In
this age of
enlightenment,
it is
understood
that mastery
is not
denial and
dissociation,
rather,
it is flow
intelligence,
flowing
desires,
thoughts,
emotions and
sensations
that are
beautiful.
Many
miracles are
accomplished
through mastery,
and miracles
indeed are in order,
not only to birth Heaven
on Earth, but
also to maintain it.
In
many old paradigms,
however, mastery
connoted a sense of
restraint,
CONTROLLING both
in the sense of
holding back certain
emotional
expression,
and not allowing
certain thoughts
into consciousness.
In
this sense, the spiritual
master had power over
where he directed
attention,
i.e., away
from thoughts which
are debilitating and
away from emotions
which are weakening.
The
emotions and thoughts
to be allowed were
only those which are
uplifting.
Negative
emotions and thoughts,
however, once stopped,
were stored in the
subconscious and in
the body tissue,
creating tension
and underlying
feelings of stress
and discomfort.
On
an unconscious
level then,
these thoughts
and emotions
continued
to create and
attract negative
situations.
This type of
suppressed
emotional stress
also
suppresses the
immune system
within the body,
and is an
underlying cause
of sickness in
both mind and
body.
We help
the children of light
to realize
that to have mastery
over the beings of the
water element
therefore,
it is necessary to
first understand
healing emotions,
and in this way
actually master ALL of
the emotions within.
We inspire
awareness that
when emotions
change from
negative to
positive,
thoughts change
from negative to
positive as well.
In this age of
enlightenment, it is
finally understood
that mastery
is
not the same as denial
and dissociation.
In
many traditional,
often oriental,
cultures, emotions
were strictly
curtailed;
for example, allowing
behavioral release of
emotions such as
crying or ange
r was
immediately and
totally squelched
and seen as sure
signs of weakness and
lack of mastery.
In
these cultures where
absolute suppression
of anger was
demanded,
people had not
reached the point of
understanding that
negative emotions
could be DIRECTED in
a beneficial way that
would transmute them,
a way
that would create
healing for the person
experiencing them.
Although
the traditional
notions of mastery
still have relevance
for
the seeker of
enlightenment in the
present day,
the idea that mastery
only means stopping or
holding back
expressions of
emotional energy
is
too limiting and
dangerous,
considering the true
nature of emotions.
The
essential nature of
emotions is to flow,
like water.
Using
a martial arts
analogy, emotional
mastery is more like
aikido,
which requires flowing
with the available
energy of the
opponent,
or
flowing with negative
emotional energy, to
advantage.
To continue
the analogy, optimal
application of
emotional mastery is not
like some forms of
karate,
which require
aggressively
attacking, forcing
the issue,
to overcome the
opponent,
or maliciously
unleashing negative
emotional energy.
It is
important to
understand that to
flow freely does not
mean continuing to
flow unlimitedly,
into destructive
acting out.
It does
mean DIRECTING
the flow in a
beneficial way.
This type of mastery
requires divine
empathy applied to
wounded parts of the
self,
empathy to the wounded
parts of the child
self within,
applying
unconditional love to
flowing wounded or
painful emotions.
Remember that negative
feelings come from
emotional wounding.
The part of the self
that has been wounded
needs to heal.
Empathy for the
part of the self
which feels negative
feelings
allows
love to do its
most perfect work
of transmutation.
Remember that
emotions
are the water element.
Both the earth
herself and the human
body are over 70
percent water.
Water must flow
to remain pure and
life giving.
Just as stagnant water
becomes poisonous,
blocked and denied
emotions become ever
more negative and
quietly poison the
subconscious mind.
When painful emotions
are allowed to flow
safely with
unconditional love and
empathy,
these feelings
heal,
and the negative
thoughts and
memories connected
to them also
transform into
positive ones once
again.
By flowing with
wounded emotions in a
safe and
non-destructive way,
old memories reveal
hidden wisdom and
blessings,
and these are the
blessings that the
higher self wanted to
embody in this life's
lessons.
After a
person has
faced their
darkest fears
and allowed
them to heal,
they will
never cause
harm to any
sentient
creature,
for they have
learned the
importance of
harmlessness
on an
extremely deep
personal
level.
In the
paradigm which
reflects Divine
Original and Perfect
Will of Love
manifesting in
practical ways,
the controlling of
thought and emotion
begins with this
type of mastery, and
builds upon it.
Control is used
selectively, to allow
negative emotions to
flow ENERGETICALLY and
INWARDLY,
in ways that
encourages healing
insights and emotional
changes.
These insights
are the changes in the
thoughts and feelings
about the situation
that caused the anger.
Forgiveness and
understanding come
from this type of
inner reflection.
What was not
understood at the time
of an emotional trauma
can be understood
later,
in moments of
reflection.
For example, a small
child who is brutally
beaten by a parent
does not have the
detachment and
understanding
at the time it
happens, that
maturity, in later
years,
opens
as to why the higher
self attracted and
allowed the situation
to occur in the first
place.
In later reflection,
insights arise as to
what was really going
on with the offending
parent and the
surrounding
circumstances.
Forgiveness and
appreciation for the
lessons learned from
this experience
brings an opening of
the heart and faith in
life once again.
By understanding how
feelings work,
emotions flow and
evolve safely without
being allowed to be
acted out in
destructive ways.
