Directly below is my personal introduction and why I wrote the
above titled work. This is followed by the actual dedication, table
of contents and introduction written in the main body of the book.
This book describes a very unorthodox way of looking at the dynamics
of abuse and ways to heal from them. It might appeal to those
evolutionary and growth-minded people who wish to expand upon - or
go beyond - the old, tired and sometimes ineffective ways these
issues have usually been approached in the past. At the bottom of
this page there is a direct pdf link from which the entire book can
be downloaded.
In addition to the pdf link to this book, there is also a link to
something else I wrote. It is an article, also in pdf which gives a
brief overview of the relationship between the nurturing of and
maintenance of a child's self-esteem and how this is conducive to a
simultaneously developmental, cumulative increase in desire for
continuous educational growth. This article is entitled: "The
Development of Self-Esteem and a desire for Continuous Educational
Growth in Young Learners of English"
My book speaks about some of the imbalances and unhealthy
dynamics that exist within the world, and ways to heal from these;
the above mentioned article describes how healthy, peace-loving
people can be raised beginning from the time they are in their
mother's womb.
Note from the Author
My name is Paul F. Mitchell, BA, BSW. I am just a person who
might have something to offer an audience of like-minded individuals
and groups. You haven't met me before. I am simply sending this book
out to people who might find it useful. Just think of me as a
concerned person living on planet Earth who is trying to do my share
to raise consciousness. I have spent the last 14 years researching
and putting this book together. It began when I wrote a model of
practice in my graduating year of social work 15 years ago and it
grew from there, taking many twisting and spontaneous turns and
different routes along the way. Perhaps I have sent you a copy of
this book before. If I have, it would have been in a rather chaotic
and unrefined state of development. The process of writing this book
has been one of integrating and putting on paper that which I have
been researching, analyzing and realizing for a long time. While
sending this book out in different stages of development, each
successive stage represented a significant development within me.
This process itself reflects the very dynamics I write about. I
delve heavily into the processes and dynamics of Catharsis
throughout the book. I feel that the gradual development of the
physical contents of the book itself had the same alchemical,
dynamic affects on me that I describe in the contents of this
written commentary. At each successive stage of development it
became more real for me.
I don't want anything out of this for myself. Although this work is
copyrighted, I have had this done primarily so that it can not be
used by others to make a profit. Feel free to make as many copies
and pass them around as you want. Think of it as the way the
original healers in the days of Hippocrates thought: if they were
able to offer some healing to their fellow human being, having the
ability to give assistance in this manner was all they wanted in
return. I do hope and am confident that, although very unusual and
certainly unorthodox, I have learned something through my own
experiences, as well as the usual avenues of learning that other
people might benefit from. I think you will find the
reading quite interesting. Whether you are Jewish, Native American,
Muslim or Buddhist, I think people will find this material
quite eye-opening. It illustrates that all people are the same,
literally so. I am as much Jewish and Native as I am Christian of
German heritage. I am as much a Taoist as I am a Muslim. We all were
created from the same ground source.
In addition to the traditional ways of looking at and dealing with
the areas of concern discussed in this book, it would be great
if it gave individuals, groups and organizations further
insight into the subjects covered.
The prime reason I have completed this research is to do my
part in helping to close the gaps that separate people. In addition
to this I include possible ways world society can begin a true
healing from the injuries that humankind has incurred
because of hypocrisy and bigotry, in fact violence of all types.
Everything is related.
In viewing this material, the main thing people have to
utilize is their imagination; to expand perspectives beyond the
narrow, fragmented and constricting ways that prevail at the moment.
There is nothing original in this book. I have brought together a
variety of apparently different perspectives and in fact demonstrate
fairly consistently that these imagined differences are more of an
illusion than anything else. The most important psychological
dimension I include in this social and psychological analysis is a
spiritual one,. This is a dimension that simply includes and
takes into consideration the higher workings of the human psyche.
The most important human dimension to be considered is our children
and the type of Earth that is bequeathed to them for the
future.
