Discipline, Mastery and Twin Flame Union

“He who controls others may be powerful, but he who   has mastered himself is mightier still.”     

                                                              

       “Don’t think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania. Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light"

 - Lao-tzu 

The above concepts from Lao-tzu are two of the most powerful statements that relate to twin flame union and more so, union with your individualized I AM presence, or higher self.

Reaching the higher self allows you to also reach into the same space of your flame; into the I AM presence of the soul that connects you both.  It is more than just a sheer desire to be there.  Both discipline and self mastery are needed to truly obtain the goal.

Self discipline and self mastery go hand in hand.  When Jesus said "Know thyself", he meant that you need to know how and why you do the things you do.  If you don't know, you can't become conscious of the patterns you engage in day to day. In becoming conscious of these patterns, you begin to "self realize" or know yourself in a different way.  You aren't what you do, because that can all be changed.  And, it is in the changing, the mastery of oneself and how oneself perceives and experiences the world, that true mastery is achieved.  It requires discipline to do this.  Constant introspection.  Asking the questions "why" to yourself, or "how" do I feel?  Recognizing the feelings and thoughts associated with your "actions" in the world.

A constant discipline for reaching ever higher to the I AM is also a key factor in obtaining union with the I AM.  Your reach for God, the almighty, or your higher power, enables you to consciously direct your energy in an upward spiral.  Reaching higher vibrational fields and effectively changing the energy around even your physical body.

Meditation to still the mind, positive affirmations and a true appreciation, love and delight in all creations born from the great spirit allow you to automatically connect with this potent energy of light and love.  The more you connect with that which resides within you as appreciation of other creations, the more that energy is brought back into you.  This strengthens the source energy in and around you.

It sounds so simple, because it is.  Starting a ritual, setting aside time, however, is sometimes the hardest part.  You can start by even making your drive to work a new ritual.  Appreciating the beauty of the trees as you pass them, marveling at the colors in the sky, or becoming engaged in the setting sun or vivid colors the ocean, lakes or streams that seem to gleam under the light of day.

Five minutes before bedtime meditating or contemplating on the day helps.  A simple prayer of gratitude or a thank you to those mystical beings that you know are guiding your lifestream this time around.  All of these things count and they all will help you pave the way for more unification with your I AM and contact with your twin flame soul mate.

Obtaining mastery, achieving individualized union with our I AM, is work.  Yet the work is ours and ours alone.  It is the work that has been done by many masters before us and will be done by many masters even after us.

Use your time wisely this time around and begin to implement some or all of these techniques into your daily routine.  True spiritual freedom means being free from the constrictions of the mind and society.  Man created society and has a great deal to do with our current thoughts.  Decide to step it up a notch and focus instead on the divine.  That is where your true power resides and where your true freedom will always be, along with the other part of yourself; your twin flame soul mate.
