Well said Zulu. The only thing I would like to emphasize more is the importance of “resorting to the Source”.
The imperious self and its energy, which is opposite to celestial energy and is at work from within us by instinct, together with all the negative energies from outside of our selves, are working against our celestial part without any interruption. In order to be able to maintain control, we have to tap into a source of positive energy, THE DIVINE ENERGY. In the same way that negative energy is attacking us constantly, we need to connect to that source constantly. Only then will we be able to see, realize and fight back against that huge group of negative energies. This requires that, all the time, at any moment during our daily activities or inactivity, we create, or at least we try to create that connection with the divine and seek for help, so that we can stand up to the attacks of negative energies (from inside or form outside of our selves) and gradually become able to control opposite forces within us.
It is this challenge that enables us to grow and fulfill our duties in the university that this planet earth is (the need for the existence of negative energy becomes more obvious once we see that it results in our growth). It is a very long long process, but receiving Divine help through creating that connection and absorbing positive energy at all times (natural meditation if you like) is a must.

@Mat

You mentioned a very critical aspect of the spiritual journey: What counts is our effort, not the result. Some divine virtues take many lives to cultivate. I have also experienced some sense of being hopeless recently with regard to fighting against my imperious self. The most valuable lesson I learned is that I should only focus on my effort rather than the result. At certain times in our journey we just need to be patient and at the same time resort to the Source.

Thanks for the replies. I feel like I’m back to the step one with my imperious-self. The point is that it’s always there, never sleeps. I tried to set myself some practices like reading the related books and literature everyday, saying prayers on time, being patient in my everyday interactions (work, home), set goals for discipline and organization but at the end of the day when I look back to evaluate my day I finds shortcomings ( incomplete tasks, little bit of negativity here, little gossip there) indicating that it has been ruling me again.

To respond to Mat, I think if you know there is higher power and attention needs to be given to him, then we will be on the right track to enstill this character in ourselves with his help.

Mat, I think the first step is to get ourselves familiarized with the anatomy of this imperishable (celestial) part. As we learn what it is comprised of, we better understand what its needs are and how it manifests itself in our consciousness. When we incorporate activities in our routine that nourish it – the same way we do for our perishable part – it will grow healthier and become more prominent, and little by little we will feel its presence in our daily life. And hopefully this part will be in charge when we make our decisions.

Well defined and excellent analytic article on the subject matter. Denying or neglecting this dimension would defeat the purpose. One question arises, how do we remind ourselves of the existence of this imperishable part in the course of our everyday life?