What follows is the title and dedication, table of contents
and introduction to my book.

People
This book is dedicated to
Rachel Thraves
The closest thing I ever had to a daughter
My wish is that the symbol she represents to me can
teach young people how to become individuals and
healthy intelligent human beings connected with other
people and their whole environment in health
This book is further dedicated to those people who
have been oppressed, brutalized and mute-lated while
those cowards who commit these acts are allowed to
do so by those who patronizingly display sympathy for
these victims but also cowardly turn a blind eye, simply
to save their own skins. Those who commit or become
accessories to these acts covertly and thereby
hypocritically are to be pitied far more than those who
do not try to hide their actions.

Introduction
The following quotes I place here because of their importance in
the context of Human liberation, especially as it relates to the
Dignity, Psyche and Soul of all Human beings
“If everyone keeps taking an eye for an eye pretty soon the
whole world will be blind”
-- Mahatma Gandhi
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We
are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single
garment of destiny.”
-- Dr. M. L. King Jr.
“Each spiritual tradition looked at in the context of the
particular perspective it is supposed to represent, makes each one
of them as valid as the next. They all spring from the same source,
therefore each one of them express a reality of that source of
creation; but only one aspect of the whole truth. The solution is to
include of them those which people find healthy and beneficial. No
one individual is able to practice (in practice) all religions. If,
however, one is able to perceive the universal truths and themes
expressed in all of the traditions, the segregating effect of labels
can be dropped. Then we can develop intolerance against intolerance.
We can have freedom to express from the heart, to individuate. Then,
it becomes clear we were all saying the same thing in the first
place; just in different ways.
-- Paul Mitchell Calgary, 2001
“I spoke with a woman one time who worked for a law firm
while studying towards becoming a paralegal practitioner. During our
conversation about justice, she said that the outcome of justice,
sometimes, might be a result of who was in power politically and who
was not. This pertained to an innocent person being found guilty or
a guilty person or people being found innocent.…
… ‘I was in such a panic, thinking about everything lately
and especially not hearing anything from Human Rights for almost a
month. I had so much fear and frustration to release that I was
amazed at how much I cried.’ - 9/15-16/02. Based on over 100 pages
of documentation, Human Rights tentatively said there was one
incident where they might be able to help. If I had of pursued this
with Human Rights I would have been opposing someone who had very
powerful friends in organized crime. In all of the documentation
that I had provided this was also a part of the documentation that
might have indicated a possible infringement against the rights of a
member of a group that is protected by the Canadian Human Rights
Commission. Separate from the small segment of documentation
mentioned above, in respect to 99% of what I documented, because I
was not a member of a protected group –“Human Rights protects
the rights of disadvantaged people and groups” – my human rights
were not protected. I point out that I am a member of a group of
people that Human Rights usually targets, while my oppressors were
sometimes members of groups that Human Rights protects. The message
I was being given was that I was not worthy of human rights. “
-- Paul F. Mitchell
This book describes a personal process of searching and growth to
the same extent it contains a social and psychological analysis
How would people feel if there was an individual in their midst
who was in contact with everyone on a Soul level but was attacked by
just about every other person, on a Soul level and on the mundane
plain of existence, with the exception of a few mature and Holy
Souls. I am referring to a person who could read Souls and knew when
they were dishonest or honest, life-taking or life-giving,
unbalanced or healthy. Picture a highly evolved Soul living among
the people who is attacked and forced to carry all of the
projections and reversal’s of everyone in that Soul’s
environment. This would be an attempt by the darkness of humankind
to destroy a gift of The Creator. This would be an example of less
evolved entities sacrificing a highly evolved entity of life for the
purpose of maintaining evil in the world. I don’t think the
Creative Source and the mature Souls would be impressed.
