The Nature of Sin

The Nature of Sin

Most of us are familiar with the seven deadly sins grouping and classifications of vices within the Christian teachings which can be traced back to Greek and Roman precedents. These are Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth. Aristotle put forward a different approach, he identified Virtues, and each virtues had two extremes representing Vices. For example Courage is a virtue, whereas Recklessness and Cowardice are the two extremes. There is also the concept of Philosophical Sin which is an act contrary to the Natural Order of Reason, i.e. a moral sin. We can go on and on to list other examples from different cultures and religions, we would observe three elements in all of them. That is, Divine Law, Law of the Land, Customary Law. Breaking any of these laws is considered a sin.

So, what are the consequences if committing a sin as per the previous paragraph. Well, if we take the seven deadly sins, it is pretty obvious that physical ailments is prevailing. Whereas if we take Philosophical Sin and customary , we enter the world of taboos; and finally for a sin under the law of the land, the consequences varies but the most common is imprisonments, fines, and death. So there is Physical, Mental, and Deprivation ailments/punishments, whether inflicted to the perpetrator of by the offended parties. We can argue the these three elements are present in some degrees in each group, that is they are always paired to each other with one of them being the main ailment/punishment depending on the type of sin. Now, note that the first two forms part of the Triad of the concept of Threeness, that is, the unity of the mind, body and spirit. Hence, we see that in a state of sin the spirit is replaced by suffering. Therefore, being united with one’s spirit (Higher Self) provides freedom and absence of suffering. But what exactly does this mean? How to unite with the spirit? Do we need to enter a spiritual path? become an ascetic? undergo sabbatical retreat to reinvent ourselves? Well the answer is none of the above. We will see why as we go along, just keep reading.

So we understand the different forms of sin and the different repercussion of committing a sin. Obviously there are two sources of repercussions. External, that is from a 3rd party, or internal, that is physical and mental ailments. There is a 3rd one, but we will come to it later. Let us try to list the different categories of repercussion as follows:-

  • those that do not carry a social stigma, like a fine for speeding,
  • those that carry stigmas like imprisonment of more serious fines,
  • those that entail social stigma only, for example going against customary law, or for a woman being unmarried at a certain age (a good one this one, i see a lot of it nowadays), another one which is hard for woman is not having children…. you catch my drift, woman are more prone to social stigma than man…. but this is no news to you, scary how this state of thing seems to be silently accepted today, hence the damage it causes as a silent repercussion on the psyche and physical being.
  • We will stop here for now.
Awareness and Self Healing

From the above we can observe that women in general will suffer more stigmas that men. Most of you know this to be true. What you do not know, is that silent acceptance of this state of things brings enormous tension around your Sacral Chakra. Enough of gender comparison for now. Back to sin. So we have social stigmas, non-social stigmas, and stigmas. We are more concern here with social stigmas, that is the cost of fitting in. The cost to an individual will entail being thrown into the web of what the Christians label the 7 deadly sins. The sin here is the act of having an unhealthy lifestyle. So, healing that type of individual will entail identifying the root of the problem and start the healing process. But most of the time there are several roots and therefore the healing process is like untying the Gordian knot. So here it is for those who think that meditation and a healing session will resolve your problem, it will not, it is a long process where the most important hurdle is yourself. Hence, the first step in a healing process is to put individuals in a position where they can make an informed use of their free will. At this point, I will like to emphasize that common psychic and occult attacks work as a catalyst for existing imbalance rather than creating new one out of nothing (which goes against the laws of physics – in case you have science knowledge); this is why we attach little importance to treat such attacks, it is like cutting the branches and leaving the roots. If you remove the roots, then such attacks are useless. Of course we do clear psychic and occult attacks before we start your healing process, just to enable you to breathe in the present and move forward. But ultimately it is you who will make the healing process permanent ….. by developing a new awareness of yourself and your environment.

So, are you still following? There is no sin, there is imbalance, trying to please be it your boss, your friend, your family, your ego, your partner and so on. Living as per your Wants instead of your Needs. This kind represents 99% of todays problems in the world, you don’t believe me, take a look at your immediate environment, a good look, now tell me what you see. Do you see happy shiny people? or do you see Hungry Ghosts? Of course, there are many people suffering in the world today, living on less that one usd per day, how about them, who caused that state of things; well the answer is simple, everyone who possess more that they need, for one person to accumulate, another must lose, you cannot create wealth out of thin air. I will not dwell in that point as it is useless, I only mentioned it because the questions often comes from students who wonder why there is suffering in the world…… the most stupid question with a too obvious answer, but that is not my war; as I said, it is useless to cut the branches and leave the roots.

