I am the master of fate and the captain of my soul.
A lot of people blame their circumstance instead of acknowledging
that they have the capacity to take CONTROL. There are some however
who thought that they are in control but didn't realize that someone
or something is already controlling them There are some who become
masters after being taught by the greatest master of all, that which
comes from within ourselves. However, it is unfortunate, that there
are those who keeps on searching for the "greatest Master" and ends
up loosing themseves.
Belt masters. These are people who base their knowledge and skill on
a preconceived standard. Certain crafts requires a certain level of
skill. In Japan, when the samurais cease as a military offensive used
by the emperor, some of them become masters in tea ceremonies. There
are standards that are being taught for every samurai. There are
different kinds of preparing a tea, which in that time, they consider
as a noble act done side by side with their emperor whom they
consider as the Son of God. The comic relief in this situation is
that these people need not start figuring out how to master on their
own this art. There are already written scripts on how to accomplish
such. This sacred scripts are pass from one generation to another. I
believe that this is similar to how society is at the moment. We
never start from the beginning. We always presume that we know it all
because other people from the past has accepted such and such as the
inevitable reality. We cease from thinking. We cease from searching
knowledge within ourselves. We CHOSE to accept something although we
know, in our heart, that there is a better way of doing things.
Masters who have gain their masterships out of a preconceived
standard can not be consider as masters at all. They are SLAVEs. More
so, if they continue to follow something which does not work. What we
have right now in our society are a lot of blind people leading their
fellow blinds. Yes, we learn from our elders. Yes, we listen to
people. These is never wrong. What should not be the case is when we
follow them like robots. What is disheartening is when we LOOSE our
purpose because we continue to follow somehting which we does not
personally believes in.
Jedi Masters. These are people that learned through their own
experiences with the guidance of their own Mental Coaches. In
reality, we don't need teachers. We just need coaches. We already
know something, we just need someone who will allow us to remember
these things and use them in our daily lives. It is like swimming.
When we are still fetuses, we already swam in the womb of our
mothers. This is why it is easier for a one month old baby to learn
to float rather than a fouty year old person. The baby still
remembers what the environmet in his mother's womb that is why he can
float. While the fourty year old, already inhibited with Fear,
forgots all about his capacity and rememberes only his FAILURES. True
masters are those who know to use the POWER in them and to drive for
a particular PURPOSE. These are not those people who have just been
constantly reacting with what the other people are doing or what
they anticipate they will do.
Darth Vaders. These are people who chose to be the Master of all and
end up to be a master of none. These are those who CONTROL other
people using FORCE but have forgotten to take CONTROL of themselves.
It is still up to us as to what kind of Masters do we want to be…