Reading this work only one time will not give an individual the
entire possibility to understand what is being described here. As
with most written pieces of work that deal with in-depth topics,
rereading them will usually give the reader a greater insight into
the nature of what is being put across. Importantly, although it is
not usually good literary style or practice to repeat something that
has already been said, throughout this work I will do this. I will
do this for precisely the reason I just gave in the above,
especially as it relates to having more information to work with
each time something is repeated. Most of our actual thinking takes
place on an unconscious level. As for rereading the material, going
back to it at a later date, after the psyche has had time to “digest”
what it has taken in, different and deeper layers of understanding
will usually transpire. Most importantly, as you read the following
material, as I repeat several times throughout, be very conscious of
your feelings, emotions, and especially any thoughts that you have
while taking in some of the material I present here. Being aware of
these thoughts and physiological reactions that you have will tell
you far more about the accuracy of what I am saying here than the
intellect alone. Another important factor to keep in mind is to try
to empathically place your self in many of the dynamic scenarios I
will be describing throughout this work.
Rather than spreading fear and creating separation by expressing
what this work covers, my wish is that it promotes the exact
opposite. In this material I present a way of closing separating
gaps between people. Although I am not saying anything here that
thousands of people before me have not tried to say, here, I am
trying to do my part to bring everything together, to create an
over-all context and overview, as a way of raising people’s
consciousness so that a true healing among humankind can take place.
My deepest wish is that peace will eventually engulf the world and
that people will learn how to love themselves as well as others; to
love other people as they would love their self. With conscious
practice this will naturally develop into a love for their fellow
human being as if he or she were themselves and extend outward to
include the whole environment.
The purpose of this work is to demonstrate and expose the sources
of bigotry, anarchy and social violence that run rampant throughout
world society today. My main thesis is that most of this bigotry
develops on the unconscious levels of the human psyche, both
individually and collectively. In today’s world and throughout
most societies and cultures, people operate from and hold world
views that stem primarily from extreme competitive ego perspectives,
primarily unconsciously and collectively motivated that drag far
behind technological capabilities and our ability to do violence
against each other.
I am referring to majority worldviews that have become
unconsciously fragmented and dichotomized, affecting in a parallel
fashion what it means to be and how to live as naturally oriented,
peace loving human beings. This is expressed at the fundamental
level throughout the book, with certain sections going into more
detail than others. We discuss the dynamics that produce a worldview
that has focused on and developed a materialistic mindset and way of
being that is a direct expression of a fragmented ego and psyche. It
becomes a two-way, self-replicating and self-perpetuating dynamic.
This is a false ego view that only respects and honors what can be
quantified and categorized, then turned into a profit. Hypocrisy and
bigotry necessarily follows from this worldview that represses
people’s true natures and refuses to acknowledge what it truly
means to be a whole human being.
One of the primary results of this disempowerment of the human
psyche is a focus on, and misuse of power. Misuse of power is a way
that fragmented and disempowered people-psyches try to compensate
for this loss of potential and wholeness; for loss of their health.
It is usually expressed through a need to control and manipulate
others in an attempt to obtain energetic psychic and therefore
physical requirements. These are energetic needs that could easily
be achieved by people in conscious and aware interaction with the
whole of their psycho-physiological and environmental reality.
Reciprocal interaction of people’s inner psychic realities with
their environment would naturally connect them to the human
collective psyche at all levels and also the greater environment,
providing a two-way exchange of energetic needs. The result, as
homeopathy, traditional Asian medicine, American First Nations
traditions and other perspectives have been saying for a long time,
is greater health.
This relative state of unconsciousness that we have fallen into
has usually expressed itself through increased violence to ourselves
and also to others. In reality this separation does not exist and
what we do to others we do to ourselves; what we do to ourselves we
also do to others. Although this violence originates unconsciously,
it eventually manifests itself psychically and physically.
Materialism, as we will explore and see, for the time being refuses
to acknowledge that the individual shares a collective psychic and
physical reality with all other human beings, indeed all life forms
on earth. We share a collective world environment that is alive and
grounded in a natural desire to evolve into higher levels of
integration, complexity and reality.
