Giving Our Power Away

Being a victim and giving our power away go hand in hand. When we blindly follow external authorities and expect them to fix our problems, we have given them power over us.

Any external authority will be destructive and restrictive. They will not have our best interests in mind. They will have their best interests in mind.

Are we to be like the soldier that murders civilians because he was ordered to or are we going to think for ourselves and act for ourselves?

There is something inside us that is weak and wants to turn power and responsibility over to external authority like the government. Each and every time we turn to an external authority we give a portion of our personal power away and become more of a victim. Each time we wait for someone to teach or empower us we loose valuable time in our lives that could be spend in active effort.

If we refused to turn our power over to external authorities and lived according to our "True Will" the world would be a much better and safer place and we would treat each other as equals.

Moral Absolutes

In the gray murkiness of what is right and what is wrong, there are some absolutes a person can count on:

The importance of knowing your "True Will" and the perfection of your personal paradigm or view of reality. Each will be different from everyone elses, but will be in harmony with the universe. They represent your particular place in the universe and the reason for your existence.

All personal effort is cumulative in nature. Without personal effort we will not get anywhere. We must apply ourselves and not look to others to fulfill our needs for us.

Each of these require that we be entirely honest with ourselves and with each other. We must be true to ourselves at all costs and allow others the same respect.


There are some things that are unconditionally bad:

Habitual dishonesty and laziness.

Destructive actions or activity intended simply to destroy without replacing what exists with something better.

Denying individual rights or controlling others simply because they are not doing what you want them to do or controlling them for the "higher good". This is especially true for laws and government authorities that try to control people through legal legislation.

This includes the use of force against individuals. The use of force is never justified except in self defense or the defense of loved ones.


Giving personal power away to some higher cause or person is never in our best interests and is never justified. They will always act in their own best interest and not in ours.

Always remember we find our "True Will" by listening to our "internal authority" and not some teacher or Guru. That includes these teachings as well. They are intended to make you think and decide for yourself. They are not to be accepted blindly or followed blindly.

We Can't Change By Ourselves

While carving out our individual destinies it might be wise to reflect upon our present circumstances. We are where we are because of our past actions and beliefs.


In many instances we have trapped ourselves in circumstances due to past actions and there is no way out except through the experience. There might not be a "magickal" cure for our situation.

The universe has it's own momentum and seeks to keep things the way they are. It seeks to keep us right where we are, at least until the next critical point in time or crisis when it is forced to change. Combine that with our own self defeating behaviors and it is a wonder that we can carve anything.

There are several ways of working around these obstacles. The first is to develop our personal power through extreme effort daily and injecting that energy into the astral during the evening as we sleep. We will notice more vivid and empowering dreams. If we are not having at least three vivid and empowering dreams a week, we are not putting out enough energy into the astral to make any difference.

This acts upon the principle that we can't change without the help of external forces. If we could, we wouldn't be where we are. We use the pressure of external forces to "crack" open the walls that imprison us.



The ancient Egyptians would cut a shallow groove in lime stone and pound a dry rope into the groove. Then they would add water and force the rope to expand and split the rock. We are the rope and the intense energy we create is the water that expands until the environment around us cracks.

One of the "Grand Illusions",is that we can change through our own efforts without the use of external supports and forces. It doesn't work that way. We have the choice of picking the train we stand in front of, but it is the train that does the damage or makes the change, not us.

The astral layers expand and compress with the daily and lunar cycles. By injecting energy forcibly into the astral during the day our astral "self" inflates and takes up more astral space. As the astral layers compress they work like a giant nut cracker and break open areas in our lives by finding the weakest links.

My point is if we are not getting results quickly enough, we are not generating enough energy or we are in the wrong program. We monitor results through dream activity or the development of some special skill. Our personal development should be progressing at a pace we are satisfied with. We should be excited about weekly gains and successes.



The concepts and techniques given in this material will ensure rapid progress in a safe and effective manner. If it doesn't work, throw it out! There are no empty promises, only results!

Carving Our Destiny

We can carve our own destiny. The point of power is in the present moment but not in the way some might suppose. To live and act in the present moment is to reap the full benefits of past actions and make choices affecting our future in a positive way.

Too many dwell on the past and spend their energy wishing things were different or like they used to be. This is a waste of precious time.

Others say, "I will write my book next year" or start exercizing after the holidays. They have plan after plan but never get started because a new plan comes along and takes it's place. The net result is nothing substantial ever gets done.

Even more interesting, most people live for immediate gratification and won't put effort out for long range goals. Long range goals are simply too unreal for them.

It is a balancing act to learn from our past and make choices affecting our future. We do this by living fully in the present moment.

It might help to realize the major events of our lives are locked into place a year ahead of time.

The Akashic records are etheric in nature. They reflect things that will happen in the future and things that have happened in the past.

