60. Psychic Vampires

Beware the psychic vampires: “Listen carefully to people’s comments. Don’t accept them at face value, go behind to the intention. Evaluate it. If it comes from a place of black negativity, you may be linked into a psychic vampire. Psychic vampires seek to destroy enthusiasm and energy in others. They are those people who are always putting you down or telling you that you are not good enough. Learn to recognise them. Disengage and don’t let those comments into your head.” - Veronica Canning

59. Discipline and Responsibility.

As you grow, you are learning to become more and more disciplined. Ultimately, all your discipline comes from within. You will learn to take care of yourself, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and materially. This involves the practices of good hygiene, meditation, martial arts, exercise, diet, study, investing and saving. Disciplines like these can be fun, rewarding and exhilirating. They help to give you control over your life. Acquiring these disciplines and embodying them is about taking responsibility for your own life.

58. Controlling Your Destiny.

The world is a place too full of miracles for you to waste your time by being angry. You want to be in control of your destiny by learning to think in peaceful ways.

57. A poem about not fighting

Let dogs delight to bark and bite
For God hath made them so.
Let bears and lions growl and fight
For 'tis their nature too.

But children, you should never let
Such angry passions rise.
Your little hands were never made
To tear each others' eyes.

Isaac Watts (1715)

56. Becoming a No-Limit Person

The way to become a No-Limit person is by use of your mind. You need to evolve from being a high anger and manipulating being to be a person of high levels of peace and no anger. The stages are through mobilisation and non-offensive expression. A very important aspect of non-offensive expression is non-agitative speech (anudwega wachana in Sanskrit) This is speech that does not cause agitation. It is said to be one of the Treasures of the Godly.

55. Choosing Peace

All participation in rows and fights is a choice. When you find yourself in a row you should remember this. You then have the choice to simply stop. Remember to stay rational. It will be very difficult for the opposition to row with you although it may infuriate them to the point of offering you violence. Good humour will often diffuse the situation. Keep training in your Martial Art just in case good humour doesn't work. Practice remaining calm and composed. Remember that the behaviour of others belongs to them and cannot upset you unless you allow it to.
