The Rise of the Chosen Ones. Joseph C. Parker
The planets are of equal importance to each other and are collectively necessary for the system to function in harmony.
Table 1 – The Chosen One's Dynamics Model
After you observe the overall model, you will discover that each element has subcomponents. The subcomponents are concepts to be understood or actions to take that expand your solar system and move you upward through the hierarchy of the chosen one's path. Each is a skill, habit, strategy, or thought process to be mastered during the journey toward your vision. As you learn, you may discover you are already strong in some areas and perhaps weak in others. This provides feedback to help you decide where best to apply your efforts.
As mentioned earlier, at the center of your solar system is your star, which indicates your belief in yourself. Note it is rarely possible to work solely and directly on belief in yourself to the exclusion of other solar system elements. Without the planets of your solar system to support your belief, there can be no progress towards goals, action, or obtainment. Becoming a master self-chosen one requires action. This is not something you can obtain from a mental or meditative state. Enlightenment of the mind must be mirrored into the world for completeness; moreover, the world needs the gifts you will bring forth.
To develop an unstoppable personal belief, you leverage the power of the planets in your solar system, but you begin with your star. To expand the belief inside your star, there are a few steps and it starts with choosing yourself for greatness. Then, you proceed to believe your dreams are possible for you, overcoming your fear walls, not caring what others think, expanding your self-concept, and then reprograming your subconscious mind. Belief in yourself must be mastered because low self-esteem can sabotage any dream or goal.
Your star is at the center of the model and larger than the other planets because of its importance in the process. It is true; you are who you believe you are, and you will receive what you think you deserve. Raising your belief in yourself is the key factor in all personal growth.
The planets in the model will manifest into the real world what you believe in your mind. There are six planets that revolve around the star of belief and we will explore them next.
The “Create Yourself” planet gives you the opportunity to create and recreate yourself. Your past does not define your future. Therefore, you can recreate yourself at any time. You do this by setting new goals, choosing values, and connecting with a higher purpose. As you pursue ever bigger goals, you are constantly renewing who you are and what you believe.
In the chapters that follow, you will be given a chance to redefine your values, learn to live for yourself and not others, improve your relationships, live more healthy, and decide what you want. Ultimately, you will identify and embrace your higher purpose.
The “Infinite Intelligence” planet is your door to accessing the superconscious because everything you need to know is already available in the universe once you get connected to it. By using meditation and clear thinking, you learn to access unlimited creativity and knowledge. Getting in touch with the feelings of obtaining your dreams is used to help make them possible. You will also learn to live with faith of positive outcomes rather than being controlled by fear of failure.
The “Habits” planet is devoted to developing effective and supportive habits and routines. These habits will make you outwardly focused, willing to be inconvenienced, become a true giver, and seek excellence instead of perfection. You will learn how to remove distractions, take time for yourself, stop making up stories, overcome the comfort zone, have fun, and exercise along the way.
Your daily habits and routines are very important. These repetitive activities are similar to setting a ship’s course. Habits projected out across your lifetime dictate where you will arrive in the future and making small corrections to habits can vastly change your future when accumulated over a lifetime. Some habits will lead to success, others to failure.
The “Characteristics” planet holds all the personal traits you want to embody. You begin by increasing your personal awareness and then move on to gratefulness, forgiveness, acceptance, responsibility, and persistence. You will learn how to stop being hard on yourself, which is an unhealthy characteristic that punishes us for past mistakes. Instead, by adopting acceptance, you learn to release your critical self-judgments and find forgiveness.
Once you are free of your past habits and beliefs, you begin to employ the “Strategies” planet; it contains proven strategies for wealth and happiness. These are very effective for self-chosen ones who have learned to get out of their own way. These strategies include a three-step process for success: how to take action, how to employ leverage, and how staying in motion leads to your true purpose. They also teach how to manage distractions, learn from mistakes, utilize teams, and how intellectual property dominates as a business strategy.
Strategies are crucial to individual success but can be overemphasized. For example, for many years, I believed that good strategies were all I needed. I thought knowledge alone was enough. It was years later that I discovered that my personal beliefs had sabotaged every effort I undertook. Once I changed my beliefs, the strategies became effective.
The final “Environment” planet helps you stay focused on the journey as you learn how to restructure and control your environment for success. It covers removing negative influences, seeking out other self-chosen ones, and, on a daily basis, adding sources of positive inspiration in your life. You will also learn to avoid violent images so that your fertile mind can grow the types of ideas and thoughts you desire.
Your environment either assists in your progress or detracts from it. You will learn to identify and remove negative reminders of your past. Clearing out and releasing old objects and ideas creates room to acquire new positive ideas, items, and clothes about which you feel great. You will learn to feed your mind with positive information and avoid negative sources of news and ideas.
In the next chapter, self-chosen one levels of attainment are discussed. Then, in part two of the book, we go into detail about concepts within each attainment level. Some concepts are more important in the beginning, and some become more critical at higher levels. This breaks up the material and focuses learning only on what is needed at each stage. As you grow, additional topics are introduced as needed. All together this process is a highly structured system of growth and achievement.
We will review the Dynamics Model again in a coming chapter as part of the Key Concepts Matrix. This is a handy new way to approach the topics, show a hierarchy, and observe how they fit together. In part two of the book, we will discuss the progression of the chosen ones.

ATTAIN
What should you do first and when do you shift from self-reflection to acceptance, creation, and then into action?
One of the problems with most personal improvement books and courses is that they are unable to provide the individual with a reliable road map or even a way of gauging their progress towards mastering the concepts. Each book focuses only on certain topics, and they are never fully integrated into an overall framework with simple progression levels.
The progression levels defined here are a useful way to gauge individual progress along the path of personal development. They are meant to be used as milestones on the journey and not for recognition of achievement. This book divides the journey of the self-chosen ones into five distinct levels that everyone will pass through on the way to obtaining their dreams.
This is important because without a framework many people flounder, do not know where to focus, or understand how the concepts build upon each other. For example, one book may talk about forgiveness or awareness and another
