The Ancient Teaching of the 33 Steps
- The ego always leans toward the dysfunction.
- We only have the “illusion of negative energy. What
we call the negative experience is any contradiction of the ego’s opinion.
Cf. Break your ankle, the check bounces, gets laid off… - Emotional pain is all self-inflicted.
- It’s an illusion to say we’ve gotta to be cozy, safe,
rich, healthy, live forever - What is your desire? What is your desire to consolidate
your power? What is your desire to become free? What is your desire to
perceive the world in a deferent way? Can you let go of a way to find
yourself today? - In the end, it’s the level of your desire because spirit
never comes down to fetch you. - Put your arm up, reach out
and say to that infinite god Force inside of you—reach up and say, “Hey, I
want to change. I want to go beyond where I find myself now; because if I don’t,
I’ll bore myself to death.” - If you leg the ego win, then you’re bound to fail
- If the word isn’t law to you, your mind knows
- You’ve gotta be action-oriented
- Face your insecurities. Face your fears & really look
at yourself - Accept the restriction. Accept the negativity. Accept the
ego. Accept the evil. → Transcend them
The Concept of the Infinite Self
How to See the Life Force
- Get yourself in a relaxed state. Stare at the op of a big
tree, preferably at sunset. After a minute or so, move your gaze to the
area of sky to the right of the tree. Stare approximately where the one
o’clock position would be on a clock. Now, without moving your eyes from
that point in the sky, move your attention back to the top of the tree,
don’t move your eyes, just adjust your attention. By doing so, you engage
your peripheral vision. You’ll se the enormous flamelike spirals of energy
firing out from the tree in all directions. - Good time is after a fast.
- When you are ready to release and detach and let go, you
gain everything.
Disciplines
- Nutritional disciplines
- Fasting
- The discipline of walking in the forest
- The discipline of attending meditations and meetings
- Reading & studying
- Taking time aside each day for silence
- Spiritual growth and the getting of a higher awareness is
not necessarily convenient. - Only the ego needs to define, discriminate, quantify, and
measure things in order to create an edge or frame work to life so that it
can understand things - The God Force is everywhere. The God Force and God are one
and the same - Because of definitions, we limit ourselves
- The Infinite Being has no definition
- Something or someone won’t raise you up; energy seek its
own level. The only way to sustain a higher energy is to create it from
within yourself. You can only borrow that inspiration - It’s perpetual process, unfolding within you forever and
ever.
STEP 1: I Am God
- The God Force is within you
- You have to internalize the God Force
- The infinite you had a vision of what it was gonna be
getting into in this lifetime: You didn’t come here by accident - Accept where you are
- Almost everything is reversible, and what you can’t
change, you probably don’t need to change - Rather than fighting the ugliness, your misfortune, love
the circumstances:
“Thank you, God, for sending me these teachers. They are driving me
crackers, and what they’re teaching me is not to react. They strengthen me
by teaching me to transmute negative energy into positive energy. Using
these people, I will convert irritation, hatred, and reaction into at
least a neutral energy of passivity or, if possible, love. These assholes
are my venerated teachers. I am truly grateful to god for sending me so
many assholes. Thank you for allowing me to be here on the earth plane. What
an incredible experience. Isn’t it fantastic that, almost free of charge,
I’m surrounded by 55 assholes who are going to teach me a lot about
myself?” - The ego wants to be paid more than it’s actually worth.
- Even if conditions from the ego’s definition of grim, from
the Infinite definition, it’s all a part of your learning experince―your
challenge. - I’m also beyond fear: Fear is a manifestation of the ego;
negative energy is only a contradiction of the ego’s opinion. - The point of spiritual maturity is accepting where you
are, who you are, what you are, and the second part is knowing that you
create your destiny. - “I am the God Force within. I can’t necessarily feel it,
but I’m imagining it in the meantime.”
STEP 2: Expanding Your Inner Awareness
- You are a feeling
- Whatever you concentrate upon, is what will eventually
manifest in life: “Where your mind goes, energy flows.” ― Earnest Holms - Whatever you concentrate upon, empowers you
- Police your dialog & cut out depreciating statements
that destroy your energy & make you sick - “How you feel?” → “Fantastic!”: It doesn’t matter if your
life isn’t fantastic. That’s only the ego’s point of view. - Replace a negative thought, saying quietly to yourself; “I
don’t accept that negative energy. I don’t accept that fear. I am a love.
I am positivity. Everything flows through me. Everything comes to me for
my highest good. - Daily life, the circumstances of your life are external
symbols of inner you. Cf: Black cat
The universe is trying to take you by the hand and lead you on. Cf:
Excalibur - Power comes from the serenity of your emotions
- You don’t have to be perfect to be serene.
- “I am serene &
balanced whether life is perfect or not.” - As your emotions calm down, power comes up
- It’s paradox of the ego that, one hand, it’s babbling
away, trying to build itself up, trying to generate gratifying
experiences, trying to maintain its importance, and then, in the same
breath, it generates negativity to trash itself. - Only the ego would believe that, in moaning and groaning,
things might get better. - Don’t buy the emotion; buy the solution.
