We all know that we live in a world of duality where everything has a partner. There is black then there must be white, it is healthy and sick, it is good and bad, sorrow and joy, feel love or lose, understand or do not understand, and others. The two sides of reality are always attracting us to each other side, and give a sensation that is also ambiguous and returns us to duality at the mental level to next further cast us on the physical duality, again and again, in an endless cycle unless stopped by death. This strange phenomenon of duality is the competing of two supreme commanders in mind, that is faith and fear.
Then, who is the prime minister who has become the boss in our minds? Ego! The ego is our instrument as a human being in the third dimension we use as identity and protection.
The job is to limit and keep us from knowing who we are in the veiled experience of the third dimension of incarnation. If we know the term of “low self”, this is our current reality. The ego in charge of ensuring this low self-remains away from the aspects of our oversoul, for as a multidimensional self, when we enter into this body, we know that we will forget who we are as part of the experience of the existence of a lower dimension.
The prime minister is not who we really are. This is your self-image and not even the image others see. This is a mask of approval that always wants to be in control and always driven by fear. This ego is the party responsible for determining perception and sensation, not even allowing you to love ourselves to the fullest because it conceals our authenticity.
As we know that there shall not be two skippers on a ship, then we should also decide who may be the captain of our minds, faith or fear. If only we could choose and decide, life would be quite different.

I try to be the captain of my ship. To control myself.
I am sure of it, Elenka, and that’s great!!!
Faith and fear are at battle in our minds. Meditation is my survival guide in most cases.
Hopefully, your meditation can reconcile the two, and succeed to decide who the captain of the ship.
I go out in nature, ground myself, take my shoes off and feel the earth. Be alone, let the wind carry your negative energy away with it. Take time out for oneself, turn off the cell phone and just be..Try not to think about what others think. Still we are human.. This is the way of human nature right?
That is one of the ways to contemplate effectively, Kim. Just do it, and it’s better to stop thinking altogether at the certain moment.
