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.

Religion – Part 2

Religion – Part 2

Here we are again on the subject of religion. If you go through our first article on religion you would have understood that the subject matter is something very personal, one which is best kept to oneself. But several people have asked us to delve a little in the subject, so that’s what we will do here, only delve a little, because for us religion (in its current form) is not a prerequisite to spiritual evolution.

Mother Nature was our first religion to us all, that was the time when our interactions with Gaia was very intimate. Women were the first priestesses, (there were no priest – men, by its nature, did not indulged in dealing with the spirit world). How did all this evolved to the religions we know today is a question of power struggle and control. There are really two events that adulterated the true purpose of religion, the first one being the takeover of the priesthood role by men, and the second is the takeover of religion by politicians (be it kings, emperors, pharaohs etc etc) to nowadays politicians.

When women started interacting with the spirit world they gained knowledge and information, they learned the ways of Nature and how to manipulate the elements (what you would call witchcraft today). They learned the ways of nature and how to exploit it for their survival, how to live in harmony with the spirit world and gain esoteric knowledge. Naturally, that was not well digested by men, who promptly at first use their physical superiority to curb women to their will, because try as much as they would, it was difficult for them to be in phase with the spirit world, until they learned how to use drugs to access other realms. That was the first fall for women.

Now this new knowledge which gave precise information for survival and healing opened a door for domination over one’s peers, thus the cast of priest emerged, man of great power who whispered in the ears of kings and the like. It is pretty much the same today, it is just dome behind closed doors. Unfortunately, men did not profit from this move, you cannot force nature to reveal itself to you, although some men did possess enough feminine energy to consecrate their life in dealing with the spirit world, but the like of these tended to retreat from society and live a hermit life. The others were left with an unrefined knowledge, think about it, if the men of god were actually effective in their arts, why would so many civilisations have crumbled over and over again; it is not that the art is defective, it is the individual who was not cut out for the job. Nowadays, men displays more feminine attributes, but in those days men were very masculine in nature, which did not match the necessary aptitudes to interact with Gaia, the spirit world, and other realms.

So slowly overtime religion over the world evolved in three distinct types – Polytheism, Monotheism, and ditheism. But do not be fooled, behind closed doors, occult practice is very much alive, at the highest spheres of society and politics. But that is not our concern here, our concern is “where do i place my faith?”.

You see, in all part of the world religion is mixed with traditions. Do not feel that you have to cut off completely from what is practiced in your culture of family. Always honor the rites that has been done in your family, that is very important because it concerns your Ancestors. For the rest, as we advised in the first article, keep it simple, develop an intimate relation with the God you pray to, ask for light and guidance, the rest will be automatic. If you do it properly, you will gain spiritual knowledge and guidance of your own, the trick is that you should not feel superior – whether there is one God or Many Gods, feeling superior about your faith is not compatible with spiritual truths, simply because superiority drags you down the animal kingdom, lower energies etc, you will definitely gain special skills if you meditate, but the stance you adopt during communion with God(s) is what triggers or hampers the communication of spiritual knowledge. Special skills is not Spiritual Knowledge, this is how many Gurus today have created so many sects around the world and turn human into lambs and zombies. Do not equate special skills with Spirituality, you could not be more wrong. When we talk about special skills, it can be healing, prayers, divination, magick, witchcraft etc.

The source of happiness is fulfilling one’s destiny, whatever that may entail. See, every individual is a spiritual being having a human experience. We have loss our spirituality in favor of consumerism, power, control. Money does not bring happiness, nor does a position of power; you will only be constantly wary of protecting your position and possession. Success, as it is defined in today’s society, entails a constant stress in maintaining our standard of living according to social and moral norms which are geared by consumerism and harsh competition. To find happiness, you must first obtain clear guidance of your current state of spiritual evolution, and you cannot do this if you are trapped in social and moral norms. The first step is to distance yourself from mainstream mass beliefs and practice. Then only three things are important to begin the journey, they are: Communion with God in its most simple form of your personal faith, honouring your Ancestors (the way it is done in your culture), and meditating in complete humbleness with the Universe and Gaia. These are the prerequisite to start the journey to happiness and harmony. Then you will see that the knowledge that you need for your journey will be imparted to you, either by the development of special skills or by strong intuitive guidance. What is to be avoided at all costs is the feeling of superiority or that your God is the true God, or whatever.

