YOUR FINAL VICTORY OVER THE INTIMATE ENEMY


·         False nature serves no purpose to all.
·         This false nature is similar to Freud’s concept of the ego. Freud looked upon the ego as a complex mechanical structure developed at the interface between the self and the physical world. Ego is really formulated to be a servant of self.
·         The real struggle in our search for self-victory is to change the nature of our struggle. A whole new kind of action is called for. We must cease our struggles to be victories over our perceived enemy and struggle instead to ally ourselves with that which has already won the battle.
·         Dare to walk away from all the familiar but useless mental and emotional relationships that give you a temporary but unsatisfactory self. This form of seeming self-abandonment eventually turns into your greatest pleasure. Only when you know, who you are not will you know who you really are. Don’t be afraid of open spaces. Seek the truth not security.
·         Hatred for anyone or for anything destroys the one who hates. This is unequivocal spiritual law.
·         A man is not what he possesses but is rather, what possesses him. And since it is possible to choose what possesses you, which you start doing by refusing to be possessed of dark spirits, this means you can choose in favor over and over again as many times as necessary of what’s authentically good and true for you.
·         All negative feelings are just illustrates of power, not real powers in and of themselves, which frees us , is to challenge these states with our new and higher understanding of their true nature.
·          All children must be disciplined. This doesn’t mean punished by the supervising adults own strictness, strong correction, unyielding direction. We don’t treat kid’s right, so that they grow and learn right values because when the time comes for us to be right person, there is residual wrongness in us Anger, fear, resentment. Rather than facing our own weaknesses, we accept the child’s and hope that they will turn out right. It’s necessary to accept a child’s short comings, but that child must not be allowed to start accepting his or her negative states or acts as necessary.
·         Better then which side to choose in a fight is living where there are no fights, no conflict at all.
·         We begin to change when we stop blaming reality, accept that it was our lack of understanding that created the problem, and learn the lesson for next time.
·         We need to only become aware, when we win the inner victory, no state or condition can conquer us again.
·         The trial by fire, regardless of appearances is always the same one. Put yourself two questions daily :-
1.      Does it make any sense to light myself on fire because someone else, anyone else, insists on burning for whatever reason?
2.      If someone else is on fire, already burning with mental and emotional flames, what need do I have to punish that person further, or to show that person the error of his or her ways.
·         You can’t have what’s new and cling to the old. Letting go of ourself is the trial by fire. We must do what is true even when we are sure it spells the end for who we’ve always been.
·         We are only in wrong relationship with others to the degree that we are trying to take something from that relationship.
·         Desert winds neither move nor disturb mountain pines.