The astounding advances humankind has made in the development and
use of technology is being misused and, primarily unconsciously,
sabotaging the human psyche and human potential. It would be nice if
humankind could avoid the historical reality demonstrated in
individual as well as collective historical development that –
quantum - jumps in evolution and developmental growth are usually
impelled to move forward by some sort of shock or crisis if that
development has been interrupted in some way. I will qualify this
last statement by saying there is a possibility this frustration in
growth is natures way. Although I will not develop or search these
possibilities in great depth, there is scientific and historical
suggestibility, further demonstrated by some of the world’s wisdom
traditions that when it comes to quantum jumps in development, so to
speak, this is indeed the way nature provides the impetus to propel
evolution forward. In this respect I am not talking about the
concept of survival of the fittest. When it comes to humanity in
today’s world this is simply an outmoded mindset inviting
collective suicide. Because of what has happened world-wide
psychically and socially, environmentally, materially and in a whole
Earth sense, we now find ourselves on the brink of world-wide
catastrophe. Consciousness-raising can change this.
It is awareness developed through consciousness-raising that can
change the destructive use of technology and a technological
mindset, to be instead used for evolutionary purposes. Instead it is
in many cases being used to maintain and exacerbate a war-like and
lower level state of fragmented psychic reality that simply
perpetuates the cycles of bigotry - separation - between people.
This is also a bigotry that goes against nature, in all of its
manifestation, lower and higher, Earthly as well as Heavenly - the
horizontal Earth plane and the vertical Heavenly plane. This latter
plane is not some sort of imaginary place in the starry night sky
but a higher place within the universal and archetypal human psyche
that was made in the creator’s image. It refers to the higher
levels and potentials of the human psyche. First and foremost this
higher potential can only be found and initiated within individuals,
as individuals. In addition, it can only be initiated in individuals
who are in or open to the potential for compassionate connection
with the whole of the human family and in extension, the greater
environment.
We will explore the psychological reality that most of the
decisions, thoughts, emotions and actions of human beings originate
on levels far below the usual levels of conscious awareness, for
most people. Similar to technology developed under controlled
laboratory conditions and then “let loose” in the environment,
unconscious human behavior, individually, between individuals and
therefore collectively, have unforeseen consequences on the
collective environment. When humans operate only from an egocentric
level they maintain this relative state of unconsciousness.
The word occult refers to virtually any hidden aspects of human
and psychic activity and thought. Everything is psyche or mind.
However, compared to times in the past, we have become unconscious
of what was not at one time included in the occult. We are all
responsible for becoming aware of our selves, especially when the
results are violence and harm, to ourselves, to others and to the
larger environment. We are all responsible for stopping the
maintenance of this destructive cycle. To say “I was just
following orders” does not cut the cake. We are all responsible
for making these unconscious dynamics conscious once again.
In respect of the occult, as will be explored in depth in the
following work, the idea of consciousness-raising is important for a
very good reason. We will see that many of the unconscious dynamics
within the psyche, for most people, are manipulated and in fact
controlled and directed by a few elite at the top of the world power
structure. Today there are greater and greater numbers of people,
some more consciously than others, involving themselves in the
occult, striving to expand of their awareness and consciousness.
Unfortunately, most of the people entering into these areas have not
overcome many of the egocentric tendencies society has conditioned
into them. Many of these people have not healed their traumatized
and wounded natures. When people who operate from a wounded and/or
lower ego perspective enter into the occult – ritual, spiritual
and the deep arcane - they run the risk of being controlled by the
more powerful forces, energies and psyches within and at the top of
the (energetic) power structure. This is simply because they do not
know themselves. They are not in control of themselves.
In today’s world these controlling forces are not always of a
benevolent sort. This will be heavily explored, however there is a
very important point I am making here. Most of what we call the
occult, in all areas of society - not just in those areas we would
call the deep arcane, spiritual or psychological realms of the
psyche - is heavily controlled by unnatural processes. Most people
comprising the world’s population are being controlled by these
forces at the top of a power pyramid. This is a crime against
humanity and is the reverse of what nature (The Creator) intended.