Religion have long parted itself from spirituality. At the beginning there were no religion, there was knowledge of how to live in harmony with Gaia and the Universe, Gods and Goddesses were but one entity whose energy were balanced as per the requirements of the context of a particular situation. Goddesses prevailed naturally because the feminine energy has a greater role in fecundity, it takes a few minutes for the male to inseminate the female, but the gestation period of the offspring takes months, this is why the female deities are the most prominent in earlier faiths.

When you come to think of it, what is the need for having a religion (or how does it help you in achieving happiness), what purpose does it serve today? Once you come to understand that true happiness is feeling contented, and that contentment only comes from obtaining a spiritual understanding according to your current level of spiritual evolution, the rest is just cultural dressing. Live your truth in harmony with your environment and its social and moral norms, but be impervious to mass belief and exigency; do it subtly by not imposing or letting your awareness transpire on your environment, except for people who are at the same spiritual level as you are. If you can understand this, then you are on your way to be leading a very fulfilling life.

I want to close this article on a subject that is becoming very popular these days. There are so many theories being put forward today which purport to give realistic information about ancient civilisation, God(s), aliens etc. To delve into these subjects will only serve to confuse and distract you. What does it matter whether history as we know it is false, how does it affect me in the now, how does it help me to move forward? What does it matter that there are aliens on the moon or that God is an alien? What does it matter what is the real purpose of the Great Pyramid? What use is that knowledge to me? What i can tell you is that if you are at a certain level of spiritual evolution you will find the answer to these questions, you will visit the pyramid and many other places, you will find people who are at the same level of evolution as you are because you have access to the same realms; but it is useless to delve in these matters so long as it requires you to believe blindly (or based on photographs, academics extrapolations, mathematical illustrations etc etc). What matters is that you have the capacity NOW, to access your essence and the essence of the Universe in a simple manner – getting rid of the clutters.

So our advice to you; enjoy your culture, enjoy your religion but replace your belief with actual interaction with the Universe and Gaia through meditation, communion and detachment from social and moral norms. You will see so many entities and truth will be revealed to you. One last word about Ancestors, when you honor your Ancestors, remember Gaia, She is our first Ancestor.

Thank you for taking time to read this article and we hope it brings light into your life.

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

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.

Do we need Gurus – Addendum

Do we need Gurus – Addendum
    Many people seems to have misunderstood this article. We are adding this addendum to clarify it.

    Firstly please note that, although we try to make our articles accessible to the mass, they are mostly intended to guide certain individuals who are at a crossroad right now and are having difficulties to adjust their life because of an increased sensitivity and shift in awareness. Moreover, upon realisation of the need for change, they would feel alienated by the world, and this place is to serve as a guide for their reintegration. It is just a category amongst others, it does not imply any kind of superiority. Everyone has a purpose..

How do we reconcile the following:

  • Pledge of Quan Yin: Never will I seek nor receive private, individual salvation; never will I enter into final peace alone; but forever and everywhere will I live and strive for the redemption of every creature throughout the world from the bonds of conditioned existence.
  • The noble Eightfold Path of the Budha: Monks, these two extremes ought not to be practiced by one who has gone forth from the household life. (What are the two?) There is addiction to indulgence of sense-pleasures, which is low, coarse, the way of ordinary people, unworthy, and unprofitable; and there is addiction to self-mortification, which is painful, unworthy, and unprofitable. Avoiding both these extremes, the Tathagata (the Perfect One) has realized the Middle Path; it gives vision, gives knowledge, and leads to calm, to insight, to enlightenment and to Nibbana. And what is that Middle Path realized by the Tathagata…? It is the Noble Eightfold path, and nothing else, namely: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration.
  • In the Bhagavad-gita, Krishna recommends the guru-disciple system—parampara—as the most reliable means of passing down spiritual knowledge. (Note the emphasis on most reliable, it is by no way the ONLY means)
  • Sri Ramakrishna: all religions ultimately lead to uniting with God
  • And there are plenty more that embroils the Spiritual Seeker in our contemporary world, trying to make sense of it all in this embroilment can be quite exhaustive.