Each year new events enter into the akashic records. They are potential events that are finally ready to manifest physically. The end point for putting new events into the akashic records is the autumn equinox of each year. This means the main events we experience were placed into the akashic record some time during the last year. There is some lag time between when they enter and when they physically manifest.

Minor alterations in our physical life can be filled using the lunar cycle as well. It is important to live in harmony with both the solar and lunar cycles of nature.

Our physical body lives in the space/time universe and our soul lives in the time/space universe. Each universe has different rules. As physical matter gravitates toward each other in the space/time universe, events gravitate toward each other in the time/space universe. There are critical time periods where everything happens at once and long periods where nothing happens.

This is a natural phenomenon that astrology has tried to understand and master. The important point is there are periods of time that are more important than others and we must take advantage of them to be successful in life.

In the same token, don't attempt something when the time is wrong because the entire effort might be put at risk. Our "inner authority" will guide us into action at the proper time when we learn to listen to it. We can learn to recognise the natural closing points and opportunities that surround us by living in the present moment.

Our Inner Child

Our "inner child" knows how to live a balanced life. We can recapture the excitement, the adventure and the energy we had as children. This will help us live a balanced life.

There are some important differences between the child and the adult we can explore.

The excess energy children have comes into this life with them from past lives. It is energy they have earned and brought to use as they wish.

This surplus energy is used up by puberty and it's absence triggers the need for the body to produce it's own energy. There is a reversal of energy flow as the child hits adolescence and the free energy is no longer available. This produces the stress and angst that teenagers experience.

Producing our own energy is difficult at first and instead we get energy from other people, especially as teenagers. We hang out with people that give us the energy we require. In like manner, they get energy from us they require. This is mutually beneficial.



At first most of the energy comes from our parents through our genetic link This link is an etheric link that exists throughout our lives. That is why the relationship between us and our parents is so important in modern psychology.

Of the seven types of shared energies, the chances are that at least one type of energy comes naturally and easy to us. Other types comes very hard. We use our "friends" as crutches to balance our lives and provide us with those hard to get energies.

The energy cycle of relationships is like this:

1- Union- we have enough energy as children and freely give it away to others.

2- Movement-We sense our lack and move toward energy we can't produce ourselves. Not knowing where to turn, we begin to explore our environment.

3- Attraction-We are increasingly drawn toward another person and have indentified our energy goals.

4- Seduction- The other person invites us into their sphere of energy and gives us the energy we crave.

5- Entrapment-We realize the other person is feeding off our energies the same way we are feeding off theirs. We are locked in co-dependancy.

6- Exploitation- We are taken for granted as the other person gets their own energy needs met. We get less energy than we are giving out. We give less in return and take them for granted or turn to others and exploit them.

7- Loss of inocence-We have trapped ourselves in a relationship that is not healthy and we can't get out of it. Energy we can't spare is being taken from us and we are emotionally drained. At the same time we drain energy from others in a viscious cycle.

8- Join forces-We use cooperative communication and supportive effort to move toward mutual goals and needs even though the spark and the attraction are gone. We realize mutually using each other can achieve positive results even if it is not exactly what we would like.

9- The spark-A new type of attraction is born out of competency as we become successful. We no longer need the other person or their energy but choose to be with them out of friendship. We have earned the respect of our partner and in turn we respect them.

10- Realization-We understand each other as true equal partners in the giving and recieving of energy within the relationship. We realize our own strengths and weaknesses as well as those of our partner and value our relationship with each other.

Through work we train ourselves to generate the energy we need. We develop the ability to generate each energy easily and once more have a surplus of it. This is important because most of the things we lack in life are the result of not having enough energy to go out and get them. This surplus energy allows us to reclaim our "inner child".

Actuality vs. Reality

Defining terms is important in communicating with others.

The following concept is about "actuality vs reality". Actuality is what exists in the universe. We might never know it because it is so complex and based in chaos theory. What exists might be so complex the human mind might not be able to percieve or understand it.

Consider that animals are able to smell scents we are not aware of. The honey bee can see colors we are not aware of. There are many life forms living in our world that sense things we do not. It is almost as if they are living in a different world.

We are limited by what our outer and inner "senses" tell us and we call that "reality". The scents we can't smell and the colors we can't see are not "real" to us and are not part of our "reality".

It is our subjective veiw of "Reality" that we live and act in. There is also a "collective reality" we agree on most of the time. For example we agree to drive on the right side of the road if we live in the United States.

There is a paradoxical element about actuality and reality. The closer our "reality" approximates "actuality", the more successful our efforts will be. If we believe in a fantasy that is make believe it will never manifest results in physical life. If it works use it. If it does not work...throw it away. We are interested in results and in fulfillment of our needs. We are not interested in perpetuating illusion and superstition.

