Truth is power, there is no difference

Being [genuine, real, truthful] carries and exudes power.

Being your self is the most powerful way to live in.

The more one is in truth, the more powerful one is.

Truth is synonymous with power.

When constructing an artifice,
It is inherently less secure and less powerful,
Because it is made up and has to withstand the pressure of truth pushing from behind it.

The back-pressure of truth constantly threatens its annihilation.

The person has to become tense and then pinch off the truth flow,

And a sudden addition of tenseness/control/holding back can be then easily seen.

Because it is hard to suppress the flow of truth,
Which pressures/pushes/and constantly threatens the selective blockade that the controller has created.

So the tenseness/contraction then must be continuously held and maintained.

So the moral is,
Dismantle your false dams,
And let the truth destroy them,
And be free.
Let your self (which is the dam) be destroyed by truth,
And then one no longer is, and the truth alone remains.

Living by principle vs vision

To give an example:

In principle: "A 1000 mile journey starts with the first step and then the next and the next..."

But a person thinking from the vision point of view will be like: "A 1000 mile journey will take you forever, it would take you 100s of days, and you'd have to deal with these terrains, climates, nights to be spent in these places etc." 

So the principle based person would say: "So what! just take each step and work out the problems as they come by, anyway this is the thing to do."

The vision person would be wondering: "Should I even attempt this journey at all, is there another way etc."

He would be trying to work out all the complexities, planning etc. while flipflopping in his decision to even travel or not.

***

I've seen people who live by principles do not get depressed.

Depression seems to belong to the vision based person.

Like in principle, there are 7.5B people on earth, and I have interacted with at most 1000 of them, and even among that the people at the moment most influencing me is less than 10.

So in principle, there are infinite possibilities for relationship.

But in vision one sees the actual realities, and how hard it is to really seek such a thing. 

Birth and Death process

Anger, Power, Powerlessness, Truth and Untruth.

All anger is from things happening the way you think/feel it should not happen.

It is a me vs. the universe.

One has to align themselves to the way and will of the universe.

There is simply no other way.

The level of anger depends on how much you are against.

Alternation between anger (force wasted) and depression (depleted energy).

Maybe that is why sg said: 

If you are angry you are stupid (because you are going against life, getting powerless in some way).

But this is a blanket oversimplification.

I guess anger is the aftermath of powerlessness. 

Because the experience of powerlessness is only after you push power and it also blows in your face.

Because if power is pushed into a circuit that receives it, it will pass through.

Something can look like anger, but it might work.

So the important thing is, did it work or not.

This is where it gets tricky because it can sort of work, but waste tons of energy,

So levels of anger is "different levels of inefficiency or impossibility/wastage" you could say.

I guess in maya you have collective fantasy and indiv fantasy.

The indiv fantasy be at odds with the collective fantasy, and get isolated.

But it is possible the real truth is more aligned to the indiv isolated fantasy than the collective fantasy which is far more deluded.

But the result will still be, the indiv with the isolated fantasy will suffer far more.

That is why in maya, the mantra is always, do it the way it works.

So then the reasoning would be, it is all a game of power.

I could have a million people connected to a 1A power outlet and 1 person connected to a 10millionA power outlet. That single person will be 10x more powerful than all the million ppl put together.

So power and powerless is about truth and untruth levels.

More the person is in truth, the more the power he will carry.

How much of untruth this can counter and manage depends upon how deeply he is channeling from truth.

Ultimately the one core wisdom that solves this issue is:

"To know what is in your control, 

And to know what is not in your control, 

And to know how much effort it would take to control anything,

And to know what effort is worth putting in for control."

Fundamental basic cyclic burdens of existence

FUNDAMENTAL BASIC CYCLIC BURDENS OF EXISTENCE:

***************************************************************************

ELEMENTALS:

********************

EARTH: Food -> Poo

WATER: 

Water -> Pee

Sexual desire -> Release

AIR: Breathing In -> Breathing out

FIRE:

# Activity/Expression(physical(1c), sexual(2c), verbalizing(3c/5c), perception(4c/6c)) -> Rest/Sleep

# Mental learning -> Dreams; Novelty -> Rest

# Temperature: Hot (Fan) -> Cold (Jacket/Blanket)

OTHERS:

*************

HEALTH: Health -> Sickness (not a cycle really but it appears to randomly happen)

OTHER NEEDS: Clothing, Territory/Shelter

BODY MAINTENANCE: Toe Nails, Finger Nails, Head Hair, Beard

Earth wash, Water wash, Wind wash, Fire wash.

RELATIONSHIP: At least one relationship to tune into (to harmonize the system).

Relationship <-> Alone time

*****************************************

This is the minimum it takes to live in this realm in this form.

These are the basic requirements of this virtual game which one cannot exit out of until its [time is over] or [transcended and mastered].

*****************************************  

The cycles freq and amplitude can be heightened or shortened:

# EARTH: If you eat more, you'll poo more

# WATER: 

If you drink more, you'll pee more

If you indulge in sexual desire projection and release more, then it increases freq.

# AIR: If you breathe in more, you'll breathe out more

# FIRE: More activity, then more rest; 

More the temperature variations, more the stimulation of metabolism.

Freq of Wash: Earth wash, Water wash (bath), Wind wash (fan), Fire wash

Freq of Hair and nail maintenance: Head hair, toe nails, finger nails, shaving.

Freq and amp of: Relationship vs Alone time.

Freq and amp of: 

* Travel/Novelty vs. Home/Familiarity

* Learning/Exploring vs. Assimilation/Integration. 

