The Master Within and the 'Face of Inticity'

ch_pbg_02x

Hand-in-hand with the idea that we are the creators of our experiences is being a master thereof. However, it’s neither an automatic, nor immediate perception. Since many people are reluctant to acknowledge that they create their experiences, meaning that an amount of responsibility might be assessed with the acceptance, they are even more unlikely believe that mastery is possible, at least initially. Nonetheless,  after reflection, observation, and experiential confirmation of our creator position, mastery becomes the next relevant destination in our journey to self-awareness and realization.

Irrespective of our level of awareness, consciously or unconsciously, we are creators of our respective realities. Knowing is not necessary. The drama of Life will go on nonetheless. The many people seeking new partners who say they don’t want any “drama” in their life, fail to acknowledge The Dramatist within… that any “drama” they’ve experienced with another, was likewise their own. It’s all in how we see, and therefore experience, our reality.

The word “reality” refers to that which constitutes the totality of our perceptions, whether thought to be real or imagined. We both create and experience them. Two people may be in the same location, but there will be two realities present. In that respect, there are over 6 billion realities presently on earth. In fact, there are many times more than that, because a reality will have at least one, but will include all who experience the moment with the core individual.

Therefore, driving at any point along a freeway is an aggregation of realities created and experienced by each driver (and passengers) in each vehicle, and defined by their individual and collective attitudes, beliefs, hopes, dreams, fears, and intentions. Each one of those factors, depending on how they are “set,” can change our reality.

You may wonder how do you get from creating your experience to becoming a master thereof. It’s simple. Mastery of our experiences begin with mastery of self. Indeed, we will create experiences that give us an opportunity to nurture, demonstrate, and exercise self-mastery.

Self-mastery is not an unconscious process. Realizing our inherent, integral role in the formation of our experiences is an awakening of consciousness, and the first step in the self-mastery journey. The shift in consciousness is experienced as a transformed outlook, where situations that were previously seen as “problems” now register as opportunities to exercise and eventually demonstrate, mastery.

Here’s a self-mastery example: As though they wore watches and punched a time clock, your neighbors dogs start barking at full volume each evening just as you’re trying to slip off into a good night’s sleep. It’s not something you can easily ignore. What are your options? You can swear and curse. You can get irritated. You can go confront the owner (if they’re home). You can seethe. Or, you can calm yourself. You can relax. You can shift the focus of your attention away from the inconsiderate dogs, toward something that is joyful to you. You can remind yourself that the barking will subside, and prepare yourself for the good night’s sleep that you’re about to enjoy.

In the examples it is fairly evident where the focus of each response is directed. Try to control the dogs, and feel frustration. Shift one’s self focus, and experience an actual change in perception.

You may wonder why give such energy to mastery, a subject that some may feel represents only a marginal measure of possibility. Perhaps it is because the evidence seems so convincingly against one ever attaining mastery that its viability as a realistic and desirable experiential option should be called out and noted.

The desirability of, and quest for mastery is important for the expanded consciousness that it rewards us with along with an enhanced quality of life and well-being. It encompasses every aspect of life that we hold dear, including health and healing, and a safe, abundant and harmonious standard of living. The realization of mastery doesn’t mean that problems will end. On the contrary, it means that their positive or beneficial potential will revealed and maximized, while harmful or negative impact will be dispatched, minimized or limited. The master seeks not to dominate or control others, but to maintain the harmony within self under any and all circumstances. Judgment, condemnation, and fear gradually evaporates, and what remains is a connection, a link to everything and everyone.

Although it is not apparent, we are always connected to everything and everyone. I am connected to you and you are connected to me. We only appear to be separate. If you are taking in these thoughts, you are ready to master your moments.

Disease, adversity, and infirmity become gifts that we give ourselves to “practice” on and learn from. A person or family battling cancer or some other degenerative disease might disagree about the “gift” the condition represents, but if the idea holds even a hint of plausibility, enough to make one ease up on the accelerator that leads headlong into the allopathic abyss, then we have cause for celebration.

Before there were allopathic treatments, the human body corrected itself. Before “diseases” started being treated as complex pathological states instead of the simple descriptions of one’s degree of imbalance, the human body corrected itself. Corrections were made using material of Mother Earth. Why? Because the human body is made of the same material. The true art of medicine is in knowing how to use the living body of Earth to heal a human body, an art not practiced in the areas that need it most.

We dismiss natural approaches as “low tech” and “unscientific,” states that are only half true. Using natural approaches to healing may indeed be “low tech,” but they are steeped in solid science. The journey to self mastery takes one from the synthetic to natural, and from the outside, in, from the finger pointed outward, to a look into one’s own eyes, to discover where the solution to all meaningful “problems” can be found.

While doctors should not be “practicing” medicine on us if we have a chronic condition, their position will be safe as long as there are people who believe they are powerless to transform their life challenges. One thing a master is not, is powerless.

When you accept that your experiences — including the problems in your life — are your creation, and that you have the power to overcome your fear, anger, or resentment about them, you will have stepped forward toward mastery. Instead of fighting the problem, if you start adjusting yourself, the changes that result will benefit you.

Mastery begins in the heart… not the muscle that pumps blood through your system, but the center of energy that exists for each of us in the same general area. The first step is opening the heart, speaking from it, letting it be your point of motivation, your reason for being present, and doing whatever you’re doing. When your heart is open, your speech will reflect and emanate it. The energy of your Highest Aspect will come through.

The next step in mastery is keeping the heart open irrespective of what is happening in the moment… no matter how “bad” you feel, or what you think anyone has done to you. When the heart remains open, you are always being sustained and replenished by it. You are continually being balanced and centered. Dark moments won’t be so dark, and high moments will be sublime. Please note here that all of these steps are subtle and internal. No one will notice them — at first — but you.

Being a master of your experience doesn’t mean that you won’t feel… in fact, you’ll feel more. It doesn’t mean that you won’t feel bad emotionally, or physical pain. It means that you’ll realize it is your creation, you’ll bless the discomfort, as well as the one that appears to have brought it, and then imagine yourself free of it, complete with the feeling that only freedom brings. This is the practice that will pay you dividends, not only energetically and spiritually, but in your physical health and ability to heal.

Laughter, and the ability to laugh, is a great healer. Not only does doing so deliver more oxygen to the cells, laughing opens the heart, allowing our Infinite Energy to come through.

Disease is all about toxicity and inticity. Hey, that’s a new word, inticity. Never heard it before, but it feels applicable here. Inticity would represent discordancy which brews or festers inside. It’s immeasurable and generally undetectable, but very real. It energetically manifests as the measurable discordancy we call toxicity.

If we didn’t have some degree of active inticity, then toxicity would have little impact on our health. Inticity is the enabling or activating factor of toxicity. It varies from one person to the next, which is why susceptibility to environmental toxins and pathogens, including toxic thoughts, will also vary from one person to the next.

Inticity is the “chip” that we carry on our shoulder, the “issue” that we’re obsessed about. It’s the anger we feel and project toward another individual or group over perceived injustices. It’s the “cross” that we think we must bear, the “weight” we carry that we think is ours alone. We’re not happy about it either, so we blame others, or simply feel bad. It’s an unproductive habit thought to be ingrained, that goes unquestioned and unchallenged. Inticity is the sense that we are isolated and alone, powerless, and that the world is against us. It’s a dark hole of our own creation that we place ourselves in and then maintain. Self mastery is “the cure” for inticity.

Perhaps there has been a word for inticity from the beginning of time. That would be ego. Whatever you want to call it, discovering and exercising the master within will pay immediate dividends that only you will feel initially, eventually being reflected in the world around you, its center.