    Spiritual Seekers are people having a hard time managing their increase sensitivity, and they feel the need to understand and make sense of the above paragons. Most individual are happy to adopt only what suits them to lead a balance life within the society they live; Spiritual Seekers on the other hand have a hard time trying to reconcile their increased sensitivity with their immediate social environment.

    We did not imply in anyway that Gurus of Spiritual leaders are have no use. Their role have changed. See, in ancient times they were the ones who were the intermediaries between humans and the Unseen. As humans became more and more industrialised, their connection with the Unseen lessened. Thus their capacity to receive guidance through intuition and oracles diminished to a point where these aptitudes became to be seen as supernatural, which they are not. However, the need to maintain that connection gave rise to a specific type of individuals, Teacher/ Gurus /Healers /Priest, whatever name you choose to give them, their role was to ensure the what was done Below reflected what was Above. This responsibility entailed a non-action stance in worldly matters. A driver sits at the steering wheel of a bus and does not mingle with passengers, else we crash

    The contemporary Gurus and their peers are taking an active role in politics, social and moral reforms, we are not saying that it is wrong or right, it is just the way it is. Definitely they will need followers in order to carry out the task which they have set forth to do and many of them are doing an awesome work in diverse areas. Even fake leaders have their role, they will at least ignite the Spirituality in certain individuals.

    Kali Yuga is supposed to accelerate Spiritual evolution towards Singularity; we see it as a period where the maximum of souls have the opportunity to do so. Therefore, it is normal that there be a palette of religion and belief system to match the social, ethnic, class diversities of our world population thus enabling the maximum of individuals to engage towards a Spiritual path.


    Our standpoint is that of a Spiritual Seeker, we do learn valuable lessons from contemporary Gurus and Spiritual leaders, but the opportunity is given to every one of us to move closer to Singularity in this Yuga. So, whether we are following a fake or true Guru (and we will meet both types along the journey, in fact we discover a palette of ideologies each emphasising being The Way), Spiritual Seekers are to spend the least time under the influence of another individual. For Spiritual Seekers, now is not the time to judge or compare, it is a time to maximise Spiritual growth by gaining access to Spiritual Laws and learn how to read them.

    One last thing, think about it well, if Kali Yuga gives opportunity to precipitate the attainment of Singularity, it also gives the opportunity to precipitate the bonding to Duality which has a retrogressive effect on our Spiritual development.

    Peace to all of you.

    Occult, Mystical, Supernatural, & Magical powers

    Occult, Mystical, Supernatural, & Magical powers

    Occult, Mystical, Supernatural, & Magical powers.

    Let us refer to the above as mystical powers thereon or MPs for short.

    A labourer, when he ploughs and works his field manually everyday, he will develop some muscular structure over time resultant from his effort towards his work, the body respond by building more muscle to help him.
    The primary objective here is not building muscle, but working the field. Should the labourer now take an interest in his muscle and start engaging in bodybuilding after work, what will happen? Obviously, he will collapse.
    The primary activity will suffer, and the objective will be foregone.
    This analogy clearly demonstrate what awaits the spiritual seekers who attach too much importance to MPs
    .

    We need not necessarily be engaged in spiritual development for us to develop MPs, and this is important to bear in mind.

    MPs is when you acquire the aptitude to manipulate certain energies, learn the alchemy of the elements, plants and minerals, psychic abilities, use of sounds and vibrations etc etc. We are not here to debate about their use or effectiveness, but rather the point we are trying to make is that MPs are serious distraction to the Spiritual Seeker. When you engage on this path, the aim should not be towards developing MPs, they are natural manifestation along the path, and each person will develop a specific set of MPs which will suit his/her specific circumstance. Think about it this way, what would a heart surgeon need to develop the qualities of dental surgeon?