EXCRETION:

******************

AIR:

# Yawning = released gas from lungs to mouth

# Burping = releasing gas from stomach to mouth

# Farting = releasing gas from intestine to anus

FLUIDS/WATER:

# Spitting = releasing fluid from mouth itself

# Ejaculating = releasing fluid from prostate to urethra

# Pee = releasing fluid from bladder to urethra

# Diarrhea = releasing fluid from intestine to anus

# Vomiting = releasing fluid from stomach to mouth

# Sweating = releasing fluid from skin

# Puss = released from skin infected area.

SOLIDS/EARTH:

# Poo = releasing solid from intestine to anus

# Shedding skin cells, hair, nails.

Suffering cannot be shared IF

Suffering cannot be shared,

# Unless the other also includes their suffering in the same way as me,

And attends to it with the same interest as I do.

# Additional they must also take the other as a part of themselves in inclusion.

These are the 2 conditions.

If another person is violent/hostile and avoidant towards their suffering,

And if they also do not include the other in real empathy,

Then both the conditions are shot off, and its a double whammy in the negative direction.

Then they are going to inflict the same on you if you ever share about yours.

They are going to be dismissive/hostile/antagonistic/blaming/attacking towards it.

RULE: The way we treat ourselves is the way we treat others.

The 2 factors can be seen as:

# Attitude towards one's own suffering

# Attitude towards others 

The outer world enacts your desires

The outer world enacts your desires.

When another person complains about the things that you already find buggy,

Then your own complaint has been offloaded and you are free.

The aspect that the other represents/emanates, 

And the aspects that the other attends to,

And the aspects that the other expresses,

Means you can offload, delegate those things off your energies.
It frees you of those things in a sense.

For instance traveling with anir means,
I can turn off attention towards all the things he is doing.

But this also means, I would do a lot or almost all of that, if he were not there.

So when many people are there, they regulate the place and maintain greater sanity, taking my anxiety off of maintaining certain harmonies.

Similarly my presence would also be freeing them to be as mundane as they want.

Because I am immersed in those ethereal dimensions.
When someone takes up something fully,

It frees the others of that load, whatever that thing is.

So a good complementary relation would be:

# I do what I like to do and you don't like to do.

# You do what you like to do which I don't like to do.
If both are aware of the contribution of the other,

Then there is a mutual empathy too.

The projection of hate and need for isolation

Like Shunya said,

You are only projecting fantasies and people are responding with counter-projections to those.

So when in a state of emanating hate to others,

I isolate, because it will trigger those results to reflect,
Which will then multiply the source projection.

So my own projection multiplies itself in my experience via. others giving me a ton more of what I do not want.

The others are like a bunch of mirrors that will multiply my emanated light with 100s of reflections adding up.

I think there is a chemical basis for all of this.
There must be some base levels of neurotransmitters modulating the whole experience field.
So with chemical supplementation, the base mood itself can be changed, 
Which will result in different emanations from you, 
And will thereby mirror those emanations back to you,
Causing a whole different experience flavor to happen.

The control of all mood, is the control of "thought-energy/pran/electric charge-chemistry".
There is an inside out influence from: thought - charge - chemistry.
And there is an outside in influence from: chemistry - feel/charge - thought.

Here like sg said, the karmic-information/tendencies determines the mood/affects/quality of life.
Mastery over energies is capability powers, 
And mastery over time is mastery over death.
All is in how you hold the karmic information, not in the information itself.

It is the way you hold it, that is the only thing to work on.
There must be first transcendence of all the karmic info.
Then one has to dry the potatoes out by living them through.

So when alone, I keep this multiplication reflections factor off.

Whereas when you desire/like/love/cherish an other, then being with them gives you no fear, 

Because you see in them that which you project, that is reasons to like/love/cherish/desire them.
Even if they do not respond well to that, you still see those things in them, so in your experience, they are still sweet deeper inside.

That is why, when you can only see what you despise, that will multiply itself through every interaction.

It is all happening in one's own consciousness.

So even if the other reacts in a positive way, it will mitigate the original hate, but not remove it.

You would feel they are nice on the surface as a coverup but inside they are still wretched and terrible.

So the original self-hatred results in an other-hatred.

The original self-denial and self-abandonment results in the same towards others, other-denial and other-abandonment.
So if the self is entirely fixed, the projections will be entirely fixed too, then the stage has been set right.

In hatred, I want the others to disappear from my consciousness.

So the reflection is of them also wanting me out and avoiding me intensely.
So the whole thing sustains itself as a tension where I perceive others hating me and me hating them and then as a result they hating me further and then me hating them further, and so on.

A dynamic like that is set up.
It is the opposite of eros/bonding.
Where I see reasons to like someone else, 

And then in turn find reasons to like me further, 

And then I also take it further, and so on.

That is the opposite kind of dynamic.
The important thing is the root projection.

That is what straight away simply mirrors itself in one's experience.

Like if you believe cats are mean selfish self-centered self-absorbed manipulating creatures,
Then everything that the cat does will be seen in that light only.
If you see all systems of power as just a self-serving psychopathic enterprise, 
Then you would see everything in that light only.
All of reality perception will be modulated and warped to fulfill the premise.
It is interesting to wonder about whether this is a top-down or bottom-up process.
How did it all start and is there a causal chain?
Bad memories -> reinforce the belief that they are bad -> Further accumulation of bad memories -> further reinforcement.
It seems like all beliefs are self-fulfilling patterns once set into motion. 
They maintain themselves, eat their own food, and grow themselves.
And after a while these beliefs die too, when we start to feel bored with them,
And seek all kinds of information and evidence to the contrary to disprove them.
It is as if these beliefs live us, rather than we living those beliefs.
