The Breath of Life Is Not a Practice. It Is a Takeover.

"Stride from Breath to Breath Rather than Thought to Thought."

From The Ministry of Mental Focus | BAS Official Dispatch 

🫁 You don’t cause problems — and you don’t wander into them. You have no obstacles beyond your ability.

That which breathes for you when you are not breathing for yourself is the root of it all —The cause, the sufferer, the repeated offender.

We are not meant to let our Will be buried so deep that we no longer even operate the Body’s most basic systems.

If you’re not breathing manually —If you’re not daily training in the habit of taking Breath out of the Body’s hands and into your own Authority and control —Then you are being denied full access to the other wonders that marvelous brain of yours has to offer.

Until you take Breath into the hands of your own Will, you’re just riding helplessly in the Body, while your Body’s Imagination compels you through your day, pretending to be you —afraid someone will see through the charade and spot “your” weakness and vulnerability —Which belong entirely to that which breathes for you when you do not breathe for yourself.

That thing —that which automates breath —Is all up in your Mind, Habits, Thoughts, Emotions —In the PAINFUL, chaotic, never-ending stream of daily thought it produces.

It WHINES. It complains. It gets offended. It daydreams of regaining status in others' eyes. It panics. It compares. It fears. It rushes and races "before you miss out"...on more of the same.

🧠 Your job is to read the input —Not to step down from the Throne of Self-Command to crawl before every thought, falling into it like a slave, forgetting.

🛡️ The Breath of Life wakes the Rider — the Pilot.

That which can take Breath out of the Body’s hands — taking that responsibility into its own useful control — Is that which can build the life you want, without struggle, without fighting, and without so much worry.

The Body is a BLIND MECHANISM —It does not know what to do with the World it encounters.

The eyes of the Body do not see, they receive. 

But the Rider —That which has the Power to control Breath —KNOWS what it sees, what is received and sensed, KNOWS what to do, and always sees a clear path.

Your Imagination, meanwhile, only spins stories and dramatics and can never resolve your problems without more struggle...And more error.

🌬️ So stride through your dayNot from Thought to Thought —But from Breath to Breath.

You will learn, quite naturally, how to see through the wiles of every facet of your Imagination —Its tricks, its limitations, Its inattentiveness, its fears, Its desperation to be approved, and most of all...

❌ Its WEAKNESS 🌀 FOR DISTRACTION.