    On a Spiritual Path, we are trying to find our place. That placement requires specific aptitudes. These aptitudes already started their development even before we became aware of the need for change. Imagine now, if we try to develop other aptitudes which will be of no use to our natural predisposition. Firstly we will tamper with the natural development of MPs innate to us, and secondly we would be engaging into a practice that we are not cut out for. There really is not much to say on this subject. It is really a distraction. But the need to mention it is important because it can cause major setback in one’s spiritual development.

    One more thing, we do not need someone else to show us how to use something which is innate to us, the safest and surest tool here is patience, hard work and faith, all things come in good time.

    So avoid the distraction and stay on path

    Religion, Gurus, Right and Wrong, Optimism and US as Spiritual Seekers

    Religion, Gurus, Right and Wrong, Optimism and US as Spiritual Seekers

    Religion, Gurus, Right and Wrong, Optimism and US as Spiritual Seekers.

    Hello, we have addressed six issues in our previous posts and these are:

  • What does it mean to be a Spiritual Seeker
  • Leap of faith
  • The role of Religion
  • Do we need gurus, spiritual leader and the likes
  • Should we avoid negative emotions?
  • Right and Wrong
  • These issues are the foundation on which we aim to start our spiritual journey. Bear in mind though that all humans are on this journey as soon as they gasp for air upon arrival on this earth. The fact that some of us take an awareness of it, does not mean that we are chosen amongst the mass, no, it is just that we have reached a stage in the evolution of the self where the distraction power of the manifest is lessened by our progress made in previous lives. It is a trait of the Ego to have us feel special and different from others, beware of it.

    But see here, all things in the Universe has to be balanced, it’s one of the Laws, duality. Do not gauge balance here on your moral and social norms, the Universe does not work according to the manifest’s laws nor its time scale. So, we achieve progress of the self but when we come back to continue the work, the manifest has moulded itself in a different shape, actually it is continuously mutating. There are different moral and social norms, distractions like technologies etc, interactions has changed due globalisation etc etc. There are new set of rules on the manifest, and this complicate matters.

    Being aware of our heightened awareness, does not mean that we should feel above the manifest’s laws and norms. We have to find our place where we can continue our progress whilst optimising the components which makes up the manifest. For example, let us take our solar system, each planet has a specific role to play, remove one and the whole balance is broken to some extent. Think of the Sun and its emanations as the manifest, each planet is disposed at the right vector for it to function according to its role, for there to be life on Gaea it should be at X distance to the Sun, plus other things of course, but let us concentrate of the vector aspect here. The same way a planet position itself in our system according to its role, we position ourselves in the manifest to optimise our progress according to our level of awareness.

    If we try to impose our newfound awareness on others, then we are like comets and asteroids. There is nothing wrong with that, they have their purpose too.

    Thus, to progress swiftly and smoothly we need to address these accordingly;

    • Respect the rules, laws, and norms of the society you live in. Some of us will eventually reach a level where they will be able to use these to their advantage. The same rules, same laws, same norms, but viewed from the standpoint of the Higher Self empowers tremendous power of manipulation in the Self
    • Religion. Go back to the basics and engage in devotion by working the faith muscle. Whatever system of belief, even the deceiving ones, if we detach from the mass and engage into solitary devotion, this leads to a new level of interactions with the Higher Beings. There is nothing wrong in participating in cultural festivals and the likes, just beware of crowd psychology
    • If we are to evolve further, we cannot be dependent of another’s will and actions. Gurus and spiritual leaders have their role to play. They are needed, and here too even the false one, to pull people towards wanting to better themselves. That is it, their role stop there. Once you are on the path, the Laws and Truths you are seeking do not lie in the mouth of Man. And remember the planets, satellite remains satellite forever, if you are not a satellite, move on
    • Emotions are to be embraced and lived as explained in Should we avoid negative emotions?. It is the mean to remove the effect of the manifest on the physical body. But as explained, most of them are to be expressed in the mind only. Further down the path each of us will learn when the need to relax the non-action rule applies
    • Right and wrong. Accept the fact that R&W as we know it now is a product of the manifest, it does not apply to the Spiritual Realm. Thus its importance to the Spiritual Seeker is trivial. But, as long as we are here as humans, we have to abide to the prevailing notion of R&W of society, we are not here to judge, we are here to move forward. Some of us might feel the urge to be comets and disturb the system, this is not advisable as it is reserve for but a few, and this too after they have achieved their enlightenment, they are commonly called Martyr, so think about it
    • And finally, we now understand what is a Leap of faith. To be independent and devoid of the need for anything or anyone to define our state of bliss. Bliss is in existence itself. Find bliss and you have found the safest and smoothest route to engage your journey. The emphasis here is on reducing dependence. Adopting that stance will enable the transfer of emotions and energies from base chakras to higher chakras for transmutation, these energies are fear resultant of previous engagements we had and from which we progressed. These energies have to be transmuted to a higher level of vibrations to enable progress. Nothing is to be discarded, it must be transmuted to a higher vibration.

