Today the 19th day of the month of July, my birthday, I discovered that true power comes in knowing what you want, working at it and getting it done. Only when you have done this can you say that you possess true power. In addition, the true nature of man in whose self is "a god " as well as "fear" has rendered the meaning of "true power" useless. If I were to evaluate my accomplishments for the year, I would say that I haven't done really well. This does not show whether or not I am satisfied. How can I be? Isn't it obvious? Our failure to exclude fear (which begets doubt) from our being, our very own existence, has succeeded in reducing us to mere mortals. Probably some of us are predestined to fail or maybe not so.
Beyond religion, humans are naturally lazy, selfish and crave more evil than good. It, however, is subject to many forms of thought. Many have trained themselves to become powerful whereas there are some people seeking power while some people just don't care. From a standpoint, power defines achievement and vice versa. Another school of thought has it that power intoxicates and where this two meet is, however, worth examining. (IMG:

Definitely, someone has got to blow out the candles. It's not just anybody but the celebrant whose duty it is to ensure that the celebration does not go without a wish accomplished. You see, we sometimes may experience a few opportunities a couple of times but most times we run out of more opportunities. Not like I would profer a solution here but rather advise on a measure I reason is fit for creating and/or recreating oportunities. The only way to create or recreate an opportunity is to "imprison" it as this is capable of causing a multiplier effect. A good example to illustrate this concept would be how we make "friends" by making just one new "friend". You're adept, they know it, don't expect them to come begging for your skills because when you do this you're imprisoning yourself but rather humble yourself and be wise. Getting to know what other doors lie within a single opportunity is the key to climbing higher. One particular door when opened may contain a ladder, the other a strait path and the last, probably a dead-end. How you utilize an opportunity determines or influences the number of opportunities to come. Why then can't we conclude that this life is indeed a "Magic of Self"? (IMG:

We are "caused" for a course. The power to create and destroy rests with us but we would rather destroy ourselves. However, the choice to live is ours but then it may seem all confusing when we recall events of war where lives are destroyed against their will. Well, just as it is easy to sell your soul to the devil, being led by a body and when I say body, I mean leaders, governments and so on, we let our "fate" be determined and/or ruled by others (whose destiny lie in their own destruction) which again is the influence of our "power to create and/or destroy". Realizing the "Magic of Self" then is the key to opening the gateway to a world where we are rulers and where no other exists to influence our very own. It is the awareness of the innate self beyond the physical wherewith our true powers (can only) manifest.
Knowledge is an "ocean" and meditation is a "boat". When we meditate we become aware of our world, strengthen our will and are able heal our wounds but this still isn't true power. True power is borne of our desire to be of service to the uninformed mind and to the untrained eye. This defines the "purpose of our power" which may not be the same as our purpose. It is possible that our purpose may be achieved in the course of teaching and healing others but this rarely is the case. Maybe we don't even have a purpose. How can we then find purpose when there is no end to knowledge? The answer is hidden deeply somewhere in our minds within the ocean of our physical, mental and astral knowledge. Knowing this, that there exist a division of knowledge, we can infer that there exist a division of "self" -- I cannot give the answer as it is far beyond physical understanding but can be attained, and meditation is a couple of steps behind it. Allow me to leave you with these clues. Look at the bible, in one place Jesus said "...don't ye know that ye are gods, yet you die like mere mortals..." and in another place he posits "...kill the flesh..". However, he didn't die a "mere mortal" but his soul became one with his flesh. We all possess the power to rise to divinity but are only limited by flesh. Before the soul can become one with the flesh, we first need to discover the different forms and/or elements in which the soul (can) exist, which we don't have to die first before we can realize that form of existence. In addition, recall from the creation, somewhere in Genesis that God said "...Let us create man in our own image and likeness..." but man erred. Also, somewhere in Genesis he said "I have given you life" -- power to create all forms of existence and to even attain oneness with God (immortality) -- "and death" -- power to destroy oneself and to perish in ignorance ("...from dust you were made and to dust you shall return...") -- and this is the greatest cipher or rather trickery: "...choose life so that you may live...", of what essence is this last advice? Finally lets not forget that he also said this "Man as become as one of us to know Good and Evil, lest he put forth his hands and eat of the tree of life and live forever...". This was where the line was drawn between mortality and logevity. Where the soul became separate from the body, but even at that some men still lived hundreds of years before their death. Evil became prevalent and God decided that it didn't bring any balance then he further split the soul -- oneness in language was misplaced. As proof, you may have heard of the possibility of being in three separate placesat a time. Yes! We can become like God but the ultimate goal lies in the purpose of the various soul forms merging with the body to become just one. I am glad for the few who have realized this and are working at attaining this pure form of "energy".
If you've read this far, I am glad you did and that you realize already the true "Magic of Self" wherein lies "the birth of a god". Keep meditating until you can once more eat of the "tree of life" so as to become one with God and live forever. Don't ever forget that you're higher than the angels and that they always will fall at your command. Your true religion is that of "self" where there is truth and that which you practice outside self is but as a guide and/or a path you must follow upon which you are required to meditate day and night so that you can start discovering your true nature. Following this path may sound dangerous but yes, there is a war to be fought!
Before I end this part of the "Magic of Self", there is something I think you should know. Do not become deluded by the fact that you are higher than the angels and use that as a basis to make them always do your bidding. It delights them to know that you are uninformed and helpless as it entails spiritual matters. They humbly obey us and many times take over us (IMG:

For you to understand your true nature and discover the existence of God, you must understand that we are all connected regardless of our attributes be it Good or Evil -- choose life today! Finally, all the help and answers you need lie within and as you meditate you will discover the true language of God.
To be continued... Well it never really does have an end, does it? (IMG:
