strengthening of will? Acceptance of self, the forgiveness of self, and the direction of the will; this is the path toward the disciplined personality, and Unconditional Love

Understanding we are all one and eternal

The heart of the discipline of the personality is threefold.

1. One, know yourself.

2. Two, accept yourself.

3. Three, change your thought system

The third step is that step which, when accomplished, renders one the most humble servant of all, transparent in personality and completely able to know and accept other selves. That we are in control of only ourselves.

The Golden Rule, Rules……

The 3rd step is one of choice - to live more from your mind and the ego of self or to learn to live more from your heart or soul and more towards others.

Self-acceptance is necessary to accept others. We are trying to get the measure of our personalities here, those shells of gifts and biases with which we equipped ourselves to sally forth into this world of shadow, service, and learning. I believe that is exactly what our surface selves amount to, just a shell, a personality shell we shall shed at death as a butterfly lifts her wings to the sunlight to glisten and dry and flies free of the cocoon altogether.

We can certainly get through this life without once glimpsing our deeper and more abiding nature. But we accelerate the pace of our spiritual evolution by focusing consciously on knowing and accepting the self at a deeper and deeper level. You are attempting, through the choices you make, to become more aware of who you are and what your truth consists in.

You go through life living through other people’s perceptions and visions. Listening to the talk show host on the radio or television narrows your perspective into their view of life. Reading the daily newspaper first thing in the morning sets your day along with their perceived views. It tends to bring about a dark cloud of separatism and negative programming. Why not take some time and find out what your view of life is, instead of incorporating other peoples’ perceptions? Why not be original and true to yourself for a change? Why not take time to think about your thoughts? Maybe you have something more important to say. You will never know if you don’t give it a chance. Challenge yourself to think through your perceptions of life. Where did they come from? Were they developed early in your life by your parents? Teachers? Ministers? Priests? Superiors? Are they appropriate for you now, or are you just comfortable with them because you have become them? It is too easy to slide through life not questioning, just getting by, staying the same no matter what.~The 5th Agreement

✅ It is realizing you are one with God's mind. Pure energy and that we are eternal. Connected to everything and everyone.

Faith

“We live by faith and not by sight,” Faith is a conscious choice, and to some extent, it does involve the surrender of personal will and desire, and an adoption of a larger viewpoint: Intelligent infinity is the one infinite Creator itself. This presence waits within our hearts. We are only a thought away from the tabernacle with the Creator in the sanctity of our own deepest hearts.

It is a choice much preferable to spending time worrying and fussing within our minds, and it is a choice within our grasp. Very connected with faith and deity is the faculty of hope.

It is easy to confuse hope with faith. Yet faith is blind; faith does not have eyes that see, nor does it need them. Faith is an inner sureness and is an invaluable ally to the spiritual seeker. In no way would we discourage any from the cultivation of the faculty of faith, for it is one of the great tools of learning available to you upon the spiritual path. Yet there are situations in which a focused vision has its place and is far more effective than blind faith. That faculty is hope. Hope is the development of faith in a specific area of intent or interest so that there is a vision that is developed that affirms all that is best in a situation, all that is requisite in an outcome.

✅ ¥KEY POINT>~Open Heart

Turning to love is turning to the heart of self, for the self, at its foundation, is the creature of love. We are but a vessel to extend God's love by co-creating his love.

The end result is to always have an open heart:

The central work for a Player is to come ever more fully into the open heart. This is always the priority. Upon this work of returning again and again to the open heart hangs the Game.

The open heart has an attitude. This attitude informs all our outer work and helps us make our choices well. All outer work takes second place to this central focus of dwelling in an inner atmosphere of unconditional love. Practice will perfect your method, and consciousness will make your method effective. You will Fail but keep trying….

We need to do three things To come into our open hearts.

1. We need to get to know ourselves, even our worst faults.

2. We need to forgive ourselves completely.

3. We need to accept ourselves and others unconditionally, just as we are.

This process is our leap into faith.

To stay in our open hearts, we need to repeat the process daily, looking within to be sure that we remain self-forgiven and self-accepted. Forgiving and accepting other-selves is simply an extension of forgiving and accepting ourselves.

1. To do is to Know, and to Know is to do.

2. The intellect argues, but the Spirit Knows.

3. The intellect examines; the Spirit has no opinions.

§

Only insofar as you love, accept, and refuse to judge yourself can you be compassionate in such wise to others. Only in compassion, as you see that treasure within you and within all, can you truly serve in a love that is without condition and that demands no return.

Self Love & Looking Within is the key

Love or Life is Attitude

Always look first for happiness. Happiness can come only from inside us. No one can make us happy. Happiness is an expression of our love coming out of us. We are not happy because others love us, but because we love them. The purpose of Toltec training is to convince a person to love herself or himself. Everything is here so that we may love it, including ourselves. When our love for ourselves is conditional, our love for others is also conditional. Through our woundedness, we first deny ourselves love and then we deny it to others.

Therefore, self-love has to be the first goal. If you have enough self-love, you do not need the love of another person. You can enter a relationship because you want to do it, not because you need it. If you are needy, you can be manipulated. If we are happy, we do not need another person to make us happy. We share our happiness, not our loneliness. Self-love makes us lovable. Others always move toward the person who is at peace with himself or herself.

A major problem in our modern world is that we always look outside ourselves to fulfill our needs without realizing that others seek fulfillment in the same way. It is in our nature to assume, for one reason or another, that everyone else has what we need, just as others make the same assumption about us. Out of habit, we all seek love externally without nurturing our source of that energy from within. This leaves us with very little to share.

The point is, without judging the ability of others to love, we must turn our attention inward to nurture and develop our sources of loving energy and establish a state of abundance within ourselves. Many people have problems comprehending their relationship with this source and thereby feel abandoned. This is often because they are so out of touch with their inner selves that they have forgotten how to reach the love within and have consequently lost their sense of this connection. Although divine love is unlimited, its manifestation within us occurs in the much smaller vessels of our bodies, and the connection between these inner and outer sources requires constant attention and alignment.

While learning self-love, one should remember that even the loving energy within us derives from the source. This means that the heart’s energy (where the loving energy resides) provides a connection to our divine source: Universal Love.

The connection between inner and outer sources requires constant attention and alignment. We first have to cultivate love within ourselves to have the power to draw in unconditional love from Heaven and gentleness and kindness from Mother Earth.

Love is truly an energy that resides in the heart.

Positive energies of love, kindness, gentleness, respect, and honesty. With these energies, an adept can counteract all kinds of evil.

The most important agreements are the ones you made with yourself. In these agreements, you tell yourself who you are, what you feel, what you believe, and how to behave.

Love & Wisdom

Even though love and wisdom seem to be two separate things, essentially they are distinguishably one. The quality of our love determines the quality of our wisdom and the quality of our wisdom the quality of our love. Love and wisdom are substance and form. Substance” means form as well, since there is no such thing as a formless substance. Truth is wisdom and love is what is good.

This also relates to our desires and perception, or our love and intelligence, since our intent/desires or will is the vessel of love and our perception or thought process is the vessel of intelligence. The quality of each depends on each other.

Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. (John 3:19)

While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of the light. I have come into the world as a light so that anyone who believes in me will not remain in darkness. (John 12:36, 46)

Maturity depends on your capacity and willingness to love

Self-Strength

The universe is full of love. Truth is love and love is truth. The freedom of your spirit will be found in truth and love. True love and true faith come out of strength, self-reliance, and self-responsibility. When you love, you honor and respect life.

The importance of keeping your owner's manual updated, when you live your life with love, honor, and respect, the story you create is an ongoing romance.

All these are attributes of emotional maturity

And only with strength, self-reliance, and self-responsibility are true love, involvement, and faith possible.

Developing Wisdom

Committing to unconditional self-love. This means you become willing to love every aspect of yourself without judgment or conditions—especially the parts of yourself that you often wish were different. Unconditional self-love lies within every one of us, regardless of our past circumstances and domestication.

Merging mind and heart

One part of wisdom is that memory without the emotional charge is wisdom.

When studying the virtues, we must examine love as a category unto itself to better understand its energetic influences. Although we generally think of love as a positive force, what we commonly call love can evoke more negativity in our lives than all the other negative energies combined.

For example, we know that extreme love can often quickly turn to hatred of the most bitter and violent kind. Even in dreams, we seek love, which indicates our inner need for acceptance and companionship from others. Yet our needs are rarely fulfilled by the words and actions of others. The question of what love is has puzzled men and women for centuries. The answer can only be found within ourselves.

Love is an internal energy of the heart rather than a product of the mind. Taoists regard the heart as a cauldron, capable of taking in negativity and processing it into positive energy. It is also a place to blend all the energies of our virtues to create the higher-grade energy of compassion. While our supply of energy is limited, the loving energy of the universe is inexhaustible. When we know how to connect to this wellspring, we will always have enough love for ourselves and others. Yet if we are not taught how to tap into the higher forces to enhance and replenish our supply, we often end up giving away more than we can afford...

Intuition or your gut instinct

In a new study published in the eNeuro journal, Professor Nick Spencer’s laboratory has identified a particular type of neuron in the gut wall that communicates signals to other neurons outside the gut, near the spinal cord, and up to the brain.

“There is significant interest in how the gut communicates with the brain as a major unresolved issue because of growing evidence that many diseases may first start in the gut and then travel to the brain, an example of which is Parkinson’s Disease,” says Professor Spencer.

“The new study has uncovered how viscerofugal neurons provide a pathway so our gut can ‘sense’ what is going on inside the gut wall, then relay this sensory information more dynamically than was previously assumed to other organs, like the spinal cord and brain which influence our decisions, mood and general wellbeing.”

Forgiveness

In working with the self, the most powerful tool we have is forgiveness. Thinking, and feeling that someone has done something to me is the thought and feeling of a victim: “I am someone’s victim. That person victimized me.” It’s the power of the illusion that allows us to divide between the victim and the victimizer. The thought that I need to forgive or be forgiven is an expression of illusion. I prefer to think that I create the things that happen in my life as opportunities to grow. If someone does something to me, I have two choices: be a victim, or recognize that I arranged with this person on another level to have this experience with me. This person has agreed to be my catalyst. This person is giving me a gift. It is then for me to recognize the purpose of the lesson, release the person of responsibility for my discomfort, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and then be thankful for the opportunity.

The key, however, is forgiveness of self, forgiveness of others, and forgiveness of humanity.

We are all those who fly with broken wings when it comes to re-seeing the self. We are most likely to have worked through this process only when we have had to. When those times come, we feel awash in the catalyst and inundated by the feelings involved. It’s not easy. It is easier if we choose to do this continuously. The idea is good and solid: to move beneath the appearances and the surface of things to the heart of self:

Choice

How you choose to see yourself is your illusion; it is your choice. We do not deny any of those things that are negative, seen against the positive standard of a healthy, smiling, vibrant evolution. We do not deny hate or death or jealousy, pain or anguish or loss. We only say to you that they are a part of that which is an illusion, and that at the heart of each of these things is a transformation which is so positive that joy leaps from every tear that we may shed in the learning of these lessons.

We do have great depths of this living water of the roots of mind, great possibilities as we re-imagine ourselves.

When we change our minds, we change the reality we live in:

Our reaction to anything or anyone comes from within, not from without. Change the thought, change the reality. It’s that simple. We mold our reality.

The challenge, then, is to find our deepest heart of self. One way of digging towards that heart is to follow one’s desire:

We would direct your attention to the factor of your desire, which works deeply and often in hidden ways within those situations that present themselves to you, colored in various ways. If you find that the situation that now catalyzes you has the feel or the coloration of frustration, it is well that you step back for a moment to examine what in the situation you find frustrating, and a step further back to determine what desire of your own there may exist to make possible the kind of frustration that you feel.

Laughter

In terms of working with the self, we are told to deal with ourselves very gently:

As each seeks to be of service, each need not treat himself harshly if at times he comes short of his expectations of how he should help others, or if others fail to respond to his attempts at service as he would have expected them to. The attempt is often worth more if it is tried without the expected results occurring, for in these times he is allowed to reflect on reactions and attempts, and can learn to deal with himself softly. How do we come at a sense of humor when things seem bleak? A key here is the concept of balance. The light touch is a balance for seriousness.

Happiness

It is just to love. Love yourself, love your neighbor, and love your enemies. This is simple, common sense, but we cannot love others until we love ourselves. That is why we must begin with self-love. There are millions of ways to express your happiness, but there is only one way to be happy, and that is to love. There is no other way. You cannot be happy if you don’t love yourself. That is a fact. If you don’t love yourself, you don’t have any opportunity to be happy. You cannot share what you do not have.

If you do not love yourself, you cannot love anyone else either. But you can need love, and if there’s someone who needs you, that’s what humans call love. That is not love. That is possessiveness, that is selfishness, that is control with no respect. Don’t lie to yourself; that is not love. The best way to write your story is with love. Love is the material that comes directly from your integrity, from what you are.

• When you introduce the agreement of self-respect, many self-judgments end there, and most of the self-rejection ends there, too. Then you can allow the voice to talk, but the dialogue is much better. You find yourself smiling and having fun, even when you are just by yourself.

• When you enjoy the presence of yourself, you love yourself not because of the way you are, but because of what you are. The more you love yourself, the more you enjoy your life, and the more you enjoy the presence of everyone around you.

• Every activity of your life can become a ritual of love — eating, walking, talking, working, playing. When everything becomes a ritual of love, you are no longer thinking; you are feeling. Just to be alive makes you intensely happy.

• When you love yourself unconditionally, you justify and explain everything you perceive through the eyes of love. Your attention is focused on love, and this makes it easy to feel unconditional love for all of the secondary characters in your story.

• The only way to know love is to experience love, to have the courage to jump into the ocean of love, and to perceive it in its totality. Once you experience love, you can’t find the words to explain what you feel, but you see love coming from everyone, from everything, from everywhere.

Love coming out of you is the only way to be happy. Unconditional love for yourself. Complete surrender to that love for yourself. You no longer resist life. You no longer reject yourself. You no longer carry all that blame and guilt. You just accept who you are, and accept everyone else the way he or she is. You have the right to love, to smile, to be happy, to share your love, and to not be afraid to receive it.

When you see another with the eyes of unconditional love, you are then able to clearly see who is actually in front of you, a living being who is trying to survive and thrive in a world filled with domestication and conditional love. Unconditional love allows you to disagree with the choices or beliefs of others while still respecting their right to have them.

Start forgiving everyone, and start loving everyone. If all humans loved in this way, they would no longer be selfish; they would be open to giving and receiving, and they would no longer judge each other. Gossiping would be over, and the emotional poison would simply dissolve.

Three simple points: the truth, forgiveness, and self-love.

Practicing unconditional love is the art of the Master of Self

Identity:

There are three basic hindrances to human perfection which apply to everyone alike. All faults stem from three basic ones:

1. self-will (selfishness),

2. pride, and

3. fear.

No matter which fault you take, examining it profoundly, you will always find that in the last analysis, it comes from one or more of these. This stems from our survival instincts. The protection of the identity of the self. Pride & selfishness is one of the worst traits to have. Let go of the feeling that you are better or smarter than other people. Let go of the power of/or manipulation of others. Work on yourself, your responses, and all of your behavior patterns, without judging. You must be willing to let go of the need to have the point of view that you are always right. It can dominate all aspects of your life. There can be many rights, depending on the view. This is especially challenging when you are, occasionally correct. But if you have to prove another is wrong, even if you win, you lose. To maintain your point of view, you must disregard all other points of view. Pride is always compensation for feelings of inferiority and inadequacy. That the effects of your pride must lead to separateness is self-explanatory.

Your fight for approval, to prove something or other, makes you self-centered, proud, arrogant, superior — or unhealthily submissive, which is bound to make you resentful.

Pride, selfishness, and fear are the crux of the outer or lower self. Each of these attitudes is a different form of denial and therefore even more dangerous to the soul than more overt forms of evil.

Pride says we are better than others so we have a right to our self-importance and specialness. “He who feels the humiliation of another person less than his own still has too much pride.” The antidotes to pride are honest self-confrontation and humble self-acceptance out of which real self-esteem comes.