- Everything is feeling.
- In a silent moment, ask the
Infinity within you to show you something in the next 24 hours, something
you have never seen before―a perception, an intuition, a different way of
looking at things that you’ve seen a hundred times before.
Then, watch carefully. Something unusual will pop up―and you’ll see that
the external & internal universe is talking to you that it loves you
in its detached way.
STEP 3: Having the Courage to Go Beyond
- Having the courage to let go
- Fear is just a manifestation of the ego
- One has to trust
- Blind faith before you have any real proof that this Infinite
Self is there or that it will work for you - You have to listen to the Infinity within you
- You have to have the courage to be different
- You have to have the courage to accept & weather the
pain and aggravation that the ego will go through. (Cf. Throw yourself in
the river at 4 AM every morning for a week.) - Allow yourself to become vulnerable
- Enter into the spiritual beauty of moving and flowing
without necessarily knowing which way to go or how you’ll get there - Believe. Believe. Believe.
STEP 4: The Courage to Accept Spirit as Your Inner Guide
- Is she home or isn’t she? At the beginning, it doesn’t
matter if you are right or wrong. - The ego personality cannot accept that something else is
more important, cleverer, more knowing than itself. - As you begin to trust this guidance, it’ll take you to
where you need to go, to the next person, to the next opportunity, to the
next place, to the next money-making idea. - As you concentrate upon it, it becomes stronger. A door
opens inside of you. - “Hello, little ego, I know you’re scared of letting go. I
know you are scared of quitting this little job in case there isn’t
another one. But we’re eternal. We’re abundant, infinite. I know there’s
something better up ahead. So don’t worry, little ego. We’ll be fine.” - This journey from ego to spirit is like journeying through
the fog. You can only see a few steps in front of you. If you can see down
the path six months, a year, five years, twenty years, here’s my pension,
here’s my retirement―you are deeply in tick-tock. - You’ll know if you are growing and moving toward the
Infinite Self by the fact that you have more choices. Things will be less
definite. “Hey, I feel fine right now, and my energy is rising, so I’m
sure it’s gonna be fine next week, next year.” - Next time you have a free evening, try blind-folding
yourself.
Spend a whole evening blindfolding. You may want to walk around the house
first and secure any areas that might be unsafe. You don’t want to chuck
yourself down the cellar steps just to discover your Infinite Self!
Plan for the exercise to last about three hours. It’s important that it
lasts long enough for your ego to give up control. The object of the
exercise is to disempower the ego’s dominance and for you to operate just
through feelings. So, fix your dinner, then blindfold yourself and wander
around the house as you normally would.
As you contend with the temporary loss of sight, you might get frustrated
or scared or bored; you ego may react to its loss of control. Be determined,
push against its resistance, and follow through to the end. You are trying
to develop confidence in allowing your feelings to guide you.
Or
Blindfold yourself in a forest
- The unknown is interesting
- You have to learn to push against the ego’s comfort zone. Cf.
Public speaking, parachuting, walking in forest at night. Each week,
devise one thing that you’ll use to challenge yourself to push the envelop
of your comfort zone as a part of your strengthening in life. - Discipline yourself to remain mentally in the now. Don’t
allow the mind to daydream. Don’t worry about the future. Don’t
future-think too much. Stay centered in the eternal present.
STEP 5: Accepting Negativity As a Learning Experience
- Embracing the Infinite Self is changing one’s attitude to
negativity in general - The ego has rules & regulations. It has needs &
desires & opinions & beliefs & fears - Poverty in western world comes from more often than not
lack of concerted energy - In our system, you have to create energy if you want things.
- When you look at negative energy, you’re only looking at
contradictions of the ego. Cf. Harry died - There are infinite reasons beyond our understanding; we
just have to be compassionate & understand that what people are going
through, whether it is a positive or negative event, is a part of their
evolution - We can’t go any faster than we’re going
- If we get too hang up in the political & social
issues, too sucked into causes, you get very firmly stuck inside the
definitions of the ego - Detachment isn’t callousness: their evolution is
sacrosanct - Collapse is the way our people understand that they have
to change their game plan & raise their energy - Everyone has had rough patches in their lives, but when
you work through the rough patch, there’s a moment when you turn it around - We cannot know what people know; we cannot why things are
the way they are - Spread the goodness, but we won’t infringe upon people
- In the end, you have to buy your own healing either with
money or with your energy - Raising people’s energy from the above doesn’t work.
