New threshold

What the ocean nymph has been doing these last few years with the theology and Christian focus is demonstrating the transition from the #4 Man level to the #5 Man level. Prayer and fasting are the reins of volition (the control) of higher emotional energy, or, higher energy in general.

You have to be a real Christian. Otherwise if you develop higher than Man #4 level you'll be evil like the Dali Lama, with dumb followers like Richard Gere.

Control of higher energy needs real will. Real will is God's will. This is a clear and plain statement. You need God's will to be able to control the levels of energy that higher centers work with. (To have command like a king of your inner being you need to recognize the command of the King above you.) Prayer is the connection. The reins. Reins are the means to control the horse. Fasting is something different, but it can be said that fasting creates a deeper, longer crucible of worship for prayer to fill. When fasting is necessary, and it surely is once a person begins to experience things only a #5 Man will encounter. But prayer is alot and works to control the emotional states (backlash) and difficult suprising events. If help is requested from God beforehand.

God wants you to know you can't do it without His will (and actually that is just a fact of how it all works). You also have to come into realization that you do it - you have this control - to glorify Him. You can accumulate energy in initial stages of learning all this, and go through the motions, the revolutions, of backlashes and events and you can even struggle in that and actually increase limits and develop level of being, and this is all the Work and necessary and is actually being in the #4 level...but: you can't get all the way; you can't get over the summit without God's will. Without God's help. Because you need real will, not self-will, to attain the level of higher centers. And real will is God's will.

The #5 Man level is characterized by control. Control of higher emotional energy. At the #4 Man level you can have use of higher energy, but it's not in your control. Everything is hit and miss and wild and often wildly out of control. But at the #5 level it's in your control. Only with real will - as opposed to self-will - can you have this control. And real will is from above. It is that connection to the Absolute II (to put it another way). Truly that connection. You have to want it. It's different. It's operating with God's will, as opposed to the more familiar operating with self-will. You can't say you want real will but sort of still think in terms of self-will. Self-will can only fail, but you have to learn this, over and over, before you see it. When you accumulate energy and you come to the same obstacles over and over and indulge the same negativity over and over you see that this is a problem. (You have to have really been doing this though. These are things you can only learn from experience, not reading this post.) The problem is solved by prayer. But prayer has to be real. Actually the problem is solved by having real will, but real will is God's will, and this is given by request in prayer. Knowing what you are asking for is a big part of it, but you've learned that by your previous efforts and failures. (Not that all #4 level work effort results in failures. It doesn't. It is what is supposed to happen. You DO increase level of being by degree in the #4 Man level. You just can't get to the summit and over the summit (the second conscious shock) without real will - God's will.)

All this Christian focus has demonstrated what is necessary for the transition from the #4 to the #5 level. Control of higher emotional energy is the #5 level. Control of higher intellectual energy is the #6. Making it permanent is the #7 crown level. The difference between the #5 and #6 levels is not as dramatic and radical as that between the #4 and #5. Once you attain the #5 level you have passed the major threshold where the #5,6,7 levels reside. The other major threshold is passing from the #1,2,3 level to the #4 level. Becoming a #4 Man is a radical threshold crossing. Becoming a #5 Man is a radical threshold crossing. But becoming a #6 Man is more like being a #1 Man and developing your #2 and #3 aspects. Not as radical a threshold crossing. More an effecting of a complete development at a general level. A filling out.

I'm as pumped up with accumulated higher energy as I've ever been in the past, and I have control of it as I've never had in the past. I know it's there because I've been doing the first conscious shock, first of all, for more days than the current work effort records, and because the energy shows itself in little micro bursts of heat and violence, violence of thought and mouth if nothing else. You know when it's in you. But none of that has snowballed to the least extent.

And there has been at least one "surprising, difficult event" sprung on me that I met in an unusually controlled way. A different 'me.' I can't describe it, but I recognize the type of event as a common trigger to set me off when I have accumulated energy in me. To give an idea of what I mean by control, there was no struggle. No self-conscious "I am maintaining control and composure here." None of that. There was a different person meeting the event in real time with a new wisdom (wisdom as also meaning action). My voice was different, and the words I used were different for me. They were "wise." I said: "Are you going to talk to me?" I was being ignored, blatantly. One of those typical event scenarios designed to get you to blow your lid. It was trivial (I was in a store scenario). I asked a simple question and was being ignored with a little bit of undisguised disdain. Trivial. But not when you're full of higher energy. So, I've never uttered such words before. They were totally disarming and the person had no defense. "Are you going to talk to me?" (You have to know this person, his common type, my history with him, believe it or not I actually have a history of run-ins with employees in stores.) But THAT moment, in THAT event there was NO blow up. And there was no internal resentment for that matter (I actually have enough control not to blow up externally at this point). There was no "I am struggling to remain calm and in control." There was just: some new, disarming words, delivered in a disarming way, accompanied by ... nothing happening. Which is good. I.e. no higher energy being wasted or used by lower centers in a negative way.

I specifically asked God for that. Days ago. And every day. For strength and inner command and wisdom for just such an event. For being able to be awake, or to have real will in just such an event.

This individual I'm talking about is a real button pusher. One of those employees who will set you up if you refuse to step into his traps. Like, for instance, he'll intentionally take a nice gesture you make towards him as if you are being impatient or something not so nice (if you know what I mean). But this is neither here nor there. I've exploded over even more trivial things. They just have to be difficult moments/events and suprising and to happen when you are full of accumulated energy.

I had my arms full of items in a grocery store (no cart for me!) and this guy was either opening up his register or closing it down, I couldn't tell, so I asked him. And he gave me the silent treatment. Something he always does. So I could have said: "Hey you fat, ugly motherfucker, are you open!!?" But I just delivered words that went straight into his brain that he had no defense against (because they were designed just for who he is and his type and all that): I said: "Are you going to talk to me?" Weird words coming out of my mouth. Weird words to say to a stranger/employee of a grocery store. Yet because he was engaged in an intimate drama with me based on a General Law script he knew there was a unique connection and he knew my words were not so strange in that respect. They were weird, but wise and effective.

The main point here is I have something new now. I have control of higher emotional energy. As long as I have the connection of prayer. Fasting will be new for me, when I find that I need it. Can't imagine what might cause a need for it. Maybe getting new functions. I'm thinking always in terms of being attacked by something, like a new level of attack by 80,000 devils with hellish machinery of war, but it could be for new functions or something like that. Something I need though.
