Self Awareness is Character Awareness


      Spend all your time in building character................ The building 
blocks of principles should be laid down firmly............... These building 
blocks will guide you toward God and your very own truth.............. Self 
discipline builds character........ Self discipline is the unending 
conversation between the ego and the Self............. Constant interrogation 
of one's ego gives one the profound answers in which truth alone 
prevails............. The truth derived from within makes one aware of the 
Self............... Self awareness leads to character awareness......... 

      One must have a strong resolve to honor the Self.............. and he 
must be able to bear with ease the sudden and subtle changes of 
time..................... The worldly tasks will continue.......... bringing to 
its gains and losses................

      But the man of character must embrace both equally, and turn in, both 
times to lean on the principles of truth and his nature of 
love............................ Every choice will bring with it, its 
responsibility..............  and every responsibility will bring with it, its 
pleasures and fears......................... but the man of character will 
accept both with equal fortitude and a mature understanding..................

      As goodness cannot be derived, character cannot be 
achieved!................ Goodness is spontaneous and character is the 
expression of that spontaneity............. The nature of the soul is "to 
be"...... and goodness is the" beingness"................... Goodness is the 
source of peace................ The good can accomplish any task and remain 
lighthearted.............. They give themselves fully and remain detached to 
the entire course of the work................. As long as they can connect with 
the peace within them, they continue the task without hesitation............... 
Whenever the stream of peace gets obstructed, they realize that they have in 
some way strayed from goodness................ It is then that they retreat to 
their Self and draw from it the wealth of  the principles............. Once 
again, the building blocks are laid down with a deeper resolve............. and 
with that, they return to the unfinished task with a character that is refined 
and rejuvenated............