- Be kind, be generous, be gracious, be a big person &
give of yourself―give of your energy - All the agony we experience emotionally and psychologically
is agony of the ego. If the ego didn’t have dogma, opinions, positions it
has to defend, you couldn’t have negative energy. - Negativity is a part of people’s evolution
- If the world were perfect, we wouldn’t be here
STEP 6: We Learn About the World through Belief Patterns and Then Go beyond
It
- The central point of the tribe’s identity is its ego self
- If you are not very evolved, the tribal mind offers you
the familiarity & safety of collective consciousness, collective
strength - The point of the collectivism of the tribal mind is
control. Cf. Women were commodity - You don’t need a third party to intercede between you and
God - If you want to talk to God, quite the mind through meditation
& prayer, feel it out - None of the tribal belief patterns will ever set you free
- One of the exercises I gave people in a seminar once was
to put on a chicken outfit and go to work. So throw away the little piece
of cloth around your neck, and put on a chicken outfit instead. Don’t
explain to anybody at the office why you’re wearing a chicken outfit.
Let’s say you work in a bank. Just walk in, sit down, and start cashing
people’s checks. When your co-workers ask, “Why are you wearing a chicken
outfit?” answer “What chicken outfit?” The point of this exercise is for
you to get into the habit of believing in yourself as a solid inner
identity, a spirit, a divine energy inside a body, rather than a social
projection of self, who has to fit in and win approval by saying all the
right things and wearing all the socially acceptable uniforms. Instead,
you can say to yourself, “I am what I am. I’m a divine spark inside a body
that happens to be wearing a chicken outfit.” - A lot of the issue about conformity is the ego’s seeking
approval. - Start to do things that break up the rigid conformity that
the mind has and the fear that it has of breaking away from the mold. - The routine that you’re familiar with day-to-day is a part
of your ego’s authority over you. By doing things differently, you begin
to challenge it authority.
STEP 7: All Human Knowledge is Affected By Human Weakness
- Ego feels insecure, so nails a list of demands to your
forehead - You’re in flow; you’re only gonna see a few yards in front
of you - You can feel secure even when you don’t know. It’s only a
bad habit you’ve gotta know; you don’t. When you become spirit, you become
more open, and then, you can just accept things & flow - You have to move not knowing. Feeling away along, asking
yourself constantly: “How does this feel? Does it feel right?” If it
doesn’t, make adjustments. - If you’re balanced today, you’ll be more balanced tomorrow
because your energy is going up. If you’re abundant today, you’ll be more
abundant tomorrow because your energy is expanding. - You have to be self-sufficient; you’ve gotta go through
life to go past it. You have to generate enough energy to sustain yourself - On this spiritual path, nothing is guaranteed. The only
guarantee is energy. - Don’t drift into self-importance. Don’t get into status
trips. - To be always talking is against nature. He who boasts of
what he’ll do, succeeds in nothing. - The initiate doesn’t care to be special.
- When people yearn for things, it makes them weak. Cf.
Falling in love - Take a moment each day before
you go to sleep or before you rise in the morning to give thanks for what
you do have. “This life is beautiful. These children are beautiful. This
home isn’t so great, but thank you, thank you, Great Spirit, for providing
a shelter. Thank you for these clothes & these friendships. Thank you
for these economic opportunities.” - Guilt was invented by the tribe as a form of control. Most
things you might feel guilt about are just rules that other people
invented. - In the eternal Tao, there are o ups and downs; there is
not good and evil. There is high energy that sets people free and
expresses love, and there’s low energy that restricts, controls, and
manipulates people. But it is only energy. There are no absolutes and no
judgments in the grace of the Infinite Self. - There are no completely innocent victims. If you put out
restriction, weakness, manipulation & lack, you pull to you negative
experiences. The victim and the aggressor are one and the same energy. - Guilt is worthless.
- There is no real sin. There are low energy actions and
feelings, and there are high energy actions. We come to experience both
types of energy, both types of action in this lifetime. - Whatever you did in the past was a part of your learning.
- Poor self-image comes from childhood. Concentrate &
love yourself. Take quite time & meditate. Acknowledge yourself for
the things you have achieved. Have the will to improve yourself, to raise
your energy. Exercise. Become more organized. - If you have poor self-image, the 1st thing is
accept it. Gradually go past your shame, past your guilt. Reconcile what’s
gone before. - These weaknesses are a part of the programming, and they
are here to be transcended.
STEP 8: The Masters Were Supernatural Because Others Weren’t
- Energy doesn’t disappear; it just changes. The energy is
the masters is perpetual. - Akashic Record: You can touch into the “collective
unconsciousness” where in is stored all the knowledge our humanity has
ever had. Cf. The best guitar player ever been: put yourself into the mind
and feeling of that guitar player. Become him or her as you learn to play;
Watch the greatest footballers that there ever been. - Align to where there’s brilliance. Align to the power of
miracles, and feel it inside of you.
STEP 9: Power Comes From Discipline
- Is your desire for wisdom greater than your need to
accommodate the ego, the personality? - The ego has uses because it keeps your centered &
gives you identity, but the ego is basically weak. - The personality that contains your memory in which the ego
dwells is also weak because it seeks self-indulgence and seeks
gratification.
