Self Discipline

Self control is beneficial in situations where one might think or feel or act (or a combination) as though the sun were always a lie, just because it got completely cloudy. Especially if such behavior is the chosen path of another person one is in contact with. Even more especially so if you're like me, sensitive and influenceable. In the act of allowing negativity to chaperone ones perspective, one becomes more likely to reflect it in their behavior. By making the decision to persue negativity, one creates a cause for cause and effect. The decision is the cause, where as the resulting behavior is the effect. 


This is important to be aware of to save oneself some negativity when pain becomes a factor due to "unforseen circumstances". Recognizing negative patterns in someone is the awareness one needs to have, to protect oneself from their bad behavior. It's all fun and games until misunderstanding reaches capacity, and violence take the situation by surprise/dismay.


All one can fairly expect is what one can do themself. Certain behavior may not always give expected results, and that's something important to keep in mind. Sparing ones self from other's drama will allow more room and focus towards decency. Acting decently isn't what decency is all about however. The action one takes is merely a part of something bigger than the self. For the sake of simplicity I break it down into phases of awareness and understanding.

To be comfortable is to experience objective decency. Such an idea may seem paradoxical, as the circumstances are objectively unique to each one experiencing comfortability. This is the first phase of awareness and understanding; it is the objective situation which ones senses pull spatial reason. Reliance on this leads to misconception and ignorance, as it is only a initial phase of awareness. It is the outer archetype among a system of deeper archetypes. It is the vanguard of awareness. One draws in information through the senses, thus ending the first phase of understanding reality.


-Story-


But as humans, we have more phases of understanding than the initial extraction of information through our senses. We can reflect this information on truth, and use discernment to figure out paths of decency. I use the word "can", because it is a choice phase. One may not be able to choose what the senses draw *from*, that is to say the color of paint, but one may still curve the brush and created the desired painting. Or if one is open enough for it, even find a unexpected/more desirable outcome. This is the substance which comprises the second phase of awareness and  understanding. It is a balance of desire and acceptance, and a discipline of maintaining that balance.

The next phase is a set of subconscious and unconscious patterns and activity. During this phase of awareness and understanding - ones propensity and 'heart' are established. The foundational elements which drive human desire are active in this phase, originally. To sense something into and through this phase means one has reached spiritual enlightenment. If not then one is still learning the discipline. Moral values, conscious important relationships with people and things, memories and dreams are all part of this phase. Ones awareness and understanding may be limited towards something, so one may feel the need to compensate by skipping straight from the first phase to this phase. However this phase is where the deepest understanding is found, and forcing it is VERY rarely a safe or helpful behavior. It is to ones detriment that they find this phase by forcing it, without going through the discipline of the former phases. It is an reactionary byproduct of impatience, and only goes to display ones personal negative attributes. It becomes like a joke that was taken too far for more than too long. So approaching this phase of awareness and understanding should be gradual, and through a path of acceptance rather than rejection.
