You stop viewing yourself as being "pushed around" by the world when you realize that only you can "push" yourself. To quote Buddha: "Nothing is upsetting you. You get upset because you are upsettable."

I am constantly aware of which of the Seven Centres of Consciousness I am using and I feel my energy, perceptiveness, love and inner peace growing as I open all of the centres of consciousness.

It is only your mental habits and your selected memories of how you think things are that keep you from moulding things in your life in a more harmonious way.

Conscious people always have a choice of whether to try to modify the actions of people around them or to change their response to the incoming stimuli.

Happiness happens when your consciousness is not dominated by addictions and demands - and you experience life as a parade of preferences.

Serenity is the end - and serenity is also the means - by which you live effectively.

We see things not as they are, but as we are. Your addictions distort how you process the enormous flow of information that is constantly flooding in through all of your sensory inputs.
