A Disciple

A disciple is a person who must be very careful not to fall into self- deception.

We must not deceive ourselves because if we do not deceive ourselves, no one can deceive us. We are deceived only because of our own self- deception.

A disciple must be aware of facts- facts about his physical, emotional, and mental nature. He must check himself to see if he is speaking the truth.

Check your writings, and find out if you are writing something which you really know. When you are talking, check yourself to see whether you are hallucinating or whether you are talking about the real facts that you know. If anyone is talking to you, do not swallow his words like pills. Check them; test them; use discrimination.

A disciple is an awake person. When he goes to the market, he does not follow post hypnotic suggestions planted in his mind through advertisement. He knows exactly what to buy and why to buy it. If your life is based upon unreality, you cannot be a disciple. You cannot improve anything in the world if you are unaware of facts.

By the law of attraction, as you compete you will attract many people, circumstances & events to compete against you in every single aspect of your life. For your own well being, you have to get competition out of your mind & become a creative mind. ... *Focus only on your dreams, your vision & being the best that you can be...!* Praising & blessing dissolves all negativity, so praise and bless your enemies.... ... If you curse your enemies, the curse will come back to harm you. If you praise & bless them, you will dissolve all negativity and discord, and the love of the praising and blessings will return to you... ... *As you praise and bless, you will feel yourself shift into a new frequenc...