Integration

The above is just the first step towards having a balance lifestyle. It is of little use to meditate, or do some form of healing, do exercise and other wellness practice, if the core is polluted. The first step is to remove this pollution and install proper grounding and create fluid synergy between our subtle bodies. This is not spirituality, this is getting cleaned up.

Thus people, the approach to healing, irrespective of the technique(s) you are using, should be as follows:-

  • Identify the root(s) of the imbalance, that is the sin and the stigma
  • Heal current blocks and obstacles, specially if it has been enhanced by psychic or occult attacks,
  • Create acceptance of the sin and remove the stigma,
  • Use of proper meditation or prayers to channel the right energies required for the healing,
  • Query the Higher Self and analyse the six main subtle bodies to remove conflicts between them using the Higher Self as the giver of directions.

This is the first step in healing the self, remove the root of the problem, grounding, acceptance, and synergy. Then you can proceed with your life as per your individual Karma. At this point you must increase your awareness that, as you are on a journey in this life as an individual, the Soul is on a journey too, but through several lifetimes. Therefore, on its journey, the Soul bonds with several individuals and thus carries the energies of these individuals through consecutive lifetime. This slate must be cleared too, but this is another progression altogether, and normally left for the final part of the current life. Think of it as a person having to undergo several chirurgical intervention, you cannot do all in one intervention, and there is an order of priority too. The same applies to healing of the Soul. And in between these two there are numerous other healing which comes along as the person progress towards being a free spirit, the type of healing and techniques used depends mainly on your background, culture, and lineage, but there is a solution for everyone, whatever your belief system, as long as you are open to accept certain truth about yourself and the society you are living in.

Well that its for now, until a another post, have a nice journey.

Who needs Divination?

Who needs Divination?

Why is it that so many people today feel compel to seek solace in some form of healing or spiritual practice to life rather than finding it in their native faith.

If you think that the divination arts are consulted only by people having mundane problem you cannot be more wrong. If you see the client list of some psychics and tarot practitioners you would be dumbfounded. One thing i can tell you is that it is intensively used in politicians and businessmen. But of course no one will admit to it, even you the reader you will not tell your entourage that you once consulted an oracle and found peace through their guidance.

But who really needs it?

We can categorized people into three groups:-

  • Those who are fully integrated in the sytem
  • Those who run the system
  • Those who (for some unknown reason) cannot seem to fit in the system, although having done everything by the norms
  • Those who carry heavy karmic debts and karmic lessons

The first two categories of people will have recourse to divination for material and relational aspects of their lives. Increase abundance, happiness, success, happy family life etc etc.

There is nothing wrong with that situation in itself, we do live in a very competitive world. This is the social and moral norms of this era. Most of the problems faced by category one and two will be related to mundane affairs, energy blockage, anxiety, stress, black magic, strong negative energies like envy and jealousy, love and other things along the same line. The problems encountered by category one and two people are easily dealt with by genuine and experienced Psychic/Healer/Life Coach. The category one and two people are at a fix level of spirituality in this current life, there is no progress or regress for them in this current life.

The real challenge is to deal with the category three and four people. These person, for some reason are not able to lead a life according to the social and moral norms around them. The soul of these people are at an evolutionary point where they are about to make a transition from one level of spirituality to another. A note of warning here, these people will attract or have around them very high energies and it is current practice among many so call Gurus today to syphon that energy for their own gain.

The challenge in dealing with such cases is that the problem is threefold:-

  • Get them to accept that social and moral norms does not apply to them, as in they cannot have the same expectancy as category one and two people
  • Teach them the spiritual truths of matters pertaining to their specific individual situation
  • Getting them to integrate the solution given to them in concordance to their immediate environment to cause minimal disruption in their social and professional life

The difficulty also lies in the fact that very often the failure to successfully accomplish the threefold task leads to a regression in spirituality. The buddhist system in that respect is quite effective as it prevent regression of the soul, so whatever you have acquired is maintained, but for this one must have practiced a life as a buddhist in one of her/his previous life. It can be deduced from the tarot readings, if you know how to ask the proper line of questions.

Therefore, it is of utmost importance for such individuals to approach their transition with due diligence and care. One thing to avoid is the unnecessary sophistication of the unmanifest world and quest for special skills. if you are to see the unmanifest, you will see it by yourself, there is no need for attunement from anyone. As for special skills, they are just by-product of the evolution of the soul, it should not be sought for, nor should it be valorised. The reason is simple, your Ego will devour you inside out once you start flaunting your special skills.

I’ll take your leave now and hope you enjoy the reading.

Bye for now
Lots of love
Peace to all of you.

The Way Forward – Transit

The Way Forward – Transit

How to move forward in life
Transit

Although we live in the present (most of us at least), our psyche dwells in three distinct spacetime, namely past, present, and of course future. They exist in a continuum, and for most of us, the predictability and stability of our future condition provides a firm block enabling us to enjoy the present.

