Ten Steps to Self-Fulfillment Step #9 The Law of Organization: The Fifth Mystical Law:

Organization and harmony are two aspects of the same whole. Whatever is harmonious is organized. Whatever is organized is harmonious.

Persons who are emotionally and mentally disturbed are out of harmony within themselves, out of harmony in their relationships to the outer world.

There are a couple of examples in the book showing the power of music. While music doesn't cure insanity, it helps provide a method of inner alignment so the individual can function as an integrated unit rather than as a collection of disorganized, separated parts. Order consists of two related aspects: 1. organization, 2. creativity.

Disorder is the condition for death, of careers, of reputations, of Self-Fulfillment. If you begin with the inner aspects, you focus your energy, your creativity, every talent and potential you possess, like the concentrated laser beam...and you toward your personal destination.

The starting point is your consciousness, the center of your awareness as a being, a Self. From that point you will proceed to the larger area of your consciousness which includes subconscious and superconscious elements.

In your consciousness right now there are four creative tools that offer you the potentials for becoming a master of your individual life. They are:

1. Thought,

2. Imagination,

3. Desire,

4. Intuition.

Intense thinking is self-satisfying, that it establishes order, that it harmonizes my life both inwardly and outwardly.

Imagination: Occasional controlled, practical "daydreaming" brings added facets of the thinking consciousness into play. It helps open the channels through which the superconsciousness expresses itself.

Desire is the focusing and energizing element. Without it neither thought nor imagination is truly effective.

Intuition: The acceptance of intuitive impulses brings the highest elements of your Self into activity. If there is one element of organization and creativity missing from most lives, it is intuition, a potential that grows stronger and more accurate with use.

If you will use the creative and organizing tools of thought, imagination, desire and intuition, in relation to the seven basic life forces (hunger,breath, metabolism, sex, consciousness, altruism & spiritual aspiration) you will progress rapidly from chaos to cosmos.

The elements of your life which should be organized are physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

THE PHYSICAL: Eat proper food, breathe properly, exercise intelligently, use the slant board technique and avoid excess.

THE EMOTIONAL: Exercise emotional control, express higher emotional qualities such as love and compassion, control yourself rather than others. Practice serenity. Avoid self-pity and self-condemnation.

THE MENTAL: Create a positive attitude, pursue intellectual interests, set goals and focus your thought processes upon them, strive for balance and stability in all things. Use the four creative tools previously described. Use your higher potentials such as intuition. avoid improper thoughts.

THE SPIRITUAL: Meditate, aspire, use affirmations, strive to activate your relation to the Infinite, bring the spiritual dimension into functional relationship with the material. avoid complete materiality, avoid being satisfied with only a superficial knowledge of your Self and spiritual matters.

MAKE A PLAN

Use Mr. Alfred Montapert's book "Success Planning Manual" , from Step #4, make your own using the following principles.

1. Put your plans on paper where you see them frequently.

Check off your goals as they are achieved.

2. Write out you plans for the day, week, month, for the year.

3. Include social, spiritual, travel, cultural, health, and personal

interests as well as vocation, business and financial plans.

4. Organize your plans under the various headings and for short

range, intermediate and long-range goals.

5. Break down long range plans for major goals into smaller

parts.

6. Review and upgrade your plans frequently.

7. Most important of all, set target dates for achieving your

goals and strive to meet them.

ORGANIZE YOUR ATTITUDE

One of the most important factors for bringing order out of chaos is the attitude with which you approach your vocation, your relationships with others, in fact every aspect of life.

Resistance and negativity entirely block or impede the flow of inspiration and creativity which would make the tasks much easier and far more successful. Every day in your life will be far more productive if you approach every aspect of it with controlled optimism instead of rampant pessimism.

The process for activating your inner kingdom of creativity is simple and can be stated in a three-part metaphysical formula:

1. Plant the seed thought in the magnetic field of your

consciousness...

2. Nourish it with affirmations, prayer, and other forms of

positive thinking and spiritual attunement...

3. Believe firmly in the harvest to come, and work steadily

toward it.

In its most basic sense, the mystical experience is almost synonymous with the discovery and realization of order and creativity. To have a deep sense of oneness with the Infinite is to focus your consciousness exclusively upon your connection with the Infinite in such a way that all the disorganized elements, of which chaos is composed of, are completely disregarded and their chaotic influence is nullified.

Creativity is reorganization into new and productive forms.

In the general area of human expression we have (1) science

(2) philosophy (3) the arts (4) religion. Where does mysticism enter the picture?

Science: While science does measure, observe, analyze and arrive at conclusions, the preceding stages of mental gymnastics which gave birth to these "testings" are more mystic than scientific.

Philosophy: If philosophy is to be regarded as an inner process whereby one delves into the essential nature of life....then philosophy becomes a mystical experience.

The Arts: Those who are intuitive become truly creative and unique in their field. They are mystics. Thus they are able to communicate something beyond ordinary words, pictures or movement...whatever their field of artistry involves.

Religion: "To Live" is your destiny. To live is to translate an inner experience into fruitful outer expression. The path of Self is opened, broadened and smoothed through mystical experiences which focus every inner element of your being in an orderly and creative manner---Self-Fulfillment.

As a mystical scientist you understand that life acts as an intermediary between mind and body. Mind can meet and conquer the forces and elements of life or nature and control them consciously, directing them to its purpose of perfection. Thus we may say that in reality, life is an outer manifestation of an inner divinity.

The more your mind dwells upon the qualities of strength, beauty, creativity, courage, realization of goals, noble ideas, spiritual qualities, and other positive attributes, the more vitalizing impetus you give the life force in you.

All is vibration, modified by consciousness.

The purpose of being in form in the first place is to learn how to use form. We cannot express as a creator outside of form until we have first learned to function as a creator within form.

VITALIZING BODY AND MIND

At this point we return to the four creative tools mentioned earlier in this section: thought, imagination, desire, intuition.

When you deliberately organize your efforts with these four creative tools you are being creative in the highest sense. When you are creative, you are fulfilling the highest potential of your Self.

THE SEVEN ASPECTS OF SELF-MASTERY

There are seven aspects of your being and your self-expression that, when seen as an organized unit, bring order out of chaos and greatly simplify the process of fulfilling your Self.

They are:

1. Moral These first two aspects, moral & ethical,

require adopting standards by which you

think and act. They require self-purification

2. Ethical and control at the point at which those

standards are met.

3. Physical The physical, requires the practice of

of temperance and your judgement of what

will or will not benefit your physical nature in

in the areas of food, exercise and breath.

4. Emotional This fourth aspect, the emotional, calls for self-

control.