Pride/Anger is always, in a sense, a lie. The original feeling is often one of hurt or frustration, selfishness, from not getting your way. If you owned up to the original feeling, you would not need to be angry. In pride, due to inferiority, you feel humiliated when you are hurt because you give someone else the power to hurt you. Therefore, you substitute anger for the original pain. Anger seems less shameful, setting you above the other person, rather than feeling your vulnerability, which seems an inferior place. Anger lifts you above the true position you find yourself in — that of being hurt. In pride, you lie about your real feelings. Thus, anger and pride are connected.

Self-will says we must get what we want when we want it, thereby justifying our egotism: ‘I want what I want when I want it’. Self-will is distinct from free will, which is simply the capacity of the entity to choose, to direct, to activate. Self-will occurs when free will is used in the service of the little self, the limited ego consciousness, in an attempt to control others and life.

Fear says we must protect ourselves so anything we feel we need to do for our defense is justified. Look at your fears. To what extent are they caused by pride? To what extent are they a result of rigid self-will, unwilling to bend, change, or flow with the stream of ever-changing life? The attitude of fear says ‘I will not trust’, and often also ‘if I am not special, or do not get my way, then something terrible will happen’. Fear both supports and results from the attitudes of pride and self-will. Fear keeps us restricted within the narrow boundaries of the little ego-self. The attitude of fear often makes us justify negative thoughts and acts that we never face directly because we are lost in the disorientation caused by fear. We need to bring the attitude of fear to the surface and understand the refusal to trust. This can result in impatience, which is a form of selfishness, or judging. Pride and self-will are easily overcome when there is no more fear. If you are not afraid to have your dignity impaired, there will be no need for false pride. And if you are not afraid of being controlled by factors beyond your influence, you will not need self-will. Fear is the great locked door that prohibits you from entering, right here and right now, into all that is immediately available the moment fear is uprooted from your heart and soul. Any system that perpetuates fear is created out of a need to control you. Lingering fear is the result of impressions made in the past that turn into conditioning. The fear is kept alive by lingering impressions.

By tying your self-love and self-acceptance to a goal, your happiness corresponds to its achievement. When you reach your goal, your self-esteem rises temporarily; when you don't, you think less of yourself. This is using goal setting as a tool for self-domestication, as you have chosen to conditionally love yourself based on the success or failure of your obtaining this goal. Now the expectation of what “should be” controls you. The process looks like this:

1. You decide that the person you are is not enough, so you set a goal to achieve something.

2. You implicitly agree with yourself that you will only be worthy of your love if the goal is obtained.

3. If you don't meet the goal, you judge yourself accordingly. If you do meet the goal, your inner judge raises the bar.

That is the trap that the Master of Self avoids, and the way to do so is by loving yourself unconditionally, seeing that you are already perfect at this moment and there is no goal you need to obtain to be worthy of your love.

Self-Respect/Honor

The concept of yourself is everything that you believe to be true. And everything that you believe to be true about yourself has landed you precisely where you live and breathe every day of your life. Your beliefs about yourself are like the ingredients in a recipe that you use to create your self-concept. Those ingredients or beliefs fall into two specific categories: your outer self-concept and your inner self-concept.

Do you grow from your outer self, the ego personality to your inner or heart personality learning to think from your heart? To connect to your heart one must be self-aware of your feelings and to perceive their meaning. Meaningful reflection of the soul comes from the heart or inside yourself.

Your soul, manifests in your emotional life, in your feelings, and in your subconscious. The entanglement of the soul/Spirit, mind, and body makes it hard to separate. So again we talk and use the words interchangeably. Everything in the universe has a soul, but only life-forms have spirits. The soul is the image-free energy that is in each individual. Plants and animals, planets and stars have souls. Humans also have a soul. The soul is immortal and timeless, and each individual is responsible for its soul.

A soul cannot be bought or sold, nor can it be killed or destroyed. When the soul’s energy is used responsibly, with love and integrity, great service to other souls is possible. The soul is not the self. It’s only when one sees through the self that the true power of the soul begins to shine through. The ideal of your soul, the thing that it yearns for, is not more knowledge. It is not interested in comparison, winning, nor light, nor ownership, nor even happiness. The ideal of your soul is space, expansion, and immensity, and the one thing it needs more than anything else is to be free to expand, to reach out and to embrace the infinite. Why? Because your soul is infinity itself. It has no restrictions or limitations—it resists being fenced in—and when you attempt to contain it with rules and obligations, it is miserable. Self-concept, one that is inspired by your soul. You have a body, it expresses as you in form, and the soul that you exist through is in expression as it. Spirit permeates form and is form itself.

The spirit is the self-image-template of the individual life form within the multiverse. When the physical body dies, there is still a personal image that one perceives. This image looks very similar to the body. This gives the ability to see the similarity between the spirit and the physical appearance of the old body.

The heart is the biggest electromagnetic organ in our physical mind/body.

But... Any profound change will only come about by the identity/ego committing itself to wanting the change and trusting in the processes of the involuntary spiritual self to bring it about. What is needed first, is awareness of the soul, and then awareness of the spirit, the innermost aspect of your soul.... the power of prayer

Every decision that you make either moves you toward your true personality or toward your soul. It is about awareness of your soul and thinking within yourself or from your heart or soul's personality not outwardly or from your ego personality.

Ultimately it’s having the wisdom, rationality, and will to have only desires or intentions from the heart or soul. Then to stay the course and create with the mind from what the heart truly wants. The body then experiences the creation that the heart relates to the mind. This is where awareness, living in the moment, or being aware of our conscious decisions comes into play. Not to let old unconscious and outdated automated programs run us. To be aware of the soul or heart. To get the mind to use the soul's desires or playbook in the game. Not to let the physical world or selfish ego mind be the quarterback, but to bench him in favor of the soul or love-based aspect of being the quarterback. It is not about change. It's about transformation.

“There is a world within–a world of thought and feeling and power; of light and beauty, and although invisible, its forces are mighty.” Charles Haanel

Balance

The balancing of energy within the mind body and spirit of an entity is not the work of one week one year or one lifetime, but is a process that is as natural a function as growing up physically. What are we balancing when we balance? We are taking the opposite qualities within ourselves and working with them to bring them into a balance that does not block or halt our attention.

The balance between being and doing is that which must be sought for each seeker:

This will differ from entity to entity and from time to time. Those who have been overbalanced in the direction of doing may well need, in the balancing process, to go through great periods in which it may seem there is no doing, but only being.

We can work with the balance in ourselves between love and wisdom:

There is that seeking that is of love and for compassion and understanding and the attempt to accept more and more of the creation as a portion of the self. There is balance in everything we do and in everything we love.

The spiritual self: becoming conscious

“You are not a human being having a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being having a human experience.” ~WDyer

Your higher self is that aspect of your soul that is in you, but it is not the fullness of your soul. It is a smaller soul self. Therefore, “higher self” is another term for “soul,” yet the soul is more than the higher self. Picture a cup, a gallon, and a water tank. The water tank is the soul. An aspect of the soul becomes a gallon. That gallon is still the soul, but not the fullness of the soul. It is that part of the soul that is on a mission, so to speak. The personality is the cup. The cup contacts the gallon, the higher self-soul, but not the full-bodied water tank. Communication between the personality and its soul is an in-house intuitive process. It is a process that is organic to your internal system. For example, decision-making, which is your process, can be an intuitive process in which you pull data from your mind, your heart, and your intuition, relying upon the guidance of your higher self. Each of these sources is part of your system of energy.

It is invisible and is the connection to the light, the field of intention, to God. Etc... Self-awareness allows us access to this part. Only an awareness of your feelings can open your heart.

Thinking with the heart, not the mind or intellect. We need our intellect to deal with the ego and help us make decisions in our survival while in the physical world. But the wisdom of our spirit/soul or heart should be our primary choice in our thoughts and responses in all of our goals and relationships.

The conscious mind is also where thought, free will, self, and rationality reside. So the mind (with reason)must eventually understand and relinquish control of the mind and body over to the heart or soul.

Intuition

Intuition, conscience, and love reside in our souls. Intuition is perception beyond the physical senses that is meant to assist you. It is that sensory system that operates without data from the five senses. When you leave your body, you will leave behind the intuitional system that was developed for you, as you will leave behind your personality, because it will no longer be necessary. Intuition serves many purposes. Intuition serves survival. It prompts you to pursue that which has no apparent reason to survive. Hunches about danger, for example, about what is risky and what is not, about which street is safe to walk and which is not, or about checking the car under the hood, help you to remain in the physical world. Intuition serves creativity. It tells you what book to buy for your project. It tells you where to meet the colleague that you need to meet, and which ideas from one field will complement which ideas from another. Intuition serves as inspiration. It is the sudden answer to a question. It is the meaning that takes form in the fog of confusion. It is the Light that comes to the darkness. It is the presence of the Divine.

Intuition can be thought of as a type of wiring that can be used by various sources. One of these sources is the soul. Intuition is a walkie-talkie, so to speak, between the personality and the soul. This happens through the higher self. In the creation of a personality, the soul calibrates parts of itself, and reduces parts of itself, to take on the human experience.

Our soul is always good, always true, always loving. It's the real truth of our being. Our soul is deeper than the personality psyche; it is the core or essence of our being.

The soul is only potential until one can figure out how to tap into this inner resource. The spirit usually has at least some subtle influence on the personality and psyche, but a person can go through life without ever really being conscious of the inner soul.

The majority of the time the self-will, selfish “I” in us, the little ego, think and act with many other earthly desires other than Love. Most people let the outside physical forces push the less dominant inward, spiritual/soulful part of us to the wayside.

The ego, the little self is a hard nut to crack. The ego is the real devil.

Only when a person initiates self-reflection, can one gain awareness of their deeper spiritual principles & values.

Usually, only from experiencing hurt do people gain understanding and the empathy needed. Only then do most start the process to see and feel from the heart. Crisis can be avoided by looking at the inner truth when the first inklings of disturbance and negativity manifest on the surface. However, a tremendous amount of honesty is required to challenge one’s tightly cherished convictions.

Your higher self is a piece of an all-loving, all-embracing creative Source. Your higher self is just what it says: higher than your false self, higher than your material physical self. It is the part of you that is aligned with your very Source of being. The ego is all about protection, self-serving, ownership, winning, judging, and so on. The higher self is about serving, loving, and being in a nonjudgmental state of peace. Spiritual living, feeling, being, and inner experience is an altogether different matters and can be experienced only after the inner world of feeling has been explored and understood.

The inner world is the only reality that counts

It determines your material life just as much as your spiritual life, as you will find out more and more on this path. You can see, as a consequence of this work, that your inner problems are responsible for your outer ones.

In your analysis, you will realize that you must apply spiritual values, which to now you have applied more to actions and thoughts than to feelings, to your inner life.

To spotlight the feelings without courting the dangers of self-judgment, more substantial growth has to take place. True development is indicated when your inner life corresponds to what you all know to be right, good, true, and loving. However, since feelings cannot be controlled by an effort of will, you cannot simply influence and control them as you do actions and thoughts.

Only if and when you completely understand your unconscious reactions and therefore control them, can you safely take a spiritual approach to your emotions.

Spirituality has nothing to do with religion and it does not reject any religious beliefs either.

Spirituality is about a person’s identity based on their values, and desires.

It may be helpful to think of the emotional and mental self as the feelings and thoughts of the physical person. The spiritual self is the doorway or interconnectedness of those thoughts and feelings to your spirit's feelings & thoughts that only consist of the goodness and truth of love. The spiritual self resides directly within the realm of feelings.

To know something spiritually, you must experience it, there is no other way—you cannot simply think your way to a new awareness or transformation. You must experience it, and the only vehicle you have for directly experiencing a new and higher vision for yourself is your feelings.

TrueTruth

What is eternal is True. Truth is not subjective. What is True is always true and will always be true.

Awareness of Your Attitude or Frequency

Life is a set of experiences that align you to greater knowing. It is a school. It is a time of lessons. And life is an expanse of time in which growth can occur. If you understand this, you take the focus off the fear of achievement in a lifetime because you know that this time in life is about learning this thing or that thing, and that these lessons will continue on life after life after life.

This is, in many ways, the opportunity for you to let go of fear about having to be a certain way at a certain time to free you up to do things in a way that will teach you. When you are always looking at the goal, you bypass the lessons you were led to through the effort to arrive there. That’s interesting, but it’s also not required to focus yourself in such a way that the bypassing of knowledge precludes you from learning the lessons you are intended to learn as you arrive at each stage of growth.

We say this…

The responsibility for your growth, of course, is yours. And the circumstances that you bring forward in your life have been brought forward by you to teach you what you need to know. As you grow forward in time, you understand that you have things that you need to learn and therefore you call to you the circumstances that you need to bring that growth and that understanding, that learning, into being.

You are the teacher and the student

Developing your Owner's Manual:

PERSONAL POWER TOOLS (skill set)

Course outline

1. Read the Relentless book.

2. Read the Self Love lesson in the Love section. After having self-love this step is almost as important. Read rest of Love section and Mastery of Love book

3. See Owners' Manual section read and take your time to figure out who you are and want to be. Focus more on the inner values and characteristics you want to develop and have.

This is where you make sure you know what you want, who you are, and who you want to be. Integrity, honor, self-respect.

4. Then read the 4 Agreements book Ego section and God's Knowledge Thought System

5. Read the Awareness section

6. Read the Emotions section

God's unseen world, the real spiritual world that we live in…

There are two different ways a man can intend to grow spiritually.

1. One is through conscious intention, the other is

2. through getting bounced around enough that one has to go there out of necessity. That is “hitting a bottom, ” if you wish, or having an experience of being confronted with something that the conscious mind, and the tools that the conscious mind has had to fix it, suddenly fail.

The consciousness of God, which is True Love in vibration (and consciousness means “knowing”), is not inhabited by something impersonal. The Universe, the consciousness that you can claim to be God, is more knowledgeable than you, and you have to attribute this to a higher frequency of knowing. If you know everything, there is nothing to know.

If you move into oneness with your Creator, which is the consciousness of God. The Universe in another name but in a more personal one, you begin to know differently. Bodies are vehicles of consciousness and nothing more. They are fun, they are wonderful, they are gifts, but they are the vehicles of consciousness.

Consciousness extends beyond the body and consciousness extends beyond the construct of time. Your body may die but the real you is transformed into God's eternal ball of energy.

But there are two levels of truth.

#1… Eternal truth, that which is always true, and we will say this for all of you:

When something is true, it is always true. Man cannot be put outside of God because God is everything. God is the frequency of every cell in your being. God is the source. God is the great source. God is the frequency and the energy that joyfully permeates all matter. God is everything. God is everything. God is everything. We are eternal. An aspect of the Creator, not God himself. You are vibrational energy. You are an aspect of the Creator, nothing else. Period.

Learn to activate your heart center and activate the Christ (Holy Ghost)within, the consciousness that is the self, that aspect of God that exists within the deep inner heart. Align your light with the intention of God's Light.

The Christ within you is the truth of who you are in essence, and the manifestation of the truth of who you are in essence is the creation of wonder and God within you realizing Himself through your experience of you. You are God in form. Every one of you is of the Source that manifested you. You are not God and you must not run away with an emblemization of this instruction. “He said I was God. I will go move a mountain. I will do as I wish.”

When we say you are God, we say everything is. You are just a small aspect of God's energy. Made in his likeness, a minuscule part of his energy, each with free will, and choice in how to use this eternal energy while in human form.

Everything is from its source.

Man's belief that you are separate from your Source shields you from truth, because if you accept this truth, you cannot be what you are not. You cannot be afraid. You cannot be frightened. You can only be as you can only be. And the light that you are, in its full bloom and resonance, will claim all it sees, all it witnesses, in an agreement to be the same.

God's Love or truth

What is love good for? Every thought must start with love. If it starts with love it ends in love or goodness. Love is eternal. Love is the true truth.

And truth, eternal truth, that mankind is of God, is that all of God or what you would name as God because it may go by many names, the truth of all these things will still be here when what you have clung to has turned to dust.

Truth #2…. But the convenience of a daily truth on this day, of daily life, Ego truth

“That market has the fresh produce,” and on that day, “You’d better stay away from the fish” Do you understand that may be an opinion or an experience of truth, but it is not an eternal truth? As we teach truth, the Divine Self or the causal being that you are is truth, and as it is truth, it aligns with all things true.

Human truth is subjective to each person's perspective… constantly changing per the circumstances.

Balance

Now in your daily life, aligning with the truth simply means that the claim has been made to operate as God's truth. Now, the truth is not a little book you carry and you check and see if it’s true. It’s an energetic form that you can align with. And as you become truth, what you claim must be in truth. And the knowing that you hold, because knowing is always truth, will be what directs you in your days. Period. Period. Period.

