TURNING WEAKNESS INTO STRENGTH
Turning weakness into Strength
Success is the natural course of life. Nature wants to grow, expand and is constantly moving towards cleansing and creating. We can work together with nature in a conscious evolved state cooperating with God to clean out our thoughts of lack and weakness and replace it with thoughts and actions towards success. A mental motion of success.
Staying conscious of the energy in the human mind that forms habit patterns of weakness that if left unchecked, controls us, causing us to feel we have no power to overcome thoughts of overeating, overdrinking, procrastination and self defeating behavior.
All the therapies and solutions that we have been given by our social structure to help over come our weakness has proven that NOTHING is as effective as a FACE to FACE confrontation between the power of the weakness energy or self-defeating mental energy that is holding back your success and the God-Power of the UNIVERSE in your mind.
You can achieve mastery over ANY weakness in your mind!
Direct Confrontation is a metaphysical science technique that will overcome your weakness right NOW if you use this technique daily until your weakness has been eliminated from your mind on all levels.
Weaknesses are unevolved habit patterns of mental energy within the subconscious mind that surface to one’s conscious mental activity in an attempt to control one’s mind and nervous system.
Make sure that you re-read this lesson every day for at least seven days remembering that the weakness energy occupying your mind is temporal and it will pass given time and through confrontation you cause that evolution to take place NOW.
A positive mental attitude about the confrontation will assure your success.
If you are to completely succeed
- You must REALLY want to change
- You must REALLY want to succeed and be happy
- You must TRULY believe that no temporal energy of your mind can stand up to the eternal energy of the God-Power at the center of your mind.
You CAN do it! RIGHT NOW!
This confrontation power technique is the unlimited healing, transforming, eternally present primal energy power “centered” in your mind that has ALL-Power to directly confront and eliminate the hold of negative weakness energies from your subconscious.
Whenever any weakness energy enters your mind, call within to the universal God Center of your mind which contains the power presence of the universe. Look at yourself in the mirror or talk to yourself just like you would if you were confronting another person and say the following confrontation affirmation.
Examples:
Self-doubt
The God–Power within me is greater than the power of self-doubt within me. I yield my mind and body to the God-Power within. The God-Power within me gives me the peace and power to get up, go out, travel to, and have this interview. (or make this decision, or ask for what I want)
Overeating
The God-Power within me is greater than the power causing me to overeat. The God-Power within me brings peace to my mind and body.
As you use the confrontation affirmation, think thaink and FEEL the greater power taking over your mind. FEEL this until you no longer feel any influence whatsoever from the weakness energy of your mind.
When this happens say the following…
I give thanks to the God-Power of my mind for giving me Self-Mastery.

Mystic Way
Socialogist and author, Andrew Greely, calls America, a nation of closet mystics. In the last decade, we have started coming out of the closet. Movies have been created about angels,life after death and the presence of a Universal Intelligence. Many people define an interest in such things as New Age when actually mystical experiences are more old age as reports exist from thousands of years ago.
Mystics, not theologians who are people studying religions, have been aware of a concept called SECOND SIGHT. Most religious leaders were simply satisfied with knowing this possibility exists, they did not take the steps necessary to apply this to the improvement of their own lives.
Second sight is defined as your mind seeing into itself. In Eastern practices, this is also known as the “THIRD EYE” or also called the eye of the SOUL. This third eye is said to be located between your two eyes. When one practices meditation in this way, some of the following might be experienced. Know that experiences will vary between individuals.
Individuals who meditate regularly may see:
- Cloud like formations of different colors
- Images of things, either flat or three dimensional, or an inner light.
Suggested methods for making contact with Universal Intelligence is through the consistent practice and application of meditation. The type of meditation where an attempt is made to make conscious contact with the Source of energy that makes worlds.
We have barely touched the surface of understanding this process. If you have an interest in meditation, many books are written on the topic and we will continue to discuss more of what can be experienced in future posts.
Joan Borysenko says.” There are moments in life that are watersheds, points of no return, when ones view of the cosmos is forever changed…. Experiencing life as a precious gift enables us to grow in love and wisdom.”
The deaths of both of my parents at an early age led to a long overdue daily practice of meditation. This coupled with a deepening of my understanding of life’s mysteries through books which are now complimented with a circle of like minded friends brought me to that incredible point of no return.
” A mystic sees beyond the illusion of separateness into the intricate web of life in which all things are expressions of a single Whole, You can call this web God, Universal Intelligence, Source, the Tao, the Great Spirit, the Infinite Mystery, but in can only be known as true love.”Joan Borysenko
” I was in a state of quiet, almost passive enjoyment, not actually thinking, but letting ideas, images and emotions flow of themselves, as if it were through my mind. All at once I found myself wrapped in a flame colored cloud…there came upon me a sense of exultation, of immense joyousness immediately accompanied by intellectual illumination impossible to describe…I saw the Universe as composed of a living Presence…that the cosmic order is such that works together for the good of all things…that view or may I say consciousness has never even during periods of deepest depression, been lost.”
Richard Bucke, Cosmic Consciousness, 1873

Application of Modern Mysticism
Have you ever learned something and then never taken the action to apply what you learned to your life? There is an entire world that opens up to you as you study each new subject. If you sign up for a cooking class, you learn about new tools and new terminology and new skills. If one pursues an art class, the same is true. For over forty one years, my interest has been in the area of metaphysics. What is in life beyond our physical body? What is that energy that creates worlds?
My discovery lead me to a body of work to study called mysticism. Mysticism is described as the absolute power available to human beings. As you begin taking steps down this path of study, what begins to unravel are life’s deepest mysteries. It is as though you have walked into a classroom of the greatest minds who ever lived. However, no matter how much you study or how much you learn, it will make no difference in improving the quality of your life or the lives of others unless you can take the necessary steps to apply this knowledge.
If there is a Higher Power that can perform miracles in each of our lives then why don’t we apply this knowledge therefore demonstrating it?
In today’s society, mysticism is a much abused word. Put simply, it represents one’s highest quest of human growth and awareness. It wakes one up to the potential inside oneself. Many place other practices within this same category which can include tarot cards, fortune telling, crystal gazing to tea leaf reading. It is not these things, it does however include the following;
- discovering the nature of reality within the relationships of man-woman, mind, and the Universe.
- discovering and confirming the presence of a Universal Intelligence that resides within the deep levels of the human mind,
- making direct contact with this Universal Intelligence,
- experiencing this presence, to know Universal Intelligence exist and can be contacted,
- applying the creativity, and power of the Universal Intelligence to improve life,
- intuitively be guided in all of life’s endeavors
As you begin to study mysticism, a whole new world opens up to you with a far greater understanding of your potential and yourself. Modern books that discuss spiritual laws which include the Secret, The Law of Attraction and many others are based on an understanding of how to use these ancient truths in ways that can benefit one’s life and the lives of others.
“ The Mystic path is sunny. It is the way of genuine enthusiasm and lasting cheerfulness. So much awaits you. We finally learn why things happen to us as they do, which places us in control of our fortunes. Fear and tension vanish once and for all. No person and no circumstance can disturb our inner peace. “
“You, the reader, possess great capacities for miraculous self enrichment. You need only exercise these powers as best you can.”