    There you have it, equipped properly for the journey.

    In our next article, we will address the topic of occult, mystical, supernatural, or magical powers, practices, or phenomena. See, by now we have understood that we dwell in and are governed by energies that are beyond our understanding and reach unless we attain a certain level of vibration. Once we reach the level of vibration needed to
    tap into these energies, it is crucial that we refrain from learning how to tap into these through another fellow human. The risks are too high, and we will see why.

    And to finish we want you to think about something. It is said that love is the ultimate power, nothing can stand against it. Do you think Love we understand love in a spiritual context? Remember, we use words to communicate, this is a very primitive form of language. Can we really define Love?

    Thank you for reading.

    Ciao for now.

    The notion of Right and Wrong

    The notion of Right and Wrong

    Right and Wrong

    Hello dear friends, our notion of R&W (right and wrong) is a primal factor which has consequent effect on our progress towards the spiritual truths.

    R&W is a tricky subject to address. Let us analyse it by breaking it up into its different layers and separate the wheat from the chaff. In our article Avoiding negative emotion altogether we mentioned moral and social norms and how we should detach from them in order to progress. The detachment though is not something which is easily achievable because these norms are the foundation of who we are and they provide us with a sense of security and safety. But one fact remain, who amongst us did not at one point in time acted in divergence to these norms to follow one’s emotional urge? In fact we all did. It is just that the degree of the divergence varies subjectively.

    Ok, so we have the following categories:

    • The law of the land
    • The norms, or in some place laws, of the geographical area where we reside
    • Customs and taboos
    • Tribal laws
    • Religions laws
    • Moral and social norms based on our standard of living
    • Each individual’s subjective propensity to diverge from the above norms and laws

    And this list can go on and on into more sub-categories.

    The notion of right and wrong is defined by the need of reaching a consensus to regulate human behaviour for the betterment of something larger than us, a society, a country, a race etc etc. And that all of us, at one point in time, justified diverging from it for personal betterment, it can range from jumping the queue to mass genocide. The notion of R&W is subjective. Depending on our propensity to take risk, we all shape it to a certain degree everyday. The propensity to take risk is influenced by what lies in our subconscious mind. On a spiritual journey we deal firstly with the subconscious mind. I would like to introduce something here,

    the subconscious mind is to be treated as a child, you cannot reason with it

    So, what is R&W for someone engaged on the spiritual path and seeking spiritual truth? You see, so long as you are living through this flesh, you have to abide to all the norms and laws we mentioned above and you are going to shape it to suit your own agenda from time to time. These notions of R&W are of no consequence on the spiritual realm, but they are on the manifest side, so as long as you are here, you abide to them. This is pretty straight forward.

    But what is important for you to change is the process by which the shaping of your own perception of R&W is done. It should not be your subconscious mind influencing it, but rather your higher self. How is this achieved? Ask yourself the following questions before making any attempt to diverge from the law of the land and the likes of it.

    • Am i affecting someone directly, other than me, in a positive way
    • Am i affecting someone directly in a negative way

    Positive and negative as defined by the laws of the land and the likes

    If the answer is NO, then proceed to ask yourself the following:

    • Am i affecting my environment negatively

    Again if the answer is NO, then affirm the following:

    To Mother Earth Gaea, To all Gods and Goddesses, to the Elements, to the Elementals, Fairies, Angels and the likes, Our Ancestors, and to all those of whom i am not aware, i am ignorant, please enlighten me, i ask for forgiveness and guidance if my actions on the manifest is of consequence in the unmanifest

    Then follow your path with peace of mind and tranquility.