A balance while living here on earth, between the two, leaning way more towards God's thought system.

Awareness of who you are is #1….

1. Delveop your personal pillars of integrity, honor, and self-respect. Know yourself first. Who are you and you do you want to be? Update your owner's manual. What are your boundaries, what can you tolerate and what you won't tolerate, what is your truth?

2. Develop your personal mind and heart pillars of faith, prayer, choice, beliefs, and love. Your attitude, your energy frequency. Tap into your eternal energy of God's energy of love.

READ:

THE 3 QUESTIONS

Beliefs

Everything was claimed by you with a name, then with no name. Now imagine, if you would, that everything in the room is in vibration. Everything is moving, and as it moves the shapes it’s held may become transformed. The wood on the table may be claimed as a tree. The bricks on the wall may be made back to earth. Everything that is in form now was once another form. Do you comprehend this? And because it was once another form, it can be claimed anew and transformed again. Underline this, please. Everything that has been created can be re-created. Everything that’s been created can be re-created in its true nature.

Now know this to be so. Everything you see before you that is of God cannot be outside of God. And what you put outside of God claims you outside of the light you truly are. As we have said many times, God is all things, so there is nothing that can be outside of God but your belief in separation. Your own separation, the separation from you and your fellows, supports the separation agreement that you perceive yourself as holding.

So when you know who you are— “I am a Divine Being” —you claim a world in agreement with that. And when you know what you are—underline the word what—the manifested self, the Divine Self in form, the world that you see before you may also be known in congruence. If you’ve excluded God from the physical realm and placed it upon a cloud somewhere unreachable, you have affirmed separation. But when God is the tree, and the rug beneath your feet, and the man you see across the way, and in all those people.

Love

When an individual loves, the individual has an experience of love, and a private experience, in many ways, of the blessing of love.

It is another country that the lover stands in when the lover first experiences her love. And the magnification of this love as a shared construct can be seen when people marry, or couple, or have children, and the frequency of love is larger and holds in tandem several identities engaged in an action of love.

The ideal of out-picturing love on a collective level comes forth through the intention to marry a great group of people in consciousness through united effort and awareness. And this can only come about when the individual resigns herself to the abrupt change of systematizing the self as individualized in love, to understand fully that love, as an action, is always active.

Anything selfish, frankly, is not, could not, will not be love.

“If I love you so much, you will never leave me,” is not love.

It is fear. “I love you so much I would never be with anybody else” is fear, and it is a projection on the other, the object of love, as leaving you. These are all manifestations of fear that you conjure and create to bring about a distortion.

Love will not be distorted. It cannot be. It cannot be tampered with because it is a high frequency. And a high frequency, so you see, will always stand in congruence with the Creative Source.

The God Self, the aspect of the self that is God, is the lover within you, and to the extent that you decree that this love is exchanged and has to have a return invested in it, you do not love. If you say, “I love the postman” to the extent that you say, “I love the husband, ” you are getting more on the right track.

Because we say to you, true love is not a condition or an emotion. It is a frequency that is emitted that transforms what it encounters.

Love is free or freedom and it is not to be dictated as much as it is to be expressed.

When you are a transmitter for the higher frequencies, (attitude)which is what you are, your energy field becomes a tuning fork, and when you are attuned to the frequency of love, the energy of love works with you and through you to make itself known.

If you are working with this still as a personality construct which intends to love someone in a special way because you choose it, you may be in an aspect of love, but you are not in the experience of love as much as the illusion of love. And there is indeed a difference.

The illusion of love is a personality construct that has requirements attached to it. The belief in love as a personality construct has been a problem here for a very long time. People divorce when they fall out of love. And falling in love is an experience of love, but it is an embellishment of love and it is not a truth in the higher sense.

Frequency of Love

The truth of love moves through the system and makes itself embellished truthfully. It does not commit other than to say, “I am in love.” To be in love means, truly, to be in the frequency of love and not to be in the construct of love that has requirements. Attitude and the sweetness of your heart.

“Thought” precedes creation.

Now if you have a relationship that is not operating well, the thoughts that you have created prior to entering the relationship are the things that have created the situation that you are in now.

The moment you understand that the consequences of past thought are the reasons you don’t feel embodied in this moment is the moment you become aware that you can embody, because those thoughts that were created in knowing on a higher level can bypass and can recreate your emotions, your responses, and the relationships that you have in your personal life.

Now we will talk about a “personal life.” What a funny way to say something! Everything is your personal life because you are the one inhabiting it. Your movie, your dream. But what is being talked about is your emotional private life in relation to others. Follow your emotions.

And here is what the work is today:

Let's discuss your relationships with your fellows in terms of your awareness.

Now strife, in a personal relationship, is a reflection of a need to control on one part or another.

But if there are two people in a relationship and there is strife, you can understand very quickly that control is the issue at hand. And if you can understand that all control and requirements of control are born out of a need from fear to be in charge, or whatever you want to say will be incurred by not being in charge, you can understand that fear, once again, is the culprit.

When you have a relationship that is operating well, and in your awareness you can state, “I am in my knowing in this relationship, and what this relationship brings forth is creative and wonderful and loving,” you can clearly understand that there is no battle of control, because the relationship is in congruence, and the benefits of the relationship are making themselves known very, very clearly through positive impact.

Now once you understand that every relationship you are in is your teacher, you can begin to see what is available to you through your information about what you need to manifest yourself through your knowing as the one party to an aware and healthy relationship.

Start with yourself

After updating your owner's manual, comes… Self-Awareness, Self-Love, Self-Discipline

Your relationship with you. Until you understand that you are the basis for every relationship that you have, you’re going to be in trouble. And the ignorance of this simple fact has destroyed more relationships than you can know.

Know your boundaries. Know who you are and who want to become. RESPONSIBILITY…. Develop integrity, honor, self self-respect and respect of others. This may change over time, thus updating your owners manual is required.

People assume very, very quickly that they are not the one in authority at any given time, when, in fact, the only way you cannot be in your authority is to abnegate your authority. And then if you do that, you are still in a choice. And that means you are still the one in authority. So please, everybody, first things first. You are at the center of all of your relationships.

Now the relationships that you manifest in your environment are created by you to know yourself, to see yourself, and to believe in your own worth through activation and transformation.

Now we will explain this:

If you have an authority in your life whom you are frightened of, you have created a situation where you have to learn your relationship to your own authority. The outrage that people experience at authority figures is usually outrage that is meant to be directed at the self for not being the one in authority, and the mirror is effective, but only to the extent that the individual sees what is truly happening.

Becoming aware of yourself in your relationships does not require anyone else to change. They will change in response to the change in your consciousness. And as that change happens, what you create has to change.

So if you are a female who has believed herself to be controlled by men and holds great anger at a paradigm that supports that kind of imbalance, and you realize finally that this gives you a great excuse to remain disempowered, you can then change your consciousness.

And as you are empowered through this transition in your awareness, the paradigm changes to support your requirements for a new identity that will be reflected to you in your relationships.

You are still the one in charge. You do not change the ignorance of others by combating their ignorance. That actually enhances the ignorance because it supports a requirement for protection. When you realign to your knowing, and others can come into their knowing through the congruence of intention, you can then change the self, and the self will then create others in their landscape who will reflect back the new choice, the new awareness, and the new reality.

Understand, once again, that you are the one in charge of all of your relationships forces you immediately to abandon the idea, the belief, and the investment in being one who is being victimized by anyone for any reason. Now we are not talking about physical experience right now. If you are walking down the street and somebody hits you in the nose because they are out hitting people in the nose, yes, in fact, that was created by you on an experiential level, but at the same time what we are really of is the way you self-identify as a victim that brings these experiences to you.

Now it’s much easier to blame someone else for your issues than to take responsibility for them. But to the extent that you have the investment in blame, you become the victim who then cannot help to transform the circumstance that she says she wishes she would, once and for all, change.

Now the limitations that you have in your requirements for your freedom in relationships are about judgment and fear and a belief that you have to adhere to certain paradigms of behavior that have been entrenched and made so out of a need, yes, to control you.

Now if you believe that if you do not behave a certain way you will not be met with love, you are creating situations where your behavior is being dictated by fear. And those people who were raised to be extremely polite were told that if they weren’t, they would not be welcomed. And, consequently, they have created fear based on behavior that dictates how they will be received by others.

We speak this and we hear how obvious it sounds. But at the same time a relationship which is party to several people, the individual at the center of the relationship and those she chooses to interact with has been created by these systems for too long. And the only way to change is to become aware of your investment in what you create, how you create, and why you keep it in place to the extent that you do even though it no longer serves you at all.

Marriage

Now when you have a marriage, and that is an agreement between two people and we will talk about marriage as “agreement” and not as a piece of paper, which is also just a contract mademto support systems of fear and control, you will begin to see that the agreement is made to support the individuals choosing to engage with each other?

Now we are not knocking marriage as an agreement. We are all for it. What two can achieve through united will and in their learning as coupled can be quite wonderful. But a contract that limits behavior and is for the reasons of taxation or rule over another essentially has been created in a doctrine, historically, that was a requirement of control.

Marriage is an agreement between two parties who elect to conjoin to have a certain experience. And if a contract supports that, so be it. But do understand that the contracts that you sign are always about control and a perceived belief in safety.

“If I marry my husband, he will never look at another woman.”

Oh well, how often does that happen? “If I marry my husband, I will get all the money when we divorce.” Well, that’s another way of looking at something, but of course, understand that’s what contracts are for, and nothing about human experience as interchanged, interfaced, interwoven, and linked through consciousness is available in a legal contract about marriage. It does not exist there.

A ceremony can be held that evokes and states all of the truisms about partnership and agreement, and that is marriage we endorse heartily, because union and availability to that in commitment is a wonderful thing. We are speaking of contracts.

“Well, a contract and a commitment are two very different things.”

They are not different but they can be operated very differently. A commitment is a choice, but it is not binding, and a contract is a binding thing that has ramifications if it is broken. It is a protection and it is a threat.

When you sign a lease on an apartment, you are stating that the apartment is yours and no one else’s for the duration of the lease. It permits you to do what you want only within the parameters of the time you have made a promise to pay for it contractually. Nobody cares, frankly, about paying rent on a home they do not live in.

Now if you look at a marriage, an agreement between two people where there is shared information and love, the idea of signing a contract “until death” is wonderful, but it’s also a big threat and invites problems.

Because when you state something is finite, you have resistance to it as well. Now if you understood that the choice to be in an agreement in a relationship or marriage that was born in consciousness that was not tethered contractually to a basis of fear, you would find that that marriage was enhanced through the awareness that the individuals involved were always choosing to be in commitment through their consciousness and not through the dictate of an external authority system that states, “This is how you will now behave, this is what is appropriate behavior, and these are the repercussions you will have if you do not live up to the contract,” which is divorce or anything else that you can think of that can be incurred through the violation and dissolution of a contract.

Choice & Relationships

Every relationship we have is how we learn and grow

The free will of individuals to be about one another always has to be made in an identification of conscious choice, aware choice, and not through systematized jurisdiction by external authority. So to go back to our original idea of what it means to be the one at the center of your relationship, what we want you to understand is that there is no one else finally choosing your life but you. And if you are welcoming others into your experience in any real way, you do this through identification, consciously, with your choice to be in relation. Period.

When you are in conscious choice, you are always aware.

“What is the difference between conscious choice and unconscious choice? “I am not unconscious in the choice of awareness in any of my relationships.”

You absolutely are. Eighty percent of the interchanges that you have are done through programmed behavior that has very little to do with your own needs and awareness.

When you make an agreement to walk down the block and have a conversation with someone, you are in mutual agreement and awareness of what you are choosing to do. However, when we say unconscious behavior, what we are speaking of is the way behavior is informed by the patterning (habits)that you have inherited in your culture and through being raised with certain requirements and dictates about what is appropriate.(domestication) And as you operate from that place of unknowing of what is conscious, you can delude yourself to the end of your experience by saying that you are choosing it in a conscious awareness of choice.

• Look for others ego emotions of blame, attack, always being right, and defensiveness. Then start to notice yours and first signs of your symptoms. Becoming flush, mad, upset etc…

Here is an example:

You have a child who is raised to believe that she must get married one day and have children. And that embedded belief informs her choices and she becomes aligned and goes into agreement with a self-identification that states that her worth is tied to behavior that has been created for her. And she believes it and, consequently, she creates from this place, and perhaps is happy because she is conforming to the expectations of others. Or perhaps she is miserable because her true self wants to be living on a cliff with a young man who eats grass and drinks out of a coconut. It doesn’t matter what you choose as long as the choice is made in inherent accordance with your Divine Self. And to understand what the Divine Self requires in its relationships has to come through an awareness of what in your life has been created for you in unconsciousness, in lack of awareness, through cultural dictates, parental requirements, and now, we will say, systemized ways of controlling everyone.

Everybody has a belief that they are free. And this is true to the extent that you acknowledge that at your essence you are absolutely the one in control. But you have gone into agreement about everything, for better and for worse, that you have created around you. And to the extent that you believe that the ceiling is low, that is the low ceiling that you all engage in experiencing. What we would intend to do with your consciousness through the experience of this text is raise the roof. Raise the roof high so that you can see the limitlessness of creation and experience that is available to you.

But if you are operating out of belief systems that tell you, “This is appropriate, this is not, and the taxes are due, and the toll needs to be paid, and the contract needs to be signed so that I can be by others beliefs,” you are operating through mutual agreement that is based in control. (not that you shouldn't pay your taxes)

You are going to begin to experience yourself as operating through certain dictates that have been given to you that you have been previously unaware of, and you have ascribed your own behavior in relationship to this. When you are free of those things, those creations that have limited you, then you can call yourself free. But the coming of awareness that we are promising you is about seeing where that belief has been tainted, constricted, and not been truthful. And to do this, you have to become aware of your present landscape in your relationships.

“Is there a need to analyze all your relationships?”

Yes, there is, and not in the way that you think. This is not as much an intellectual exercise, it is an energetic one.

First things first. Begin to understand that every relationship you are in has an exchange of energy attached to it. Where are you liberated in the energies that you experience in this relationship, and where are you depleted? Where do you feel constricted, and where do you not feel honored?

Now if you can begin to ask yourselves these questions, you can begin to discern why this is so. And then you can understand why you choose to be in engagement with others in ways that make you feel constricted and depleted and not free.

Now when you do this, you become conscious and aware of things that have always been there. “I am always polite.” “I always open the door,” “I’m always cranky when I don’t get my way,” whatever it might be, is what you need to understand about the capability and the structure of the relationships that you have created.

And yes, we will say again, your relationships have been created for you in order to learn who you are. That sounds selfish, but in fact, everyone is doing the same thing, and it is a construct that is agreed upon, and everybody is being taught through their interactions.

Remember, this is not about thinking.

This is about knowing.

Now you can delude yourself and say that you know that this relationship is meant to be, or that you know that this child is meant to behave in a certain way that does not harm my feelings. However, you don’t know that. You are wishing that, you are intending that.

Now we will tell you something.

When you are in your knowing, that aspect of yourself that knows accepts, and does not question. If each one of you now would once again go back in your life to a place where you knew something: You knew you were in love. You knew you were getting that great job. You knew that your parent was passing, or the dog was sick, or the move would have to happen. But on a deep level of resonance, you knew. Can you do this now? Can you go into this place of knowing in your own self?

When you remember this and we say remember, reconnect to that memory, you will go into resonance with it and this will be the touchstone for you. It is very different to know that you have been fired from a job than to think it. So go to your knowing. Your knowing will invigorate you and it will be your teacher.

So when we tell you this, don’t trick yourself that your thinking is your knowing. We are inviting you to bypass the self that invests in other things from a place of control or a place of fear:

Fear that you will not get what you want, fear that it will be taken from you, fear that if it doesn’t happen the way that you decide, something must be wrong with you or your world.

So knowing, again, is the placement for your consciousness when you are in response to consciousness. Now we will talk about love and the need for knowing in consciousness.

When you go into love and awareness, and you understand that the congruence of the actions that you take that are born out of love will always be for your highest good and the highest good of those around you, you can begin to trust more effectively that the reason you are in charge of your congruence is because you have become one with your knowing.

