THE Mind / Personality: The purpose - to generate awareness of the moment.
1. Letting the mind be still.
2. Letting go of control.
3. Living in the moment.
Clarity is what we like to call no-mind in the martial arts world. It is being in the zone, living spontaneously, and not attempting to control life; being in the moment and in a place where you can say that nothing is wrong. Two of the questions I hear most often are, how do I get control of life and how do I make what I want to happen? You cannot control life. You can however learn to live positively by focusing on your dreams and creating the intentions and actions to achieve what you desire. In Deepak Chopra's "Seven Spiritual Laws” and in Blayne's "The Secret" both authors talk about the law of attraction or Intentions and desires. Clarity is realizing that you create your future with your thoughts and your actions towards those goals. For example, for several years my winter retreats were something I dreamed of and planned for. I worked every day towards making the dream come true. I believed that it would happen at the appropriate time and it has happened.
From Zukav’s Seat of the Soul, "taking into account the consequences of your decision is responsible choice. It means to create strongly in the present moment. Do not lose power over the what-ifs of your life. Keep your power just in the day to day that you are living on the earth and not on how to live for tomorrow. Allow yourself to experience what it is to learn the freedom that comes from being unattached to the outcome, but operating from an empowered heart."
Live in the trust that when it is appropriate, pieces will fall into place and you will see clearly. The journey to authentic power requires that you become conscious of all that you feel. Clarity is seeing with love and understanding the law of karma (attraction) and its relationship to what you experience in this life. Clarity allows you to give up judging others with different values. Non-judgment is difficult to achieve, but what it allows is the energy of the heart to flow and to connect with others different from you. There is no need to stress over the things you cannot control or to worry about situations that are happening in your life. Focus on learning how to be at peace in the moment and taking that skill with you back to your daily life. Living with least effort, striving to remove as much stress from your life is your goal. This happens when your actions are motivated by positive choices.
When you seek power and control you waste energy. You spend your energy chasing the illusion of happiness instead of enjoying happiness in the moment, but when your actions are motivated by love there is no waste and your energy multiplies; your energy builds and you can accomplish whatever you want. You will change people’s lives in a positive way and you will have become an authentic powered person
