I am the Self
The Self I am.
I am a centre of awareness
I am the constant and unchanging Self
I am a centre of calm vital energy
(Observe the body, emotions, feelings, and the mind. Survey the subpersonalities, your patterns of meeting needs, and your roles, like a conductor drawing together the orchestra)
I have a personal will and can make choices.
I can make decisions and initiate action.
I can be in charge of my life
I will to be in charge of my life and progressively align myself with the will of my Higher Self, which is higher than my personal will, and the origin of divine intention, best purposes within me.
I am more than just my body.
I have a physical body which is my precious instrument of experience, sensation, and action, and its condition may vary. I am its guardian and trustee. I will to nurture it and keep it well. I will to use it as an instrument of productive service. My Higher Self is greater than the conditions of my body, - it is the origin of health, vitality, and the urge and power to serve within me.
I am more than my feelings and emotions
I am more than just my feelings, which are transitory and temporary, and enable me to be sensitive. I have emotions and feelings which bring pleasure and displeasure. The choices I make about how I react determine to a great extent if I suffer or rejoice. I will to develop my sensitivity wisely and use it to practise goodwill. My Higher Self is greater than my feelings - it is the origin of unconditional love within me, and of the power to express it.
I am more than just my mind, intellect, memories, thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes.
I have a mind that I can use to reason, think, analyse, and plan. It is my precious instrument of perception and awareness in the outer and the inner world. Its contents too are changeable. I will to train it well. I will to maintain the transpersonal attitudes and goals, and use my mind as an instrument of positive creativity. My Higher Self is more than my mind - it is the source of wisdom and intelligence within me, and of the power to use them.
I am more than my desires and impulses,
which have impelled me to activity and to meet my needs, sometimes with benefits arising, at other times with burdens, to myself or others. I can choose my direction. From now on I will choose what I will aspire to express- the fulfilment of the purposes of my Higher Self, which are greater than my personal desires and impulses.
I am more than just my imaginings - about myself or others.
Sometimes these have been creative, at others destructive. I will to be in charge of my imagination and to choose the images that I create with greater care, so that they reflect my true purpose, values and goals, - the plans of my Higher Self, - which are greater than my imaginings.
I am more than any of my parts, or roles I play in life.
I have subpersonalities that I have been unaware of - I continually become more aware of them and will to be in charge of them. I will to meet my basic needs and bring harmony to conflicting opposites within my personality. My Higher Self is the source of the qualities and power I need to do this.
I will to be in charge of my life.
I will to grow out of my past, into my potential. I will to express the best in me in daily life.
I am the Self
The Self I am.
Man can only expect to be entrusted with great power by proving his ability to use it constructively and selflessly. When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands, and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy.
For he [the naive person] does not understand that the true majesty and power are in the bringing into being of forces which are active in a thing although they cannot be perceived by the senses.