ü Discipline of serenity, quite time on your own
ü Discipline of working on your physical body
ü Discipline of disengaging from all the antagonistic, adversarial
positions: it’s hard to go beyond the ego & the earth plane if you’re
constantly at war with other people
ü Discipline of ordering your life
ü Discipline of rising early: Go out at 4 AM each night. Cf. Tiger
walking (outside edges of your foot → toes → heels) for an hour; mediate for 24
minutes
ü Nutritional discipline: Vegetarianism
ü The backwards thinking process at night: it cuts down the need
for lots of trivial dreams
ü If there’s some particular problem, say to yourself within, “I
want to review this situation during the night, and I want you to give me the
answer to my problem in the morning.”
ü Discipline of not criticizing & judging too much
ü Mirror exercise: Light a candle & sit in front of a mirror.
Stare at yourself there, looking slightly downwards. Stare at the center of
your throat. Without blinking, try to watch yourself in the mirror. Play the
metronome if you like. Bit by bit, as you relax, as you melt into the mirror
and you let yourself go, you’ll see images and feelings coming out of the
mirror at you. At first, that may be a little freaky, but allow them to be.
Externalization of your inner mind, your subconscious mind. Perceptions will
come up. Bit by bit you’ll have visions. Eventually, other worlds will open up,
and you’ll be able to look into the mirror, and you’ll see other dimensions. Sometimes,
those inner worlds actually appear to be coming out of the mirror towards you.
Just watch them, and don’t let them freak you out.
ü Exercise
ü Start thinking of yourself as a multi-directional being. “What is
behind you? What is to your left and right? What is below me down through the ground
or underneath?” “What is above?” Start to think of yourself resonating in 360º
in every direction above & below as well.
STEP 10: Centering the Mind
- Doing rain: don’t react; just observe
- Doing traffic: Observe yourself stuck in traffic along
with 500 other people - Mother-in-law, check bouncing, getting laid from
work…training the mind not to trigger emotions & you accept - Become an observer of life
- You’re not your emotions, not your body, not your
personality. You’re divine infinite energy that is operating through the
body & the mind - Go past having to react the same way as everybody else in
the tribal mind reacts - You can observe yourself being scared: it’s OK to be
scared sometimes as a human. So rather than reacting to, beat down or push
down the fear, just observe it - All your questions have an answer back deep inside the
subconscious mind - Brain waves
ü Beta: 14 cycles a second
ü Alpha: 7 ~ 14
ü Theta: 4 ~ 6
- “I don’t accept these thoughts; I don’t accept this distractions;
I’ll handle the car later. I don’t accept that perception; I’m changing my
views; I’m changing my focus. Thank you very much for telling me about
this fear, but I don’t accept that fear as a reality in my life. When and
if I need to act, I will.” - Without discipline & meditation, you’ll get inspired
for little a while, but bit by bit, the personality will win back all the
ground that it’s lost, and you’ll find yourself the way you were before.
STEP 11: Believing You Are Already the Power
- You’ve got to belong to the dream
- The love that exudes from the light of God asks nothing in
return. It has no emotion, criticism, preference or judgment. - If you want more money but can’t internalize that feeling;
if you feel lack, if you don’t act abundantly; If you are not gracious
& generous of spirit; if you’re not open and warm-hearted, then the
universal law just reflects back to you your cold, tight feeling - Don’t be pushy with your dialogue & catch phrases.
Don’t show off - Visualize yourself there in
your hometown, standing across it like you’re 300 or 500 feet tall, and
you’re big. The little things of day-to-day life don’t bother you.
You are beyond them; you don’t mind a little rain. You don’t mind the guy
in the post office who was rude to you. You don’t mind the car that cut
your off in traffic. You’re not in a rush; you’re eternal. You’re
bigger than the petty world of the tribal emotion—beyond the
personality, beyond the mind. - In the Infinite Self, the future is now. That’s why it’s
so important for your to believe in yourself now, to believe in the power
that is with you now. If you are moving toward a goal, see it in your
mind’s eye, act it out, and feel it granted in your feelings so that I
exists in the now. - So you’ve got to believe, and you’ve got to feel. When
things are distanced from you, you’ll never achieve them … So if abundance
is your issue, feel abundant. - You don’t have to know where you’re going in the long
term. You just have to know where you’re placing your very next step. - “I’m eternal, immortal, universal & infinite. I am
what I am.”
STEP 12: Your Word As Law
- Don’t make promises you won’t keep, and don’t make
promises to others if you can’t or won’t follow through - Don’t commit if you don’t have to
- As you move your energy up faster & faster, your
ability to materialize things becomes more instantaneous. Cf. the burning
bush - You have to mean what you say; choose your words carefully
- Be purposeful and police what you think & feel. If any
crud comes into your mind, pounce on it quickly & change - Don’t talk about yourself. Become verbally disciplined.
