TAMING THE SUBCONSCIOUS

 

 

The payments of karmic debts are the misfortunes beyond man's control.  Man believes that some persons are lucky, some are unlucky.  But God is very fair.  Payments of karmic debts which are the result of the operation of His infinite justice seemingly make you unlucky.  But the main reason for your misfortune is your paying off of karmic debts.  As an example, your house is leveled down, your business either burns or collapses, a deformed son or unruly son is born, or a debilitating disease afflicts you.  These are but manifestations of your paying off of your karmic debts.

 

Some people use "magic" or "occultism" to ward off one's misfortunes.  It is just like going to your debtor to ask for postponement of the payment.  This postponement does not erase the debt.  The more aware or charitable simply allocates ten percent of their income to charity.  The good credits of good deeds then go to the payment of karmic debt.  Some go into charity work spending money, effort, and Love in the process.

 

Again, the credits earned go into the payment of the Love debts if there is any.  These are the ones that could ward off misfortune since they actually go to the root cause of "misfortune" which is the payment of karmic debts.  And to think that some complain to heaven that they were born under an unlucky star!

 

For this reason, it is important for you to know the recurring problems you face in order to discern from them the pattern of your paying off of karmic debt.   This will bring you peace of mind.  And with the resignation comes Awareness, then serene happiness.  You might even be thankful that you are given the chance to pay.  You should be thankful that now that you are aware of the particular imperfections of your spirit, you can correct them.  You can reform and the knowledge will thus set you free and enable you to evolve further spiritually and even materially.  This is what Jesus Christ meant in saying "Seek ye first the kingdom of God."   In seeking, you thus pay all your obligations printed by the computer justice in heaven.

 

Aside from the "misfortunes," the paying off of karmic debts, there are things in your lives which can help.  In this life, you also have to learn to tame your subconscious and bring it under control.  For the unchained drives of your subconscious pull you down nearer the center of Earth.  And therefore it is necessary to depolarize the forces.  It is necessary to control these drives so as for you to be detached from your natural affinity for material things which hinders you from being attracted to things spiritual.  This is the application of the principle of duality.

 

But how do you identify your drives, your intense desires?  Simple.  In the stillness of the night or in the refreshing silence of the early morning dawn, you meditate.  You look into yourself and write down all the thing you want out of your life including the trivial.   From them group the likes.  Then you can pinpoint the sources.

 

For example, you can put under the heading SEX: likes to court girls, easily aroused by beautiful women, likes to go to bold shows, likes to go on nightclubbing, likes to court in spite of being married, or likes the sweet praises and attention of the opposite sex, and so on.

 

Then under the heading of FOOD:  likes delicious food, cannot eat except when the food is to one's liking, loves to eat in restaurants, cannot control one's diet, good food is more important than being trim and slim, etc.

 

Then you can have another heading under RICHES:  being overly ambitious to acquire assets; likes to go into business to become rich; likes good clothes, beautiful shoes, and all ostentatious consumptions; pursuit of money is the primordial preoccupation.

 

Another heading is POWER. You can include here your inordinate desire to become officer of a club but if not elected you do not want to help anymore.   Include here your search for material resources or riches when you are not really attracted to ostentatious consumption but you enjoy these for the influence they bring.  So in effect, your search for money is actually search for power.  Search for honor might be part of the quest for power when you want to exert influence on other people.

 

There are more.  You look for the heading.  And you will be surprised that they will bring you to the causes of your cardinal sins.  They will lead you to your uncontrolled desires.

 

After knowing your drives, your weaknesses, what do you do?  You now consciously tame these, for in their taming lies your success in spiritual and material perfection.  These drives are the lessons you, together with your rider spirits, have to learn in this life.   Knowing them well will facilitate your conquering them.  Then you apply the exertion of Will Power.

 

To conquer the subconscious, you do not do it all at once.  You do it little by little.  First you make it a policy to observe moderation in all things you do:  like avoiding overeating or unbridled sex, oversleeping, or over-drinking.  Moderation will satisfy your subconscious needs but it will not unnecessarily strengthen it.

Then little by little, when the urge comes, you postpone its satisfaction.   For example, you feel very sleepy.  Fight it off and postpone it for ten minutes.   When you are no longer sleepy after ten minutes, then you have tamed your subconscious for the time being.  Your subconscious abets your laziness and wants your body to rest; when you are asleep he is the boss.

 

When you feel like eating good food with cold beer, you postpone the urge and instead eat the ordinary food with lemonade.   When you have the impulse to buy new clothes or shoes, you postpone the need for the following week.  You can apply postponement for all your desires and wants.  Postponement does not antagonize your subconscious as this is the trick used by him in dissuading you from going to church or in doing your assigned tasks.  When you succumb to the pleadings of the subconscious to postpone tasks, then you are said to have acquired "manana" habit.  You are very enthusiastic at the start only to lose the zeal in procrastinations and postponements.   Executives (the successful ones) are devoid of this "manana" habit.  So what you do is put it to use.  To tame your subconscious, apply consciously procrastination to your needs and drives but not to your assigned tasks.

 

And once you succeed in postponing, you starve to death little by little your subconscious.  You can abstain from good clothes for a week, from sex for a week, from rich foods for a week, a whole meal once, twice, and finally thrice a day. Then you can abstain from food for a week.  And somewhere in your life when you feel you have succeeded in relatively suppressing your desires without much complaint by your subconscious as shown by the absence of the hunger for these drives, as manifested by your subconscious' refusal to entertain them in your dreams, then you are ready to make a slave out of your subconscious.  You are ready for the complete subjugation of your subconscious.

 

How do you do this?  You fast for 40 days and nights. You substitute your material food with the food of the spirit, the pranic energy or Love of God for his creations.  Fasting here does not mean avoidance of solid, rich food alone (honey and water with a little salt is allowed) but includes avoidance of all the urges in man like sex, leisure, pleasure, and so on.  The idea is to remove all traces of material things to cleanse the soul, so as to replace these with pranic energy, with all spiritual things. Fasting is just like changing oil in a car.  You remove all the dark motor oil and substitute it with heavenly clear oil.  The machine will be 100 percent efficient.

 

After 40 days and nights of fasting, from food, wine, women, pleasure, and substituting them with pranic energy, spiritual thoughts brought by reading the Bible or by an earphone attached to a tape recorder constantly playing a prayer, sermon, or passages in the Bible, you will become a changed man.  You will become more spiritual than material.

 

 It is because you have learned not only to tame but to subjugate the subconscious.  The full control of yourself will then enable you to climb smoothly the ladder of material and spiritual perfection.
