Restoring Personal Sovereignty over the Mind

The mind is where awareness meets possibility. These possibilities include personally beneficial and personally detrimental potential. If we do not understand how the mind works, we can spend a lifetime avoiding the detrimental potentialities we fear. This is because every potentiality is a possibility. Impossible is what lies beyond the limits of personal beliefs about what is possible. Impossible is the personal justification for the observed limits of human expression. If we believe a detrimental potential is not only possible, but likely it will affect personal volition.

This can lead to the unconscious being used by our awareness according to its understanding, to generate fearful potential opportunities. These potentialities compete for our faith in order to control how an individual’s mind processes data. It is not until we believe that in certain circumstances, they are an inevitable conclusion do the form a line of existential code on the hard drive of our body’s personal mind. For example, if I step out in front of a bus, I am certain, that unless the bus stops, I will get hit by the bus. This is belief!

Beliefs are the same as fact within the personal mind. The power of each and every belief is the faith it obtains. If a possibility is contemplated, but not believed, then it is a hypothesis. If a possibility is taken as a highly probable or factual inevitability, then it is a belief. Facts and beliefs have equal power over a believer’s mind. Unless we have a brain-injury or are born disabled or have not developed the ability to operate our mind, we are all believers. It is only when we invest our faith in an unusual belief that the power of all beliefs is revealed.

Most people do not realise that they are as constrained as a phobic, or as potentially dangerous as a religiously motivated fanatic. When we belief that one behaviour will cause us injury or death, we seem to naturally develop personal beliefs (complexes) to ensure we avoid the circumstances of that eventuality. If I focus on the belief that stepping out in front of a bus will kill me, I may develop a fear of buses. To overcome this, the logical conclusion is the conscious development of opposing beliefs that compel certain behaviours.

The belief that if I step in front of a bus or I will get killed, is detrimental to the psychology of a child who must travel to school by bus. This can be mitigated by the belief that I must always look both way before crossing the road. This means that the child mind creates a condition (behavioural) that enables them to use buses without putting themselves into danger, according to their own perception of that potentiality. Sitting beside this child on the same bus is a child who is oblivious to the risks contemplated, perceived and managed by his/her travelling companion.

One man’s white knuckle ride is another man’s boredom. One is clinging to his life trying to get through a plane journey, whilst the other is watching videos to alleviate his boredom on the flight. Fear is a management system used by an individual to keep them safe. The fear is nothing more than a perceptually induced neurochemical response. This means the cause of the fear (unpleasant feelings) is not the perceived situation or stimulus. The cause is our perception of the self, situation, people or stimulus. Fear is a strategy.

We are all experts in the generation of fearful, biased, behaviourally restricting beliefs. In the example of a fear of moving bus, the fear is ‘caused’ and sustained by the belief that I may or will get hit by a bus. Going deeper, it is supported by the fear generated by the belief that I may forget to look both ways, and step out in front of a bus. Practically, these beliefs ensure my perception of a moving bus generates a perceptually induced neurochemical responses (feeling/emotion) that reminds me of the perceived danger, enforcing the appropriate behaviours.

Many believe that if they travel by aircraft, the plane may crash killing all on board. This is supported by the fact that they know that they do not know how to fly a plane and the fact that if it crashes, there will be no survivors. We all have the God-given power to control the limits and expression of our own mind. That power is faith. Every belief without exception is a belief because it has obtained a believer’s faith. The only thing a mind can lack is understanding. An individual may also lack wisdom and therefore discernment.

The most powerful thing in this world is faith. However, if used without wisdom it can lead to life of self-imposed existential incarceration. This can be perceived by others are ignorance, lack of understanding, fear, neurosis and bigotry. To justify our personal limitations is fight for them. This is to fight for the continuation of our own self imposed incarceration. When the probability of the risk is too remote, the creation of a self-limiting belief is inappropriate. This is where wisdom and discernment are required.

If we lack wisdom or discernment but recognise that we are stuck in an existence that we are unable to transcend, its time to seek the advice and counsel of others. The best person to teach you how to run is a runner. The best person to teach you how to cook is a cook. If you are unhappy, seek out the advice of happy people. If you are fearful seek out the advice of courageous people. Fear of death is insanity. This is because death is inevitable and no amount of strategies, fears or phobias can prevent it.