When you are in your consciousness, in your knowing, what you are capable of is transforming to you and to your life and is of benefit to others. Period. When you know who you are at a deep level, you are in your integrity always. You are always operating from that place of consciousness that states its own awareness of its worth. “I am in my knowing” is only true to the extent that the depth of the knowing is incorporated of that aspect of the self that is truthfully conscious and aware of himself as a Christed Being.

Now you don’t need to use that language per se to have this experience. You can be in a country where the belief systems are completely different, but the truth would be the same. That in your essence, your True Self is an aspect of the divine operating within you, and that that aspect of the self known to you as your truth and as your essence will always ground you in your honor and in your worth because it cannot do otherwise. When you understand that, you have a clear anchor to your response to any question about your worth that you could ever have.

When you are established in your consciousness, you regard yourself differently. There are certain things that you don’t engage in. One of them is approval, and the requirements of approval that you may have foisted on yourself or been gifted with culturally, or by your fellows, or your family. The need to be approved of actually vanishes when you are in your knowing at the frequency that we speak of. And the reason is very simple. There is nothing to be gained from it. You are not looking for affirmation for yourself from outside of you because it’s not required. The well that is you is full. You do not need to have it from another source.

Attitude/frequency and Fear

We will be discussing things to make very clear points about issues of love as they relate to others in systems based in fear, and belief systems that are about fear of others in general.

Now to discuss fear in a relationship must signify that there is a relationship to discuss. So we will take two people right now and have a little talk about them. There is a young man and a young female who are existing together in a relationship. The female desires the male to stand by her when she has issues that she does not like. And she requires him to support her through these issues to feel safe, to feel defended, to feel right. Now he can say, “I am standing by you,” and he can stand by her. But for him to go into agreement with her issue is to compromise himself in frequency. Now we will give you an example of what this means. This young woman has a job where she hates her boss, and she never likes what he says to her. She wants his approval, he never gives it, she works harder to get the approval, and she gets angry at how hard she has to work to please this man who will never be pleased.

And she comes home at the end of the long day of efforting on someone’s behalf and says to her partner, “You have to agree with me that he’s a terrible boss,” or “I work too hard for him for not enough money,” or create a scenario in discussion that that scene we provided you could concur with. Now he could say to her, “Yes, I know, you do work too hard,” with awareness in relationships, and then he is in his authority, and he is stating a truth from his place of understanding and knowing. To the extent that he says, “You have a terrible boss, you are too good for the job, you should get out of there,” he is condoning her behavior, which is wrong-minded. Her first effort is to contend with her issue of requiring others’ approval to feel validated. And once she does that, she will be in the right job, and the boss will not be the issue.

But to require of a partner that he go into an agreement with her issues creates congruence in absolutely the wrong way. If you are in a relationship with someone and they say, “You have to convert to my religion to be in a relationship with me,” and the other person says, “That’s wonderful, I would love to do that for you, that’s a wonderful religion,” and makes that choice, there is no issue.

But when someone else sacrifices their own identity or those things that they require to make them feel true to themselves for the benefit of another, you are not supporting integrity in your relationship. Period.

Truth

“What is this really about?”

This is about truth. This is about claiming truth in your relationships. To claim truth, you have to see what is there already, and then you have to move from it.

To believe yourself to be inferior is to deny the truth of who you are. To believe another man is unworthy is to deny the truth of who he is. To stand in your knowing as truth, when lies are thrown, is an act of truth. And the truth will hold and the claim of freedom. This isn't about becoming spiritual but about truth.

Imagine that the sky you see above you is permeating all things. It’s only your belief that you are sitting indoors. The sky that seems so blue out the window is actually indoors as well, but you believe yourself to be separate from it.

Now we will go even farther. The sky that you see above you is actually in your skin as well, and in your flesh and bones and blood—marrow, if you like. Every aspect of you is still being permeated by the same sky. But because you have a layer of skin that protects you from the elements, you don’t understand that the sky is in all things.

Now we will take it even farther. What if the sky is all that’s real, all that’s real or eternally real? And the body and the house that you sit in will one day be dust, but the sky that was informing you will still be there, and you were part of it once, so you cannot be separate or other from it, you will understand the nature of God or Spirit permeating as all. Circle or underline the word all. It cannot be separate from its Source. The being that you are cannot be separate from its Source, even though she imagines herself to be.

Now the what that you are, the manifested being who knows she is made of God, that God—or the sky, if you prefer—permeates every aspect of her, now begins to comprehend that she is no different from the wall, the sky beyond it, the ones who live in the shared plane she exists in.

Because she is reidentifying herself in matter as the Divine Self, she can transform the plane that she expresses in because she has not diminished herself as in the mud, with God somewhere else. The only one who can make alchemy expressed as what they are is the one who knows herself as what she truly is…

Everyone is a part of God and must be aware and in agreement with this fact as an aspect of the Creator in truth. Alignment will be in increments. Once you understand that the energy of the Creator in action, is the truth of what you are.

But once you realize you are eternal energy, once you know the truth of who you are, you will Know.

This I about relearning, forgetting old lessons. This is about your attitude or energy you put out in life, through your actions. Realigning your frequency, tone, your attitude about who you really are.

So look at your primary relationships in your life, the big ones, the partnership, the children, the boss, the friendship, whatever makes itself apparent to you first, and isolate the ways that you have come to promise your knowledge to go into agreement with someone else’s issue. By “issue” we mean a construct of their requirements for their reality to be out-pictured in a certain way. (Per their movie)

Now if you have a friend who engages in behavior that you know is self-destructive, you can choose to love that person with the behavior intact. That is the appropriate thing to do. You do not withhold love from someone because they are being destructive.

However, to agree with a behavior,“ I understand why you do that, that must be okay, because it’s you and I love you anyway”- is a horrible thing to do to someone that you love. And we say “horrible,” because you are supporting them in a lesson that they are choosing that is self-destructive. Now if someone is about to throw themselves down the stairs, you can grab them, you can let them go, but how awful to say,

“What a lovely thing, to throw yourself down the stairs.” It is dishonest, and frankly, you are engaging in that behavior through your fear of being released by the one you say you care about. “If I tell him to stop drinking, he’s not gonna be happy, so I’m not gonna say that.” Well, telling him is one thing.

Deciding within yourself that you are no longer going to be in a relationship where you are having to go into agreement with someone else’s behavior That you cannot ideally support in truth is the right thing to claim. And from that position, you can begin to heal yourself.

“Are you only asking us to discern what relationships we have that are destructive to us?”

We are not saying that. We are asking you to discern for yourself where you move out of truth, where you move out of your integrity, and where you align with someone else’s truth in a way that bypasses your sense of truth. Period.

Once you understand this, you can recreate the relationship in your consciousness. (love & your attitude) There is nothing wrong with compromise and there is nothing wrong with doing for another. You know this well. But where there is a problem is when someone distorts their true self to get it to fit a mold that will embrace the requirements of another.

Now this is always done when two people engage in courtship, there is always a kind of navigation that happens back and forth through dialogue and frequency about whose needs are going to be met, and how they are going to be shared, and where there are going to be compromises, and there is nothing wrong with that to the extent that everything is done in truth and consciousness.

When you abnegate your authority from a belief of fear—“He will leave me if I do this,” “She will not love me if she knows this,”

“I will not be allowed home if I tell her that I did that”- You are creating new constructs that have been born out of fear. And as you create out of fear, you create more fear. And this misaligns, misinterprets, and demands more fear.

Because that is the action of fear: to create fear.

So to the extent that you stay in your truth and you operate from your knowing, you can be in your choice, and per your integrity.

“Does this mean we never lie in our relationships?”

We are going to tell you this: You should never lie at all. Lying is always, without exception, based on control. And that control is born out of fear or selfishness, which is of course a creation of fear. So when you lie, you create a new structure, born in fear, that will then have to be untethered, uncreated, before it moves on and does more damage.

We will tell you this: A white lie is not white. It is a lie being disguised as something pretty. Now we will not tell you to be harmful. To say, “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to go out with you because I find you unattractive,” is not a nice thing to say, and there

There is no need to be directly blunt in that interaction. You can just as easily say, “I’m sorry, I’m not going out with you, I’m not available.”

You are not available. You are speaking the truth. However, if you say, “You know, I’d love to, but I’m really busy and I actually think I might be going on a trip that week,” you are being ridiculous and you are also being harmful. You are sending out an energetic construct to this other person that is born in deceit and asking them to accept that.

“How do we talk about the hard stuff in honesty when we are frightened of the ramifications of the results of the discussion?” How do you tell someone that you are leaving them in a way that is not harmful? How do you tell someone you do not feel in alignment with them to move forward in a relationship?

Now lying, of course, is not the appropriate way to be in a discussion. The way to be in discussion always is from an awareness of the Divine Self within you and within the partner, or the person, or the friend, or whoever you are discussing this with. When you can move into truth at this level and witness the divine perfection in that one that you see before you, you can begin to engage them on a level of divine truth. And the ego, which is that aspect of the self that would control, gets bypassed. You can be wonderfully honest in love and not in fear. This sounds hard, but in fact, the doing of it is very easy.

There are ways of having this discussion as well that are high, and not about fear and not about release. But if you can understand, please, that if there was deception in this relationship that supported the affair, then you have a big issue that has been undermined by a lie. So of course, if there had been honesty operating through the system of the relationship up through the ending and dissolution of it, the issue would not be that awful. It would be understood. And both parties would have had the opportunities to be in their awareness, to be in their congruence with their knowing, and then make choices higher than they would have if the cat was let out of the bag a year into a process of deception of a mate.

Do you understand the difference?

You are always trying to protect what you have, and sometimes the need to protect someone else’s feelings is extremely selfish. Now again we are not talking about a cruel discussion, is overly blunt, but to tell the truth in a loving way will support growth. To keep someone in a position of illusion, or of being disempowered in their own choices because they are being dealt with through deception, is much, much more difficult.

Partners

Now we will talk about something else for a minute.

And this is about knowing in terms of who you are with.

Signals are being exchanged between two people in any interaction. And when one person is speaking their truth, (their movie or opinion)and another person is navigating from a place of self-deception or deception of others, you have an incongruence in the merging of the energies.

If one person is saying, “I love you,” and another person is saying, “I love you too,” but really they want to run for the hills, that’s not a very healthy situation. If someone saying, “I love you but . . .” and the “but” goes unexpressed, it’s going to create a new energy.

And this is an energy that will build until it is addressed directly. So the point we want to make right now is, how you learn to talk with your partner, with your friend, with those close to you.

Pay attention to their energy, attitude, and yours.

Your feelings and emotions are your first clue, to deal with any relationship.

“I am now choosing to stand in my knowing and to speak only truth in my interactions. I am now choosing to know my truth and to honor my truth in all of my relationships. I am no longer willing to compromise my integrity for the sake of making someone else feel safe in their illusions, or feel better about themselves at the cost of a truth that needs to be told. I am learning now to heal the requirement to engage in deception on any level that presents itself in my life, and I am doing this through this intention.”

The responsibility now becomes yours. And please understand that as you go about your business and you feel inclined to engage in old patterns of deception, whatever they may be, you will feel very, very uncomfortable.

And this is the situation that causes it: When you bring about new behavior of any kind, the habituated self, and the self that believes that she requires the behavior, go into response and attempt to hold at bay the change that you would incur through the decree you have stated.

If you have always gone fishing on Sundays, you are used to getting the rod out and going over to the water, and throwing the pole and the line in. You do this naturally. If suddenly on a Sunday you learned you had to do something different, your body and your system would still be attracted to the old. It self-identifies as the old, and it believes itself to know itself through its behavior. So in aawareness in relationships funny way, we only mean to say that as you go forward and change, you will now have to deal with the consequences of those changes through periods of discomfort.

When you choose love, what comes to you is love. And if you have anything that stands in the way of your reception of love, any belief in unworthiness, undesirability, belief that you could not be loved for any reason at all, it will become clear to you.

Now understand this, this is extremely important:

Feelings

Self love

When something comes up in your consciousness, it is coming up to be addressed and cleared. To clear it, you have to accept it as it is: a creation, an embodiment of thought that you have made to fulfill a promise of your consciousness based on dictates that you inherited or ascribed to. “No one will ever love me the way I look” creates that situation. You know this and you perpetuate it. And you perpetuate it every time you look in a mirror and affirm that you are not lovable.

Now that is one way people create a system that will deprive them of love. However, the examples are so voluminous that we could not begin to list them here. It would take ten books in very small type to list the reasons people believe they could not be loved.

Half of wisdom is learning what to unlearn

Beliefs & Religion vs Spirituality

This goes back to the initial separation, that which you believe to be the Fall of Man, the disassociation of man from his Creator.

That belief that has been created that you are separate from, and apart from, and have to appease a Creator who is enraged by your existence, or your behavior, or your desiring of your knowledge. This is born in your collective consciousness, it is a way for you to be controlled, it is a way for you to continue to perpetuate your sense of loss, of separation, and unlovability.

“Who is God to love me when I am so bad?” That is the belief, at essence, that carries you through an existence of isolation from yourselves as the aspect of your Creator that would come into form through this work that we are giving you now.

“I am not worthy.” Do you understand this? This statement is a decree of truth. “I am not worthy.” As you state this, you create scenarios of unworthiness. And this has been done for you by systems that have stated, again and again and again, that you cannot be worthy. That if you were in conjoining with your own knowledge as an aspect of the Creator, you were doing something to be vilified for.

Religion has created a structure, in many ways, that supports people in moving towards their knowing with a caveat; and that caveat being, that when you move into knowledge, and with a capital “K,” Knowledge of what is true, you will be held back from the opening of the chamber where the majesty exists.

Imagine that you are in a bookstore or a library, with rows and rows of books of knowledge, and each one of them is fascinating and a great distraction for what lies beyond the secret door at the end of the hallway. What lies beyond the secret door at the end of the hallway is the vessel of the Christ in manifestation. And that is you in your knowing, you in your majesty, and you as the one who is working in your knowing as an aspect of God. Period.

All of the books on all of the shelves contain information, and they are helpful and they will support you, but they can also be a distraction and a way to deter you from accessing the truth. It’s like understanding that there is a book that will teach you how to spell when the words are there already and can be understood by you without accessing yourself through the intellect.

Now control as a system has its place. Some things need to be controlled. We don’t like it when you get a bug infestation. We don’t like it when somebody pushes everybody over in a line to get to the front. Those are things that are not very healthy and are about other things than what we speak of today. We speak of control right now as limitation and adherence to rules that state that you cannot know, and if you know, you will be harmed.

The punishment that has been incurred throughout time by people who have accessed knowledge has been amazing, if you think of it. And if you look throughout the Bible at the amount of persecution, and then you look at the amount of persecution that was stated through the Bible and through people’s perceptions of the Bible that have gone on ever since its writing, you will see that there are people, and there are systems at play, that would prevent

You from accessing your knowing.

Why? What happens if you know?

Breaking free of already installed belief systems, breaking free of the Matrix… What fits and what doesn't fit with the real you, from your inner heart, your soul…. That's why you need to know yourself, who are you at your soul level, the real you you. Not you ego personality.

What is so scary about your knowing that there would be entire systems created to support you in staying in your ignorance, or distractions entertaining enough to keep you asleep? So why would you want to wake up if you have everything you need? Because you have been told that there is nothing else to get. That is why.

And you have also been told that if you were to get it, if it were to come, you would have to pay the price in retribution.

You understand already that you are seeking knowledge. Now this is the chapter on constructs of control and the beliefs that you have that they are required for you. (Using the 5th Agreement)

Now you all engage systematically in behaviors that state that there are certain rules that you must adhere to. And we’re going to speak practically for a few moments.

There are certain paradigms that you accept as normal. There is behavior that you decide is eccentric, or sinful, or wrong, and the best way is to say it is these are all out-picturings of the suppression of individual consciousness. If one man decides to live a life that is not by the vehicles and the dictates of his community, he has choices. He stands in his authority, or he leaves the community and finds others like him. And this is the way that you have created separation among your fellows.

Now if a woman believes that her love is in the arms of another woman, and that woman is penalized for that belief, that belief then becomes an oppressive structure, and she has choices.

She can adhere to the obstruction of her consciousness that states, “I must listen to the voice of authority and change who I am,” or she must arise in power and state her claim in freedom, “I am who I am, and my body is my vehicle of my own expression. And who I share my body with in truth is in alignment with my own highest good and that is all there to say.”

