Self-Mastery: Metamorphosis, Self-Creation, and the Art of Becoming
The true meaning of what we call self-mastery is our ability to master
our own nature and resume conscious control over our higher capacities
for creating ourselves. The fact is we’re always in the process of
creating ourselves in every moment based on what we enter into
relationship with, blend with energetically, and become like in nature.
The mind, like the body, is comprised of vibrating essence that’s
undergoing a constant process of metamorphosis by exchanging subtle
energy with everything around it. The mind is a combination of both
spirit and matter, and while it coagulates into temporary forms and
becomes somewhat fixed and habitual in nature, it still remains in a
constant flux and flow within the same fixed patterns and tendencies.
The mind is what constitutes the inner nature and essence of form, and
is what gives it its character and personality that determines how it
functions and behaves, and what type of stories it naturally
participates in . . .
