Being a Master means being in CONSCIOUS SOULFUL CONTROL of yourself. DETACHMENT from the personal desires is the means to accomplish this control, because it is the Soul that is in control (not the Ego). Detachment is a quality of the inner OBSERVER – a component that acts as a bridge between the lower and higher aspects of us. The Soul guides with wisdom – to the human personality this feels as “detachment”. The Soul always allows the personality to have PREFERENCE on directions and experiences – and the balance of this personal preference (while being detached from the outcome) and the Soul’s guidance is Self-Mastery.

Self-Mastery can be mistaken with the Ego overriding your negative emotions and beliefs, “acting good”; or with an avoidance of living life. When one tries to “be good” through the Ego personality, one in fact becomes controlling – a form of separation through superiority of power. When one attempts detachment before one actually builds a strong Inner Authority, one is simply ESCAPING life, while pretending to be detached.

The state of Self-Mastery is about stepping into the Creator – the mirror of the God Source within us. In Soulful Mastery we GIVE meaning to our beliefs, thoughts, feelings and actions (instead of searching for meaning on the outside). Forever seeking meaning/purpose/destiny is a state of avoidance of being the Soul-Self creator. The ability to generate Soul-resonated meaning is a sign of Self-Mastery.
