To master ourselves and reach consciousness we must stabilize our emotions, handle adversity, and set boundaries. Once we understand everything happens in the process of evolution, we enter a state of resilience. Life is designed to work from inner to outer. The conscious mind comes up with ideas. When the emotions get involved from the subconscious, it moves the molecules out of the environment; reshaping one's life. It is only when outside forces come into the conscious mind it's difficult to shape our destiny. It causes a mental illness called neurosis when the brain works unconsciously; the body goes off autopilot.