    Some may say that we have just added another form of subjectivity into the lot. Well that is true, although this time we are not influenced by our subconscious mind which is moulded by the manifest, instead we are establishing a clear connection with our Higher Self, which embodies a higher form of wisdom. From thereon we progress into tapping the collective consciousness commonly referred as the Akasha, but that is a different story to be discovered by yourself and kept to yourself.

    Therefore, on your spiritual journey, respect the laws which regulates your manifest the same way everybody else does, that is subjectively, the only difference is when you feel the need to diverge from it, use your Higher Self as a guide instead of letting the subconscious mind dictate your action. To do this refer to the methodology in the article Avoiding negative emotion

    The hypocrisy of today’s world is that everyone of us portrays themselves as law abiding citizen in their own subjective perception, well jumping the queue is not different than mass genocide, it’s simply that you have not been conditioned for it, this does not mean you are not capable of it. Remember your subconscious mind will always have you express your emotions and urges in the first three chakras, the same emotions and urges have a different impact on your progress along the spiritual path when it is expressed through the Heart chakra. This is your objective as a Spiritual Seeker.

    This is very important to understand, until you are capable of expressing your basic instinct through your Heart chakra, everything is expressed in the first three chakras, if you are not capable yet of doing so, you must develop a manner of transmuting the setbacks this causes on your spiritual growth; any kind of prayer, if done with sincerity and a pure heart, will do. It is not alarming, it only forms part of your growth. Do you think the Lion has any kind of feeling when killing a prey, we may say that it’s an animal, well so are we dear friends, as long as our subconscious mind dictates our behaviour, we are but animals. And be aware that contrary to popular belief, your prayers lose their ability to transmute if used too often, and it has nothing to do with the Gods and Goddesses not willing to forgive…..just imagine applying tippex ten time over the same word in the same page. If you find yourself repeatedly having to transmute the energies accumulated in the base chakras, then you are on another path, one of subjugation to primitive and basic instinct. Forgiveness does not exist on a Spiritual level, prayers are not meant for forgiveness, they are meant for cleansing of the chakras.

    See, the Spiritual Laws are not capable of being adulterated, for they untouched by the manifest. Prayers are a mean to break free from the mishaps caused by the frailty of the flesh, it does so by acting as a mechanism for getting the relevant energies necessary for transmutation. But it becomes useless if used as tippex.

    Good day to all of you.

    Avoiding negative emotions altogether

    Avoiding negative emotions altogether

    Avoiding negative emotions altogether.

    It is believed that there is a need to be positive, whatever the situation, find comfort in the positive side of a particular situation that makes us sad, do not be judgemental, do not allow anger, fear, resentment, hate, revenge and the like to block our spiritual evolution, be an Earthangel some say.

    See here; when you attain a certain level in your spiritual evolution, others around you will see in you a person filled with positive traits and untouchable by the negative traits. They are looking at you from their perspective, thus they believe that to progress along the spiritual path they should adopt the same stance . The seasoned Seeker will radiate these traits to the neophyte, but these traits are the veil the Seeker has earned as a reward of lessons learnt. Words would not be able to convey these lessons to the neophytes, and wearing the veil from his standpoint will only result in confusion and delays.

    For the neophyte, emotions should be fully experienced, without restraint, but within the confinement of the mind. The stance to be taken here is that of non-action. Whatever type of emotions being felt is then treated within this confinement, treated not enjoyed. Emotions are reactions of our conditioned mind that find solace when expressed by the physical body. Having fully experienced the emotion in our mind without any guilt, we then go on to train the mind in finding solace in the understanding of the rationality of a particular emotion and not in its expression. This exercise will gradually place us in an observer chair of our own mind and self, and will enable us to let go of unnecessary sophistications that blocks our progression. Doing it properly for some time will bring about a detachment from your current self, and this can be quite puzzling. You will experience your dreams differently, it would be as if you have more control over your actions in your dreams. This is in fact very important in order for you to delve into your subconscious mind and deal with any matters that need to be addressed for you to progress along the spiritual path and especially to let go of skeletons in thou closet.

