Secrets of Soul Success

What a man lives within animates and determines his direction and decides his fate. All true teachings are framed in the language and understanding of the day. Christ was the fulfillment of what had been the principles that went before him.

We have found a way to live with what is acceptable to us. We live at the threshold of pain and if one thing happens out pours all of this sadness and cruelty from the sleeping consciousness. People live their whole lives eroded and worn away by their unhappiness and pain. It eats away at their very soul. It consumes it and they never realize what happened to them.

The veteran and apprentice angel were out on their daily tour and the apprentice angle noticed all of the broken and sad human beings. Why are they so lost, he asked? They have DEKS - Dead End Kingdom Syndrome. It is the kingdom man builds for himself by himself.

Scripture is about what is taking place right now in an individual's life. It is a reflection of a universal soul. "Unless the Lord builds it a man labors in vain". At the end of our hopes, plans and dreams, hopefully a man reaches the place where he can go no farther. All material is made in time. A man sits at the center of himself with only himself and what he hopes to achieve or what he thinks has been stolen from him. That is why human beings are sad and dying.

Trying to be # 1 is a dead-end kingdom. We are meant to see this not as a punishment but to lift us once we realize our mistake. A cake is bitter if it is baked with bitter ingredients. If one's life is broken, fearful and angry they have made it that way. Darkness is against a man's rebirth. There is something working 24 hours a day to see that a person keeps building dead-end kingdoms.

In Matthew -- Lucifer tempts Christ on the mountain. "All these things I will give you if you will bow down and worship me." The real temptation was the sensation with self. The identification with thought to become something, to be more than we are. We add images of power to ourselves. Gold did not give rise to greed. War is not the cause of conflict; differences between people did not create intolerance. Rage created war. Greed created gold, intolerance created the difference between people.

Negative states are beings, essential forces that sit at the center of the dark part of creation. The soul has places where it is in contact with darker energies. Human beings are a continual derivative of identification with one of these forces as it makes its way into our consciousness. We have to go into the kingdom to understand its nature.

A person is drawn into this DEK because of the love of sensation of being. "I will be this!" It is a borrowed energy. It belongs to the earth, to these creatures. Thought about getting even is a DEK -- It is what we want our will over which gives a person force but steals their life. We mistake the sensation of continuity for eternal life. Sensation is born out of images that pass through the mind as forces and come into us and we give access to them in our mind. As soon as a body registers the force the mind grabs onto the content, stirring of association and builds a DEK to make it more. We are not building it, but the being in charge of us in the moment is building it for its purpose. Sad, angry feelings come into us and create a division between what is and what we want. It is a derivative of our own projections. We are deceived into believing we have a life of our own.

The supporting image is derived from sensation. We need to become inward human beings as we realize we can't build a Kingdom for ourselves outside of ourselves. We think we will be victors over this interior war but instead of trying to figure out what can we give ourselves -- hatred and more pain -- we can answer it not with what we can give ourselves but with "What can we live without". We have a derivative will born from a derivative evil. Recognize the onset of these forces, just see them and realize we can do without what we think we need.

To live without means to withdraw ourselves from that order of being that has come into us, a dark and destructive creature. Put these dark forces behind you and don't serve these energies.

I can live without:
Fixing others
Trying to control the moment
Fighting over anything for any reason
Daydreams
Gossiping

Seeing this relationship is the ending of it. Stop the development of the imagined life. Drop the identification with these images and then you will be given eyes to see these dark forces and given the true relationship you were meant to have.
