Breathe to control your life

I found a perfect and most useful analogy, out of practice and experience, that suits humans of all kinds. It is a fact that the human lungs are controlled by both voluntary and involuntary muscles. This is a very good analogy to understand when you are in control of your life, and when you are not. When you breathe consciously, you exercise the voluntary muscles, and you are in control of your life, consciously. When you breathe unconsciously, your body exercises the involuntary muscles, and your life is in control of you. This is a perfect demonstration of the soul's control over the body.

When your conscience breathes through your body, mind is the master, and the body the servant. The creator controls the creation. When you let go of this control by involuntary or unconscious breathing, your body is the master, and your mind the servant. Desire and anger take over. The creation overwhelms the creator.

I think I learnt another spiritual lesson, but I don't know if it is a law or not: Keep breathing consciously all your life, and you will never regret a moment of it. You will be in perfect control of your self, and through your self, your body, through your body, your immediate surroundings, through your surroundings, your world, and through your world, the world and the universe.

  1. I also observed that when someone is angry, the voluntary muscles are not exerted. This completely proves that anger makes you a control-freak.
