The start to walk into the unknown believe it or not is to walk into the possibility of us being mistaken. That is holding mistaken beliefs, concepts and points of view.
If we take any situation no matter how small, and we decide to look into possibility of us being mistaken, that is us walking into the unknown.
We are 'righ't about everything, this we know but we don't know that we are wrong.

An ideal enforced absolutely, in a relative and imperfect world breaks balance. Because it is impossible to secure an ideal perfectly in the physical world.
An ideal can be secured perfectly in a perfect world. For example, mathematical laws hold perfectly true in the abstract world of mathematics, however in the physical world new variables and constants creep into the equation.
Whenever there is an imabalance there is compensation. Perfectionism comes from some kind of inferiority.
It is hard to find but it is there...

It is a lack of our good will to express annoyance at another person because of the sounds they make when they eat or drink.
Here are some observations about this situation:
We don't get annoyed at the sounds we make when we eat or drink.
We tend to get more annoyed when others are eating and drinking and we are not.
We tend to get annoyed when others eat and drink quickly most especially when they are enjoying what they are eating and drinking.
We tend not to get annoyed when we have eaten and we have prepared the food the other person is eating and enjoying.
These observations aid us to understand that the annoyance we feel is actually in a big part from the factor of selfishness in our psychology.
It seems that when selfishness is pleased somehow we are ok, but when it itsn't we get annoyed.
The remedy here, is to feel happy that the other person is enjoying nourishing their body howevere they chose to.
Selfishness gets disturbed at others enjoying nourishing their body while we are not able to in that given moment. So if we tell ourselves: "no worries soon we will be eating too and drinking also". It is like we created that selfishness in times of great lack, hence explaining the intensity of the annoyance, where our survival instinct is being triggered.

Excuses, evasions and justifications are the opposites of will power.
The above things stop will power from developing.
If we work seriously on eliminating them we will strenghten our will power.
Evading responsibility is the biggest act of evasion.
Responsibility and consistency are also will power, as is discipline and persistence.
Will power is used 'to be' and 'to conquer'. What is not and what does not lead to conquering oursleves is not will power.
The element of reinforcing ill-will is justification.
Ill-will needs the ego to manifest.
Good will needs the consciousness to express.
The awakened will uses the free consciousness.
If we have good-will it will draw the consciousness closer and closer.
When we align our centres with a virtue we are engaging a high part of our being that mulpties benefits for others.
Ill-will also multiplies the benefits for the egos.
Clairvoyance is best used by not destroying people's ideas but helping and guiding them into manifesting that idea with and through the virtues of the soul.
When will touches memory it turns to ill-will.
When will contacts the consciousness it becomes ontological will.
Fear, anxiety and self-compassion stop us from implementing the ontological affirmative psychology.
The vehicle of the will is the word.

Anger blinds and also produces memory loss.
Anger has the function of defending, protecting and correcting.
Anger is related a loss of vision.
When we get angry our ability to visualise disappears.
Because of a lack of vision, that is usually not being able to see what others are saying, we get angry.
Often also not being able to see our own truths in a pressurised environment we can get angry.
When we can't see a truth, or see the real reason for something, or see a defect we have or an error we are making, we get angry.
When we can't see the solution, a way out or a better way to do something we get angry. When we can't see an alternative to our desire or that letting go is better we get angry.
To stop being angry we need clear, wide and deep vision. Getting angry ruins this vision and cultivating this vision weakens anger.
End (5829).
When we ourselves are unbalanced, or we are in a situation that is unbalanced, to keep ourselves or that situation going, a tremendous amount of effort is required. That effort very quickly becomes unsustainable
To sustain an imbalance, which is something that lacks true order, enormous effort is required. Crime is a very good example oif this. Crime is very costly and requires great effort to commit and to recover from. Crime we all know is imbalance and is against the order of things.
When things fall down it is a call to balance or a re-balance.
It is easy to become a saint or a sinner. It is much more difficult to become and stay balanced. Because neither the saint or sinner work with consciousness.
The consciosuness balances. It is the agent of balance.
The general pattern of the saint and sinner is that they are respectively good or bad in a certain area and the sub-areas relating to that area. Each saint and sinner are the same in that they are mixture of good and bad. Neither is better than the other.
For example, the drunkard's 'sin' just to follow the terminology, is to drink until drunk. Often that state leads to offence resulting in violence and sometimes in Licentiousness. These are the sub areas. But in many other areas of life the drunkard is good. The saint has an area that they virtuous in but in others they are not.
To be balanced is to be above both of these states.
We often like to give the appearance of balance. We prefer greatly to avoid projecting the image of imbalance. Because to be imbalanced is humiliating.
Pride adn balance are intimately connected.
When we get unbalanced we become a karmic instrument - or an agent for creating inbalance around us.
When we have the right order of things, it is a lot easier to dissolve a defect. It is also a lot easier to apply any given value.
We learn about imbalance first by observing it in others. Then looking within. When witnessing the imbalance of others it is a sure invitation to look within to find the equivalent.
We stauchly defend imbalance with sentimentality. Often this factor is what produces imbalance.
We also defend imbalance with beliefs which are not fully aligned with reality. Truly reality and truth balance us.
Often karmic memory related beliefs as well as religious and cultural beliefs are the ones powerful enough to keep imbalance going.
The value that most balances us is the truth. The apex of the triangle. Truth to see the imbalance first of all, then love to drive the correction, and wisdom to guide the 'how' to correct.
Balance and order lie at the foundation of every endevour.
What is out of balance is difficult to drive forward and control.
Balance is found and maintained using both hands. Just like driving a car, the driver - the balancer steers both left and right to keep the car straight and to arrive at the destination.
Balance makes alignment easier. Alignment is always best sought by the correct choice of the centre of gravity or reference point.
To keep an unbalanced situation going lies, coercion and lots of talking end up being resorted to. As they are the menas that provide quick patch solutions.
Imbalances after sometime all produce a crash or a falling over. It is only a matter of looking in our life to find them.
Three brains we must work with to be balanced.
To start something on a dream is for it to ollapse. Becasue it becomes unbalanced. Reality balances. For balance real and strong foundations are needed.
Many relationships end because of imbalance and because of being based on the wrong order - that is on the wrong of centre of gravity.
To remember the Being is to start with ourselves. Not with an external fantasy image of a wizard. When we don't start with ourselves going deeper into ourselves to find the Being, the exercise of remembering the Being is unbalanced and ineffective.
Balance comes forth from the right order being chosen and the right (solid) foundation. If the foundation is false and the order is wrong, balance will be continually elusive. There and not there and not ever knowing when and where it has gone and when or how it will come back.