The only solution to this is to completely open the doors for
everyone, to awaken people’s curiosity, imagination and especially
a true sense of justice, equality and human liberation. We have to
expose the hidden potential within all human beings. This is the
heritage of all people. It can only be achieved by exposing many of
the shadowy forces and energies that have taken over the operating
controls of human destiny and in many ways hampering or preventing
humankind from evolving and realizing its full potential.
The separation, fragmentation and bigotry that subsequently
develops as long as we remain unconscious (of the previously
mentioned dynamics) results in the formation of groups that operate
primarily on an unconscious level and primarily for reasons of
survival. However, given the nature of the dynamics that create
these groups in the first place, although they attempt to shield
their members from other groups, there is always a domino and totem
affect within groups where members overpower those weaker than
themselves within the group, either psychically or physically. This
is nature’s way in some cases. The problem is that with human
beings, given the population of humanity on the Earth today, this
primordial way of “surviving” is quite obsolete.
Under natural conditions and circumstances, evolution is ever
expanding. This takes place both horizontally, embracing the
collective and lower levels of the human psyche and Earth
environment and vertically into the higher realms of psychic
potential. The vertical movement is usually initiated by
individuals, followed by the rest of the human collective. I am not
talking about dictators and leaders only in a political sense. I am
talking about Galileo’s, Einstein’s, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin
Luther King Jr.’s - leaders of emancipation and spiritual
development. I am speaking about revolutionary individual
developments in a psychological, cultural and evolutionary sense. We
will explore what helps development and what hinders it. We will
look at the psychic dynamics of empathic and interdependent
connections with others and what hinders that from developing. We
will look at how all higher development requires integration and
maintenance of all developments that precedes it. Without this
maintenance a sort of crumbling takes place individually,
collectively, socially and environmentally.
We will see that many of the symptoms of this psychic
fragmentation are looked upon as the various problems within society
and how this can be remedied - especially the problem of these
symptoms being looked upon as the causes while the real causes are
ignored. For example, as touched on above, even if we don’t
consciously acknowledge it, the fact is that everything that occurs
within individuals and between individuals is entirely reciprocal
and cyclical, whether of health or unhealthy imbalance. We will
explore how this reciprocity can be put to productive and creative
purposes rather than destructive.
Solid individual freedom to develop as discreet individual
entities is the only way true interdependent and creative
reciprocity can take place. Connected interaction has to develop
from freedom not coercion, whether it is conscious or unconscious,
psychological or physical. This is the true definition of health.
Health is also defined by ever increasing levels of consciousness
being attained. This recognizes that most of what takes place on the
“unconscious” levels of the individual and collective human
psyche takes place consciously on a level that most of us have lost
contact with. A healthy recognition of the horizontal psychic plane
as well as the vertical upward plane and dimension of psychic growth
is crucial. Conscious integration of these two dimensions and their
dynamics naturally results in optimal health.
Balance is the important factor to consider in most areas of
human activity. Both balance and imbalance is mirrored in healthy
and unhealthy worldviews. Provided there is a dynamic balance in
place, the more conscious and receptive a worldview is the more
complex and therefore highly evolved it becomes. Anything taken to
an unbalanced extreme will set all the other factors inherent in
wholeness off kilter as well. The first casualty in almost all cases
of imbalance is a solid and well-grounded consciousness. Separation
resulting in nihilism, oppression and narcissistic isolation are
consequences of imbalance. We will look at the antidote to this and
that is the development of true empathy and compassion.
One of the symptoms of our materialistic worldview is that,
unconsciously, humankind has reached a point where people work to
maintain a market driven society that has stopped working for the
benefit of most people. In an ego sense this is an expression of a
disempowered humanity working to maintain a lower level,
materialistic mindset. Collectively, this mindset has stripped most
people of all but a competitive level mentality that keeps most of
the world population in a state of psychical and physical survival
mode and almost 100% of humankind struggling to maintain some sense
of interdependence and dignity, individually and collectively.
