Achieving Self Mastery

Ken Bartle

Self mastery is attainable, desirable, and exceedingly rewarding. The caveat is that to change oneself requires understanding the substance you wish to change, specifically your mental operating system – your entire conscious process. And that, thankfully, is far easier than those words suggest.

Epictetus

No man is free who is not master of himself.

From the beginning of my research, I sought to discover how consciousness could apply to an infant with no words, math, or science, equally to an elder with a lifetime of experience. Success exceeded my expectations. Nevertheless, no psychologist, psychiatrist, mental health practitioner, or neuroscientist seemingly knows more than “consciousness means awareness.” They claim our six higher faculties of the mind are intuition, imagination, perception, reason, will, and memory. Their abilities are said to set humanity apart from other animals, on the top of the creation chain, and reportedly, per the Bible, we are the (made) image of and likeness of the one who created us.

The problem, I found, was that mental scientists treat those faculties like balloons adrift in the air at a carnival. (Science is not subjective.) I wanted a solution, not a roadblock. I wanted to understand how those faculties function in unison and comprehend their substance and connection or interface with other faculties so I could fathom their wholesome communion, cooperation, process, and completion. I sought to grasp what self mastery truly requires.

I knew that countless people speak of raising our frequencies of vibrations, but none made sense because they don’t explain what consciousness is or how it works. That made no sense either. Eventually, my inquiries found nine higher faculties, fifty percent more than science recognises. I discovered that the conscious process, its sequence, orderliness, governing laws, and mental fuel are equivalent to nutritious food and a healthy body, and that made perfect sense to me. I found the beginning of the process, its checkpoints, and warning signals, plus green and red lights that signaled success or failure on completion.

Then I equated that string of events to a factory process: raw materials (reality) at one end, process, checkpoints, manufacture, and quality control, and ultimately, a shiny new product (different reality) having considerably more incredible value than I’d begun with. From that mental picture, I juggled my nine higher mental faculties until I saw that my (input) energy (fuel) would mastermind the whole mental process.

The result floored me. Not only had I found an infant bypass, especially for early learning, but I also found out our emotions are equal to red, orange, and green lights and that conscience is like quality control in a factory. I realised I had mastered myself and saw how others could do the same! Tears of compassion for humanity streamed for weeks. I saw exactly how self mastery is our born destiny.

I learned more as time passed, so I published my findings in books that are now available globally.

Altogether, that is great news because people now have an opportunity to learn (simplified) life-sustaining philosophy at primary school levels. And that prevents conscious nescience from ever developing. The same philosophical principles (later) delivered through college or universities spill over into all career choices and vocations, including jurisprudence (philosophy of law).

In short– nothing better exists for life than to govern ourselves according to the nature of what we are - not who we are. That, is self mastery!

Leonardo da Vinci

One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.
