If you activate your green-ray too early, how do you repair the damage?

[Steppingfeet]

I checked out that book last night and I found paragraph after paragraph of resonation & validation. Wow, the Dark Night of the Soul chapter was so much "my journey explained in a much more succinct way". I took so many notes I nearly copied the whole chapter. And even though I was perusing the book quickly last night because I wanted to glean what it was about, I did a search for "love" and found so many different paragraphs that I recognize in myself too.

So glad you dig! My opinion is that however far we have advanced technologically, however complex our society has become, and however sophisticated our thinking may now be relative to centuries and millennia past, the third-density human journey has been walked many, many times before us. The patterns of illumination, awakening, trial, doubt, initiation, death and rebirth, opening the heart, despair, the valley and the mountaintop have been described and mapped in abundant detail.

Which isn't to say that there is no novelty, or nothing new to discover. Just that we can glean guidance from those who have walked the difficult road before us.

When reading of the mystics, and mystically oriented literature (the Law of One material being one such (awesome) example), I too have found myself. There are any number of personality quirks and shallow desires within me that are explainable in terms of upbringing and conventional psychology, but as to the deeper yearnings and movements of my heart, that which draws me, the vision I hold, etc., is best related in terms of those who have been drawn forward on the same path. Though that path is walked in many costumes and contexts, so the Christian mystic and the Persian mystic each have something unique to bring to the table. There are infinite starting points. BUT, the language of mysticism is universal. Whatever the historical period, all mystics should be more or less mutually intelligible to one another.

Another book: Aldous Huxley's The Perennial Philosophy.

I almost feel like, every video I've done whilst trying to explain to others what I was experiencing (with the hope of catching the attention of ANYONE that was experiencing the same thing as me, but not finding anyone that I could go left-field with), but each video I did, was me expressing the experiences that these mystics in that book were experiencing with a mainstream-overlay. I really think that book you recommended is a must-read for anyone that's gone through what I have. Wow. Thank you.

You have been out in the wilderness, Ches. Completely (seemingly) on your own.

Fortunately near the very the start of my own absolutely bewildering death of an old identity and birth of a new, I had the Law of One (and other helpful sources) as a guiding companion. Not that such sources ever eliminated personal confusion, but they've helped to form a sturdy framework and foundation within which to proceed forward. And have helped to keep the guiding north star visible.

I absolutely applaud your initiative and fearlessness in sharing and documenting your experience as it unfolds for the benefit of others similarly (seemingly) lost.

Though there is ever more information available to guide the spiritual seeker nowadays, waking up on this planet is still fraught with terrible peril. Many are like you who can't reconcile that which is being born within them to the world that had previously been the totality of what they knew. It is a precarious position to be in, and I believe many don't find their way to guidance and subsequently end up in mental institutions, or jail, or distorted in some way.

I believe that if this world offered more reliable and fully accessible service to guide the awakening soul into full realization of who they are, virtually every awakening could transpire relatively safely for the person.

Re: The Doubt.
That's why everything screwed up but at the same time, if I had kept my faith at that time, when it was leading me into some kind of delusion I guess.. it was leading me straight into harm's way. I don't know to describe it but I do think that I had to stop everything before being murdered or seriously harmed by them because of what was transpiring. But yeah... I was "too big for my boots" in way where I thought I was ready for the truth of the universe and really overly-confident in my readiness for more (for EVERYTHING), and really wasn't ready at all.. now I let life unfold at it's own pace, baby-step-by-baby-step

Thanks be that you were able to pull yourself back from that. Lack of discernment is a serious issue. Especially in the chaos of values and standards on this planet, especially for the awakening seeker who is shifting between an old system of values to a new.

What you say above is connecting to what I was feeling but not articulating well. When that higher voltage energy (or increased spiritual vision) flows into the system, it will inevitably magnify pre-existing distortions, blockages, and imbalances within the system. Such that - unless the self has been rendered sufficiently transparent and humble, able to walk its path in a stable and balanced way - that increased energy can, as you indicate, go to the head. : ) Ones evaluations of one's role, or abilities, or identity can become, shall we say, inflated.

That's also why I included the final quote from Ra. And why I love that, I don't know, Buddhist I guess aphorism that asks the enlightened person what he did before becoming enlightened. He replies saying he chopped wood and carried water. Well then, what did he do after becoming enlightened? He chopped wood and carried water.

As Ra says, "The life experience becomes somewhat transformed and the great work goes on."

 

Can't wait for the podcast .. what day does it come out? I downloaded them all the other day and it's what I listen to when I'm driving and when on breaks at work, etc. I love it, I resonate with every single podcast, it's like.. you are "my kind of people" with the conversations you have. What a blessing to be able to do that each week. I've been trying to #FindTheOthers.. others that I can talk to as freely as you guys do about the topics that interest me.

Austin publishes it to the archive website every other Wednesday. So I think next Wednesday (Aug 16) is the next publication date. I'm surprised you can listen to us that much. I feel like we just dryly ramble on. : ) Glad you're finding something helpful in it!