Don’t show off. Don’t boast. Don’t exaggerate. Just stay what is true
& real. - Don’t buy all of the waffle of the mind
- Here’s an exercise that will
strengthen your will & help you along a bit. Pick a spot outside in
the garden or in the park, wherever, and find 12 stones. Tell yourself,
“I’m going to move these stones ceremoniously every morning at 7.01 A.M.
for seven days for fifteen minutes. Then pick up the first stone, walk
away across the garden, and place it down; bow and say to the stone,
“Thank you.” Then walk across the garden, pick up the second stone, and
take it over to the other side. Place it next to the first stone. Walk
back and forth, taking all the stones across the garden. Now, pause for a
moment and pick up the first stone once more, walk back across the garden,
and put it back where it was originally. Transfer all 12 stones back to
that side of the garden again. - In establishing the idea of my word as law, you improve
your ability to materialize things that you want - The ego has to go get, find, struggle to materialize
things. It has to force things to happen. I has to sell itself. - Use your word as law, and clean up your dialogue. Don’t
talk or think in terms of things being hard, evil, ugly, difficult, and
impossible. - “I feel great. I’m eternal, immortal, universal and
infinite. I feel abundant.” - Watch your thought form, and don’t make promises that you
can’t keep.
STEP 13: Acceptance
- Through meditation and quite time, your pain comes from
your reaction to circumstances, not the circumstances themselves. - See this place, this earth, this life as beautiful, and
see yourself as beautiful. Trust all’s well with the world. All’s well
with you. - You gotta make these circumstances right. Cf. house,
workplace, life - “Circumstances in life are external manifestations of my
thoughts and feelings. I can learn from them. I accept them.” - “The way it is is the way
it is. It’s fine. It’s not perfect. I’ll change for the better, but it is
the way it is. I accept that.” - Once you understand the way it is is the way it is, you
don’t have to fight circumstances. You can work on change things, but the
first point is to accept. - There aren’t any absolutes, but the ego develops an
agenda. Cf. lawn mower - If you don’t like things, walk away.
- It’s too much effort to change things. You gotta love them
as they are: unconditional love. - Become a big person and do not be sucked into emotion when
people treat you badly. - Cf. Taoist farmer
STEP 14: Judge Nothing, Quantify Nothing
- When judging & criticizing people personally, we
define reality & engage the ego. - Everything is relative. Non-being & being grow out of
one another. - “I have no knowledge of this person’s evolution.”
- Selection is not a judgment. It’s making a choice without
an emotion, without discrediting the other choice. Cf. job interview - Allow them to be. If you don’t like what they are, who
they are, walk away. Or, try to change the situation without infringing upon
them, usually by your good example. Or, talk to them in an effable manner.
Ask them questions, leading them along where they will see a higher ground
through their own perception, own volition where they freely choose that
direction. - Judgment engages your opinion and your emotion:
Observation is nothing more than commenting on what you and others might
have observed. - Just experience life rather than define it. Cf. Walk in Philadelphia
- Visualize a little frame & put it into your heart.
Allow that frame to expand. - A bad meal should not be an emotional upset. It allows
what constitutes a good meal. It helps you make selections. So, be
grateful. - Go to a crowded spot, a
shopping arcade, an airport…just sit & watch people, but rather watch
them intellectually, watch them from the inside of the infinite self.
Close down your mind & feel them out. Don’t engaging the mind in
defining & judging. Just observe. Do it for 15 minutes. - Once you don’t judge, a higher sense of awareness comes forward.
- As people walk past,
visualize yourself with an extended arm. Push your imaginary hand quickly
into their heart, and grab a molecule of that person & pull it back to
you. How does it feel? What do you perceive here? Who is this person
passing by? What is the overriding emotion of this individual? - Don’t criticize personally, and try not to quantify
things. Just experience them.
STEP 15: Hold on to Nothing
- By placing a lot of emotion into having, you heightened
not having because you define what you have. Everything else falls into
the category of I do not have. The function of abundance is not to have
money. It’s to use it. - There’s not enough money in the world for security for the
ego. - You have to come from the concept of experiencing. You
have to invest in yourself. - How much do you want to put into a car?
- When you don’t hold onto things, you’re free: I’m with
this person today, but I don’t own them. - The more you defend the emotion of mine, the more lack
you’ll have spiritually on an energy level. - I don’t actually own them. I’m renting them from the God
Force. - Holing nothing, you own everything.
- Half the stuff you own isn’t worth having because it
creates a prison for you. - If you define yourself, then there’s all sorts of stuff by
definition, you’re not. - Hold on to nothing. Just use things. Enjoy them. Be
grateful & give thanks.
STEP 16: Don’t Defend
- Don’t explain yourself. Don’t apologize, either.
- The very fact that you do try to show it to someone or try
to explain it means it is not it. - You can’t be an exhibition of power because then your
desire for power comes from an egotistical standpoint. - Don’t get into arguments with people. Don’t get into
discussions with people. Don’t talk about yourself. Don’t talk about the
path. Keep it to yourself. Make your life mysterious. Don’t let the energy
escape. Cf. butterflies under a hat - Internalize your life is the process where you see
external life as signs, symbols, messages & sign posts. It’s a
dialogue. - Don’t apologize for your actions, your beliefs, the way
you may be developing a different perception. - By explaining the power, you belittle it. By showing it,
you’re saying you don’t believe it. - The point when you feel you’re not growing is when you’re
growing the most. - Establishing observers & admirers is a weakness.