This means that we should not fear, we should understand. We do not need to fear being run over by a bus, but we do need to understand that stepping out in front of a bus will cause injury or death. We simply need to develop behaviours that ensure we do not step out in front of a bus. The belief ‘I must not step out in front of a moving bus’, worships fear. The belief that I should ensure the road is clear before walking across the road ensures success. The objective must be to cross the road safely. The objective must not to avoid being killed.

A moving towards objective generates motivation (feelings). A moving away from strategy generates fear (feelings). The way we use our mind determines the quality of our life. The quality of life is how it feels. All feelings are ‘perceptually induced neurochemical responses. The same mechanisms are at work in both of these examples. The same mechanisms are also at work when driving, cooking, welding, performing surgery, constructing a building. How your life feels reveals how you are managing your own mind.

We are awareness! We have a mind but we are not our mind. We have a body but we are not our body. The quality of our life is how it feels. The contents of our body’s mind create the quality of our life. We control our mind. This is until we use autopilot and exist in a state of unconscious. How our life feels is determined by our personal understanding. The only thing a mind can lack is understanding. So, what is understanding? Understanding is the personal and unique paradigm that each and every one of us, exists within.

The personal paradigm of the programmed mind is invisible to others. Each and every one of us, without exception, exists within a unique paradigm. The paradigm is called ‘perception’. We are not our perception. We are the awareness that is experiences the world through the medium of it’s the mind’s perception. Perception is the unique understanding of our own awareness. The potential of our awareness is unlimited but the expression of our individual awareness, is not. Our health, behavioural expression and understanding reveals our perception.

When two people meet to discuss an issue a disagreement can arise. The disagreement reveals two worlds clashing. Most of us, agree that there are religions, schools, cities, vehicles and economies. This is because they exist and have evidence for their existence. This is not where disagreements arise. It is only when our understanding of any subject or phenomenon is objectively scrutinised that the limits of our personal understanding become apparent. This is because we can both look at the same object and define it in completely different qualitative terms.

Perception is a trap. Our understanding can hold a person in a perpetual state of fear, anxiety and neurosis. This can then lead to the development of avoidance plans, strategies and behaviours. Many people live ‘in fear’. This means that regardless of their geographical location, the exist within a fearful paradigm. The world their personal awareness exists within, is not the same world that is occupied by the awareness of others. This is because the world our awareness lives in, is a hallucination that, in part, does not, and never has, existed outside of our mind.

Two separate people can share the same physical space. They can be of the same nationality, the same religion, live in the same neighbourhood and work at the same company. However, one may be self-deprecating, fearful, anxious and introverted. The other person may be outgoing, confident, enjoy attending social events and relish in the enjoyment of the environments and circumstances in which they find themselves. One person can love social occasions and the other may be an agoraphobic. Awareness is universal. At source, we are one.

When source (prana/chi/life) is filtered through the mind of one body, it becomes a separate part of the whole. The life in each body is a separate component of the whole. Unlike the body and the mind, the life cannot be destroyed. This body is an opportunity for the whole to create the unique perspective that is ‘you’. When the child is born, its body is animated by the miracle of universal life. The source of all creation gives life to the perspective of each body. It is from this perspective that the facts of the body’s existence are used to justify the existence of an identity.

The self’s belief in the identity is the first belief. The evidence of this first belief is the name. The evidence that ‘I’ exist is my body. But I am not my body or its name. I am not a religion. I am none of these things. The body creates a portal for ‘me’. What am I? I am God’s perspective on my unique experience. When awareness is persuaded through various forms of conditioning, such as speech, hugging, feeding and maternal care, that it is a boy or a girl, the evidence for this fact is their body. If I am just a body, then was born and I will die.

This is not fact. The body is born and the body dies but I am not my body. Why are we born? We are born in order for the whole to simultaneously develop its understanding through millions of perspectives each having unique understanding of the whole. The separate parts are separate perspectives of the same source. There are claims that 370,000 babies are born every day. It is through these perspectives that greater understanding is expressed. The contribution to collective understanding of individual awareness increases universal understanding.

Over the centuries the scepticism of scientific claims and dogma, has led to numerous unprecedented technological breakthroughs. The technological breakthroughs are revealed through the imagination of those who have not fossilised their understanding. Individual perspectives are portals through which unlimited understanding can be expressed. This expression is prevented by any individual who places their faith in fixed or dogmatic beliefs. It is only when the mind has an explicit or implied standard that it can criticise something it perceives.

