Steps to Prosperity #5 - The Mark of The Beast
If your mind knew the answers, it wouldn’t be asking you for them (and then beating you up for not having the answers).
Letting go is necessary to get out of your own way. Since you have accumulated years of lies and opinions (resistance), it is important to learn how to let go of these lies. Only then can you reclaim your natural state of being. No external influence is going to save you. Only you can. The sickness in the world today is "victimhood" and the solution is wisdom.
For the scope of this material, we’ll explore the wisdom of surrender, or allowing. This is what activates the law of least effort to operate and transform your life.
Letting go is a process that involves a few simple steps. The most important part of letting go is to be aware that you are not your mind.
Your mind is like a computer that was programmed by your external environment. Therefore, if you keep listening to your mind, you will remain the human automation of your pre-existing programming.
"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate."
- Carl Jung
If you want to break free and let go of this programming, it is not important to psychoanalyze every thought that goes through your mind. Getting stuck in the labyrinth of your mind is a trap. It quickly becomes quicksand.
The mind has a way of keeping you stuck by keeping you busy in a conundrum where you can never solve the problem. The mind can't solve the problems it creates.
Only awareness and surrender (letting go) can set you free. If you need to fill a space with something new, something else must be released.
In most people’s case, incessant thinking is the problem. They engage with the six degrees of separation!
You’re going to learn to let go of the method you were taught to engage with your mind and screw yourself all of these years.
Einstein said you can't solve problems with the same level of consciousness that created them. The important thing to realize now is that learning to allow has nothing to do with your mind.
In fact, human logic usually has no place in the allowing process.
"Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not on your own understanding."
-Proverbs 3:5
The greatest deception is when you desire something and then engage your mind to try and figure things out. This is what has been screwing you all along! The ABC Break process will show you how to solve the unsolvable riddle.
Again, if you reflect on how your mind tempts you to create struggle, you’ll see:
You want something. You feel that the more you want it, the closer you’ll be able to get it.
You consult your mind for answers, like these:
Who is going to give it to me?
How is it going to arrive?
When will it get here?
Why is it taking so long?
What is preventing me from having this?
Where the heck is my manifestation, I’ve wanted it so
long?!
You can’t get a solution that works from your mind. So your mind beats you up for not being "good enough" or some other reason why you are supposedly "less-than".
You begin entertaining all of the doubts and opinions that you have ever collected; setting those beliefs up as adversaries against receiving what you desire.
So naturally, this is not how you allow and it is not your natural state of being.
You gradually lose your ability to allow as soon as you engage your mind to try and figure out how things are going to work.
Since the mind doesn't have the answers, it will begin to beat you up!
Do you know why your mind doesn’t have the answers?
Because "it" is the problem and "it" is creating the problem. So then it blames you for not having the solution. This is the unsolvable riddle.
How do you solve the unsolvable riddle? Using the ABC Break process, that’s how.
In the next chapter, I am going to show you the alternate route that will put you back in the driver's seat, but first, I shall reveal the six degrees of separation!
The Mark of The Beast – Six Degrees of Separation
The mark of the beast – as in the numbers 666 – has to do with the six degrees of separation through three different kingdoms.
You live in three kingdoms simultaneously. They are:
The outer kingdom: Your external reality
The middle kingdom: Your mind
The inner kingdom: Your emotions and feeling nature
These are the Six Degrees of Separation:
1. Who
2. What
3. When
4. Where
5. Why
6. How
Now, when you engage with the six degrees of separation through all three kingdoms, you exist in the fallen state of man. Put another way, you separate yourself from your power (The Creator). Therefore, engaging with the six degrees of separation separates you from your power (God - The CREATOR)!
Most people are influenced entirely by their outer kingdom. They become what they see.
By default, you are born into a world of illusion. You see with your "lying" eyes.
What you see outside of you in the outer kingdom is then processed through your mind, the middle kingdom. Therefore, your judgments create beliefs.
When you were young, it was your external environment that programmed you, even in the womb. Since then, the data sphere all around you has influenced your perceptions to build some positive and negative ideas.
This data is then passed through to your emotional/feeling nature; the inner kingdom.
A belief is formed and operates to create the perception of reality.
What you experienced in your outer kingdom has now influenced your inner kingdom; as it passed through six degrees of separation in your middle kingdom.
"Circumstances don’t matter. Only state of being matters."
- Daryl Anka
Man lives in a state of perpetual self-deception. Events and circumstances seem to exist out of one’s control. Naturally feeling this way, people exert excessive thought to "plan life out".
However, very often our best-laid plans seem to go awry, do they not?
So, what use is it to, "Take thought for what we shall eat or drink, or the clothes on our back?" Jesus was telling us something. It is profound. Jesus said to, “Take no thought for these things.” rather, "Seek ye first the kingdom, and all these things shall be added unto you!".
Which kingdom was he referring to? The inner kingdom. Jesus said, "As within, so without."!
This is the secret of solving the unsolvable riddle. You must understand what it means to "Seek ye first the kingdom and all of these things shall be added unto you."
What is it that you really want, right now?
Think of something you desire. Let's say it is a large sum of money.
The first thing most people do is ask the mind, "How do I get it?"... Immediately, this separates the person from their power by doing this. The WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, and HOW’S are the Universe’s job! Separating ourselves with six degrees only stifles the process. It sets up resistance by engaging the same mind that wants to preserve the status quo.
Bear in mind, engaging the six degrees of separation is not the formula for success. It’s a nasty habit of self-defeating behavior.
Again, let’s look at the formula for allowing that I laid out in the previous chapter:
3. BE in the state of ALLOWING
2. Never Mind Your Lying Eyes
1. Choose and Be Specific
What do most people do to create self-sabotage?
Desire and then move into the resistance with, "I WANT!"
Engage the mind with, "HOW AM I GOING TO GET IT?"
Struggle into resistance, while addicted to the lack of having. i.e. – "I WANT."
Beat themselves up and feel "less-than" for not producing the desired outcome.
The average person is living in a state of being where they feel out of control.
As they try harder to control events, circumstances, and people – resistance builds. Trying to control actually does the reverse of the desired results. It is losing control in disguise. It is inspired by “I WANT” energy, lacks vibration and creates mental struggle. The person becomes addicted to the feeling of not having.
The only way to reclaim control is by using the wisdom of surrender, or ALLOWING.
"Surrendering is allowing control."
- Daryl Anka
Can you see how you’ve been trapped in a cycle of frustration due to unnecessary thinking?
