Notes on Peter Ragnar’s The Unveiled Mystery of Self- Mastery

This world matters, and you forge your own destiny (not chance, karma, bad luck, etc.)o You cannot trust those who do not love this life and seek mastery.

The Matrix of Creationo Thoughts mold the face. Your face is the sum of all the seeds of thought you produce.o Unclean Habits come from unclean thoughts.o You are the Lord of your universe! You are the causative factor!

The Lion’s Secreto Go towards your life’s path and the force of life will strengthen you.o Nature intentionally sorts the men and women of purpose from those who are aimless.o Your drive is your talent!o Add strength to strength, skill to skill, and you will become master of destiny and not a

servant to circumstance.o Thoughts of courage, ability, independence, and self-reliance crystallize into positive

actions. Actions repeated become habits.o You must master your thoughts.

A myth of onenesso We all share a common source, but we are dissimilar in physical manifestation.o Only the most able wins the prize.o You are Lord, Master, and Creator of your reality.o Self-ownership/Sovereignty is the result of cultivating seeds of might, perseverance, and

success. Chance or Choice?

o The Law of Cause and Effect – what you get is what you deserveo Time does not exist only occurrences do.o We are not beings subject to the whims of chance, instead we are all reflections of our

choices of thought.o You can and will choose your occurrences either with conscious control or

unconsciously.o The Law of Causation – your thoughts create a causation for your future.o Be mindful of your power of choice.o Choose mastery over servitude!

Developing an Iron Willo “I CAN, I WILL, I AM!”o In humans there are two types of stillness:

Those who are dead. Those who are so vibrantly alive that they appear still.

o Iron Will = the clarity of purpose + reason + repeated concentrated thoughto There is no free will except in the eyes of the delusional, only an iron will.o All suffering without purpose is merely striving after the wind.

o Nothing in the universe comes without a price. You MUST ACT!o The center of the iron will, must be calm. The mind must be dictating and directing the

iron will towards action.o A strong mind + strong will + strong purpose = Successo To thing own self be true!o Train your tongue and you train your will.

Train your tongue to only reveal what is real and avoid pollution from other s and the feats of others.

Chip away what is useless and embrace what is useful. Never be intimidated again

o There is no spirit/savior that is coming to rescue you from your own mind.o Do NOT be dependent.o Be your own sovereign. Rule yourself!

Physical Body Mind – must have a strong purpose Enjoy the rigors of discomfort to strengthen the mind and body. Be vigorous enough for the struggle. Your highest value must be life and the struggle to master it!

o Intimidation is only the desire for something you don’t yet deserve. The vigorous are never intimidated. Be Bold

Shame and guilt run hand in hand. Lose these and you will become bold and will not be intimidated ever!

The secret to mind powero A strong mind selects only the strongest thoughts to further fuel itselfo Have a clear purpose coupled with intention and courageousnesso The steady stream of energy is nerve force in action and motion.o Mind power is the exertion of intention among the sea of consciousness.o Exercise 1 to develop mind power:

Inhale with your belly expanding. Pause to feel the electricity accumulate at a spot 2 inches below the navel between the back and the belly (central balance point or Dan Tien)

Exhale and close the belly in and pull up with the belly. Feel the electricity below the navel.

Count the number 1 Repeat this exercise without any random thoughts. Start over if a random

thought arises and try to reach 100. This exercise is not meditation but a prelude and will silence your inner critic

and mind chatter which will help develop clarity.o Exercise 2 to develop mind power:

Assign a sound to each number 1 is “T” or “D” sound as in “Tie”

2 is “N” as in “Nee” 3 is “M” as in “Moe” 4 is “R” as in “Rye” 5 is “L” as in “Lie” 6 is “sh” as in “Shoe” 7 is “k” as in “Cow” 8 is “v” as in “Ivy” 9 is “b” as in “Bee” 10 is “z as in “Zoo”

Then repeat exercise one but use these sounds to count to 100, never repeating a sound. Ex: 22 would be “Ni-Nee”

Meditation – What it is and isn’to Eliminating the modifications of the mindo Gateway to higher forms of consciousness and pure consciousness (the power to master

destiny)o Mental Modifications

Clear Cognition – Logical thinking Can provide a useful approach to discerning mental modifications Consciousness + vibration must be united Diverts the mind from union with the infinite Rest the mind and the source for consciousness arises

False Perception Distortions which are mental perceptions of the viewers

Fantasy Mental drunkenness which makes mental progression impossible Delusions must be cast away

Memory Sow a memory and reap the consequences All corruptive memories must be set aside or de-emotionalized.

Sleep Unconsciousness which hides consciousness Practice catching yourself in a dream Spending a few minutes aware during sleep results in enlightenment

o Meditation – helps you more fully experience this life and develops mastery or effortless excellence ; also a remedy to thought addiction

o Unwarranted thoughts are actually not thinking at all. Instead you are the one being thought about.

Contradictions and how they Sabotage Successo You ARE qualified to conquer even deatho You must trust your mind and who you’re programming yourself to be.

o Consciousness is the greatest value and is a choice; preserving your life should be an ultimate goal.

When you already believe that everything you want can be achieved in the next life then the incentive for success is sabotaged.

Lack of action is the worst action You will be in an adversarial position if you hide in the “beyond” (afterlife) Make your own reality instead of living in self-doubt When goals are relinquished life is extinguished. Never repudiate the value of your body. You cannot act if you do not think. You cannot think if you distrust the process. Happiness is an effect and a result of being appropriate to life when

consciousness expands and the present is appreciated Never believe fate has robbed you of choice. Individual vs the Collective – you must choose to be the Individual!

In what area(s) of my life do I feel out of control? Do I rely on others to make my decisions or give me permission to act? Do I feel capable of running my life? Do I trust my own mind?

arrested when directed to clear and definable goals Eliminate a poor self-concept that harbors victim consciousness by overcoming

it with implicit trust in your abilities The drive for self-preservation must be so strong that you arrest the source and

transform the force. A life free of guilt and blame and knowing what is in your control leads to

success and can eliminate anger Life by design

o Live your life by your own design.o The happiness of others must not be your chief aim in life. Happiness is an effect of self-

fulfillment. It’s an impossibility to create happiness for others. You don’t get involved in living someone else’s life for them. Don’t give up your freedom for slavery. Make life your highest value which

makes you the proper beneficiary. You are born free! Break the attachments with negative people Be authentic and real.
