=Lesson 3: Gaining control= (By Sam)(ael) (Return to Lessons) (Return to Teachings)

You must gain control because now all of the sudden you are painfully aware of how little control you have. Your eyes are opened wide to who you really are now that your preconceptions have been banished and it’s a mess! Lets look at why. Your mind thinks without your permission. Since thought is a tool you have just discovered that all of those thoughts that pop into your head all day long are like a tractor being run by wild monkeys stung by scorpions. If you are not in the seat for one second, the tractor goes crazy destroying everything you created. Your ability to be aware has become weak. People have forgotten to use their awareness and because of that it has become weak and sickly. In fact, most people avoid their awareness trying to get away from pains and so they miss out on pleasure as well. Let us face it. Your awareness is your real body and it’s been in bed for years. Worse: you have been taking numbing drugs so long you can’t feel like your body was originally supposed to. Experiencing pain and pleasure exercises and toughens your awareness and will. You need to be an aware person to be complete. Ideas are killing you! You have all of these misconceptions that suddenly aren’t true (Wake up call! They were always wrong!). What are we talking about? Well where do we start the list? The person you thought you were never existed. This is why you are sometimes unhappy without any apparent reason because you are lying to yourself and you have been for so long that you are dying. You have been feeding yourself lies, unable to find the truth. Think about it! You have been looking for meaning. Your truest goal is to prove who you are, and up until now you had no clue. You were under the impression that you were what you were in. Maybe it was your body, maybe it was your Job, maybe it was your achievements, but numbed to your awareness your choices which are what make you, you have been something like a blind man’s paintings, and no one really likes interpretative paint when it’s their life they are looking at.

What do you do?!? Breath. Relax. You have already done a large part just by reading and realizing it is true. Now you understand. Understanding the truth is valuable to you. Your problems started because you Didn’t understand. Take a break and let the truth sink in for a day or so. When you are ready, read the rest.
