TRANSCENDENCE
of the Self Defined |
|
The dictionaries define
transcendence as the following:
- To rise above or go beyond the limits of possible
human experience
- To possess self mastery
- To extend above or beyond material existence
- To be independent of the limitations of the material
universe
- Being beyond comprehension
- A person that escapes classification among the
Aristotelian predicaments
- Something beyond the limits of experience and
knowledge---spirit!
|
|
Experienced
Descriptions |
|
- In truth, it is difficult to describe, but the
classification is "God Consciousness."
- It is to live without fear, fear of tomorrow, fear of
death, fear of not having love, fear of all the things that we can imagine
in our minds and they are many!
- It is to live in God’s love, knowing that you
are loved and that this will never change — regardless of
what you have been taught!
- It is to sleep in peace, no worry for tomorrow, for
yesterday, complete peace with yourself and God.
- It is knowing that there is one thing in your life
that is a constant and that is the presence and actuality of Spirit and all its attendant
beauty!
- It is feeling the presence of your own personal
"Fragment of God" that belongs to you and you alone, and never leaves you!
- It is a feeling so profound that it cannot be put
into words!

Practical
Qualities and Changes in Your Life |
|
- Practically speaking, you function more intelligently
and successfully in all aspects of life, family, personal, business and all other.
- You are able to perceive deeper insight into all
aspects of any situations and begin to have foresight --- not clairvoyance; life works for you
--- things happen that just could not possibly happen for you.
- You are joyous and yet you control your emotions, you
emanate powerful positive feelings that constantly uplift those around you.
- It is very difficult to describe, but it happens
slowly and then at the point of mastering your emotions, Self Mastery, balance occurs and as
you stay in this objective balanced condition, transcendence occurs and you are forever
changed and you know it!
- It is to feel enveloped in a love beyond description,
which frees you to love your human contacts without fear regardless of race, religion or
creed!
|
|
| There is a
vast difference in understanding that you have a "fragment of
God" that chose you to indwell and loves you and is with you 24 hours a day
and trying to grasp that the Great God of all knows and cares for you! We cannot grasp
this incredible Father of ours but we can reach out and experience the presence of our
personal fragment of Him and the unbelievable difference this makes in our lives. |

Three
Phases to Transcendence |
|
| There are three distinct phases one
goes through in the journey of life to get to the point of transcendence and you can do
this if you desire a life without fear, (insecurities), and
to be loved and cherished: |
|
| 1. Self Mastery: |
| a. |
|
Self
Mastery is the conquering-controlling of your emotions instead of emotions controlling you. |
| b. |
|
Self
Mastery is the mastery of the negative selves ---- you learn to recognize and modify the
negative within you and remove these from your mind, replacing them with positive thoughts
consistently --- this changes the negative forever. |
| c. |
|
Self
Mastery is the ability to be tactful in any situation --- and not react! |
|
|
| 2. Balance: |
| a. |
|
Balance is
your ability to function for the "greater good for all concerned in all areas of your
life". |
| b. |
|
Balance is
your constant effort to put
God 1st,
Family 2nd,
Business 3rd. |
| c. |
|
Balance is
the ability to seem "normal" in this world, but to live both in this World and in
the spirit world gracefully and seamlessly, integrating both in family, business and play ---
and do it with class and style! |
|
|
| 3. Transcendence of the Self: |
| a. |
|
Transcendence
of the Self is to have consistently practiced Self Mastery and continued to Stay Balanced
until this becomes your new habit patterns. |
| b. |
|
Transcendence
of the Self is to have become objective, to now practice the habit of taking time to try to do
"the greater good" in all things. |
| c. |
|
Transcendence
of the Self is to have experienced a profound modification of Self --- your commitment and
study are voluntary --- your goal of Paradise is becoming very real and you are functioning
without the debilitating fear of before! |
