They are preoccupied at all times because they cannot focus their minds properly. They are driven here and driven there by their passions and fears or the intentions of others. They have no control over their mind, where it goes. The captain must have authority over the crew, or the crew will become chaotic and mutinous. But beyond that, it is you who must navigate the changing waters, the changing conditions, the storms and the hazards therein. It tells you the conditions of the world. Therefore, you cannot become passive and think the Great Authority is going to manage and direct all things, for this is not the case at all, you see. That is the job of the captain and the crew, you see. It is not navigating the waters day to day. For the Greater Authority is not managing the ship day to day. We give you this analogy so that you may look upon your life more objectively and not be submerged in your own thoughts and feelings to the degree to which you cannot see anything.įor the captain must be objective. You must be able to govern and manage the ship and also carry out the greater purpose for the ship so that it can be successful in its voyage in life. You must have a foot in both worlds, you see.
Without the greater purpose, well, the captain and its crew will not have a greater sense of purpose, and disorder will follow most assuredly.įor the captain to really be the captain, the captain must know the cargo and the destiny as well as all the variances of sailing the great seas of life. Your task is to carry out the mission that is assigned to this ship in these waters, in this world. If you do not direct this crew properly, it will become chaotic and disorderly, and everything will begin to become inefficient, and breakdown will follow.īeyond the captain, there is the Great Authority that gives the ship its purpose, its destiny, its cargo. It is even greater than your mind, for you are greater than your mind, for the mind is the crew. And their competence or incompetence will determine how far this vessel can go, what it can withstand in the winds and waves of the world and how well it can adapt to the presence of other ships and the hazards therein. Here you have a functional crew or a dysfunctional crew, a faithful crew or an unfaithful crew, a competent crew or an incompetent crew. Your crew are your thoughts and emotions, what the mind produces to direct the body. It is not a perfect thing, but it is capable of marvelous accomplishments if it is well maintained and properly directed. It requires many things to stay afloat and must be cared for very well indeed, or it can fail you on the high seas with disastrous results. It can sail the whole world if it has a wise captain and an able crew. Your body is the physical vessel, adapted to its environment, a marvelous instrument if it is guided properly. For there is great change upon the world, and the influences in your mental environment and physical environment are holding you back to a great degree.
Within this simple analogy, you can begin to see yourself more objectively, which is necessary now. And beyond the captain, you have the Authority that is directing the ship, giving it purpose, direction and a destiny. On this ship, you have the craft, you have the crew, and you have the captain.
