We come into this world with nothing and leave us with nothing, so it is useless to try to acquire a lot of material goods while we are here - because there is no net gain. Our material balance is always zero at the beginning of our life and it is always zero at the end of our life, and nobody is ever to change this situation! But that is another spiritual history of our balance sheet. If we end our lives with a level of consciousness that we have begun, we can claim success. Adding our balance sheet by the spiritual development of our conscience is the only objective remains the same in every life, no matter who we are.
All living things have an inherent drive to evolve, to become the highest expression of life and fully realize themselves. Personal development is the willingness to cooperate with this natural evolutionary process, but an understanding of the processes involved is necessary to be truly effective. We only learn lessons and develop new faculties of experience; theoretical learning does not develop consciousness. For example, see the word "fear" in the press is not the same as the first-hand experience - that is why we incarnate.
During the lower stages of human development, material selfish ambitions and nature are justified because they lead us to and from the top. But once we have progressed beyond the lower steps we no longer have any use for these reasons, and they are phased out of our being. Finally, we come to understand that nothing outside of us can bring lasting peace or satisfaction, and the only way we can achieve this is to develop our consciousness.
Methods Development
There are two main methods of self-development:
1. Active: The path of the student to work actively to your own development. Your level of awareness is directly linked to what you choose to focus your attention on. For example, a person who reaches the end of phase developed naturally focuses much of their attention to the mental and intellectual interests, but they are content to limit their discussion to matters intellectual they will not 'further progress. They must actively decide to study abstract and conceptual (such as esotericism) to attract the highest vibration issue of causation and begin to develop the subjective consciousness of causality. Examples of active development are constant conscience in life now, meditation and visualization exercises.
2. Passive: the path of holy "to forget about your car and your life devoted to serving others. Use other means to assist and protect those who are less developed, less experienced, less capable or less than you are. All monads are developing energy-dependent and assistance from the next higher kingdom, but the condition of receiving such aid is service to others. Life is give and take - we give those who are less developed than we are and receive from those who are more developed than us.
Most often, people use a combination of both or switch between different incarnations. Personality types (rays) 1, 3, 5 and 7 are generally more inclined to the method and active types 2, 4 and 6 are generally attracted by the passive method. There are many different paths, but they all lead to the same destination, some are more sinuous than others but all eventually get there.
Control of Conscience
To become whole, we must integrate the subtle body of our personality by learning to control their energy and conscience. Emotional awareness can not be controlled by the mental awareness and mental consciousness can not be controlled by the conscience of causality, etc. The main challenge for most people is for the spirit to take control over emotions and emotional desires of the body. This does not mean ignoring our emotions or kill them off altogether, it simply means we control, rather than us to control them. An integrated and balanced persona is the natural result of breaking the automated behavior and reactions in our bodies subtle.
The automated responses from our emotional body give rise to all sorts of feelings about our self and others. Learning to ignore these emotional reactions is very difficult but extremely important aspect of human development, because if we do not neglect them at the end and give them the attention that we strengthen inadvertently. Get rid of old patterns of behavior is a prerequisite for the acquisition of higher consciousness. We are not free to determine if we do the content of our own mind, so we must learn to control our attention in order not to wander aimlessly and strengthen every thought or feeling through our subtle bodies.
Our sub-conscious feeds continually watch our conscience with thoughts, feelings and impulses of our consciousness Standby are assumed itself. Our conscience continually watch our sub-conscious flow with bad habits, illusions and fictions. Thus, negative thoughts and concepts are continually recycled shadow between our conscious and sub-conscious mind, which strengthens our weaknesses. This vicious cycle can be broken only by the continuing awareness of our thoughts and feelings to ensure that we do pay attention to (and strengthen) positive influences and quickly throw the negative effects. Finally, the negative stimuli will grow so weak they are unable to send pulses of awakening in consciousness.
Develop an awareness
Develops awareness by moving our attention away from the activity within our subtle body (the senses, emotions and thoughts) and the realization of our soul (over itself or second triad). We freeing of identification with our bodies is particularly difficult and time consuming aspect of our evolution. It can not be achieved by refusing to pay attention to the lowest impulses of our subtle bodies, ie negative feelings, emotions and thoughts. This causes the lower molecular types within our subtle bodies gradually lose their vitality and become redundant; only then can they be replaced by higher molecular types.
To make progress, we must free ourselves of the automatic modes of our sub-conscious (for continually "watching" our consciousness) and identify more with our super-consciousness (through meditation and living in this "). We must also devote our development towards the service of humanity and not to do so for personal gain. Take care not for our own development and to place the needs of humanity ahead of our own is the only way we can overcome our own selfish nature and attain enlightenment. We must not think about what we stay or how many incarnations, because these things do not matter. What is important is to make the best of the incarnation we are now. If we rush to reach enlightenment we will never get there because we have not learned the most important lesson of all: You need forget your car to free your car. By helping yourself you help anybody, but by helping others you also help.
We must be careful not to develop a "spiritual ego" or think we are special because we are more advanced than others. A spiritual ego is no better than an ego but that is a trap we all fall in many times during our human development. It is not possible to overcome the ego by fighting on the front because our monad, everything is centered in the first triad we are the ego, it would be like punching ourselves in the face. The only way to overcome the ego is to transcend, to move into the second triad and become our soul. To achieve this objective (lights), we must :
1. Float our autonomy of our ego (the first triad auto or less) actively to the needs of others before ours.
2. Identify our self with our soul (self triad second or more) through mediation, contemplation, visualization, the desire for unity and development of virtuous qualities.
This dual approach gradually tips the balance of power in favor of our greater autonomy and assistance in taking control of any selfish self.
The rapid development
The rapid development is the reward of selflessness - we develop the fastest by helping others realize the meaning of life and to live in accordance with the laws of life. To help others understand, we must first have an understanding of life and the stages of human development. We must understand the difficulties they faced at each stage, their motivations and what they can seize. Trying to force people to accept a belief system is a violation of their freedom for those who are content with their beliefs and vision of the world should be welcomed with loving understanding, even if they are wrong. They will have many opportunities in the future incarnations correct their views. In the meantime, we must respect the fact that their beliefs are appropriate to their current level of development. Everyone who thinks about the meaning of life is gradually develops their own belief system. Initially, it will be imperfect but over time, perhaps many incarnations, it will gradually build in a system of knowledge and description of reality that matches those in the fifth reign - those who are gave esotericism.
Two other factors contribute to rapid development - awareness and will. The constant awareness of our desires, emotions and thoughts is of paramount importance because we can not meet our weaknesses if we are not aware of them. Once we become aware of an issue we obviously need the will power to overcome them. Will power is also necessary to support our efforts of a lifetime or a series of life.
Each new effort gives rise to resistance from the person. May it seems that when you start on the way things are in the conspiracy, it is difficult for you. Do not be discouraged by this - it is just a test to see if you are in the task. The spiritual journey of the aspirant is a right toward the mountain while the path of normal person is the one that winds around the mountain. The first is much more difficult, but the rewards are much greater. Many embark on a steep trajectory but lack the commitment to follow to the end. They put in a concerted effort at first but quickly and give back again. It is better to make a steady and sustainable pace because of a life of commitment is necessary if you really want to succeed. Do not necessarily expect immediate results or you become demoralized and May fell again. Thus, the tests that we face as we begin our journey will be for our own protection, they prevent us from proceeding if we're not really ready.