STEP 17: Constantly Purify Yourself
- You can’t just take on a concept, and that’s it. It takes
a while to belong to that idea. - Be careful with your dialogue. Don’t express negative
energy in the way you talk even if you feel negative, don’t voice it. Be
careful with that, and purify your feelings. - All anger comes from loss. When you’re angry, rather than
experiencing the anger as a feeling, and exhibiting anger, you silence
yourself & observer the anger. Ask yourself, “What have you lost?”
Look at what you have lost, and then, agree to lose it. When things
disappear from your life, it’s just the universal law of liberating you of
stuff. Most of the stuff you lose isn’t worth chasing after. - To purify yourself, you have to spend time on your own,
and sift through your thoughts & feelings. - You’re not going to take your energy into places where
it’ll be trashed. You’re not going to trash your energy by fighting with
people. If a confrontation looks like it’s developing, start to walk away.
There isn’t a fight that’s worth having. The initiate walks away; only the
fool stands & fights. - The best form of self-defense is your feet.
- Martial arts is a good thing because if you resonate
powerfully, silently, you’ll never be a victim. You can be strong without
ever getting into a confrontation with anybody. - If something’s happening that isn’t a path of the
spiritual, noble ideals that you’ve laid down for yourself, avoid it. If
you have friends that are rat bags & sleaze bags, don’t judge them.
Just observer them to be sleaze bags & walk away. You make choices
that constantly take you toward purity & strength. - When waling into a place like a restaurant, ask yourself,
“where is the power spot here?” Then, take it if available. If not, take
the second most powerful place. - The faster your energy goes, the greater your experience
in his life time, the greater your awareness, but also, the greater the
possibility of your falling from a great height.
STEP 18: Respect All Living Things; Observe the Beauty in All Things
- Do not consume more than you need to. Do not trash things
just for the sake of trashing them. Have respect for the neighborhood
& for the people & all living thins including humans. - The challenge is to respect people with grim energy.
- The reason why people act in a dysfunctional or criminal
or hurtful way is because they are victims of their own personalities, of
their egos. - Go out of your way to be kind & respectful when they
are treating you badly. - Your test is that you can become magnanimous towards even
if they aren’t magnanimous towards you. - Respect the nature & animals. Cf. Vegetarianism
- Most modern hunters don’t really need to go out into the
forest & start blowing little animals’ heads off. - You need to be nice to people as a discipline
- Respect as a part of this quest: being polite, respecting
people, not discriminating against them, not harboring hatred or
animosity, no sexual discrimination, racial, disabilities… - Most discrimination comes from the fear of the unknown;
all discrimination comes for a sense of importance. - You can’t fake humbleness. Once you stop talking about
yourself, humility becomes automatic. - Ego has a tremendous amount of physical, emotional and
intellectual violence. It likes to make people uncomfortable because it’s
uncomfortable. - Don’t trash people. Try to build them up.
- Do not project any unnecessary violence against the
animals, plants & intellectual & emotional violent against other
people. - Respect the air, the water, the earth, the spirits of
nature, the beauty of this planet, and all the unseen dimensions that
permeate this physical plane as well. Respect yourself. Through respect we
generate consideration and love; we learn about ourselves.
STEP 19: The Power Rises from Within
- The initiate doesn’t need to push
- Most of your power is internal. As you garner the power,
you can pull to you all that you need rather than pushing. You can just
allow them to come to you. In pushing, you tend to move things away from
you. Cf. Car salesman: don’t push and shove so hard that they deny you - Visualize & feel things that you need as a part of
your life & take concerted action, moving towards your goals - To heal a situation with a
person, pull up that person in your mind’s eye, say their name, breathe them
in, hold your breath for a moment, exhale your energy, and project light
towards them. Do it 11 times. As you breathe them in & out, send them
love & healing. Cf. IRS agent - Healing is an internal transformation
- When you have a burring need, it destroys your power
- You can pull to you whatever you want. You only have to
visualize it, concentrate on it, and know it to be granted.
STEP 20: Action Through Nonaction
- Wu-Wei is the idea that there’s a natural flow in nature
and life, and by aligning to that flow and disengaging the mind, one
allows things to rest inside a natural simplicity & to effortlessly
unfold in the space of time. - By doing nothing, you can gain everything.
- Nonaction is being outside the emotional molecule of your
people, that collective emotion, outside the desires & frustrations
that most people go through. - People have to be secure to transfer their funds to you.