Now if that is the truth of her statement, and her body is being shared with those who are for her highest good, where is the argument, and whose business is it to dictate anything? But once you understand that every example you can think of someone separating from a community has been based on control, you will be shocked at the way that this can manifest itself.

You are comprised of energy, and the man next to you, and the man next to you, and the man next to you are all comprised of the Creator in frequency, how can there be anything else but love? How can there be anything else but goodness manifested?

The controls that you have and that have been placed on man are responsible for individual distortions.

Understand this, please.

The child who has been raised in cruelty becomes cruel or becomes too afraid to operate in this world. And the reason the child was raised in cruelty had to do with someone else’s perception of control, or their requirements for releasing their rage upon someone else. All of these distortions that you have experienced in your own life were born out of control. Someone else’s fear. And fear is manifested through control, through action. And that has been what has distorted individual consciousness.

The teachings we are giving you in these lessons are large and small. We are speaking broadly about consciousness and we are speaking small about how to contend with your boyfriend. It doesn’t matter. The lesson is the same. You are in authority finally. You don’t believe you are. You don’t believe you are because you were told you were not. You were told you were not because if you knew who you were, you would be too powerful to be stopped in frequency.

You understand that Moses parted the sea. He knew who he was in consciousness.

If you want to feel something, state this intention: “I am now choosing to know myself in my power, in my full realization of my divinity.”

You are that thing. Somebody told you a long time ago that if you were, you would be in trouble, and you have diminished yourself accordingly. And you have done this through group agreement and through systems that remind you on a moment-by-moment basis that you are being controlled.

The actions you take will be required of you at a soul level. Period.

A soul level means your soul knows already what she is here for, and how she is to make a difference. Now this does not mean you quit your job or you become a healer. It means that you Know. Capital K. “I am in my Knowing.” And as you operate from your knowing as an aspect of God in body interacting with material matter and individuals in frequency, you are knowing what you need to do. We are all eternal balls of energy in a temporary body.

Stop playing dumb. Stop feeling inferior. Stop feeling unworthy of your Creator. Every time you reinforce those things, those beliefs, you go into darkness, because you go into agreement with a level of control that seeks to retain its power over you.

Do you understand this? This is so important.

Each way you find to diminish yourself promises you that you have gone into agreement with an aspect of the self that is by keeping the lid on the pot.

The lid is off the pot; you are free the moment you realize you are. “I am free in my Knowing. I am free in my understanding of myself. As you do this, you wake up.

As you are awakened, you see what is around you, and you act on what you see. And you make changes in your consciousness that will transform your world. As your world is transformed, the whole world changes into light.

That is the action of the time. The matrix of fear and control will leave when enough of us say: “I see you for what you are. It is a lie that I am not powerful. I am in my truth. Knowing who I am and that I am free.

Freedom, Awareness & Beliefs

You are free at a moment’s notice to give up an attachment to negative frequency on any day or night. You are the one in charge of your knowing regardless of what you think and regardless of the messages that you have inherited culturally or through mandates that you have accepted to be true because you were not able to see outside the box, as it were. So freedom for you, quite simply, means, “Am I outside of the box? What is the box?

And where do I go with it?”

“Isn’t that more work in awareness?”

And absolutely it is. More work on awareness is required.

However, you cannot get out of a box until you know you are in one. So how about this? As you go about your day, identify in a moment-by-moment understanding of where you are in your box. Where are you operating out of ascribed behavior and not in your freedom? Now we'll tell you this again:

You are always in your freedom. But we are saying, where have you believed that your freedom had a wall around it? Where have you believed that you would be punished if you overstepped a boundary?

Now we are not talking about breaking laws, and we are not talking about defying somebody, because that is not necessarily an expression of freedom. It might very easily simply be an expression of aggression.

And robbing a bank is not about being in your freedom. It’s about a belief in lack that you are not being supplied with what you need, so it is an action born out of fear and cannot be high frequency. But if you have created constructs throughout the day that are creating a box for you, see that they are there and then decide in that moment that you are no longer bound by their expression. Period.

Now freedom as we speak of it begins in consciousness. Can you believe for a moment what it would feel like not to be frightened of anything? Can you imagine that for a moment? How amazing would that be?

Now the fear structures that have contained you are all about control, and as you know already, control is born out of fear. So how you begin to identify the fears that are keeping you from your freedom is an exercise that we would like to take you in.

This is familiar to many people, but:

Becoming aware is a process. And writing on a piece of paper everything that frightens you that you can imagine will be an exercise for you to see how much of your time and energy is invested in protecting yourself from fear or worrying about what could happen. So make the list. Let it be a long list. Let it include the silly things, the radical things, and the things that you might feel ashamed of. But then write it down and see it before you. This also demands focus and the use of trying again and again and again. If you become lazy you will fail more often.

Now then, what you will do is you will look at it and see it for what it is: an out-picturing of your consciousness, a map of those things that are tethering you to fear.

Freedom, we will tell you, is freedom from fear. Understand this, please. Freedom is freedom from fear. When you are operating from your fear, you are not free. And ninety percent of how you operate is unconscious and much of it is motivated by fear.

You have all been endowed with the ability to choose.

Choice is an aspect and a by-product and an activity of the function of will, and will begins in consciousness. What you choose is what you choose is what you choose. Period.

Now the center of the will, as you expect it to be, is in operation as you go about your business and make choices. “I know what I am doing, I am in my will,” and that is very, very true. And on that level, we have already taught you that you must be accountable for the choices that you make and ask yourself bluntly, “Where are they coming from? Am I moving into my freedom? Am I aware of my choice as freedom, or am I acting on a basis of control or fear that I have inherited and acclimated to?” We have spent time on this and we expect that this is understood by you at this juncture.

Now when we talk about will, we are also talking about higher will. And once you understand where you operate from on a day-to-day level in your choices, you can begin to shift the focus of your will to align it to the higher vibration and the higherwill and divine will frequency so that your will, which means what you choose, moves into congruence with the will of Source.

“Does this mean that Source has a will that we are expected to act from?”

Not really. That would be an oversimplification and also discredit you as one who is capable of choosing your choices. But to be in congruence implies alignment and your will in congruence with higher frequency brings your will up into a handshake, as it were, with the higher levels of choice that are available to you. To see with God's eyes not your ego eyes.

The self-description that you take on becomes who you are. It is about requiring yourself now to move out of that system of external decision-making based on others’ constructs and begin to align with a higher frequency. “I am in my knowing of what I am.”

We want to bring it to you each in a way that you can operate with. And the way that we would like to do this is with a mirror, a physical mirror, that you will now sit before. We want you to see what you see when you stare at your face in the mirror: “I am seeing myself as reflected back in form. And the picture that I see is made up of images that I am viewing with my eyes.” How do you see yourself in the mirror? “My hair is too this.” “I have nice that.” “My teeth are a little this.” “My cheeks are a little that.” All of the “this and that” that you are now is based on someone else’s ideal of who you are. You have not made your own decision about any of this. If you were living in a culture where everybody’s nose was big and the nose was being celebrated, you would say, “My nose is great.” But because you have been systematized to a certain aesthetic principle, you ascribe to what has been given to you.

So right now, accept the fact that what you see in the mirror is you, but how you perceive yourself, how you decide yourself, is very much based on external information that has something to do with you. Nothing. Why would you believe it?

And if you can see right now that this is the level of agreement that you have gone into with cultural approval and systematized beliefs, you would change it in a second if you could. Can you? Yes. You are.

You are changing these beliefs right now as you begin to monitor them and see them for what they are.

Control

This is all about control. If you did not need a little nose, there would be a lot of plastic surgeons out of work. If your body didn’t need to conform to a certain set of criteria, there would be a lot of doctors out of work prescribing things to make you look slender. If you can understand right now that the group thought has created this, and you can separate from group thought, you will be blessed.

Now your physical attributes are a shallow way to bring you into this instruction about identity and knowing. However, your experience of yourselves is still shallow, so we will start on the surface and work our way in.

The first challenge you will face is in being, just being, allowing yourself to be without the influence of external response through choice. Now this is a big deal. If you were to walk down the street and have an experience fully of your own where you were the one decider, you would know yourself fully. But so much of your experience to date has been informed by what you have been told. So we tell you now, the choice to listen to yourself clearly, in a new way. Your willingness is always key. We have devoted a chapter to will with the intention for you to understand that when your will is in congruence with the higher frequency of true love.

So we are culprits only in that we agree that the will of the group (organization or institution) can command and create wondrous change. However, what we are doing with you is moving you out of a discipline based on adherence to public, cultural, and planetary norms that seek to control you and to limit you. And when we say deception, we want to talk about certain things and ways that people adhere to things culturally that they think are for their benefit, and are not.

Now we want to talk about prescribed behavior for a moment, and what is appropriate and what is inappropriate. And this is a simple example for you to know: If someone passes gas in a restaurant, that is not necessarily inappropriate. But the amount of shame or discomfort that person might feel as opposed to celebrating the fact that he has a wonderful body that is doing what it needs to do is simple. And you can all understand through that silly example that we all have behaviors that you ascribe to and that we adhere to to out of public agreement.

We will say this: The ideal of political correctness was born out of a place of unity, but it has created division and it is being used again as a tool of separation. And language, we want to say to you, is one of your primary ways that you can transform. “If I am not inclusive in my language, I must be doing something wrong,” or “If I am oppressing someone through my language, I must be terrible.” Guess what, everyone? Choose your words well. In consciousness, believe it or not, much of what you believe to be separation disappears automatically, and creating divisions based on political correctness that are about idealizing things can cause trouble.

Your goal is to reprogram your beliefs to achieve freedom from fear. Free will is our right to make our own decisions. When we behave as a warrior, by using our free will, we have a second chance to choose what to believe. The problem we face is that our old belief system penetrates our entire mind. When we make our first review of our belief system, we do not see any space for new beliefs, but we make space for new beliefs each time we transform an existing belief. The inventory is a very old practice from the Toltecs. It is a recapitulation of your whole life, of whatever has happened to you. It allows you to let go of all those beliefs that create the dream of hell. An inventory is not an examination of conscience. There is no Judge nor Victim. It is a review of feelings.

Emotional Love

Now your love, on an emotional level, is something we would like to talk about briefly. We have told you already that love is a frequency. But when you become “in love” in an emotional way that requires attachment, you bring to this situation your history of love, and that which you have experienced up until this moment. And that includes any history that has not been loving or supportive of the self in relations.

Imagine that you are a pipe and you are looking to hook your pipe up to another pipe. But what runs through your pipe is a lot of negativity based on previous experience. You have to clear the pipe out, as it were, so you don’t pollute the new relationship with your old experience. This is the example you always use: You have someone who is in love with someone else, but they have a terrible history of relationships and they bring all of that history them, to the new relationship, which then does not support the healing and the support of the evolution of the new relationship in a healthy way.

So what we have to do right now is understand that there is a way to heal emotional history. And emotional history, we will say, can be seen as a tree that runs through your body and your energy field. All of these things that you have attached yourself to we can say are like apples hanging on this tree. And we would like you to use this visualization to begin to clear them:

“I am now choosing to release all of the creations that I hold that are impacting my ability to have a loving relationship with another. I am now choosing to release established patterns that contain me in historical pain, in fear, or in ways that do not align with my demonstrating a healthy and loving relationship. I am now choosing to do this by my own highest good, and I am living my life in my love. Through this intention.

Now if you would imagine, all of the apples are coming off the tree. Now if you don’t want to use apples, you can use any image you like. But the demonstration we are trying to teach you is, those are things that have been created that you hold that are obstructing your ability to be in love in a healthy and healing way. And we will tell you this: As you see what these things are, you can begin to work with them in frequency. (attitude)

We have given you the image of a river and we have talked to you about boulders and tree trunks and things that stop you on your path. This is more of the same. And we tell you this: If you are walking along a path at night, sometimes you stumble across something and it stops you and you don’t know what it is. And your flashlight might not illuminate the object to the degree that you require to see it fully for what it is. But if you wait a few hours, the sun will shine, you can see it in its wholeness, and you can clear it through this intention.

Emotions

When we talk about love today, we want to talk about it a little bit differently. And we want to talk about emotions for a small time, and what emotions really are. We have spoken about them before and we have told you that emotions are ways you know who you are.

You know how you feel through what you are experiencing emotionally. And we want to talk about the transformation of emotion. Now this is important. People believe, still, that if they suppress an emotion that they don’t feel is a healthy one, they are doing healing and Christ consciousness something spiritual. “I am not angry because I am not allowed to be angry because that is not spiritual,” or “I should not be grieving because I know there is a heaven, so I should just be happy that my friend has moved on,” or whatever you would like to say. Now denial of the emotions creates disease. That’s very, very simply put. And moving through the emotions to allow them to be transformed is a vehicle for healing. But you cannot identify what you have suppressed unless you are willing to go there. Now we do not want to spend a great deal of time going back through your histories to identify trauma. That is not our work here. All healing happens in this present moment. All healing happens in this present moment now. And that includes trauma that you may have incurred when you were two years old. The healing that still happens in the now. To re-see it differently… When we work with frequency, we are bypassing time, as you understand it. So if you were traumatized at the age of two, you can go back to that time and state this intention:

“Through the knowing of myself as safe and perfect and I am healed in this moment of that which occurred.” And you are activating the self at cell memory to release that which has been held at that time. That which was created then that still exists in frequency today can be accessed and transformed.

But back to the present: Today you are walking around and you are angry or you are worried or you are ashamed. What do you do with these feelings as they emerge, and how do you contend with them in this system that we have been offering you? We would like to tell you that the quickest way to work is to move into acceptance of what you feel.

Do not suppress. Allow the emotion to arise and to become what it wants to be in its expression, but then understand, please, what is motivating you emotionally. What are you attached to? Why are you feeling this way? Become aware. At that level, you can begin to work on discordances that have manifested in these emotional responses.

For example: You are walking down the street and you trip and you fall and people look at you and you feel ashamed. What is the response of shame? What is shameful about falling? Everyone’s done it. Why do you need it?

We have talked about emotions as ways that you identify the self as who you are. You feel a certain way, so you decide that this must be a certain thing that you have an attraction to, or are repelled by, or whatever you like. But you systematize yourself based on your emotional responses. But you still don’t always know how much of your emotional response is authentic to you and how much of it is inherited or taught intellectual information.

“If I see someone like that do something like that, I should feel like that.” That is taught behavior. That is what you have gained by being in a collective agreement. So you might as well begin now to learn what you truly feel and not what you think you should feel.

And then you can work with your emotions more effectively. But how do you work with them on a day-to-day level to support the self in maintaining high frequency? We have already told you that your consciousness is your frequency. And it is your obligation, finally, to keep your frequency high. So claiming through what you feel will support you in realigning your feelings to the higher frequency. This, believe it or not, will influence your frequency response into the energetic bodies that correlate to the emotions and the mind. That is how it works.

Intention, Attention & Attitude

Where you put your attention is what you will create with and that becomes your truth.

We would like you to understand that, as you always know yourself in the physical self, you can always know the self in your frequency. But to do this, you need to bypass again the intellect that would shut down the sense that you can be larger in your experience. As you get in the habit of working this way what happens is that you expand your consciousness and then the intellect accepts it.

Healing requires an examination of the emotions and suppressed emotions can be creative in harming the systems that could then manifest in disease. However, the heart that has been broken can be healed, and the one that you would blame for the heartbreak has been your teacher in love.

We all have choices we make. And the first thing you always need to remember is that you can elect to have an emotional response that is by your higher knowing. If you bypass lower frequencies, that does not mean you are in denial of them.

Not at all. If you elect a new response, you are choosing how you want to contend with an emotional situation. People believe that certain responses are required of them. They are expected. And not only do they go into them, they perpetuate them, because those patterns that can be based in fear will often seek to self-perpetuate. This is the downward spiral that some people experience, or the grief that does not release. You can easily become attached to pain and the comfort of it, and it’s not required.

We are speaking with you today about healing and Christ consciousness transforming patterns in manifestation so that your life can then begin to reflect the choices that you would make from the higher frequency you have been attuned to.

But as you realign to this understanding of your perfection, the mirror that you stand before will be transformed. And not to make you resemble something you think you should be, but to show you the manifestation of who you are in truth.

We would like to remind you that the energy that you are is of God, and what is out-pictured in that mirror finally is the aspect of God that you are in form having an experience here on this plane. Your justification for how you have treated yourself in the past is not a claim to the future behavior that you can incur through the choice to live in joy in the physical form that you stand in. You are only temporarily using the body as a learning tool.

