 “Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your
character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others
think you are.”-John Wooden

Self-Image is your perception of who you are, the thoughts you have
collected about your life. It is the most significant image in your Mind. Your
Self-Image states your nature and capabilities as a person or member of the
group in which you belong.

The ideas that build your Self-Image are the thoughts that guide the matter
and power in your Spirit/Energy. Of visual and verbal types of thinking,
know that Visualization forms your verbal ideas. What you verbalize about
yourself, about Man, about life, and so on represents your Self-Image. The
category of Self-Image, human or divine, you think you are, creates your
Self-Image, the chief controller of your Lifeforce.

Know the Human Self-Image

The Human Self-Image is the product of Man's three lower brains, the
Reptilian, Mammalian, and lower Neo Cortex. They are sources of emotional,
sensual, and illogical behavior. The three lower brains damage health and
generate faulty behaviors that destroy relationships and cause many
failures in life.

If your Self-Image is human, then the human being quality is its foundation.
That includes negative feelings about you being a born loser, worrywart, and
sensitive. The Human Self-Image limits your ability to know, to be, and to
achieve. It is the ultimate excuse for failure, suitable only for the early
stages of life.

Unfortunately, most people think they are human and have a Human Self-
Image. They do not realize that the word human comes from the Latin word
“humus,” meaning of the earth contrary to almost every Spiritual tradition
known. Most practices teach God made Man in Its image.

Because of a lack of successful human outcomes, the Human Self-Image

will limit you in overcoming life’s challenges. You think sometimes things
happen your way, and other times they do not. How often have you heard
the excuse for failure, “I’m only human?”

Know that the opponents of harmony with God’s Program are:

(1) Earthborn ideas

(2) Negative emotions
(3) Unchecked sensuality (out-of-control quest for pleasure)

117
These three things are the foundation of Human Self-Image.

Discover the Divine Self-Image

The Divine Self-Image is a Self-Image that uses Universal Truths as
premises for reasoning about everything in life. It represents Man’s godhood
as outlined in God’s Program and appeals to his or her Divine nature. Like
the Divine Spirit and Higher Mind components of Man’s Spirit/Energy, the
Divine Self-Image advocates Man is from God, begins life in the human
stage, and later develops to the Divine stage.

Of the many practices that helped the ancient Eastern elders to evolve, the
method of producing the Divine Self-Image was most important. It aimed to
elevate Man’s Consciousness from the Lifeforce and Lower Mind of his or
her Spirit/Energy to their Higher Mind and Divine Spirit. Raising
Consciousness is the foundation of aligning Man’s Spirit/Energy with God’s
Program.

When you use Universal Truths as premises for reasoning about everything
in your life, you establish the Divine Self-Image. That includes replacing
assumptions about yourself that came from the Human Self-Image with
premises that come from our “heavenly” Spiritual part of being. These
premises are the Universal Truths that live in the Divine Spirit component of
Man’s Spirit/Energy.

Using premises from Man's program means you perceive yourself with a
Human Self-Image, one that limits and is subject to suffering, error, and
domination by emotions and sensuality. Such an interpretation takes away
from your Lifeforce’s ability to manifest what you Desire.

Our Persona Image is what we call our personality. Our Self-Image

represents who we are. Because it is the container of our emotional and
sensual patterns, Talents, and way of thinking and acting, we function
through our Personality Image. The problem is that most people also believe
the Personality Image is their Self-Image. Make sure you maintain a
distinction between the two as you put in Spiritual work.

The source of Man's well-being, the Divine Self-Image, can only come into
effect through a systematic process that substitute’s Divine nature for
human nature. If you want to evolve to Divinity, God’s Program of Universal
Truths must replace current premises coming from the Human Self-Image.

Implanting the Divine Self-Image
Implanting the Divine Self-Image is the primary goal of this content. That
occurs when you replace the Human Self-Image based reasons for your
actions with God’s Program of Universal Truths. For this to occur you must
elevate your Consciousness from the lower Lifeforce component of your
Spirit/Energy to the higher Divine Spirit component.

This uplifting involves the use of Universal Truths to understand reality

better and regulate the needs of your Universal Desires. Uplifting also
demands intention to operate in the following sequence:

1. First, by Truth of Man 7-Pleasure and Creativity, as a visual thought

2. Then, by Truth of Man 8-Precedents to Guide and Expedite, as a
verbal thought (words of intended behavior) to activate the Lifeforce

As you put in the work, know that life challenges are pushing you to replace
the Human Self-Image with the Divine Self-Image. Establish the Divine Self-
Image in your Mind, and you eliminate doubt and strengthen your Will by
directing Spirit/Energy.

“As a Man thinks so goes, his life”, is a famous saying. The ideas that
describe what type of being you are make up the most potent types of
thoughts in our Minds. For example, an optimistic person will more likely
realize a goal than a pessimistic person aspiring for the same achievement.
As you implement the teachings in these sessions, you will become a 100%
optimist about your ability to evolve and achieve successful outcomes.