To make them secure is not come at them from above, telling how marvelous
the products is or you are, instead work on their comfort zone. Just make
sure that they are OK, and you take the order. - If your body is sick, rather than being in the emotion of
it, step back & understand that the real you cannot be sick. - Most disease comes from stress. A lot of disease is an
external manifestation of an inner disquiet. By pulling back & going
within, you can start to come to the emotional reason for the disease. Some
disease is good because it shows you what you’re doing wrong. So, if
you’re not well, go quiet & listen to what the inner you is saying.
Listen to the healing is offering you. - You’re always in the right place at the right time. If
you’re balanced, you’re moved into a probability pattern that precludes
pain & injury because that is a manifestation of imbalance. Life’s roulette
comes from an externalization of people’s feeling. Once your feelings are
healed, there’s no more Russian roulette. - If you don’t desperately want things, no one can move you. “I’m balanced. I have all the time in the
world.” - The external world is a manifestation of your inner dream.
- Everybody wants things. Supply their ego’s needs, &
they’ll come to you effortlessly, and when they show up, figure out
something to sell them, and bill them.
STEP 21: Dedicating Your Life to the Sacred Way
- You make a thing sacred by basically saying, “This is
sacred.” Then, start acting in a sacred way. Act deliberately. Act with
intention. Guard your energy. - Take time to be grateful. Gratitude is a part of that
affirmation that says, “I’m in control. I’m eternal. I’m not in a rush.
This is a beautiful journey with all its ups & downs. It is still
beautiful, and I’m grateful.” - Develop sacredness in everything you do. Concentrate on
the things you do. Cf. car wash
STEP 22: Understanding That Inspiration and Creativity Come from Within
- One purpose for you in this life is to express &
create - The best way to create is discipline yourself. You need
order & silence. You have to be in touch with your subtle feelings. Then,
creativity comes up from within. - Personality has normal inhibitions about creativity
because personality hates to be evaluated - All creativity comes from the God Force. You can’t own it.
It belongs to everybody. - Practice expressing yourself
- Creativity is money in the bank
STEP 23: Always Maintain Freshness; Watch Nature, & Align to Nature
- If your energy is alive, you’re gonna use up people,
places, philosophies, diets, disciplines, cars, clothes….keep staying
fresh. - Everything is on rental from the God Force, and you can
give it to somebody else - Rise @ 4 AM every morning
and walk in silence in the forest - Anything that you haven’t used or handled in the last 6
months, that you’re not gonna use it immediately in a few weeks get rid of
it. Give it away.—You only surround yourself with thins that are alive with
energy - Constantly move away from clutter toward the simplicity
STEP 24: Fear Not Death; Accept It, Live Life
- From the ego’s opinions come its considerations and needs.
From its considerations and needs come all the contradictions of life. Contradictions
create anguish & emotional upset. - Accept flow. Accept that today you’re here, and tomorrow
you’re not necessarily here. - One of the meditations I
would like you to do as apart of expanding your awareness is to imagine
yourself floating up through the atmosphere, into the stratosphere and
beyond, and turn and look back at the earth. Now, in your mind’s eye, move
the earth forward to some future date. Look at the planet below you, and
take a moment to see how the planet would be in, say, 200 years’ time. Observe
the planet with you not there. - In your mind’s eye, call the
gremlin of death over and tell it you want to kiss it. Run your fingers
through the gremlin’s hair and pull its head back and then kiss it—and
when you do, bit its tongue out. Spit it out and push the gremlin down,
make it sit in a corner. Say, “Listen, you little tongueless brat, you sit
here in silence till I call for you, and don’t bug me. When I’m ready,
we’ll go to the next dimension hand in hand, as friends and heroes. Please
don’t take it personally, me biting your tongue out, that is—I love you.
Wait here. I’ll be back for you one day. - Half the fear of change is the fear of not knowing. You
don’t have to know all the time. - Don’t hold on. Don’t worry about things coming &
going. - People are attracted to energy because energy is life. Energy
is the only real currency and the only real security. In creating energy,
you heighten other people’s security. - You’ll never be more alive than the moment after you’re
dead - Take life in a light-heated way. Laugh a lot. Be
responsible. Be ordered. Be disciplined. Laugh. Laugh. Seriousness is the
disease of the ego. Cf. Einstein
STEP 25: Avoid Becoming a Guru
- Teach from humility, not from ego.
- Restriction serves a purpose because it allows us to understand
freedom. Manipulation servers a purpose because it allows us to become
magnanimous and free. You can’t have one without the other. - The greatest teaching is your example. It’s you as you.
- You can’t pick them up.
- Don’t be seduced by power, money, show biz, and glamour.
- Don’t use your power over people sexually or
psychologically. Don’t use fear. Don’t rip people off.