Now our requirements for you in this are about choice and form and understanding your lives as your responsibility.

The work of this has not been about healing as much as it has been healing and about transformation of consciousness. And as we have explained to you, as your consciousness is transformed, the healing occurs as a default response to the new awareness you have come to. This is what happens when you lay claim to your own divinity, to your true self.

Now romance. Let’s talk about this for a moment. It’s an ideal.

And we want to understand the benefit of it if you can understand that love, as a frequency, holds romance, but that romance itself is an idealization that is primarily based in desire and the ideal of longing.

We are not bypassing true love as it has been expressed in the storybooks, we are simply reminding you that you detail things by prescribed patterns that may or may not serve you. So we would ask you each, at this time, to elevate your consciousness to a broad sense of true love to incorporate all and everyone that you see before you. There are such things, of course, as soulmates and there are those people that you have gone into agreement with to learn and to share from.

But please understand, everyone, that your dictate that something should last forever is primarily a construct born out of fear of losing something.

What is true in love is everlasting and that will always be the case.

You all have choices. You all have responsibilities and the requirements of this time, very, very simply, are that you become conscious of them.

The degree to which this new attitude will be established within you, within your energy frequency, and brought into form through your actions will be by using the 4th Agreement It is through these actions that the work completes itself. After each doubt or failure with your attention and intention you can stay in love's frequency. Practice, repeat, imprinting this new attitude into your subconscious to make it habit…. What we would like to say is that what you know as fear has been an agreement to be fearful. When you stop agreeing to be fearful, you stop aligning to fear—agreement to the new attitude or frequency.

Life, you see, is creation in action.

Your dominion is to claim your world.

But if you claim it as a small self, you incur what the small self needs to learn, and you perhaps will learn through it in a low or a high way. But when you claim as the True Self, you claim love, you claim freedom, you claim truth, and its manifestation will teach you in wonder.

True freedom is the requirement of the Divine Self, who has released the need to conform to institutional policy, rhetoric, decisions made for him or her by others that would limit the soul’s true expression. It is the release from all the alignment that you have confirmed by nature of being born in a field corrupt with fear that you have enjoyed and agreed to.

The freedom that we speak of is the freedom of and from fear and all those things that it has wrought. And the realization of the True Self in manifestation, as who and what he is, is the equivalent to the rising of the Divine Self as a resurrected being. Understand the word resurrection. She is announced, he is announced, as the Divine Self in realignment to his true inheritance, her true nature. The Divine as you has come. She is here, he is here, and you say, “Yes, I am here, and I have come.”

Now the small self would seek to acclimate this teaching to her personal needs. The small (ego)self would like to say, “Well, I always knew I was God. Why didn’t anybody agree to me when I said I was?

People should be doing what I say. Now, they have to.” That is the claim of a fool and one who seeks to decide that her divinity is a pin she wears for others to admire.

The Divine Self, the true self, as we have said many times, could care less what anybody thinks of him or her. She is free. She is not operating from the dictates of fashion or culture or equivalence that she may have inherited, depending on where she was born and in what year.

The true self as what you are will not be appropriated by the small self.

In some ways, you may say, there is a mechanism that has been lifted to support this happening, and that mechanism will go back into place when you decide to appropriate a teaching such as this for the small self’s aims. (Use the Agreements)

We will explain this. “I am a divine being” is a claim of truth. Word and belief is self power, true power. You may say this at any moment and it will always be so. And your resonance as this vibration, (your tone, your attitude) the one who knows who she is, will be met with a life in consort to the holding of the high field to which the individual attitude is.

That he thinks he is because he Knows.

Now when the True Self manifests in form, he does so at a cost. The ego identity that’s been held that was structured in history, agreed to in fear, must be re-known. And the passage you all undergo as a requirement of this teaching is the releasing of the old self. This does not mean there is not a ego small self. It means you are not seeking its confirmation. You are not dictating your life in its mandates, and its mandates have been all historical information that you have agreed was true. Your are minimizing the ego, a lifelong struggle and quest.

“You intention of a new attitude” renders this as what it is—ideas, thoughts, fears, appropriations in history that you have assumed to be yourselves. When you know the what—“I know what I am in truth”—even the physical self, the Divine Self in form which is the truth of your being, must undergo a passage. It is not a passage you would imagine, and it is not a passage in identification. It is apassage in physical reality. The assumption of the True Self as what you are in manifestation must reclaim the body in a very different way than you would assume. It can no longer align to fear, or the genetics you believe you have that cannot be transformed or realized in a higher way.

The principle of humanity as being static—the form that you have taken will always be the form you know yourselves in throughout history—is being rendered new. If the species itself is in transformation, the acquisition of what you are, the Divine in form, must be party to this. To understand this, you need to realize that God, or what you might call God, is in all manifestation, but has been ignored as such. As you say, “Yes, this is what I am,” and you move into this agreement, form itself is divinized, is known as what it truly is and can only be.

The fabric of your life, as has been chosen by you in the past, must be made new for the new to claim itself in form and field.

Everything before you that you have chosen in fear must now be responded to in a higher octave. You say you want this development, but you are too afraid to leave the choices of the past. You say you want transformation, but your idealization of what transformation is actually prohibits the actions that might give it to you. You say you want love, but you run from it because you can’t understand that your agreement to be here in form also gives you the right to claim yourself as worthy of love. The Divine as what you are, the manifest self, knows what she is, and she is not afraid of love. The Divine as what you are, manifest in form, is not afraid of change. Why would he be? The Christ has come as each of you.

Now we will tell you what this really means. The aspect of the Creator instilled in you at the conception of your soul in realization and full expression is the Christed Self, or the Resurrection, if you wish to call it that. The Resurrection comes at the cost of what has been claimed and identified through in a fear-based way. You cannot collude with fear, you cannot embrace fear, you cannot direct othersin fear and expect to know the Kingdom. We have taught this prior, but we must say it again. The Kingdom is the purview and the inheritance of the True Self. The small self cannot exist there, simply because she cannot align to it. She is not being punished by not stepping into the Kingdom. She still has too many bags that she refuses to release that would grant her entrance if she released them. The real resurrection is when each of us wakes up to the ego and changes to God's thought system of Love.

The True Self as what you are—underline what—carries no baggage.

Unlearning

So much of our work with you has been in re-identification—“I know who I am” as the True Self—in order for this to occur. But you still insist in claiming the old names. “I am the one who was hurt,” “who was damaged,” “who is angry,” “who doesn’t want to deal with anything that he doesn’t want to deal with.” And then you say, “Well, I guess I am not a Divine Self after all. Look at the mess I’m in.”

The mess you claim yourselves in is simply separation from your true identity. Knowing your true identity does not release you from the requirements of your past choices. It is not a free ticket to go murder someone and then remember who you are and assume you are off the hook. You are still claiming the ramifications of past choice, and you will continue to, but the good news is that as you rise above the level of claim that was present when those choices were made, you no longer align to them, and, consequently, even the repercussions will become transformed.

Now when you idealize a future, you decide that all of those things you don’t like today will not be there. “I will have a lovely life when the children are out of the house.” “I will have a lovely life when I get to retire.” “I will have a lovely life when everybody agrees with me and I am in charge of everyone.” You will be waiting a very long time for that one. It will not happen.

But what you are truly saying is that you have opportunities here and now to know yourself in the true way that we speak to—through your children, with your job, and with an entire community who doesn’t want to agree with you, and perhaps for good reason. The realization of the True Self comes at the cost of the known, and the realization at the cost of the known renders past choices as released because you don’t need them anymore. When you no longer need the approval of your community, you are in fact free of it. And because you no longer need the approval, you are no longer serving it out of fear, or seeking to appease or be approved of for being who you think you should be.

The idealization of a future that has the things you don’t like excluded may in fact be something that comes, but in most cases you will discover that your relationship to those very things is what has been transformed, and because the relationship to them has changed, because in the higher octave in choice you are not aligning to fear, you release those things by natural or mutual accord that no longer serve anyone.

The release of the old paves the way for the new to be in its expression—and by expression we mean manifestation— and the alignment that is required for this level of manifestation must come in increments for the field and the form to be able to align to them in full expression.

We underline the word full expression. We are not speaking in half measures. “I am eternal energy” This is not about feeling anything. This is simply about the level of octave and manifestation that you realize yourselves through… Knowing

The idealization of form, which we have been teaching for some time—this is a chair because you have been taught it was a chair, when perhaps it could be called something else and perhaps known in a new way—was the beginning of a teaching of re-formation. The idea that everything that has been created can be re-created in a higher way is this teaching.

So the fabric of reality is far more fluid than you know, and, as you claim things into form by your agreement to them, you reinforce the history that they have carried. Do you understand this? “My mother said that was a chair and her favorite chair. I know that chair as her favorite chair.” And you claim it as such, and you reinforce it in vibration. How you hold anything in witness, or anyone, actually informs the one you see with the level of consciousness you hold.

The realization of the Divine in another expressing themselves before you aligns you to them in a higher vibration, and the phenomena he sees is exactly what is happening in the higher realm that the physical eye has not been participating with because he was told it could not be so. Do you understand this? You must see through Gods eyes merging your intentions, your thoughts with Gods mind.

There is much more happening in this room than any of you can see, and the history of this room and all who have been in it are here as well in one way or another, because their consciousness, through witness, impressed themselves upon it.

You are participating in history every time you leave your house and you walk upon a road that may have been walked for thousands of years. Do you understand that? The memory of the walk and the pavement and the earth underneath the pavement is still present from all of those who witnessed it. As you confirm history, you make it so.

As you confirm the divine nature of all things, you claim that into being as well, and your experience will transform. By seeing it at a higher octave. Do you understand this? Your attitude, intentions, thoughts and feelings. You choose these no matter what happens. You control your response.

To realize the True Self means to be unafraid of what you have done, or has been done to you, because everything can be comprehended as opportunities to learn.

The debasement of the self in some ways comes when you start agreeing to what is not true because it’s more convenient, easier for you. And self-justification, we would say, is always the small self seeking to be right. When you release that need, the need to be right and for another to be wrong, you move toward a kind of liberation in your relationships. You are no longer bartering for who is right. You are no longer playing games of power. You are no longer deciding that your well-being is dependent upon another’s behavior. Nobody has to be right, nobody has to be wrong, but everybody has the right to be.

The quality of your lives, in some ways, has a great deal to do with your own authenticity of being and the integrity that you live with, and by integrity we mean your availability to truth, regardless of the consequences. “Well, I told a lie. I wish I hadn’t said it. I will not do it again.” Although the lie that you told may be hurting people in the ramifications of the act you claim, to take accountability for the lie places you in your integrity, regardless of the outcome, and allows you the freedom to act in a new way. If you are busy covering your tracks, you will never learn.

The idealization of who others should be to you must be understood now. Everyone you meet is there for you to meet, and whatever your encounter is will be informed by who you think they are. To move from thinking to knowing is much of the passage of this text, because in your knowing you are undefined by the qualities that would keep you in separation. You are unbound by the tethers that have been significant in limiting your expression.

So as you realize yourself, and you realize the one before you, you claim them outside of the known, which must include the quality of the relationships you have had thus far, which are once again informed by history. Let’s look at history for a moment. Your idea of what happened is all that history is, at least in your own experience of it. “He was nice to me yesterday, I expect he will be nice to me today” would be a simple example about how you predicate behavior from someone else, based upon the moment you stand in, by what you call to you from the past through ideas.

Past

History is an idea. We are not saying that things don’t happen. We are not saying the earth is flat or round, although at different times people believed both those things and assumed that they were in truth. You believe you are on a plane now that is a planet bound by energy, but in fact where you are is in vibration, and as you realize that, the realization of what the world is in vibratory fields, or in octaves, begins to be understood by you outside of the claims of history.

You know where you stand because you know the place on the map that was named by someone who decided the name long before you were born. You give their inheritance credence when you walk upon the road that they have named. When you decide that the only name of any town is the place you are, that the only bridge that you cross is between two ideas of landscape, you move beyond claims of history to realization and to knowing.

“If I am on Main Street, I am on Main Street. If the bridge crosses to the next town, I am now in the next town.”

You are only on Main Street because you are agreeing to that history. If somebody hid the sign, you would be on a street with noname. The bridge was built to allow passage between two landmasses. They are now known as towns. These towns were named by people through heredity, through the culture or time the town was initiated. You carry that history with you when you see the town by going into accord to it. This is a very simple teaching. There is nothing wrong with the name of the town, but it is history that you are confirming by agreeing to it. In your relations, certainly things happen.

People weep in a fight. “He is the man who made me weep, she is the one who made me angry” are ideas you have about perhaps who you are in coordination with the behavior of another. When you look at history in a larger way, in landscape or field, you begin to understand that if you were not naming history, your experience of wherever you are might be very different, and your interactions with anyone would be very different as well.

Now we are not saying things don’t happen. Perhaps the man made you weep, perhaps the woman made you angry. That is not the issue here. The issue here is your definition of them through past acts or behavior that are primarily informed by your own ideas, or prescriptions, or intent to interpret behavior or what you would call history as what you want it to be. In fact, everything you see in every interaction can be interpreted in many ways. The man who made the woman weep meant to make her happy. The man that got angry meant to feel like a fool, and now look what he has done. The intent may not be what you think, but you experience the ramifications of the actions through your ideas of what is happening, or what happened historically between the two of you.

When you realize the real you and you bring it to any interaction, it’s not that you eradicate history, but you stop deciding based upon it in the awareness that the True Self knows and the small self’s interpretation of any incident is informed by the history one holds. “He looked at me that way. My father looked at me that way once. I won’t be seen as my father saw me.” And you claim the history of prior relations in the present-day encounter, perhaps to the detriment of the relationship.

When the True Self encounters you, he actually encounters you beyond the boy who was scolded by his father to see the Divinebeing who was present then, at that time in history, and is present now, and will always be present. We don’t negate the boy who was frightened by his father’s anger. We realize the divine presence of the one we see before us, and in that intention of the higher attitude, you realize them, which means know them beyond the history that they are operating with or you are attempting to inform them with as a small self.

The True Self expressing as you does not operate through history. But, like anything else, the True Self may know the consequence of past behavior and, consequently, direct you to new opportunities. This will only happen if you are not deciding in history what you should do, or they should do, or how you should be with one another.

Your interpretation of any event has been informed by you through the mirror that you have held, seeking to reflect what you want to see, or given the interpretation you assume it should have. So whatever the mirror says, whatever is reflected back to you, is actually claimed in some ways through a faulty lens born in history. “I was ridiculed as I was a child. Now that I am an adult, I expect to see ridicule.” There is no ridicule, except the one the man expects to see, and he will encounter it if he intends to.

We have given you this teaching prior—it is the teaching of the frame. The individual holds a frame of an idea of who he or she is, and then seeks to fill it in their experience. This is how the small self manifests, but it is also how the True Self operates. When the lens that is being presented, or the mirror that is being held high for reflection, is not tainted by history, you will know what is so. You will not seek to confirm what you would have confirmed to have your ideas about the world proved right. Your ideas about the world are just what they are—ideas. While there is nothing wrong with ideas, you do understand the difference of realization and knowing, and holding an idea to what something can be, or perhaps should be, or even better yet, what was.

You must understand that you are not fear, and fear is not you. “I am fearful or full of fear” may be a descriptor that you would use to say what you are or how you are investing in an idea of yourself, but it is also not saying that you are bfear. Fear is a distinct energy from the True Self, and, as we have said many times, at the level of the True Self, fear does not exist.

“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”

― Buddha

Developing Key Skill Sets

Feelings are key, self love-self strength, awareness

Self Reflection, Self Respect, Balance - Code of Conduct

Typically we are defensive, emotional reactions(outbursts)—i.e., ego barriers—stand in the way of this progress. Words/actions of anger, frustration, blaming or accusing, judging, pride, jealousy, right or wrong, defending their actions, etc… Drama

It is a fundamental law of nature that to evolve one has to push one’s limits, which is painful, in order to gain strength or wisdom.

Pain + Reflection = Progress = emotional education and control….

People who blame bad outcomes on anyone or anything other than themselves are behaving in a way that is at variance with reality and subversive to their progress.

Realizing that you are the one who is responsible to yourself.

The most important thing is that you keep moving forward, recognizing the consequences of your actions. And that you will make mistakes.