It is
quite understandable
in ancient traditions,
because of the close
historical connection
between the flaring up
of the emotion of
anger
and
violently acting out
to maliciously harm
the perceived enemy,
that
mastery as restraint
became the law.
When
not masterfully
directed and safely
contained,
indeed, strong
emotions can tend to
escalate and trigger
others.
The
hothead who lost
control of his
emotions did threaten
the safety and
integrity of
everyones way of
life.
Allowing
anger, for example, to
flow was definitely
foolish and dangerous
when
no distinction was
made between dangerous
release,
versus
therapeutically acting
out, of emotion.
Mastery
in the larger
sense involves
selectively blocking
the expression of some
emotions;
for example,
remaining totally
in emotional control
is necessary
within an inappropriate situational context
such as a public
place.
In
contrast, freely
allowing unimpeded
spontaneous expression
of unpleasant emotions
is healing in a
therapeutic or private
situation, in which no
damage to others or
self is done.
Limiting
expressions of
strong negative
emotions like anger to
a previously
defined,
safe 'container' makes
all the difference
between a healing
outcome
or
chaotic or dangerous
results.
Even
more at the crux of
the issue of selective
mastery
would
be the example of expressing
anger by pounding a
pillow
but stopping
short of hurting self
or destroying
property.
This latter instance
could be considered
controlled loss of
control,
a prime example of
the right use
of mastery of
emotional releasechoosing
to allow the
nondestructive flow of
emotion,
while totally
suppressing
destructive acting
out, once the flow of
emotion is underway.
When
emotions flow to
completion, they
change, become
purified, and
ultimately
transcendent
if
no damage on any
level of being,
including physical
or property damage,
is permitted.
In
some traditional
cultures the notion of
loving all emotions,
and selectively
directing their flow
would have appeared to
be a confusing
impossibility.
Early
childhood, negative
feelings were indeed
overwhelming, scary
and not to be played
with.
The
new paradigm of emotional
expression teaches a
new attitude and
methodology
which
awaken enlightenment
through safely flowing
with emotions.
Emotions
are the change
process.
Control over the
change process, of
emotions, within
the self,
confers control
over the change
process, of
feelings, in the
outer world.
In the
presence of empathy,
this flowing change
process restores
divine clarity and
purity
to
the emotional self
within and in the
outer world.
As
the emotional
nature heals, so
does the mind.
Dark
and fearful
thoughts heal
along
with the dark
and fearful
emotions that go
with them.
"Love conquers all."
When
painful feelings of
childhood are embraced
with unconditional
love
and allowed to
flow safely into
healing and
resolution,
mastery of the
emotional nature is
attained.
Since
thoughts and emotions
are interconnected,
controlling one
affects the other.
As
early childhood
feelings are
purified and healed,
the mind also goes
through
transformation and
healing.
Once
original
negative
feelings and
thoughts are
healed,
the original
childlike connection
with grace,
mercy,
enlightenment,
and the splendor
and majesty of
Divine Being,
returns in full
force.
That
is why it was said,
Ye
must be as little
children, to enter
the kingdom of God.
Many
people avoid
painful feelings.
They do
everything, all of
their lives,
to avoid feeling the
darkest recesses of
their souls.
A common
fearful fantasy of
doing this is
I will never be
the same again after
going into my
deepest and most
fearful emotions;
I will
never return {to the
way I was before}.
We are
here to tell you that
only by
walking bravely into
the valley of the
shadow of death,
and facing and
feeling these dreadful
and fearful emotions
with unconditional
faith and love,
that
healing and
enlightenment can
come.
There
is nothing to fear but
fear itself.
This
is partly what is
meant by emotional
maturity.
After
a person has
faced their
darkest fears
and allowed them
to heal,
they will never
cause harm to
any sentient
creature,
for they have
learned the
importance of
harmlessness on
an extremely
deep personal
level.
When true harmlessness is attained,
the beings
of the air and of
the waters respond
to the intuitive
will, thought,
and enlightened
emotions
that flow through
a child of Divine
Being.
As the
dark polarity of
feelings are mastered,
then the
other emotional
polarity is attained
and mastery over the
elements
of
air and water are
possible through the
use of Will.
Meditate
on the absorption of
the will, thoughts and
the feelings
in
the divine virtues of
the letters of our
name, Magelucha.
The
beauty of healing
emotions is that the
process allows the
psyche
to spontaneously
remember the
original thoughts of
Heaven in all of their
purity.
This
is part of the second
birth.
Ye
must be born again.
The combination
of healing the mind
through
emotional
transformation
and meditation on the
qualities of
Divine
Consciousness awakens
mental maturity.
By meditating
on the magnetic
power of feelings
and
how
flowing feelings are
the change process-
the letter
M,
wisdom
and enlightenment and
mystical faculties-
the letter
A,
transformation-
letter
umlaut A, ae,
grace
and mercy-
the letter
G,
the
omnipresence of Divine
Life-
the letter
E,
the
splendor and majesty
of Divine Being-
letter
L,
the
act of creation and
its karma- the
letter
U,
in
clarity and perfect
purity of flowing
divine feelings-
letter
Ch,
complete
control over air and
water spirits is
attained-
letter
A.
All
imperfections are
gladly released for
change into other
states
- letter
umlaut A, ae.
As
people become more
mature they become
more childlike.
Those who
are most powerful on
Earth are the most
harmless
because
they are spiritually
mature.
