Guidelines For Self Mastery

Self mastery is often defined as self-control, the ability to exert a strong will against our impulses to steer our future to one of our choosing. But this is only one aspect of the term. Self mastery requires having a vision for your future self. And harnessing the will to realise that vision. The best way to learn to master yourself is by getting out of your own way. Strip away what you are not, in order to understand who and what you really are, to realise your potential in the process. These twelve guidelines are designed to assist you on your path. It will point out the pitfalls and offer suggestions to support your efforts in your own personal spiritual development.

1. Self Actualisation

Free yourself from being a victim of circumstance and create a willingness to be accountable for all perceivable manifestations as direct projections of intended learning from your personal consciousness

2. Self Sovereignty

Free yourself from the need for approval from others, or the need to rebel against any form of external authority. Through understanding that you, as a manifestation of the God Source, have the ability to create personal freedom without violating the spiritual rights of others and without allowing others to violate your spiritual rights of being.

3 Self Containment

Take personal responsibility at all times for your actions, as you are accountable for directing your personal energies. There is no one or no thing that “upsets you” and thus justifies or validates any personal spiritual misuse of reaction, idea, intention or action; You alone upset yourself by allowing the emotional body to follow misperceptions of the mental body that tell you your power lies outside of yourself. Self containment comes when one recognises that the direction of personal energies–physical, emotional and mental (ideas, beliefs, labels, interpretations), conscious and subconscious, is an attainable level of personal mastery and exists as an implied responsibility that comes with the gift of free will choice. The more responsible you become, the greater freedom and personal empowerment you will know.

4. Self Discipline

Accepting responsibility for directing personal energies toward, rather than in opposition to, the outcomes you desire to experience. The physical, mental and emotional bodies have long been directed by the subconscious forces of the hidden “shadow,” creating within us urges, reactions, thoughts, impulses, perceptions and feelings that often work counter to the life creations we desire to manifest. Part of spiritual mastery entails teaching yourself to be consciously diligent in observing your own mind, emotions and physical body-talk, so that you may employ a conscious redirection of subconscious shadow energies that run on auto-pilot. Self-discipline emerges when you consistently remind yourself to employ the spiritually correct thought, action or attitude, even if you don’t feel like it when the shadow sneaks up from “down under.”

5. Self Love

It is your own responsibility to love and nurture yourself through the limitless gift of Divine Spirit that moves through you at every moment; genuine love must come from within, and can only be through genuine spiritual connection to the eternal God-self and its inherent connection to all creation. If you seek love from the outside, in order to fulfil a personal loneliness or lack within, you enter into relationships as energy vampires; seeking a substitute for your personal spiritual connection through tapping into the spirit embodied within other people or beings. Once you recognise that you have the greatest love of all – "God Love", and from this position of "Divine Power", you can go into the world seeking those to whom you can give this love, rather than seeking those from whom you can “get” love.

6. Spiritual Integrity

It is your absolute responsibility to chose to act with spiritual integrity at al times; there is no excuse to knowingly violate the spiritual rights of others, regardless of how poorly they may react to you. Spiritual integrity requires that you begin to look at what we are really doing in the way you live your life. It requires that you take a good hard, frequent look at how you conduct your life, face the areas of activity in which you are performing in less than spiritually congruent ways, and employ active commitment and discipline to bring these areas of your life into Spiritual Integrity. One does not “get through the gates of Heaven” (or anywhere else desirable) through using excuse for not employing genuine, not feigned, Spiritual Integrity.

7. Appreciation

If you begin to believe that “you are entitled” or that “Someone owes you” whether it is God, the Universe, your parents, spouse, children, employer, government, etc… and once you fall into the “You owe me” mind trap, you are setting yourself up for continuing self-created frustration, as you place unrealistic and untrue expectations upon life, others and yourself. You then get angry or hurt when you find the universe doesn’t conform to your imagined picture. No one owes you anything … if you feel you are “owed,” then you are entertaining what is "lack consciousness" . where a large void within yourself is being recognised. If you simply give to another in order to receive for yourself, and the other does not pay back what you expected to receive, you may feel cheated, taken advantage of, or “owed”. Instead learn the lesson that giving should be done for the "giving alone", and not for the expected return. If you give what you desire to give, for the joy of giving, you do not feel owed … if you live for the joy of living, without forcing your demands or expectations upon life, you will not feel that “life has short changed you” Appreciate what you have, love it, find perspectives through which the joy of it can be known, and know that in the act of genuine appreciation itself you will set loose the powers of manifesting more of what you desire and less of the illusion of lack. "The Universe owes me” mind trip is one of the most powerful self-sabotage games in the world …trade it in for consistent appreciation and your world will progressively expand to hold the reality of the things you most desire.

8. Patience

Patience has its own schedule! You can either acknowledge this intrinsic reality of manifestation and choose to work co-creatively with the God-spirit within, trusting that together you and the universe will create the perfect “Divine Right Timing” or you can let the ego self try to force its will upon the intrinsic nature of time. If time does not cooperate with your expectations, you can “let that be OK, and trust in Divine Right Timing” or you can progressively frustrate yourself with attachment to the artificial time of clocks, and choose to believe that you cannot have what you desire just because it does not appear when you demand. Learn to relax, and realise that most things you desire can indeed be achieved, in Divine Right Time and Order, you can learn to work co-creatively with the consciousness of time, and find that it will progressively better conform to your wishes when you ask nicely, rather than demean, and when you trust the universal God spirit to do its part in your co-creation. Patience is a virtue that reflects your comprehension of the nature of Universal Order.

9 Kindness

Like respect, kindness is a birthright, but one that is quite often overlooked and misunderstood. When you approach the world through genuine kindheartedness, sending love and respect to all of creation in Honor of the God Force that lives within all things, you are transmitting electrical energy of a higher frequency, that will follow the mechanics of universal physics to bring more of like kind back to you through universal back flow. Kindness is a gift you must first give to yourself, in order to have it, to give to others. Kindness implies being concerned and caring toward the needs, feelings and desires of both the self and others, and to express in action, attitude and intention this concern.

10. Conservation

Conservation is a form of respect and appreciation for the God Source Force energy in all of its expression, from conserving and protecting our natural resources, to being attentive to the needs of our bodies, to using the energies of your words and actions with gentle conservation by which you freely use what is needed, but not more.

11. Dipolomacy

Existence is and will always be a co-creative endeavour. You must be willing to allow other beings the fulfilment of their needs and desires if you hope to have your fulfilment known. Creating "win/win" situations is the natural way of being; creating with the intention of giving genuinely. You might not always agree with the intended creations of others, and we all have a right to our points of view. Yet diplomacy can be a bridge between forces of opposition, through which effective actions or decisions can be reached to mutually support each perspective. You can learn to agree to disagree respectfully, so the spiritual art of co-operative co-creation can progressively evolve to higher levels of expression.

12. Common Sense

Learning to identify and appropriately apply both common sense and the ”uncommon sense” of spiritual knowing will allow you to establish the greatest balance of energy expression within all aspects of our lives.