However, you will never handle them all well: mistakes are inevitable, and it’s important to recognize and accept this fact of life. Blaming bad outcomes on anyone or anything other than one’s self is essentially wishing that reality is different than it is, which is silly.

Suspend your ego and take a no-excuses approach to achieving your goals with open-mindedness, determination, and courage.

Especially if you rely on the help of your partner who may be strong in areas that you are weak, or see your weaknesses.

Foundation Skills

*Awareness

See mastering awareness note

Having self-awareness & self-control of your desires, thoughts, feelings, behavior; that is REAL Power.

Behavior Reveals the Reality of your Choice. Your life reveals what your underlying beliefs and attitudes must be. The unconscious mind follows the conscious mind.(habits live in the unconscious.) After time it will become habit. When we don’t think our unconscious mind/habits or instincts take over. So whatever your attitude is about a subject, your habits will come through by way of your intentions and actions that you have adopted.

This is a “higher level thinking” because your perspective is that of one who is looking down on at yourself objectively. (If you have a partner, use your partners feedback.)

In other words, your most important role is to step back and design, operate and improve yourself. Recognize your weaknesses and design around them. You can pursue anything you desire-just make sure that you know the consequences of what you desire are and what you are doing;

More important when confronting your partner is self-confrontation, is that a person admit to their own motivations & actions in any of the areas discussed.

You should be self-aware in the present moment. This includes self-awareness of your interpretations, emotions, desires, and behavior. Was this done in love of self or love of another, love of money, love of material things or power. What was my motive or agenda? Is it because of my upbringing and my own biases, my ego, etc..... Often each partner have expectations that are skewed or selfish.

     Admit you’re part of the problem in the discussion.

Learn that each mistake is probably a reflection of something that I was (or others were) doing wrong, so if I could figure out what that was, I could learn how to be more effective.

Could I have done it better or was I wrong? Man is capable of reflecting on himself and the things around him to learn and adapt in order to improve. By becoming aware of the unreality within yourself—that is, by seeing how untrue your concepts have been and perhaps still are-you may glean a momentary recognition of reality, of its totally different quality and steadfast character.

The ability to live in the comparative reality accessible to you as human beings depends on your maturity, mental as well as emotional.

Maturity, in turn, depends on your capacity and willingness to love. The more you are afraid of love, unwilling and thus unable to love, the more you live in unreality, or illusion.

A big problem is finding out why you resist in finding your wrong inner habits. The prohibition against allowing the flow of all feelings into your conscious mind is due to, first, fear of imperfection; second, fear of having to shed attitudes that supposedly protect one from hurts; and, third, insistence on remaining a child because then others are responsible for your needs, your happiness, and your safety.

The most important agreements are the ones you made with yourself. In these agreements you tell yourself who you are, what you feel, what you believe, and how to behave.

The true and constructive way of searching within yourself must uncover many errors, many wrong conclusions, many faults and faulty attitudes. But you will encounter them without a trace of guilt. There is only one way to find the real self that you are so ardently looking for in your work.

First become aware of the forcing current, the current of “I want” on the one hand, and “I fear that I will not get what I want” on the other. Once you are clearly aware of how this current manifests in you, you will be able to let go of it. Then, and then only, can you give it up. If you do that again and again, soon you are bound to become aware of the feelings of your real self which slowly rise to the surface after you have banned them in fear for such a long time. You did not trust them; therefore you could not trust yourself. You can reverse that process only by becoming aware and then removing the element that you substituted.

With the proper attitude, you accept your inadequacies and face up to them. In the world of Utopia you do not. It is not sufficient that you accept these words intellectually; you have to experience them in yourself.

Simply shift your thinking to a deeper level and apply it to the knowledge you have found. Try to see how your images limit your perception, your determination and your love capacity. Try to see how the faulty perception, responsible for the images, squeezes you into a very limited mold, no matter what you consciously think and strive for. If you ponder your images from this angle, you will clearly see how your consciousness is diminished, and how your feeling of being alive is reduced.

¥KEY POINT>~

“To become a master of our emotions, thoughts, and feelings” (which is how we master our energy, which is how we master our environment, which is how we master our destiny.)

This can all be taught to kids and teens

It’s the unseen inner world, the inner self which we do not teach our kids enough of.

We focus too much on the outer world and our outer personality, our outer goals.

Life, and true reality is the inner world. Love merged with Wisdom is key.

Start with recognizing the emotional triggers and the 4 Agreements

Know Yourself

Among the many lessons to be learned, include patience, tolerance, and the ability for the light touch.

watch your thoughts, they become words

words, become actions,

actions, become habit

habits, become character

character, becomes your destiny

The combined action of character, ability, and purpose becomes our mental attitude. Life consists of your desires which are the same as your loves.

Power is energy that is formed by the intentions of the spirit; it is Light shaped by the intentions of love and compassion guided by wisdom.

There will be many failures, just keep trying.

The more you establish your own inner connections between your daily life experiences and your attitudes, the more deeply you will understand that there are no arbitrary coincidences. Your life experiences stand in direct relationship to you, to who you are now, to what you express and what you deliberately or inadvertently create. You do not have to become perfect; you are perfect, in a sense, when you can calmly face, acknowledge, and come to terms with your present imperfection. There is no way around what has accumulated in you and has tainted any of the outlooks you hold. This can be eliminated only by feeling what you hoped you could avoid feeling.

Integrity

Our integrity is who we really are, the totality of our own self.

Those who are ruling their lives by the Book of Law, have the illusion of integrity, but they don’t really have it.

• Every time they reject themselves, it’s a lack of integrity. Every time they believe they are not perfect, it’s a lack of integrity.

• Every time they suffer

• Every time they get jealous or angry or envious,

• Every time they create a drama, they are going against themselves, and it’s a lack of integrity.

We recover our integrity when we are impeccable with our word

The quality of your lives, in some ways, has a great deal to do with your own authenticity of being and the integrity that you live with, and by integrity we mean your availability to truth, regardless of the consequences.

We lost our integrity the first time we broke our word, the first time we went against our own self. Self-betrayal is what breaks our integrity.

From that point on, all our loyalty was to the Book of Law. Whatever goes against the Book of Law looks like it goes against our integrity, but that is not exactly true because we are using that book against our own self. We are using it for self-rejection, for all those agreements that lead us into emotional drama.

Once we are aware that we are dreaming, the Book of Law is broken, we recover our integrity, and we can feel it.

Before the Book of Law is broken, we are not following our integrity; we are following the rules of the book. Concepts like guilt, blame, right, wrong, loyalty, and patriotism for the country, all affect us very deeply because we believe in them. And this makes us very easy prey for manipulation by the dream of the planet. Even concepts like what is beautiful or ugly are agreements that control society and later control the individual mind. We give our power to these agreements, we become a slave to them; then other people use those values to manipulate us.

When you recover your integrity, you can no longer go to someone and ask him for his approval, because you are asking for the approval of his Book of Law. The only answer he can give you is according to his Book of Law, (ego thought system ) which isn’t any good to you. You need to trust yourself. You cannot go to someone and say, “Is what I’m doing right? Is what I’m doing wrong?” No. You are alone, and thank God you are alone because it means you are free to be yourself again, and your integrity will not allow you to go against yourself.

You will know that you have recovered your integrity when you feel good, when you feel happy. Every time you don’t feel good it’s the result of a self-judgment, and that judgment is using the Book of Law to find you guilty.

Now you are ashamed of yourself, and that’s why you don’t feel good. The Four Agreements help us to align with our integrity.

• The first agreement, impeccability of the word, is completely aligned with our integrity.

• The second and third agreements, don’t take anything personally, and don’t make assumptions, give us immunity to the Book of Law and to everybody else’s ego dreams that surround us. With that immunity, we can be assured that the outside dream will not choose our beliefs for us again.

• And the fourth agreement, always do your best, is the engine that moves us forward; it is the action.

Keep focusing your attention through your integrity, and make choices that don’t go against yourself. By focusing your attention and following your integrity, you can measure your choices by your action–reaction.

This choice comes from love; that choice comes from fear.

This choice makes me happy; that choice makes me suffer.

The Book of Law

Just as a government has a book of law that rules the society’s dream, our belief system is the Book of Law that rules our life.

Whatever is in our Book of Law is our supreme truth. We base all of our judgments on this Book of Law, even if these judgments go against our own inner nature. (Largely based on the Ego Thought System)

Integrity- https://www.powerofpositivity.com/integrity-traits/

There are many foundation Building Blocks but one

Self-Love & Love

Your basic building blocks should be built with the goodness & truth of love; ........ joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self-restraint (not being selfish), meekness (humbleness). Having the wisdom of being nothing but tenderhearted. Focus your attention only in speaking & acting from a kind heart and always with a humble, loving attitude. Humbleness, forgiveness, clarity, and love are the dynamics.

 You must be honestly self-reflective. It is essential to approach this process in a very clear-headed, rational way rather than emotionally. This is a key in building a balanced flexible self and in achieving successful conflict resolution. Balancing the intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, and physical aspects of life is essential in a healthy relationship.

Connecting inner attitudes to outer events requires courage, humility, and honesty. It demands the utter integrity of self-responsibility. If you want to create a healthy relationship, you must be willing to honestly take responsibility for the dynamics you create.

When you are aware, you act appropriately; doing what is needed and wanted in love. It empowers the individual to become responsive rather than reactive, to make real choices about life based on love & what is really taking place.

The more we learn to be conscious of our impulses, thoughts, and actions, while also keeping in mind our principles that foster practical wisdom, we can more easily become our best selves. Every attitude, every mental and emotional condition creates chain reactions and circles-either benign or vicious ones, according to the truth or error of your belief, attitude, and behavior pattern.

Humbleness, forgiveness, clarity, and love are the dynamics of freedom.

Associated Key Traits

     Forgiveness: covered in Team Lessons

1.) Quiet Mind & Calm Heart crucible4points.com

The body does whatever the mind thinks and intends. All this helps you to control your bodies physical response to conflict & stress. It is necessary to know your body well. How the emotions affect different parts of the body. Understand and accept the bodily polarity. The body is a creature of the mind‘s creation. It has its biases. The biological bias must be first completely understood, and then allow the opposite bias to find full expression in understanding. This means getting control of where all these take place.

In practical terms this means three things:

• Quieting your mind

• Calming your heart/spirit

• Focusing on your physical reactions

In practice this means:

Controlling your anxiety so it doesn't run away with you. Handling your feelings and emotions. Soothing your emotional bruises. Monitoring your body. Many people have difficulty soothing their own emotions and/or calming their anxiety. Developing a Quiet Mind & Calm Heart not only makes your own life better, it lets other people live better too. Needs to have grounded responding or get emotionally grounded.

2.) Balance/Grounded Responding: involves making modulated responses to people, events, and situations. Understand it is from within, yourself that you must operate and understand the operational manual of you.

Over-reacting to tense or anxiety-filled situations is a common problem. Unbalanced, untimely, or disproportionate responses are one of the most common ways people ruin their lives. This is NOT grounded responding. This includes people:

• with explosive tempers with "short fuses"

• who say cutting things in difficult conversations.

• who break collaborative alliances whenever they get hurt.

• who are always yelling at their kids.

• who go to pieces over little things,

Under-reacting (avoidance) is also NOT Grounded Responding. It's not as obvious and more socially acceptable. Sometimes avoidance masquerades as Grounded Responding but it's not. It is commonly excused as procrastination. You’re not making grounded responses if you fail to react or take action when necessary. When your kids need discipline and you're just not feeling like doing it.

You know your partner's having an affair, but you say nothing because you don't want to upset the status. Most people’s basic nature during times of stress is to lash out or lecture or both—especially if the predicament is somebody else’s fault.

• But tenderness, above and beyond the call of our human nature when done, is transforming. When it comes to being tender, kindness, gentleness, and forgiveness are like battery packs.

Being tender at such a moment is definitely not natural. You have to take off the comfortable old nature of lectures and anger, and put on the new nature of tenderness. This can be excruciatingly difficult. The way we interpret life’s experiences and the way we respond to them (the choices we make) are far more important than how we feel or what we desire. Gratitude and appreciation..... Those who were in a state of appreciation—and therefore were in alignment with Source; with their Vortex; with the Pure, Positive Energy that creates worlds—as they held you as your object of attention, you felt the advantage of their gaze. But when those not in their Vortex, not in alignment with Source, held you as the object of their lackful attention, you felt the disadvantage of their gaze. It is the inconsistency of the responses that you garner from others that eventually erodes your confidence. Your Inner Being, is undeviating and dependable. When you make your way to your Vortex of Creation through the thoughts that you choose—you will always be replenished. A balanced, good-feeling life requires that you return often to drink from the Source.

Each person is 100% responsible for the health of the relationship from his or her point of view and of their actions. It's not about right or wrong nor is it about if it's the other persons fault or your fault. It about how to find a solution...... No blame, No control. It's not about getting your way or controlling your partner. It's about self-control                                          

3.) Tolerating Discomfort for Growth

Of all things that determine success in life, perhaps the most important is having discomforting growth. This type of growth increases your chances of success in marriage, parenting, families, and careers.

Discomforting growth is the basis of mastery. You cannot master a new skill, refine your abilities, develop your talent, learn new things, or expand your personality without this trait.

• Sticking with things so you can accomplish your goals

• Making yourself do what needs to be done, even when you don’t want to do it. Incorporate new ideas or thoughts into your life. Anxiety tolerance is the key. Trying not to have any anxiety won't work. Challenge your identity but hold on to yourself.

• Absorbing hardship and disappointment, bouncing back after defeat

• Withstanding stress

Growth with discomfort is not blind perseverance, stubbornness, or refusal to face facts. It is not stupid pain-for-no-purpose. It is not simply high pain tolerance, or accepting a lousy relationship. Discomforting growth is about tolerating pain/anxiety for growth. If there's no growth, it's not meaningful. Many people lack this trait.

4.) Flexibility

• lets you learn from your mistakes. It's a given none of us is perfect.

• lets you change roles when your children leave home or you retire.

• lets other people to be right sometimes.

• makes room for your partner in your relationship.

Solid Flexible Self lets you stand on your own two feet in a relationship--without always standing on your partner’s toes. Stay clear about the issue, stay calm.

When you have solid flexible self:

• You have an internalized set of core values by which you run your life.

• You have a sense of your own self-worth that perseveres through hard time.

• You can maintain your own viewpoints and sense of direction when others pressure you to conform.

• You draw your sense of personal stability, values, and direction from within yourself, which comes from frequently confronting yourself (from the best in yourself) that you could be wrong.

• You don't always have to be right, and you don't crash when you're wrong. You can change without losing who you are.

Solid Flexible Self is not a rigid self. Being able to adapt and change when prudent is just as import as staying the course.

You update your own personal owners manual, but you have to do the work, that’s the problem. You are the Teacher and Student

I think we all have dreams and goals in our mind

But an owners manual? Maybe so, maybe not…. adopt it or not, but just to make you think about it…we already have one. Few choose to update it because it’s not an automatic update. Manual updates only!

Outer World Goals

This example: does not include outer world goals, dreams of being a doctor, living in a different city, having 4 kids,etc… although these type goals often interact with these inner beliefs and goals.

You could or should include or have separate lists for these type goals, dreams, plus any other type goals, thoughts, anything you find important. Include in your manual what you want, as short or long as you want, Include or omit accordingly to ur preferences. Put one thing down to remind yourself, or none….

Life can also be called The Art of Balance…. between your outer and inner desires or goals

“Know Thyself”

Inner World Goals or Owners Manual

The map of your internal foundation

Organize your internal energies towards one simple goal

Start simple and keep in your head.

The Toltec Wisdom Books, to me, have a simplified explanation from several sources into one, with usable tools. That’s why I see this as important. This should a main component, that can improve anyone’s foundation.

The quality of our lives, in some ways, has a great deal to do with your own authenticity of being and the integrity that you live with, and by integrity we mean your availability to truth, regardless of the consequences. Our trueSelf. We have two aspects of Truth, the inner and the outer. It is imperative that we develop this inner side of life; the outer will then take care of itself.

Storing a manual in your memory is ok. On occasion a written copy is a quick and handy reference.

What is the manual for? Taking care of my inside world will dictate the outside world. NOT the other way around

• To say to myself, is this how I want to respond? Is this who I want to be? Is this what I really want! Do I want or need to bend or change a goal or belief?