STEP 26: Physical Discipline
- Spiritual journey is not effortless because you’re gonna
wrestling the ego into control. It involves discipline. - You need physical discipline to calm your emotions and
control the ego. - Study and know the physical body. Cf. Pancreas
- Nutritional discipline:
ü Do not give it the things that it craves
ü 80% alkalinity (fruits, vegetables); 20% acidity (carbohydrates,
fats, oils, protein)
- The doctor is going to come out of pure tick tock
- Exercise
- People on rarefied diets wind up getting sick
- Be kind to it. Give it as much rest and balance and as
many alkaline foods as you can. Don’t strain it. - Fasting: I take a load of
vegetables, especially ones that are high in potassium, and make up a soup
of potatoes, green beans, onions, cauliflower, and parsley and so on. I
boil it up and skim off just the juice and drink that during my fast.
Fasting really helps you take control. - Use the technology that’s available if you need to use it.
STEP 27: Emotional Discipline
- You have to sympathize with their tribal emotion. Let them
be without judging or criticizing them. Distance yourself from tribal
emotion. Cf. Inflation shock - Don’t get sucked into the emotional lack, and don’t get
sucked into your own emotions. When you feel negative, immediately nip
that emotion in the bud. - You have to control the
balance fast. So as soon as you find yourself getting out of control, pullback and sit down; visualize yourself standing above yourself, look back
at this lovely person that is you, and ask yourself, “What’s upsetting
her?” or “What’s he angry about?” - All confusion comes from asking questions: confusion comes
from complexity, and complexity comes from the intellect. Ask less
questions. - Anger comes from loss. Figure out what is that you’ve
lost, and agree to lose it. - Frustration comes from your intellectual disease of having
to put things into time frames. Frustration is a disease of not having
enough patience. - Being a workaholic is a disease of the ego.
- The Infinite Self cannot be insecure
STEP 28: Mental Discipline
- Sometimes being intellectual is a huge spiritual
disadvantage. - If you’re not bright, thank the God Force for not making
you too intellectual. “The tallest tree is the first tree to cut down.” - “To remain whole, be twisted!
To become straight, let yourself be bent,
To become full, be hollow…” - Do not make your mind God and becoming too arrogant
- Excess thinking is a disease
- Agree to feel secure in a dimension that is intrinsically
insecure - Cure yourself of gradually the disease of over-thinking: Start
pushing your feeling into things: visualize circumstances: “How does it
feel?” Even inanimate objects have feeling - When you know something’s wrong, stop. Retreat. Take a
good look at it, and act. - Don’t act until you’re certain
- Without meditation disciplines, quite time, introspection,
it’s very hard to wrestle the intellect into stillness - Don’t allow yourself to worry about things that are coming
down the line - What you need is serenity, not a bunch of mental dribble
that makes you dissatisfied.
STEP 29: Philosophical Discipline
- Every rule and regulation is a fence in the prison that
you create for yourself - Rules are imposed from the above; discipline is joyously
took on because you know they raise your energy & quieten the mind - Stay away from talking about your philosophy to other
people. Stay away from trying to win people over with your philosophy or
demonstrating. - Study the rudiments of psychology. Cf. Transference,
archetypes, psychological traits, compulsions & urges, etc - Discrimination is a manifestation of an irritated,
insecure ego. - Have as few beliefs, dogmas, rules & regulations as
possible.
STEP 30: Spiritual Discipline
- One exercise I recommend is,
every so often when you find yourself with a quite moment, close your eyes
and visualize the divine Light hitting you in the forehead and the heart,
bathing your body. Visualize it for five to ten seconds, then stop. Then
do it again. You will find that, in this simple exercise, you begin to
pull more and more of that infinite force into your life. - Spirituality is invisible
- Don’t talk unless people ask you to. If they ask you, give
them a little bit. A little bit here, a little bit there, that’s all you
have to do - Basically, spiritual discipline is staying in the
emanations of the God Force, believing when you can’t see, knowing when
you can’t logically confirm it, being secure when everything around you
looks insecure, being silent in a noisy world, being abundant when people
tell you we’re running out of everything. Stay inside that spirituality,
and if you lose it, come back. Pull back. Organize. Be silent. Mediate.
Pray. Take a steambath or some kind of nurturing body work. Go on a fast.
Constantly purify yourself. - Be humble. Be brave, but don’t be showy. If you teach,
teach from a distance. Teach from your energy, and leave.
STEP 31: Quest
- As you become lighter, your energy goes up, and you’ll
kill off your own personality. Cf. Jesus Christ on the Crucifix as a
symbol of the death of the ego - In the end, you have to kill off the ego, and go through
your quite time, and retreat within the yin of the Infinite Self and the
spirit within - Kill off the dominance of the personality, ego
STEP 32: Fusion
- Fusion is consolidation of power. You can see it by
reactivating your peripheral perception. - It’s nothing more than
constantly asking yourself, “What is to my left, and what is to my right?”
Then look to the side without moving your eye. Doing this, you begin to
activate the rods in your eyes. - Spread your arms out on
either side of you, and start moving them toward your back. Notice when
they disappear from your view. Broaden your field of vision by looking at
the side constantly, and over a few months, your peripheral vision starts
to come back. - “I am what I am.”
STEP 33: The Initiate
- You don’t need to die. What you need is the courage to
evolve.
