Mastering Your Self
Your Self is shaped by the strongest force acting on it and becomes, through habit, fixated
at a level where the influence is the strongest. Thus because of strong physical and
mental influences the Self is mostly fixated in the body and thoughts/emotions. It is
drawn into the body and mind like iron filaments to a magnet, like a physical object to
gravity. Your Self reflects whatever you are consciously and unconsciously fixated on.
The difference between this method and ancient ones is that it doesn't require fires,
drums, mushrooms or drugs. Its not particularly esoteric, mysterious or metaphysical.
The method is very simple requiring only a stopwatch, writing materials, selected
reading materials and about nine days of free time. The process of self-mastery has
been modernized so to speak.
There are three types of reactions; physical, mental and emotional. Your body will
tense up, you'll experience all kinds of strange images and you'll feel intense
emotions. The obstacles can be both positive and negative in the sense that a positive
quality can be just as much of an obstacle as a negative quality.
A particular level of development is characterized by specific experiences, behaviors
and abilities. A man that experiences a lot of fear and worry is located at a specific
level. He can identify this level and move up the scale of development. As he does
this his experience, behavior and abilities change according to the level he is on at
that particular moment. At a specific level worry and fear don't exist, so if he moves
his attention, consciousness and awareness to that level fear and worry disappear
from his life. Willpower enables him to move and keep his Self there for as long as he
wants.
