An Internal Inventory

The inventory is an important part of Stalking. It's like a complete download of all our beliefs and agreements. Once we know what's in our minds, we can choose what's working for us and what's not. Then we can re-program ourselves to behave calmly, with kindness, compassion, and love. We will not be driven to create life in ways that sabotage ourselves, or that set ourselves up to fail or to be hurt by others. This is because we will no longer be possessed by all those agreements we made when we were young, which have caused us to see the world in such a distorted way. Since we are only in control of what we do or think, it would be more accurate to say that this is mastery of our own mind, rather than the mind being the master of us! (Now that's a switch worth looking forward to.) When a Warrior has taken a complete inventory of her mind, she is in a position of to seeing the non-truth of her human concepts. Then she can make the choice to either continue to be attached to what she believes, investing her personal power in maintaining that illusionary structure, or she can detach from it totally and be free. In life we are always adding information to our inventory. The mind is a very fragile entity, and in order to keep itself safe and intact it carefully chooses which things to add to the inventory and which things to ditch. If someone says something to us that does not match what we believe, we discard it. If the information fits into our inventory, we agree with it and download it into our program. We have all had the experience of someone trying to put something into our inventory that we don't agree with. This immediately upsets us and we start defending our point of view and rejecting the other person'stheirs. Their information is shaking the foundation of our inventory, and that is very frightening to the mind. To be free, a Warrior slowly and gently adds truth and love-based information to his inventory (which can be quite contrary to what is currently in his program). This acts as a "good" virus, transforming his programming and breaking his fixation on his own mind without upsetting the mind too much. The key is to break the inventory without hurting our mind or losing our marbles.
