Gaining Power
Approach each task in your life, no matter how simple or how complex, with power.
Personal power is really the issue. It is only through tremendous attention to detail that you will be able to gain personal power and searing self-honesty.
Happy people, enlightened people, successful people all share something in common. They have learned how to manage and increase their energy.
You can simulate perfection, but it's not the same. Some one can do a copy of Rembrandt, but it's not a Rembrandt. It doesn't have the vibration or the power.
If you want to succeed always associate with winners, people who have understood something. You will notice that they all share something in common, tremendous attention to detail in their personal lives and associations.
Power has destroyed many people - not really. Power doesn't destroy anyone. People apply it poorly and it can ruin their lives. Power is like fire. Fire is neither good nor bad. It's how you use it.
There are two sides to increasing energy. One is avoiding loss. The other is learning how to gain energy.
Meditate on your own and refine your consciousness. Tighten up your life. Constantly examine your life and look for weak points. You know what's going on in your life.
You can draw power from everything in your life. In order to do that, everything has to be set up in a proper way.
Turn your life into a field of power and energy to draw from.
We may have a tiny little room that we rent, and if we keep it clean and it's impeccable, then we gain a power from that.
If we have a giant mansion and we don't keep it as well as that room, then our yoga isn't good and our attention field will be very poor and we won't have power, and we'll be totally hooked on the transient .
Take your energy - instead of losing it in all the little hassles and all the little battles you could have fought with opponents who didn't matter.
You must have tremendous power of focus to direct your life and not allow all these variant forces, different vibrations, to enter you.
You have got to get your power up and do something and not just sit around.
Always be optimistic. Always be positive! And ignore those who aren't, because they’re obviously confused, and out of touch with light.
You need to constantly examine your life, inner and outer, to see where you are losing and gaining power.
There are two sides to increasing energy. One is avoiding loss, the other is learning how to gain energy.
Things that raise your energy usually don't involve humans; things that cause energy loss usually involve humans.
Think of your life as a field. The field is the field of action. What a mystic does is set up their life as a field of power.
Your life either takes your energy or gives you energy. Set up your life so that it gives you energy.
Avoid the things in your life that take away from your stillness. Find things that add to that stillness. Bring them more into your life. It doesn't matter what works or doesn't. It is all individual.
It is necessary to do a very thorough examination of your life and to discover whether the people in your life, no matter how much you love them, are using you or abusing you.
Make lists. Write down the things that give you power. Write down the things that take your power away also. Make lists of people close to you. Are you associations raising you to a higher level of attention?
Take out two pieces of paper. One piece of paper, list all the people you know who are adding to your life.
Then on the other piece of paper, list all the people you know who are taking more than they're adding. Include people from the past.
It is necessary to bring our life in order, to examine each thing, and ask ourselves if it is bringing power into our life or if it is draining us. Ask yourself, is your life taking power from you or adding power to you?
What will increase one person's personal power will not necessarily be the same for another.
Energy is gained by giving energy. When we give energy, we gain energy. This is different than having someone manipulate you and take your energy.
There is an art, a science to gaining power. There is a natural force or inclination in all of our beings to accumulate power. The problem that we come into is conditioning.
When we experience fear, it cuts us off from our power. It cuts us off from knowledge and experience. It is a guillotine that falls and separates.
Fears are just conditioning. They don't exist. They are something that we are taught by people who are afraid or seek to make us afraid. It is time to unload the baggage.
Step one in overcoming fears is to make a fear list. Make a list of all the things that you are afraid of. Start out with the small fears and conquer them.
Overcoming fear has nothing to do with abandoning common sense. We retain our common sense, but we lose that emotion that is fear.
How to overcome fear? Be around people who are fearless.
If you are afraid of other people take a martial arts class. The best way to overcome fear is learn to be proficient in martial arts.
Go out and do the things you are afraid to do gradually. Gain the power to do that through meditating. You will find yourself limitless reality that knows no fear.
Be a perpetual beginner. Always be inspired. It is that attitude of inspiration and belief that creates energy.
If you are happier than you have ever been, then your power is increasing. But is it a fast a rate of climb as you would like?
You will gain energy by meditating deeply, by speaking the truth, by learning to be still and by avoiding the crowd, most of the time, not all of the time.
The December – January period is the strongest time of the year. It is an easy time to shift states of mind.
The Winter Solstice is the time of ending and beginning, a powerful time –- a time to contemplate your immortality. A time to forgive, to be forgiven, and to make a fresh start. A time to awaken.
It is really important that you live in a place that has good energy. Where you sleep, where you dream, where you meditate, where you spend a lot of time is key.
You need to turn your room into a place of power. It's a good idea to have flowers around, candles, incense, you know, happy things. Make your room into a beautiful place and keep it impeccably clean.
The place that you gain the most power is within your own mind. Stopping thought generates power. That is why people meditate. The longer you can stop thought, the more power you gain
If you are finding that you can stop thought longer and longer, I would say your life is bringing power into your being. You are gaining things out from that field behind the house.
You gain power through practicing meditation and concentration. You gain power by doing anything you like that makes you feel good. You gain power by being happy.
Read books that expand you, that are bright. See films, plays, art forms that elevate your consciousness, that bring you into a sense of how beautiful this world is, how beautiful other worlds are, how beautiful nirvana, the transcendental is.
A person who seeks power usually goes into other dimensional planes to find it. Then they bring that power back into this world and they use it to enhance their life.
Learn that there are things that you can do that cause you to save more energy, so that you can sustain yourself in more levels of attention simultaneously.
Your understanding of the astral dimensions can help you alter structures in the physical dimensions. It is in and through the medium of the astral dimensions that all of the siddha powers function and work.
Meditation will bring back the powers and awareness from the past; more importantly, it will expand your consciousness today.
What you need to learn are basic types of concentration, bringing more energy into your life, plugging up the holes where you lose energy, the basics of self-discovery.
The way we measure awareness is by how long you can stop thought. If you can't stop thought at all, then you are not powerful. You might be quite evolved, but you have no access to that evolution.
The unlocking of the kundalini, which occurs by meditating on the first, second and third chakras, is the entrance into the planes of power.
There can be very powerful releases of energy that can catch you off guard until you have a better sense of what you are doing.
I would recommend, initially, if you are trying to increase your personal power level, to meditate on the navel center, not the lower two.
Power comes from the navel center. If you meditate for an hour or so a day and you focus on that sphere, you will release a tremendous power that will enter your body. We call it the chi.
Personal power is the reflection of a person of knowledge. A person of knowledge, an enlightened person, a person even close to enlightenment, has a great deal of personal power.
The reason you study with a teacher is primarily for the empowerments, for someone who is enlightened to transfer power to you. What is most important is that the student uses that power intelligently and wisely.
An enlightened teacher teaches you how to gain power. They give you power. They teach you how to shape it so that it becomes an instrument of beauty and not an instrument of unhappiness.
A teacher will alter the balance of power by actually lifting a person into other states of mind. In those states of mind the teaching will take place in non-verbal ways through direct experience.
If the teacher sees that it will cause a person to progress, he will ask that person to do a task. The task is charged with power and if it's performed properly.
A good teacher will show you the ropes in the world of power. They will give you the wisdom that is necessary to be able to use power. You just don't give a kid a new Ferrari. You teach him how to drive it.
Naturally you need someone who is versed in the ways of power to teach you a thing or two about it. When you reach the next power level, they will teach you more. It is very much like the study of martial arts.
Enter into the plane of mental development. Start to increase your personal power level. Your life will become quite wonderful and very happy. You move beyond delusion.
