Who are we?

Before we answer this question, let us set some parameters. Say there are three level of existential awareness with which we are interested, and we can name these as Animals, Human Beings, and Transcendence; the latter meaning existence or experience beyond the normal or physical level.

Animals respond to the lower energies, what we call primal instincts. The need to survive and procreate occupies a large portion of their life. They feel emotions like fear, rage, parental affection, attachment, playfulness, revenge, sadness , despair and others along the same line.

Human Beings are”Animals that are capable of experiencing Transcendence”. So basically, Homo Sapiens are Animals who have the aptitude to display the qualities of Human Beings.

What makes us Human?

Among all Animals, Homo Sapiens is one specie that can progress or regress to different level of Awareness. Spiritual evolution, as it is known today, can be gradual or you can skip the middle part and attain the whichever extremes directly (complete regression as opposed to enlightenment). Gradual or direct, both path have their own challenges and it is really a question of what type of risk taker you are. We will not discuss these challenges here, suffice do say that the Buddhist method is one of the safest route to enlightenment.

Homo Sapiens evolves in its own ecosystem; Society. They are entangled in a set of Norms which are difficult to reconcile and are always strained in order to maintain an equilibrium between emotional, logical and social norms. What it means is that each individual lives its life by constantly maintaining and equilibrium, between its subjective emotional and rational needs, objective social norms and its own subjective interpretation of these same Social norms. Now add Religion and ideologies in the mix, and we get a full picture of the contemporary Homo Sapiens.

Globalisation and technological revolution did not help, they only brought more stress to the equation. Today much of the notion of Happiness is short live and heavily dependent on material wealth and security. This is Homo Sapiens today, living in an emotional culture of precarity. Unfortunately, it is difficult, whilst at that level of awareness, to find Peace. Peace being the first step to beginning the journey towards Transcendence.

This does not mean, however, that Homo Sapiens do not experience other states of existence, they do, but it is not permanent, not understood, and cannot be attained at will.

What is Peace

Now this is the interesting part. Nowadays, we all seek Peace. But in the form of material, emotional comfort, security; which some would think is a prerequisite to finding Peace. It is not, it helps, but is is not; and we certainly need them nowadays, unless one is living a life of a hermit.

Prayers,when done properly is as way to find Peace, and sometimes miracles. For Material gains, a strong-willed person will achieve more in manifesting material outputs, than someone relying on prayers. There is also the Dark Arts, but that one is a different ball game. Emotional tranquility is associated nowadays with an Utopian view of our own nature, so i will not bother to even start on that one.

So …?

So, not many of you out there are ready to become Monks or Hermits, are you? Peace, is not an easy notion to be fathomed on our plane of existence. Peace is more like an Utopia, at the most it is temporary and fragile. Unless, one begin to understand the nature of its own existence. the understanding of Peace will be limited and adulterated.

Unfortunately for many Homo Sapiens today, the soul that is within, is starving for Spiritual Truth, aka Peace. Thus, they are driven towards Transcendence by a stronger current. The resultant effect of this strong pull, is that they no longer can manage to achieve the equilibrium which is necessary for temporary Peace, or illusional Peace, that suffice for the mass.

These individuals find themselves trapped in repetitive cycles until they choose to leave their comfort zone. They will attract the same kind of toxic partners and situations, and very often their immediate environment will be unbalanced. The more they resist to the calling of their soul, the more they sink in delusion, which also results in psychosomatic ailments, hormonal imbalance amongst other manifestation of negative energies.

Psychic and occult attacks have a more profound effect on them. After all, they are top soil. They also become ideal play objects for Lower Entities. They do receive plenty of guidance from Higher Entities, but the message gets adulterated by their delusion. And therefore, these types of individuals become top of the class Toys for the Lower Entities.

How to proceed then..?

The first thing is to face the truth and forget about Utopia. We live in a harsh world and if you are not prepare to muster yourself, then your life will be filled with sorrow and despair. You have to see the truths in yourself and the ecosystem you live in. Having done that, the next step is to tackle each issues of your life with an enlarged framework, one that enable you to maintain the necessary emotional balance and redefining the Self. It is like a deprogramming and reprogramming of your mind. Guidance, Healing accompanied by guided meditations clears the path for the journey to begin. The greatest difficulty is that this is a way of life in itself, one that will make you feel very lonely at the beginning. This loneliness is the precursor to the coming of independence of the Self.

The way forward

We have seen that a Spiritual path cannot be contemplated from our current perspective. There are several degrees of evolution before we attain the doors where such path starts. The aim is to become a Human Being. To regain our independence. Meaning that an individual should first be happy by himself/ herself first and then they will obtain a new perspective on the different relations in their life (family, relatives, neighbour, strangers, friends, colleagues, lover, husband, wife, children etc etc). If your happiness is dependent on external factors, then you have a fragile happiness, if your happiness is solely your decision, then you are better prepared to begin the journey to find Peace.

This is the starting point. Many cases i have had where clients are wary of what kind of partners they have, or that they are having a hard time to find a partner, and that makes them sad and depress. If you stop looking and start living your life fully contended with what you do have, then the partner will come naturally. or if you are in a bad relationship, you will easily move on with your life. If your emotional balance is dependent on another, then you are weak. If you feel the need to be completed by another half, then you will suffer. At this point, the notion of soulmate, twin-flame and the likes becomes frivolous at the most.

The degree of evolution of the Soul that is starving for Peace, is such that dependence on another is no longer an option. These individuals are being called to become like Stars, meaning that their gravitational pull will be such that other individuals will simply orbit around them for equilibrium. They are here to lead by example and heal with their auras. I will stress the point lead by being an example to differentiate these individuals with contemporary gurus. Lead by example, does not mean to educate someone else, it means being a beacon to others and offering directions and perspective instead of answers.

I will stop here for now. I hope you enjoyed this very brief introduction on the subject of The Self. For those currently receiving guidance, we will dissect the different components of this subject next semester. Thank you for reading.

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