Our subject, The Way Forward, concerns those turning points of our lives, when we are faced with decisions which will have serious impact on our future. In a tarot spread, this will manifest by the presence of Major Arcana cards. When we reached a turning point, it is most likely that matters will be disruptive, our psyche will be like a pinball machine, assessing past, present and future continuously, the routine suddenly changes, possibilities and extrapolations abound. The resultant effect of this is a state of continuous stress, as we are unable to reasonably predict our future condition.

The first thing to do when we are at a turning point, is to stop and take stock of our life:-
– what have we achieved up to now?
– are we satisfied with ourselves?
– what happened to our dreams?
– what have we gain as experience?
– how to we redefine words like friends, trust, love, family, colleagues?
– who can we really count on?

Having done that, now is the time to relax for a few days and do something soothing and pleasant, (alcohol and other intoxication is strongly discouraged at this stage), be in nature, eat fruits and walk barefoot to reconnect with Gaea. Ground yourself, take deep breath and exhale as slowly as you can for at least 5 mins a day. Get this moment alone with yourself, outside in nature, to reconnect with your inner child. If you have the opportunity to be near a body of water, (lake or sea), be near it as it will recharge your batteries faster.

A week has passed now and fortunately your psyche should be back to a normal state, the impact of the disruptive nature of the situation and the unpredictability of the future will be curtailed by the stocktake and grounding exercises. Now it is time for you to take a decision. A turning point will entail leaving something, someone, or a situation which we have been accustomed to. There are several meditative techniques – cutting ties – which allow us to do just that. But as for any mechanism, there are certain conditions which are primordial for its effectiveness.

    Forgiveness
    We must forgive ourselves and others involved in the situation. Forgiving someone does not mean that we have accepted what we perceived as wrongdoing on their part. It implies that we are refusing to allow the negativity of the matter to affect us in any way. But before we can forgive someone, we must learn how to forgive ourselves. To forgive yourself, you must have mercy on you, accept your faults. In other words we mean to say that forgiveness is about not blaming anyone for the situation you are in, you are in a situation, point.
    Now deal with it, better your life. At this point working with Archangel Raphael is very effective, because it brings in depth cleansing and solid grounding.
    Detoxification

    Any transit period will entail the movement in and out of new energies into our live and our body. During that period it is advisable to detoxify the body and the mind.
    Adopting a light diet:-
    – no processed food
    – no fast food
    – no red meat (even chicken cause most of them are full of medicine and hormones these days)
    – certainly no alcohol
    – no drugs, even recreative drugs (in countries where it is legal)
    – regular sleeping time
    – cut off from actualities and medias

    If you are eating lots of vegetables and fruits (which would be ideal), make sure you wash them in baking soda to remove pesticides, as water only does not remove pesticides.

    This looks like kind of retreat, and it is.

    Communion with the Divine
    Meditation. This one meditation will be for:
    – grounding
    – being thankful
    – building the faith muscle
    – building will power
    – building trust in the Divine
    It is relatively simple to do. You just need to sit for 15 mins per day, be comfortable, concentrate on your breath, count them 1 – 10 over and over again. You will build a rhythm, slowly reduce the speed of the rhythm till you reach a point where you are barely feeling your breath. Then start to feel your heartbeat, count your heartbeat 1 to 10 as you did for your breath, and feel your heart and be thankful, just be thankful that you ARE. Being thankful brings confidence, and being confident we can move on.

Now we are back to the “cutting ties” meditation. It should last 28 days, if you fulfilled the above conditions, then it should go on very smoothly. The whole process would take you approximately 1 hour per day and can be adapted to your daily routine. It is recommended to go to sleep at dusk and wake up before dawn.

Let us recap.
1. Forgiveness
2. Detoxification
3. Communion
4. Cutting ties
5. Cleansing

Do step 1 to 3 only for the first week. (7 + 21 days)
After that week then add the cutting ties and cleansing meditation. (21 days)

This is the transit period that is advisable to negotiate a major turning point in our life. I would like to end with this point: the greatest enemy you will face during such time is YOURSELF, more precisely your EGO. Every other obstacles are futile and easily taken care of. The Ego, on the other hand, is a formidable enemy. I have witnessed people who had completed all the necessary exercises to progress in their life along the ideal path to pay their karmic debt and learn their karmic lesson, when at the last moment the Ego jumps in with all its weight……back to square minus one (-1). The Ego is associated with the karmic lesson, it will do everything to prevent this lesson from being learnt. For your Ego, we can do nothing, no not really, we can, but it will entail depriving you of your free will, some people do it, we don’t.

Bye for now
Lots of love
Peace to all of you.