Our life is the place to create dharma and karma. Dharma and karma for us and our Monad together. Our life here in the physical is the place for us to manage our dharma and pay our karma.
To do something expecting a specific return does work to bring us dharma.
To give 20AUD to get 20AUD does not really work to bring us dharma or pay our karma. Because we are not working with the law consciously. We are working with the law mechanically with the expectation of greed ('having').
To work consciously with a law to bring dharma, means to work with that law using the values of faith, love, hope and trust. Without these values we are working mechanically and dharma is not going to appear.
The law will still work mechanically, we will get 20AUD at some point but we won't get that multiplication which is dharma nor that freedom which is the payment of karma.
Principally we need faith and love to work consciously with these laws.
We work with a law based on conscious faith where we know that the law will work and if we work with because of love with love we maximise the law's results.
When we work with a law with trust, we don't specifiy and desire it's results we leave the results to the law's intelligence to determine for us.
To work consciously is also to make a declaration. Before giving to declare that we are going to give with love and out of love for others to receive light and happiness without any expectation, just having faith, trusting and loving will bring us dharma and pay karma.
When we lose money or we have to pay something such as a big bill, or some appliance breaks, it is a sure sign that we need to give something.
If we don't have money to give, we can give anyone of our services freely to others.
End (5825).
Accumulation of dharma and karma also applies to relationships. That is the secret why many relationships work and others do not.
When a relationship works there is dharma or merit. When a relationship is problematic there are debts.
Putting values to work in any relationship creates merit or dharma. Merit or dharma makes things to work smoothly. Even if the ego is well and alive in both people.
Debts can also be accrued, by not using values in the face of the many different events and scenarios, relationships encounter.
The very first time two people meet there is no karma or dharma, this the most nuetral point. Merit or debt can be created from there onwards.
When there is merit or debt, it is clear that two people have meet and interacted before.
When co-operation is required and there is merit, it is easy to bring co-operation, and values are used multiplying the merit.
When values are deficient, to bring co-operation and make things work as they apparently should, coercion are often used. Coericion can take two forms, one is via bending the truth and the other is by the use of force. In both cases, coercion compensates for the absence of values and is the instrument of fear.
In any case to acquire merits in an relationship, work is required. When there is existing debt, more work is required. Debts have to be repaired first and then merit from the use of values built up. When there is built-up merit there is harmony.
A relationship can turn from merit to debt when the opposite of the Divine values are used, which over time wear down the merits accummulated, turning the relationship difficult and problematic due to debt.
This teaching also explains why a person may be a good person with decent values, and eventhough some relationships are good there are others that are not. This is because there is merit already in the harmonious relationships and debt already in the difficult relationships.
Relationships with debt are problemtatic and difficult until merits appear. As soon as merits appear things change and the scales of the relationship move.
If one side of the scale favours one party more in the relationship, the Universal Divine Law of Balance has an entry to step in and administer certain acts of rebalancing so that the person with more merit can live in accordance with the nature of the merit they have. That is the secret.

One of the worst kinds of anger is the anger that is unkown, and is disproportionately strong.
This kind of anger is that way for a purpose. It is there for us to receive a shock and investigate.
This kind of anger alway hides something about ourselves, it tells us that there is something that we are not facing nor accepting about ourselves.
It says there is something that needs correcting. It says you are believing the oppsitie of what it is trying to show you. It says take notice, accept, correct and gain the strength in your essence that this anger manifests with.
