Dear CeeKaye:
To put it very succinctly:
There are in every human being two great Principles:
1) the SPIRITUAL and Divine -- which knows everything and shares
its wisdom with all other spiritual beings
2.) th Personality which is like a pupil trying to become
spiritual. It has a curriculum displayed before it of the
science of Universal Life and of the Goal (graduation ?) of
Perfection.
It remains for it to choose where and what i will do. It also
decides how far and how fast it will go.
THEOSOPHY may be said to be like a "curriculum." It provides us
with a view of the depths and the time-periods we have available
to use. It also says that we can transform ourselves from
limited perspectives to unlimited wisdom.
Best wishes,
Dallas

What is Self-Empowerment and Integrity?
The positive path is the integral path. The only "one truth" is
that THE
truth is the composite of all truths. There is no "one truth" or
one
reality. If there were only one truth there would only be one
person, place,
thing. Look around you. All beings are all the ways that "All
That Is" has
of expressing itself (these truths) within the creation that it
is. It is
the disbelief in one's own power to be what it inspires them to
be that
creates negativity and the belief in the need to attack ideas
that the
negative ego fears will invalidate identity.
Self-Empowered- Is the recognition that we have everything we
need at any
given moment to be the fullest we can be. It embraces the idea
that we know
we create our reality 100% by what we believe and/or have been
taught to
believe to be "true." The empowered individual recognizes that
their reality
is created from all levels of psychic material, i.e.,
unconscious,
conscious, collective unconscious, superconscious, and that
although they
may be at a loss in the present to understand how the reality
they have
created fits, it still must fit, and that sooner or later they
will
understand why they have created what they have created. They
understand
that the physical world is the effect of the non-physical
spiritual template
archetypally, and that all springs from the inner self which is
connected
firmly to "All That Is". This archetypal template is reflected
through the
Zodiac and galactic and planetary relationships.
Empowerment comes from within. Knowing we are as connected to the
ALL as we
will ever be, we can trust that we lack nothing, we have all the
tools and
all the abilities that we require at any given moment to be
anything we are
willing and bold enough to believe we can define ourselves to be.
We are
always in control 100% even when we use 90% to create the
illusion that we
have only the other 10%. No one can make us feel inferior, thwart
our
inspirations, or derail what we know to be true for ourselves
without our
agreement and consent. The self-empowered being recognizes that
the universe
has no built-in meaning and this view is the unbiased and
discerning view.
Taking responsibility (not guilt) for our reality because we know
it is our
creation, is the self-empowered approach. Many confuse
acknowledging one's
creations with believing we must be punished or shamed for them
(guilt, the
opposite of love). This is from judging the creation and hence
ourselves,
not taking responsibility for it.
Integrity= Functioning as an integrated whole self, without
placing power
outside of the self, because nothing is truly outside of the
self. Integrity
consists of the recognition that we are as powerful as we need to
be to
create whatever we desire to create in our reality, without
having to MALIGN
or HURT ourselves or anyone else in order to create it
(power-LESS
behavior). We are always a part of the problem or of the
solution. Our
position on this scale is defined by our actions. Action is the
evidence of
the convictions, intentions, and beliefs held by an individual.
Intention
can only be conveyed by the creator of the intention (please see
my
discussions of discernment vs. projection). If it is true for
them, then
integrity will follow and only the positive can result from
integral
intentions.
Because we create our reality utterly, we are not responsible FOR
anyone
only responsible TO them by being as much as we can be in
integrity by
following our bliss and excitement and discerning our OWN
intention. The All
is vibration, and the vibration you are within this all will BE
the reality
you experience everywhere, all the time. No matter what other
reality may be
in existence at any given moment. It always works this way, and
no-one is
exempt.
Negative beliefs do not have any more power than positive.
Ridicule is
negative and tells us of the perpetrator, not the ridiculed.
These ideas are
choices, so they are not necessarily "unfortunate", for every
being creates
their reality utterly as the product of what they believe or have
been
taught to believe is true. The truth is composed of all truths
within any
given system of reference containing its own reinforcing logic.
Any
individual or group who acts as though they must force their
opinions and
beliefs upon any other faction, cannot believe in the power of
those beliefs
themselves.
Individuals can choose act in positive ways or in negative ways.
A) Positive is simply integrative, unifying, expansive, inclusive
as a WHOLE
(integral).
B) Negative is separative, segregative, limited, conflicted
functions in
PARTS.
But the positive individual, by the light by which they shine,
will simply
show the negative individual(s) that they are;
A) Untouchable and unthwarted by anything that is not of a
similar
vibration. And that;
B) They offer back to the negative individual(s) an offering of a
choice, a
choice to also be positive. If the other(s) do not choose to be
positive
then they can simply go their own way, for that which is negative
cannot
exist within the blinding light of that which is positive, it is
simple
mechanics-physics. Even if they are sitting next to you. That is
all. Even
if the negativity is intentional, the positive person will still
extract a
positive effect and resolve developmental tension to harness
positive
benefit.
Action is the manifested evidence of conviction and belief,
because life
happens through you not to you.
No one can interpret a life or vibrational level at which they
themselves
have not, or are not capable of functioning, because all is
vibration.
