Meditations on the Self (Part I)

• 1-      Do not seek the acceptance of others. The only acceptance you should strive for is that of your own Self’s.
• 2-      I have seen those who like to call themselves Perfectionists. These people try to have their own Self get their way even in matters they have no control upon or does not lie in their true power. Here the Self transforms into The Beast of the Ego. It loses its connection with the truth and drowns in error.
• 3-      Focus on things that you can control. As long as your intentions are pure, you are leading a good life. 
• 4-      ‘Whatever the world may say or do, my part is to keep myself good. Whatever the world may say or do, my part is to remain an emerald and keep my colour true.’
• 5-      ‘Nothing can be good for a man unless it helps to make him just , self-disciplined, courageous, and independent; and nothing bad unless it has the contrary effect.’
• 6-      Strengthen your resolve so that no event can be strong enough to shake your peace. How to strengthen your resolve? By training and living according to the rules of the Self. A wide vaccuum will be created in which events have no place.
• 7-      Heaven and hell, light and darkness; you are everything. Take your time. And build your Self. Then take your time to destroy it. Then take your time to rebuild it again. Until you accept the process as a necessary part of existence, you’re still blinded by the Beast of the Ego.
• 8-      Kill or be killed? -You hold the divinity in you. Spread the message and forgive the blind.