• What is negotiable, what isn’t? Who am I

• Who do I want to be, How do I want to act, What my great dislikes or dislikes, What is the limit to what I will accept or do etc….

• A reminder and tool to help one stay on track.

• IMHO, It’s important to do routine maintenance or health check-ups on your foundation.

Since YOU are in charge of YOU - YOU can always change what’s in your manual. It’s always your choice.

The inner world controls the outer world. You are in charge of your Dream

Understand only you control your thoughts

• YOU create your inner world

• YOU can only control yourself

• YOU control your inner world

Update your Owners Manual: Honor & Integrity

Become RELENTLESS

Responsibility with Integrity, Honor

Our integrity is who we are, the totality of our self.

Those who are ruling their lives by the Book of Law have the illusion of integrity, but they don’t have it.

• Every time they reject themselves, it’s a lack of integrity. Every time they believe they are not perfect, it’s a lack of integrity.

• Every time they suffer

• Every time they get jealous or angry or envious,

• Every time they create a drama, they are going against themselves, and it’s a lack of integrity.

We recover our integrity when we are impeccable with our word

We lost our integrity the first time we broke our word, the first time we went against ourselves. Self-betrayal is what breaks our integrity.

Keep focusing your attention on your integrity, and make choices that don’t go against yourself.

By focusing your attention and following your integrity, you can measure your choices by your action-reaction.

• This choice comes from love; that choice comes from fear.

• This choice makes me happy; that choice makes me suffer.

Develop your personal mind & heart power tools of prayer, beliefs, choice, and love. Work on the development of the skill sets of Self Love, Know Yourself & Awareness.

The Mastery of Self

As a Master of Self, you can have relationships with others, even those who disagree with you, while still being grounded in your Authentic Self. You are able to maintain your free will and respect the free will of others. Knowing that others see you in a specific way gives you choices when you engage with them.

You shape-shift only in their perception, and your awareness of that allows you to stay true to yourself and not give in to the temptation to take on others' definitions of who you are.

You realize that you don't have to put on any image that others project onto you because you know it is not your reality. With this awareness, you will be better able to co-create harmoniously with others, making the relationships that matter most to you more fulfilling and rewarding.

Most importantly, when you become a Master of Self, you know how to stay grounded in your Authentic Self regardless of what's happening around you. You also have the awareness to realize quickly when you are acting in a way that isn't helpful to yourself or others and can spot those situations when you are feeding your ego, or the false sense of self, instead of living in peace. In this way, you free yourself from the drama and self-inflicted suffering created by so many people.~Toltec Wisdom

Most of the time, one will know from your gut, heart, or both, what is right or wrong for you. Each of, us to varying degrees and success, do this automatically.

• Master your emotions and you master yourself.

• Master your own ego and master your life.

The CHOICE is yours.

Does everyone need an owners manual?

Remember this all IMHO

No, most people don’t or won’t.

But I think you do. (That’s the purpose of this section.)

We also naturally do or act the “right way” in a ot of the material covered here. But do we understand the why, of what, I did?

Realizing the knowledge behind your actions, should help you seeI needed to apply certain things more consistently. Maybe you are one of the lucky ones who doesn’t need any of this. There is always room for improvement.

Each of us, is unique and entirely different. It’s your truth, your dream. Your manual….

… Your choice

Example Goals:

• The purpose of my life is to experience being fully alive, to cultivate my spirit, to learn what I can about the nature of reality, and to help others.

• The world being imperfect and unfair makes it possible for each experience in life to be an opportunity to cultivate my spirit.  Likewise, the more something makes me what to shut down, the more I grow if I am able to resist that urge and instead remain open.

• If I want to grow, I need to genuinely take responsibility for my own actions, my own innovations, and my own mistakes. Similarly, if I choose to do something, I should make an effort to do it as well as I can.

• It’s important to do things in moderation rather than always trying to live up to an ideal of perfection; moderation ultimately makes it possible to do much more as it can be sustained indefinitely.

Balance

There is always a hidden side to things I can’t yet see, so discovering I am wrong about something I had held a deep conviction in means my spirit is evolving.

• Very few things are absolute; everything exists on a gradient.

• YOU control your inner world

The outside world, all we see, all events, all interactions etc… is actually inside us our mind. All created and shaped by our belief system. Each of us living in their own self perceived world.

2… major rules to recheck & make sure one is on track…..

1. 1. Be Impeccable with your Word: - Choose your Words Wisely. Master your emotions & feelings. I am only responsible for my 1/2 of the relationship. What I say and ultimately do according my integrity. Are we being completely honest? And From the heart, not your ego. Are we sure this is what we think and what we want to say? The best response may be no response…… Don’t argue, it does no good against the Ego.

2. Don’t take anything personally. We take everything personally when our personal importance leads us to make the assumption that whatever happens is because of us, which is why we continue to hurt each other and brood about what we call injustice. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream or movie. It’s their Ego talking… Stop being offended. (Let go of your pride & reputation.) When you truly understand this, you will not need to blame, attack nor defend yourself. That means even if you make a mistake, and other people react and judge, it’s nothing personal.

You are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering. When somebody talks about you, they are talking about a secondary character in their story who represents you; they are talking about an image they create for you. That image has nothing to do with you; it’s just a projection of that person’s dream, movie, or story. If you take it personally, if you agree and believe what others say, their story becomes a part of your story. With that immunity, we realize they act from their personal ego dream and interpretation. Know their words can’t hurt you. When you realize that they live in their dream movie.

Once you understand that all humans live in their world, in their own movies, in their own dreams, the second agreement is pure common sense. Learn your emotional flash points and triggers. Make sure we remain calm & in our hearts, even when a catalyst strikes amid conversation. Quit assuming and overreacting. Quit making up stories

3. Don’t make assumptions. You don’t make assumptions about what other people think of you. There is no way you will ever know what is in their head or how they dream. We make an assumption if we think that others know what we mean, or that we know what others mean. We have to have the courage to ask the other what he means, or what he wants, and the courage to say what we really want.

Clarify, ask questions if possible. When we listen to the voices talking in our heads. One assumption leads to another assumption. We jump to conclusions, take our story personally. Without assumptions, there is nothing to make you frustrated, and there is no one to blame. It’s always better to ask and be clear. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. Respond or not, but Don’t React. Let go of your Ego – Let go of your need to be superior, to have more, to win, or to be right. Understanding and implementation of #2 & #3 let you become BULLETPROOF

4. Always Try Your BEST. (-: We all fail. But keep trying and keep practicing to make this the new automatic response….. You are responsible only for your 1/2 of any relationship. They are responsible for how they respond to your words. Change takes action. Practice makes the master………………….Become RELENTLESS IN LIFE/LOVE

5. Listen, Really Listen. Be Skeptical: Understand the intention behind the words. Look for & SEE their Real Truth behind the words. Words only point to the truth; they are not the truth in and of themselves. They are symbols. You must make sure it wasn’t any more your Ego, than theirs. Are we sure we are responding to what the other thinks and what he/she has said? If you say something stupid, or you were the one in the wrong, if it’s needed, apologize. Do a daily/nightly review of your actions to make sure you are adhering to your standards and ethics.

Ego Talks: No one is perfect we all let the ego overreact and at times we all say the wrong words. Yet examine their statement & look closely for your true faults. Pride impedes growth. NO “pride” “conceit” or “arrogance” allowed…

6. RESPECT & SELF-RESPECT - You don’t have to agree. We can agree to disagree. Have integrity & honor. Your personal power tools, your owner's manual. Be kind & be humble… SEE any critical verbalizations by another person as merely a statement of the other person’s ego's movie as them being the star. We don’t have to like them. But we respect their dream.

7. FAITH & PRAYER- one needs to have a belief in the afterlife. That we are all one, we are energy, a part of Gods eternal energy

8. Always strive to keep an OPEN HEART, that is the end goal

9. The CHOICE to start every intention with LOVE and goodness, it's about your energy or attitude

10. BALANCE, willpower and the ability to put it all together

11. HAVE FUN, we are here to enjoy life in this temporary physical body

The most important journey you will ever make is the one inside yourself. It is the journey of finding your own truth. YOU have to do the work.

Plus skeptical rule number one: Don’t believe yourself. But keep your mind open. Keep your heart open. Listen to yourself, listen to your story, but don’t believe it because now you know that the story you are writing is fiction. It’s not real. When you hear the voice in your head, don’t take it personally. You know that knowledge is usually lying to you. Listen, and ask if it’s speaking the truth or not. If you don’t believe your own lies, your lies will not survive, and you can make better choices based on truth.

Don’t believe yourself, but learn to listen because sometimes the voice of knowledge can have a brilliant idea, and if you agree with the idea, then take it. It could be a moment of inspiration that leads to a great opportunity in life. Respect your story, and learn to really listen. When you listen to your story, the communication with yourself will improve 100 percent. You will see your story with clarity, and if you don’t like the story, you can change it.

Don’t believe yourself mainly when you are using the voice against yourself. The voice can make you afraid to be alive, to express who you really are. It can stop you from doing what you really want to do with your life. That voice has been in control of your head for so many years, and, no, that voice will not give up just because you want it to leave you alone. But at least you can challenge that voice by not believing what it’s telling you. That’s why I say, “Don’t believe yourself.”

Skeptical rule number two: Don’t believe anybody else. And that includes me for the same reason. You know that if you lie to yourself, surely other people lie to themselves. And if they lie to themselves, surely they will lie to you as well. When people talk to you, who is speaking through them? Who is dictating what they say? You have no idea if what they are saying is coming from their heart or from the Prince of Lies who lives in their head. You don’t know, so don’t believe them.

But learn to listen without judging. You don’t need to judge people because they lie. How many times have you heard someone say, “Oh, he’s a pathological liar,” when in reality everybody is possessed by the Prince of Lies? There are lies everywhere. People are always lying, and when they don’t have awareness, they don’t even know it. Sometimes they really believe that what they are saying is true. And they can really believe it, but it doesn’t mean that it’s true.

Don’t believe anybody, but this doesn’t mean closing your mind or your heart. Listen to other people tell their story. You know that it’s just a story, and that it’s only true for them. When you listen, you can understand their story; you can see where people are coming from, and the communication can be wonderful. Other people need to express their story, to project what they believe, but you don’t have to agree with what they say.

Don’t believe, but learn to listen. Even if it’s just a story, sometimes the words that come from other storytellers come from their integrity. When this happens, your own integrity recognizes it right away, and you agree with what they are saying. Their voice goes directly to your spirit, and you feel you already know that what they are telling you is the truth.

Don’t believe anybody else, but listen because sometimes a moment of inspiration or opportunity can come through the voice of someone else. The way other people create their story might reflect the way you create your story, and when they are exposed, you can see how they invest their faith in lies. You might see the lies right away, when you couldn’t see them in yourself. By listening to their story, you might recognize the truth about something you do all the time, and that truth can change your own story. Listen to their story, but you don’t have to believe it. Always question their story if it doesn't feel right. That is the key.

Utilizing the Tao Tools and other awareness tools

The Four Agreements or tools help us align with our integrity & Gods unconditional love. To improve our emotional self control and effective communication skills.

• Awareness of your emotional trigger, once you know your trigger

• Pause, don’t say anything while at the same time….

• Implement the heart connection and inner smile tools to stay calm and gather yourself. And/or Letting Go  technique…. letting go of the feeling. Focus on the feeling itself, not on the thoughts. Thoughts are endless and self-reinforcing, and they only breed more thoughts

• Not reacting, you automatically apply the rest of the 4 Agreements…….by not taking anything personally-not making assumptions-clarify by asking questions.

#1… The first agreement, impeccability of the word, is completely aligned with our integrity. We communicate only from our soul or heart.

#2 & 3… The second and third agreements, don’t take anything personally, and don’t make assumptions, (clarify, ask questions) give us immunity to the Ego’s judgment and to everybody’s personal ego dream world that surround us. With that immunity, we realize they act from their ego thought system. We respect their dream. We don’t have to agree. We don’t have like them. But we can see ourselves and God in them. They are still our brother or sister united in Gods Love. We may have to agree to disagree, in areas of no compromise.

#4… And the fourth agreement, always do your best, is the engine that moves us forward; it is the action. We may fail often, but we keep trying and striving.

You become BULLETPROOF

Keep focusing your attention through your integrity, and make choices that don’t go against yourself.

1. We realize how the the Ego Thought System operates

2. We are aware of our feelings & trigger points

3. We utilize the heart-mind connection tools

4. We learn to control our innerself, no trying to control those outside us

5. We don’t argue

6. We don’t defend

7. We don’t attack

8. We don’t judge, we discern

By focusing your attention and following your integrity, you can measure your choices by your action–reaction.

• This choice comes from love; that choice comes from fear.

• This choice makes me happy; that choice makes me suffer.

LOVE is a frequency, not a feeling

The feeling of LOVE comes from being in the frequency of LOVE

The reason of being is to be in LOVE

LOVE is what we all ask for, and what we all yearn for

The reason of being, to be LOVE and in LOVE.

Is comprehended with the depth of the entirety of your soul.

The Emotional Human

It is about knowing who you are at your core not your outer personality. Understanding why you and then others react and behave the way we do. From our standard operating thought system, the ego. Life is also about learning self control and self improvement. Self love, love and respect or honor. Some people refuse to look at themselves…..

Our 5 senses, our body is our input of everything from the outside world. When someone kisses you, when someone disses on you, when your dog runs up and licks you, tail wagging showing you his unconditional love to you. This is what emotions are and they belong to our body.

As humans, we are at the core, emotional beings.

These emotions go straight to your heart at the almost the same time your so called rational mind automatically creates a feeling. Most of us then automatically pull up a stored feeling in your subconscious based from a previous and similar emotional experience. We then automatically react accordingly to that feeling.

We start as emotional beings from the beginning of every experience.

So the basic core of every human is emotional..

Morality = virtue

One must develop wisdom, justice, fortitude, and temperance.

Intention (desire)shapes your actions. If the results are good then the action is good.

An action has three principles: Object, Intention, Circumstance.

An act needs to have the right goal and the right intention and be done in the right circumstances. All thoughts, desires or intentions based in love will always result in goodness.

Faith and reason support each other.

Attitude

You can only hold the vibration at the level of tone you choose to be in accord with. Each and every person, has the same vibrational energy but a very different tone. Each on a scale either towards more of the self or more towards others. What is the level of vibrational tone that you call your reality? Where on this sliding scale, benefits you the most? To give more or to always think of me, me, me, always expecting more?

Consciousness is not moored in the physical self. Anything you imagine or believe can be, you are in coherence with. The aspect of you that decides, be it the ego personality structure, or your heart and soul.

You must want to relearn and to re-know.

Choose to be one that knows, that perceives, and speaks a language in truth and knowing.

Personal Virtues or Positive Emotions

The positive energies of love, kindness, gentleness, respect, and honesty. With these energies one can adept and counteract all kinds of evil.

We refer to the positive emotions as the virtues. The virtues are actually the true essence or seed chi of our positive feelings.

Taoists revere compassion as the highest form of virtue because its basis is empathy, not sympathy, and it elevates the consciousness beyond human weakness. With compassion, one can love unconditionally and thereby accept the world on its own terms without suffering.

The virtues are our natural qualities; they are inherent in everyone. They do not have to be created in us; they need only to be uncovered, exercised, and nourished.

Breaking the Cycle of the Automatic or Autopilot

What is truth is real.

What is not truth is not real.

It’s an illusion, but it looks real.

Love is real.

It’s the supreme expression of life.

Beyond the 4 Agreements

The highest spiritual path is life itself. If you know how to live daily life, it all becomes a liberating experience. But first you have to approach life properly, or it can be very confusing. To begin with, you have to realize that you really only have one choice in this life, and it’s not about your career, whom you want to marry, or whether you want to seek God. People tend to burden themselves with so many choices. But, in the end, you can throw it all away and just make one basic, underlying decision: Do you want to be happy, or do you not want to be happy? It’s really that simple. Once you make that choice, your path through life becomes totally clear. Most people don’t dare give themselves that choice because they think it’s not under their control. Someone might say, “Well, of course I want to be happy, but my wife left me.” In other words, they want to be happy, but not if their wife leaves them. But that wasn’t the question. The question was, very simply, “Do you want to be happy or not?” If you keep it that simple, you will see that it really is under your control. It’s just that you have a deep-seated set of preferences that gets in the way.