This criticism is a request for greater understanding. There is a sacred paradox in the form of a definition that cannot define what it defines. It is that “God is the greater understanding that exists beyond all understanding.” When we question the sovereignty and integrity of a scientific, political or theological claim, the claim will withstand all challenges or it will collapse. Matthew 7:7-8 (KJV) “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”

Our thoughts and ideas cannot directly confront any ‘opposing’ belief that we have invested our faith in. This means that the less we believe, the more potential we have. This world is controlled by authorities who decide what is and what is not. Anyone who does not conform is unacceptable in the eyes of the authorities. Conformance means that our faith is running an existential code, authored by others, that has programmed the expression of our own mind. When we decide that this is this, then it cannot be that. This prevents the influence of ‘that’.

Romans 12:2 (KJV) “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Happiness is the expression of the love of God. The world cannot make us happy, but God can and does. What is God? God is the greater understanding that exists beyond all understanding. We aren’t evolving! We are realising. We are realising that the limits of our perception are not the limits of what is possible. The limits of our perception reveal the limits of our understanding.

A hypothesis is the suspicion of something that is not proven. A hypothesis is a belief that a potential belief, might be true. We convert a hypothesis into a personal belief, simply by assembling words into an ‘I believe’ statement and placing our faith in it. The beliefs become lines of existential code within a programme called ‘perception’. Perception then filters and translates all experience so that we are only aware of what we have been educated to perceive and any part of the world that God created, that is not defined by the book of spells (dictionary) is invisible to us.

Belief-editing is how we develop our personal understanding and the understanding of others. If we can be persuaded to place our faith in the belief that a ‘concept’ is fact, then our perception of what the concept defines, is replaced by its conceptual definition. This is how you turn a friend and neighbour into an enemy. This is you create a Communist, Muslim, Christian, Conservative and Republican. Archetypal identities (Soldiers, Police, Christians, Muslims, Nuns, Doctors, Engineers, etc) are created through the acquisition of ‘belief systems’.

Archetypal belief systems are software created to sustained existential models of existence. These models are sustained by cultural software composed of ‘I-Beliefs’. When a Christian converts to Islam he’s no longer a Christian. When a Muslim converts to Christianity, he’s no longer a Muslim. The only thing that changed was the believer’s ‘perception’ of self and how he perceives the world. These archetypal belief systems are existential software designed to programme and control the believer’s mind, creating different forms of existential incarceration.

The fact that the authorities of the world need laws to enforce conformance, shows that, they are competing with God. Anyone who has been filled with the Holy Spirit will experience immediate and lasting personal transformation. They don’t need to go to church, they are the living church. They don’t need to believe, because they know. Anyone who competes with God, for your faith is an adversary of God. That is the literal definition of a Satanist. Any government whose laws are not obedient to God are his adversaries. This is the literal definition of Satanism.

The whole world has allowed demonic concepts to categorise and define what God created. People have been educated (programmed) to use these concepts to redefine what God created. If we believe that there is a universe, then our mind cannot contemplate an alternative possibility. If we believe all Christians, Muslims or Jews are bad, the mind will not contemplate an alternative possibility. Until we ‘consciously’ restore personal sovereignty over our own mind, we are nothing more than two legged robots who software (perception) is programmed by others.

The constant distraction of the readily available content on our screens, has removed our ability to concentrate and focus. Learning any new skill requires us to focus on the information until we understand it and practice the skill until our results are consistent. Restoring personal sovereignty is not only possible, but necessary if we are to experience freedom. This essay is an invitation to those who are prepared to put in the work, to fight for their freedom. The restoration of personal sovereignty involves the individual going to war with his own mind.

More accurately, we must fight against our personal addiction to distraction. This requires us to fight against the body’s feelings of unease, and all of the withdrawal symptoms. This is a fight we cannot lose ‘unless’ we give in to the temptations that the authorities use to distract us from the treasures of our own mind. Salvation which is liberation of the true self from the false self (archetypal identity) restores access to the mind’s unlimited potential. Any belief that defines self is a sin. Our behaviour is the truth of us. A thief is a thief. But there is forgiveness.

Forgiveness is the moment before we gave our faith to a belief that I’m going to steal ‘this’ or ‘that’. This first belief gives birth to other beliefs, like how, when and where I will steal. This is accompanied by the belief that we will not be caught. This is like a function in a computer programme compiled using if, elif and else, lines of code to create the function (ability) of a thief. This is unjust because it creates a victim who didn’t agree to edit their own mind’s code. The following is a method (there are others) that will restore personal sovereignty over the mind.

