There will be times, days or nights, when your sphere of operations, your circle of friends, your place of work, etc., will be performing well. Everything will seem perfect and pleasurable. Then there will be times when most of the people and activities in your world are satisfactory and cheerful, but one or two will be off; slightly unfavorable. Finally, there will be such times when everyone and everything in your life seems turned upside down. It will feel as though every aspect of your entire existence is against you. All of these different combinations of experience are mere illusions. Your situation is always the same regardless of what is going on around you, regardless of the temper and humor of those around you. With the exception of extreme catastrophe such as wars, plagues and Alien invasions, you are unchanging. Your station in life is unchanging in spite of the seeming chaos around you. You are the only person or event which can change your position in the great Life Hierarchy. If you allow external circumstances to adversely affect and influence you, then it is YOU, not the external circumstances, who are changing the state of your life for the worse. Likewise, only YOU can change the state of your life for the better. The secret is to realize that patterns exist. There is a recurring pattern of moods and circumstances outside of you but within your sphere of operations. Become consciously aware of the fact that even if you are happy all the time, there are still going to be those around you who will not be happy. There will also, in spite of your unwavering jolliness, be situations which fluctuate between a perceived good and bad. Mark the words; perceived good and bad. Even in the extreme catastrophe situations previously mentioned a great deal of what is good or bad is only PERCEIVED as good or bad. During a war, you may be hurt or killed or taken prisoner. You may also learn a new skill which you can earn a great deal of money with in the private sector after the war is over. During a plague, you may be infected and die a horrible, agonizing, grotesque death. You may also be one of the few surviving who can carry the remaining civilization forward, making you a valuable asset and therefore much in demand. During an Alien invasion you may be exploited as a slave or you may be the beneficiary of new technologies which greatly improve the quality of your life. Regardless of the people, beings, events and circumstances around you, if you are consciously aware of the recurring patterns in a given life cycle and your independence thereof, you can continue the progress of your life uninterrupted. Do not give in to the temptation of becoming frustrated, angry or depressed. This will do you no favor in kind. Do not rebel against that which you cannot control, because with calmness of mind and agility of rational thought, you can control everything. Remember, time itself is but an illusion. Maintain your focus. Proceed in your concentration knowing that what is here today will be gone tomorrow and what comes tomorrow shall be replaced by what comes the day after. The quality of your present is independent of recurring patterns. The station of your life is determined not by individuals or groups or events around you, but by you yourself. Make your present be what you want it to be by looking beyond the future. See the future not as something which is going to happen, but as something which has already happened. Do not be surprised by future events, be prepared for them. The best way to prepare for future events is to interpret that they are going to happen as if they already have. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