Another aspect of this issue is that a "close minded" person will achieve much more than an "open minded" person. The close minded person has no doubt about what is right and what is wrong. He or she does not hesitate to do what he or she feels is needed.

For personal empowerment we need to be "close minded". This will grant us certainty and keep us tightly focussed on our goal. The trick is to be "close minded" in a healthy way. We do this by perfecting our personal veiw of reality or our "paradigm".

In following our "inner authority" we get flashes of insight and personal "truths" that gradually become our "reality". When we find our "true path" and "True Will" we know what is real for us. We become "close minded" in confidence that we are doing what is best for both ourselves and we are also helping the entire human race.

Living a Balanced Life

Our individual needs are complex and each person is different from their neighbor. Still we can simplify our needs into broad general catagories.

The important concept is to live "balanced" lives, giving attention to each major area. If we devote too much time and energy to one area, the areas we have neglected will create problems for us.

The ancients used astrology and the twelve houses to catagorize our individual needs.
They are:

Ego and self
Money and possessions
Travel
Family
Romance and Love
Work
Partnership and marriage
The Occult and death
Higher Education and Law
Our public image
Our hopes, dreams and wishes
Our restrictions

My appologies to any astrologers for mistakes I might make in this. It is simply a map or grouping of life's major areas. We need to pay attention to each area in a balanced way if we want to be successful in life.

In addition to devoting time to each of these areas there are seven other personal areas to be developed.


The most obvious deals with our physical need to stay alive in physical bodies. This includes body awareness, awareness of the environment through the physical senses, our ability to live in the moment. It also deals with the ability to stay alive.

Our physical and etheric bodies require nutrition and exercise to remain strong and healthy. There is a requirement to "live in the present moment" and develop these needs to the fullest capacity. It is through aerobic exercise we develop our ability to manifest our dreams in physical reality.

We have our sexual needs and instinctual drive to perpetuate the human race through reproduction. This requires us to openly confront our sexual needs and interact with a partner in order to fulfill them. Repression of the sexual drive has caused death and perversion in the past. Feelings of guilt and shame have made something beautiful and sacred dirty and ugly. We need to cultivate healthy attitudes about sexuality by finding an appropriate partner.

Joy, laughter, music and creativity are emotions that make life rich and rewarding. These are feelings that make life worthwhile. Have we set aside time to play each day?


Follow the way of our heart. What do we stand for? What things are sacred and make us who we are. What concepts and values define us and how others to see us. We need to believe in who we are and what we stand for. We need to believe in ourselves and in our ability to achieve personal happiness.

In communicating with others we learn we are not alone in our experience. Our ability to learn from others and to learn from our own mistakes allows us to progress and develop in life. It's good to learn social skills and teach others what we know. Learn from others what we need as well.

We all have glimpses of insight that involve a "knowing" and percieving of "architypal" reality. It is through these intuitive "flashes" that our internal authority will reveal personal truth. These intuitive "flashes" will form our personal paradigm or view of reality if we have enough of them and trust in them.

It is our personal view of reality that determines our physical actions and how we attempt to fullfill our needs. We do what we think is right, even if it is wrong. The more we listen to our internal authority, the more we will do the right thing.

It helps to remember we are all brothers and sisters, common members of the human race. We can't hurt someone else without hurting ourselves. We are a part of the earth and what we do has purpose and is important.

Each and every day we should exercise our physical body, devote time to our primary relationships, play and have fun, do or read something inspiring. We can challenge our intellect by learning something new. Meditate and commune with our inner authority and lastly, reflect on the unity of all things and how each has it's own place and time.

Internal Authority vs. External Authority

The 1st concept to discuss is that anyone and everyone has it within themselves to find happiness by fullfilling their own individual needs. This means you are competent to fill your own needs and I am competent to fill my own needs. The spark of the divine is within our hearts and can guide us in the fulfillment of our needs if we will listen to it.

This spark of the divine has been called the Christ Spirit, God/dess of our hearts, the Master Within, our conscience or even the still small voice. It is an internal authority and not an external authority. The true path to mystic power and enlightenment is when we follow our "inner authority" above all others.

This inner authority knows and understands our "True Will" and reason for living in this lifetime. By being free to act according to our own true nature we will do what is best for ourselves and by doing the best for ourselve, we will at the same time benefit the rest of humanity. In becoming who we are truely meant to be, the entire world benefits. There is no need to conform to the demands of any "external authority".

We must be free to act according to our own nature. Turning to an external authority such as government or religion or the law to solve our problems and fulfill our needs will never work. We can't allow ourselves to be forced or intimidated by any external authority.

We must remain true to our own "Inner Self" at all cost. We must not give our power away to others. This is what it means to be an Anarchistic Knight. We have each made a personal choice to follow our own "inner authority" above all others.