The method is not a trick, and reveals what the Bible was created for. The method can be applied to anything that is considered difficult or impossible. Impossible is a belief. Possible is a fact. So, to the method. Pick up a bible and start reading it. Make notes under chapter headings on each and every chapter. Those notes will be your understanding of that chapter. Do this starting with the Old Testament and continue until you have read the New Testament in its entirety and have a set of notes, which will not reveal the Bible, but will reveal your understanding of it.

For those who cannot focus this will be one of the most difficult things they have ever done and many will simply give up. This is where they realise that they do not have personal sovereignty over their own mind. This will also reveal the fact the we are not our mind. An addict is looked down on in society, but this is simply because society has not realised that the whole world is addicted to their own ‘perceptually induced neurochemical responses’. Most of us use gossip, drugs, food, sex, screen content, videos, movies, comedy and the news to get their fix.

It is important to make notes of the Bible so that even if you can only concentrate for ten seconds, you have some understanding of what your awareness was exposed to. Most minds are now conditioned by all of the competing audio visual stimulus and this will distract you almost immediately. So go for ten seconds and put the book down. Then go back and go for 15 seconds. Don’t fight the mind, because, as any addict will tell you, the unconscious forces of a conditioned mind are more vigilant than any conscious effort.

Concentration and focus are muscles that must be built. It may take many weeks to restore 1% of an individual’s sovereignty. If you want an example of how long it takes to establish absolute sovereignty over mind and body, ask an Olympic Gold Medallist or a World champion in any sport. This is what you have to go through. The prize is sovereignty over your own mind and the ability to consciously direct the unlimited unconscious resources therein. Another alternative to reading the bible for those who do not want a religious context is to learn to code.

Learning to code will require focus and concentrate and notes should also be made to record personal understanding. Our understanding should be contemplated in order to encourage our mind to assist. The mind works autonomously and ‘initially’ it must be guided and directed. This is why we must not allow our awareness to be programmed by screens and should vigilantly censor what we allow our awareness to be exposed to. Hypnosis is real. Ignorance is real. The mind’s potential is unlimited but we must decide what we require from it.

Either buy a Bible or sign up to an online coding course, such as Python and let the war begin. This will be difficult for those who have no interest in the Bible or Coding, but is necessary to restore personal sovereignty. The mind will eventually ‘get with the programme’ and it will start to unconsciously discern what serves us and what does not. This cannot be done by a Psychologist, Psychiatrist or a teacher. Only you can take back personal sovereignty. You can be guided and coached, but only by someone who has done this.

If you are easily distracted you may already be losing hours of each day to screen content that is of no value to you. If so, this will be the most difficult thing you have ever done. The prize is sovereignty over your own mind and access to its unlimited creative resources. The potential of each and every mind is unlimited but the expression of each mind is not. We have allowed teachers, religions, media and online influencers to tell how to be. Our mind’s expression is either being consciously programmed by us or unconsciously programmed by others.

If you do not have courage, it’s because you have invested your faith in beliefs that prejudice your perception of the things you fear. Change that perception and the fear will disappear. The belief that you cannot do this or are unable to focus on the learning objective is just that, ‘a belief’. We can only believe what we do not know! Remove all distractions that can or will distract you from the work that is required to read the bible or learn to code. Difficult is anything that is beyond our understanding or ability. Difficulty is describing unpleasant feelings.

The most difficult learning comes from virgin awareness. This means you have no knowledge or understanding of the terminology, or the meaning, of how, what you’re learning works. When we can learn from a place of virgin awareness, which is complete ignorance, we have mastered our mind. Virgin awareness is the most uncomfortable and most difficult way to learn. You will feel tired, itchy, think about something else and if you have access to a screen, you will be tempted to scroll. Don’t! Fight for your own salvation. It may even feel painful!

Salvation is the restoration of the whole mind. You can be saved by the grace of God, but you can also fight for your own salvation. The potential of each mind is unlimited but the expression of each mind is not. The personal potential of each mind is what the individual desires. If you want to achieve your personal desires, you must do the work. We have been given the miracle of life and an unlimited mind. However, this mind has been programmed to ensure it conforms to this world. It is our personal mission to save our self. Don’t give up!