    But again, a word of advice, do not influence others who cannot comprehend or grasp the perspective you’ve attained, take the compliment but do not give advice like be always happy whatever the situation, forgive everyone no matter what, or love everyone. The last one always make me nod, cause we have little understanding of what Love is really but that’s another topic.

    At this point we must remember that we are quite a primitive race, and our basic instinct still prevails over the higher self. Most of our emotions are dealt in the first three chakras, root/muladhara/manipura. Dealing with emotions and urges in the manner explained above allow for release of these basic energies from these chakras, instead of suppressing them. It is the suppression of these emotions which creates havoc in the subconscious mind, as you are going against your nature. For your mind, instinct prevails over moral and social norms.

    In our pursuit of Spiritual Truth, we need to release the norms that have conditioned us and make us who we are now, these norms are not wrong in themselves, they were needed to bring us to our current condition and predisposition. Each of us were subjected to specific norms based on our external life-space. To progress we must first detach from these. Remember we talked about fear in our article Leap of faith, the methodology eases the process of identifying and letting go of those fears.

    If we are honest about how we became Seekers of the Spiritual Truth, then we should embrace everything that contributed to placing us in that disposition. Resilience is an important trait here, it tempers the urge to act on certain emotions, mostly negative emotions caused by the actions of another. The reasons for these happenings in your life are of no consequences here or rather out of our capacity to understand. Resilience will enable mitigating the effect of suppressed feeling until it is addressed as explained above.

    The rationality behind our behaviour is strongly influenced by our subjective moral and social norms, as a true seeker of the spiritual knowledge, it makes little sense attaching importance to anything which is of a subjective nature. We must not assign a definition or a shape or form to something that we are still yet to discover, doing so will only project a subjective illusionary and deceptive image of what is yet to be learned. Not knowing is ok. Not knowing will serve the same effect as Resilience, it will mitigate the effect of suppressed emotions.

    Let us recap the process:

  • Express your emotions fully in your mind
  • Be resilient, for now, for all torts you think you have endured in your life
  • Acknowledge that moral and social norms are not appropriate gauge for a Seeker
  • Affirm everyday during your prayers or mantras or meditation, that you don’t know what is the law
  • Make a pledge to adopt a non-action stance for now
  • Take a back seat and observe your body and mind at work, its natural reactions
  • Clear your first three chakras everyday, for this you just have to visualise it flowing clockwise in a fluid and constant flow
  • Deal with your subconscious mind in your dreams. This is unique for each individual, so good luck. Remember that you are looking for control in your dreams. The ultimate aim is to control everything happening, a bit like writing a story
  • Slowly but surely learn how to transmute a basic instinct reaction to a higher self reaction, that is, take the emotions from the first three chakras and bring it up to the heart chakra
  • Now start learning how to operate this emotion from the heart chakra.

    The rest is personal to each individual, because even on the spiritual plane there is segregation of duties. You will learn what is for you to learn, no more no less, hence the recommendation not to share your truths.

    Thus to progress along the path, there must be a profound introspection of the self. Think of the saying as above so below. Understand yourself and you will begin to understand the above. You cannot understand yourself within a framework of moral and social norms, you must detach and become an observer. You cannot detach from your emotions if you don’t confront them. And this confrontation often takes place in your dreams. Dreams wouldn’t be the same again, it will have a all different dimension, but you have to experience it to fully understand it, and, remember, it is different for each of us.

    You will no longer be the mind nor the body. Be a Seeker and allow yourself to contemplate the mechanism of the body and the mind from an unbiased standpoint. Do not be repulsed by your mind’s and your body’s reactions based on moral and social norms. Allow yourself to embrace your emotions but do not give them expression in the physical world, allowing expression into the physical will start a downward cycle in the direction of our most primitive instinct and it is quite difficult to come out of it. The emphasis is on adopting the non-action stance. Find your real place here and there…..

    And this is just the beginning.

    Ciao for now
