Self Control
So I was asked the question: Are there other ways to realize that we are spiritual beings, besides astral projecting? The answer is yes, there are several. However, they all have one thing in common, and this is something that you must want to do. It requires effort, and a willingness to learn and be open minded. You will succeed if you persevere.
The issue I am talking about is self control. For anyone that thinks they have enough self control, they are mistaken. Self control is an ever evolving ability humans have. No matter how much self control we have, we can always always improve on it, because to master it fully, would mean you are perfect. If there is a way to master it fully, then that is yet to be experienced in the current world. Self control comes in many forms, on the basic level, it is management of emotions. Often we let things overwhelm us, we get stressed out about things because we don’t use self control. Many people will go to the gym to relieve stress, and while they are there, they forget about their stress temporarily. The same goes on more drastic scales such as drinking, or doing drugs, they give people escapes from reality until it comes back and hits them like a tidal wave. These methods, are not examples of self control. Another example, is when people get angry easily, or get road rage, or are easily bad tempered. They lack the ability to keep their emotions in check, which means they lack self control. The same goes with addictions, they lack the self control to break the addiction. The same also goes with those that are very clingy when falling in love. Anyone who becomes overwhelmed by their emotions has very little self control. Sometimes it is almost impossible to have self control, when something really drastic such as losing a loved one occurs, however, recognition of it is essential.
Self control goes beyond just emotions. It also goes hand in hand with awareness. The first thing you must understand is that you are a spiritual being, piloting a physical body. This means, that your body is nothing but a vehicle that is at your command. The average person is not aware that they can control many aspects of their body that they normally don’t think about. For example, breathing. When you learn breathing techniques, you find that you are able to make your body breathe on its own, without being consciously aware of it. Its like putting a car on cruise control, you have the ability to breath consciously, or automatically. Every time you fall asleep, you breath automatically. Try doing it while you are awake! It’s possible. You can even turn your body off, so it is paralized, but your mind is fully functioning. This is why awarness goes hand in hand with self control.
To gain more self control, you need to learn how to sense your emotions and feelings as they arrive, without letting them overwhelm you. When you get angry, notice yourself getting angry, and learn to control it. When you get hungry, tired, sad, happy, excited, horny, and feeling of love, notice it. Try to enhance the feelings with your mind, and try to decrease them, be aware of them. Everytime you get goosebumps, or inspirational chills down your spine, butterflies in your tummy, nervous lump in your throat,or the feeling of an adrenaline rush, you are experiencing your chakras. Be aware of these feelings, and you will find they they all have a different central location of where they originate from. Then you will eventually be able to feel the energy flowing to and from them, throughout your body. Becoming in touch with your bodies feelings, is essential to understanding spirituality. And there is a major mainstream activity, that promotes exactly what I am talking about. Yoga. Yoga is everywhere, and yoga is the key to anything spiritual. There are many different types of yoga, many different areas to learn. The whole purpose of the stretching and pose excercises, is to be able to feel the energy moving through your body easier, to become more aware of it, and to gain self control. Once you have mastered this, meditation yoga and astral projection soon follow. I will be writing another blog post in the future, about different energies of the body, from sexual energy, to ojas( life force energy), and kundalini Yoga.
Someone messaged me saying they don’t believe in astral projection, well I have a question for you. How can you not believe in something that you can experience first hand?
