Metaphysically, discipline is related to the Self. It is not
something that happens to you, but something
that you choose to practice.
Self-discipline is a form of Mastery, without it we are not able to arrive at
Enlightenment. The term of discipline has been perverted by the childish state
of human kind, turning it into an external master over us telling us how to be,
and us either following it, or rebelling against it. That is a view of a child,
who's parent is "making him do his homework". That perverted view had
been projected onto the Soul as well - as if the Soul is some external force,
making us grow by creating pain and suffering. In truth, Soul does create the
lessons, but it is us who determine how we deal with these lessons - if we
rebel against the learning we are the ones who then create our suffering!
I often hear from my clients that even though they had implemented
my advice, somehow the change was there for only the short time, then reverted
back to what it used to be. My question then is usually "Did you CONTINUE
to implement my advice? For how long?" This is exactly what discipline
really means - it is a form of self-mastery - i.e. we become the masters of
ourselves by changing the perception of our reality, and through that, changing
the reality itself!
We are all creatures of habit. But it is us who influences WHICH habits
we choose to allow to exist, and which we must change. If life is not working
out well, if there is pain, disharmony, inner or outer war, disease, suffering,
depression etc. - we must look at the habits we choose to engage in and modify
them. Using your #SoulWorkTools to find the proper perspective, a more
harmonious way to be, and then implementing it CONTINUOUSLY - that is
self-discipline. This is how we truly change who we are and the world around us
- by first mastering ourselves!
When the new pattern/habit it implemented, it will battle with the
old one and we must persevere in application of the new one, again and again,
until the old habit simply atrophies due to the absence of the life force. It
is our choice which habit we choose to feed with life force and which one we
choose to starve. We control this - that is self-discipline. Not because
someone from the outside told us to do it, but because we want to have more
harmony and choose to be responsible for our behavior - internal and external.
That will help not only each person individually, but human kind in general,
and the planet as well.
Arriving at the Self-Mastery through the high level of discipline
(self-responsibility) will be a full-circle moment as humanity, under the
guidance of Spirit, moves into the cycle of time that will mark its tenure as
guardians of the Garden of Earth. Hundreds of years in the future, history will
tell the story of how the unconscious humans almost destroyed the planet
(irresponsibility), but twice came back from the brink of disaster, and sanity
prevailed. Then from this juncture point
the new harmony is distributed world-wide, making the seeds of compassion and
oneness more readily available for all. This is the "balanced
responsibility" (self-discipline).
