Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 All states and emotions below the integrity level of 200 are due to the instinct of 'self' 'survival'! And, they exist because of 'ego' and ego's effort to defend and grow itself! It is only after crossing the Level 200 of " real " courage that person transcends the boundary of 'self' and gains the Power to travel beyond! Unless a person has done that the levels beyond 200 are Simply Unavailable to him/her. Little glimpses are possible but unless the 'boundary' of 'self' has been truly transcended through " real " courage; those glimpses simply remain " glimpses " ! In true sense, transcending the 'ego' means transcending the fear of death! It means that that the attached human organism is no longer interested in 'self' 'survival' ['self' 'growth'] alone! It means that the self survival is no longer the #1 priority of that human! In the social context such " courage " has emerged in the lives of someone like Mahatma Gandhi. In spiritual context, such courage has emerged in the lives of those like Ramana Maharshi! Such a person is no longer subject to compromises and manipulation and has gained the real Power of live the Life of Integrity! In many other lives such " power " of 'transcending ego' temporarily emerges in association with the " powerful " figures like Gandhi or Ramana Maharshi! Considering that the real courage means transcending the 'fear of death', it is not surprising that the 'breakthrough' to Peace, Love, Surrender/Acceptance and higher level in many lives have come through the moment of suicidal desperation! It has come when 'self' 'survival' was no longer the top priority! It has come when something [such as 'freedom', 'peace'] had become Far More Important than the survival of the 'self'! The ego centric instinct of 'self' 'survival' gets abandoned and as SHIFT to Higher Planes immediately occurrs! It is the Courage that Opens the doors to Higher Planes! And, the " real " courage doesn't take place as long the self survival is the #1 priority of a human! The real courage is spiritual as well as in 'social' context takes place only when something is considered Far More valuable, important and urgent than 'staying alive'! It takes place only when I am fully ready and willing to sacrifice " my " " life " if it became necessary! No one for whom 'self' 'survival' is the #1 priority can have real spiritual Power! No one for whom self survival is the #1 priority can lead a life of Integrity! Everyone for whom self survival is the #1 priority is subject to compromises and manipulation only the 'price' might vary! Only when one who is fully ready to die - is fully ready for Spiritual Evolution beyond beyond the boundary of *survival* *self*! The real Power comes only after passing the gateway of " real " Courage - because, such a person is no longer 'forced' to 'compromise'! Once a person has 'risen' above the 'instinct' of 'self survival' - he/she is no longer vulnerable to compromise! Social, political, religious laws as well as KARMA stop working on such a person because all these laws simply work by using the basic of self survival and emotions that these laws exploit are... fear, greed, shame, guilt, anger, hate and apathy all of which are based on 'self survival'! Thus, a person above the level of 'self survival' is no longer subject to these laws including the law of KARMA! Such a Person gains Power to live his/her life inside out whereas a person below " real " courage is forced to live his life Outside In i.e. as 'forced', 'dictated' by external circumstances! Only after passing through the gateway of " real " courage a person gains power to Fully Be Self! Only after passing this Critical Point of Courage the " real " spiritual dimension emerges in a life! Without that, though " spiritual " glimpses, 'satoris', temporary Samadhi are possible - for most part, such a person is still forced to live his life below the level of 200 and being 'forced' by fear, greed/desire, hate/rage, guilt/blame, disappointment and suffering! > > > > Positive Levels > > ================ > > > > Enlightenment (700-1000) <= Peace(600) > > <= Joy (540) <= Love (500) <= Reason (400) > > <= Acceptance (350) <= Willingness (310) > > <= Neutrality (250) <= Courage (200) > > > > > > > > Negative Levels > > ================ > > > > Pride (175) => Anger (150) => Desire(125) > > => Fear (100) => Grief (75) => Apathy (50) > > => Guilt (30) => Shame (20) > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Courage is the Highest emotion available to humans; everything beyond that is divine! ~ You can realize your divine essence; only when you are fully willing to let go of your human! ~ After you have FULLY transcended the Critical Point of Courage and your thoughts, emotions and actions are no longer driven by the instinct of 'self' 'survival' and 'self' 'growth' alone - the journey to Higher Plane becomes effortless, natural and automatic! Divine Realm of Peace, Joy and Love not only become available to you but, it becomes your de facto abiding place! From the 'destiny' of 'being created' [by external circumstances]; you truly gain the ability to " create " ! You truly become one with the God - the Joyous, Loving, effortless, Silent, " creative " Power of the Universe! You do simply by your presence! You ACT simply by being yourself! And, you change and transform simply by remaining SAME - the Self! You become someone like Ramana, Gandhi - and, people gets 'transformed' simply by coming into presence without you having to 'do' anything or having to say a word! Your Life becomes a Great Teaching and your Presence the Great Teacher! The humans take inspiration from you and without doing anything you become a Catalyst of Change! This is when true power becomes available to you as you " do " simply by being yourself and without 'doing' anything! Your Power starts becoming Infinite as it doesn't exhaust itself in any 'doing'! It is Simply Present and its mere presence causes everything else to " work " accordingly! Your duty TRULY becomes to remain your Self! And, you realize that there is indeed nothing more effortless, Joyous as well as Loving, Peaceful and Powerful than being your Self! The Journey of True Love begins once the Critical Point of Courage is crossed and it just keeps intensifying and gaining More Power as the travel Upward Continues!
