KIT 109 - Personal Development as a Catalyst for Achievement

Upgrading existential conditions is more fulfilling than simply
enjoying them. Facing the challenge to achieve this arouses
dormant human faculties. Therefore, the imperative is to upgrade
our personal idiosyncrasies. The clue is in matching our
personality features with our objectives: envisioning the way
circumstances could be improved triggers off envisioning how we
ourselves could be.   If we overlook the importance of our
personal growth, we get inveigled into the thirst for our own
personal well-being, oblivious to the well-being of our kin-
sometimes at their cost-and wallowing in our personal
aggrandizement. The price we pay is a defilement of our own
personality, sometimes burnout and disenchantment, and sometimes a
disinterest in undauntedly upgrading our product.

Creativity is only fulfilling if it is meaningful for humanity.
Hence the challenge of updating our creativity calls for the
upgrade of our personal qualities and the creative upgrading of
our qualities has the effect of upgrading our contribution to the
progress of the world in which we live.   How can we work
creatively with ourselves to unfurl our personal potentials?

The skill is in enlisting the bounty of the universe, invested in
our being, while customizing it in our own unique way. The clue is
in continually being aware of our relationship with the Universe
as a living being, rather than being encapsulated in our personal
vantagepoint and identity. The Sufis call this God consciousness.
It is enlisting the knowledge that the Universe acquires of itself
through the knowledge that we have of it by arousing its
archetypal qualities as the features of our personality, and
applying these to foster creative action. By our enchantment and
bewondering at the marvel of life, we are moved to project a
personal representation of what we imagine God to be into a
virtual space. To proceed thus, we arouse the very qualities we
ascribe to God, which are lying in wait in our being, and even
upgrade them by modeling them on visions of cosmic superlatives.

What are these archetypal qualities thus homonized? They are
splendor, nobility, authenticity, mastery, love, joy, radiance,
serenity and many more. Thus can we translate these into objects,
circumstances, behavior, demeanor, the countenance transpiring
through the appearance of our human masks, the reality concealed
behind our divisive role-playing, the meaningfulness disclosing
itself from behind our mind's ponderous explorations.

A passion for achievement! A passion for embodying in ourselves
that miracle that is the universe (God)! A passion for the 'aha'
breakthrough of awakening to ever more perplexing realizations!
The pull of the future is stronger than the push of the past if we
stalk it, but the future is not already there. It is inherent in
an infinite host of inexhaustible possibilities. We create it by
imagining how circumstances and ourselves might be if they would
be as they is inherent in an infinite host of inexhaustible
possibilities. We create it by imagining how circumstances and
ourselves might be if they would be as they could be.
