the sun and the wind where having a bet one day who could take off this mans coat who was walking in the park. the wind told the sun i will take off his coat im the mighty wind and the sun told the wind i will take of his coat im the gentle sun.

so the wind blew and blew, and blew harder but the man just helf tighter and tighter to his coat. then the sun smiled and through the warmth the man took off his coat.

It's a life long process however I am an absolute slave to me mastering myself and in that relationship, my realities are manifesting favorably for my existence and also increasing peace within my God given soul.

What's the point if only at the end of your life you achieve mastery of self?

Why not spend 1-2 years developing the financial aptitude and get everything you want that way?

I had a really hard time following those posts, they're really vague...

Are you referring to Matthew chapter 6?

Jesus said not to store up treasures for yourself here on earth but to store up treasures in heaven. You can't take money and gold with you when you die.

And that you can not worship both God and money. You can tell by looking at pastors. They're either ungodly hypocrites that spend church offerings on fancy cars, or they're extremely humble cats who drive a beat up Camry

To give you more of a clue:

There was a war between two gods before even the time of Kemet. The gods are spiritualism and physical reality/materialism. Guess which god won?

Guess which god (principle) we are all serving and worshipping now?

The bible is indeed garbage if you don't know how to read it. It's a coded book. "It's easier for a camel to slip through the eye of a needle, than a rich man get to heaven".

I never understood that until not long ago.

You can't serve two gods...



And what has this thinking done for you?

Do you own your home? Do you own a car? Do you own property? Are your kids in the best schools?

You say u dropping jewels well how well have these jewels worked for your reality?

Because I don't equate a fulfilled life with acquiring "stuff" or attracting people who feel that way. Question tho: Why would you assume that I do not have a level of financial aptitude to buy everything what "I" want?

There's plenty of jewels but how clear are your stones :hubie::patrice:

I'm not the op you replied to but once you master yourself, it's a lot easier to get into other things.:manny:

That's if you truly mastered yourself. :jbhmm:

Neither do I, money is a tool for me to increase my life, i.e. travel and learn so that I can grow as a person.

I don't know what self mastery is to be honest though. And can one ever achieve self mastery living in society? Influencers are everywhere and if you are on a path of mastery of self, there is the potential to be led astray.

Drake been spitting from the survival scrolls but y'all don't want to listen.

Drake said, it's good to make it better when your people (aka the chosen people of god) make it with you.

In the next line he states, money coming money going it's not like you could take it with you.

If you ever read the new testament, 1 Timothy 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

Cool.
For MY life, self mastery is an all encompassing thing. I KNOW me and know what I require in order to live a fulfilled and fruit bearing life. I also know what hinders me from doing that, both within and outside of my control. That's the knowledge side of my self mastery.

My goal is to live among the obstacles and short comings without being a slave them. I'd rather be a slave to conquering the impacts of those obstacles (externally and internally), thus empowering myself to be the master of my life.

I can understand that, I try to live in a similar fashion. What books do you recommend?

Believe it or not, I recommend a therapist. Mental health is a key component in all of this and at least for me, examples of other people "over coming" or living out their like its golden hasn't worked for me since childhood. I could go down the list of cliche books like 48 laws, Think and Grow Rich, The Alchemist, ANYTHING by Tony Robbins and, hell, even "1984" (ironically, its an appropriate read for this conversation), but ultimately, they were just good reads with great messages that didn't apply to MY personal self.

In short, you gotta get that evil out and a good therapist would help for starters. Just my opinion.

Not even a therapist. They say like 75% of therapy working is just about having an honest unjudgemental conversation. Conversations maybe you can't have with your family or friends for whatever reasons.