Scientific philosopher Ken Wilber’s concept of holarchy
demonstrates quite nicely that in order to evolve upward in an
evolutionary sense, people and in fact all life, in virtually all
respects, have to maintain an integrated, reciprocal and rooted
existence from which they emerged. Holarchy also demonstrates
that, although no one perspective has all of the answers and
solutions to existence, they are all valid in a partial sense. All
of them provide a partial picture of reality but they all have to be
looked upon in an integrated and whole context. In order to exist in
a healthy, evolving way, people have to maintain a psychic and in
extension, physical integration with themselves, with other people
and with the whole of their natural environment. This existential
way of being balances both the horizontal Earth plane and the
vertical Heavenly plane of existence and potential.
The existing majority worldview, which operates from a
strictly ego perspective, expressed most completely through
materialism, is not possible to maintain indefinitely. Not only does
(human) evolution stop, in many cases it goes into reverse. Many of
the symptoms of this regression we will explore throughout this
work. However, the main form expressing this lost integration I
spoke of above is a world-wide collective competitiveness and
bigotry that has stripped most people of any real integration of
body, mind and spirit; many of us have been stripped of true
dignity; replacing dignity with a superficial ego-centricity that is
more concerned with image rather than a character built of quality.
Expressed collectively, it is mirrored within individuals in varying
degrees.
Violence physically and psychically expressed, especially
directed towards people that try to speak about or address these
dynamics directly and honestly, is a symptom of the inquisitorial
and egotistically repressed soul of humankind; the unconscious rule
by a shadow controlled super-ego, in a depth-psychological sense. In
the middle ages religions were responsible for the inquisition. In
2008 governments – especially communist/fascist, the churches,
witches, the politically-correct, various lobby groups – all are
inquisitors, each of a different stripe but all of the stripes are
found on the same zebra (continuum).We will explore the symptoms of
this psychic imbalance in the following chapters.
The conditioning factors involved in maintaining this mindset, as
consistently stressed throughout, are perpetrated primarily
unconsciously by the vast majority of people. The result is that
finger pointing and blame cannot really be performed. However,
negative and unhealthy energies have to uncovered and healed. This
does raise the question: when unhealthy energies possess people,
thereby hurting themselves but also other people around them,
including the living environment, do you blame the energies and
actions but not the person? What about someone whose (unseen
con-like) actions are apparently benevolent but in reality very
harmful, in a very subtle way? What do we do alleviate or heal these
dynamics without perpetuating the cycle of negativity? As I have
stressed, the perpetrator may not be aware of the severity of his or
her energies and similarly most people are not aware of the
magnitude of their negative contributions to the collective psyche.
NOTE: Some healers and life-givers are aware of these energies
and dynamics and their sources. It is these people who have been
persecuted, muted and executed throughout history. As you read this
book think about these things. They are questions responsible people
have to ask themselves.
So, this repression results in a type of acting and theatrical
performance. All finger-pointing – as far as accusations of blame
in the sense of saying “This is where it started!... ”That one
factor is the reason it happened…” would do is exacerbate the
situation and is in fact a prime example of the hypocrisy and
repression of human reality that precipitated the imbalance in the
first place. This is an example of “blaming the victim” that we
have to overcome. Having said this, the fact is virtually everyone
is responsible; and everyone is responsible for uncovering and
healing unhealthy energies and dynamics within themselves, everyone.
Some day humanity will realize this truth.
The main question people have to ask themselves is who benefits
from what I have been describing? The word, “profits” speaks
volumes in looking towards an answer. However, even this word,
profits, only guides one towards the initial beneficiaries of these
dynamics.
We will see that reductionism will have to be replaced with an
appreciation for integration and wholeness at all levels and states
of individual and collective existence and development. This is the
only way true health can be achieved and maintained - by an
appreciation for the quality of human existence rather than a
consumerist focus on quantity.
I mentioned the subsequent hypocrisy and bigotry that results
from a world which operates from a primarily ego-perspective. Sadism
and masochism, primarily unconsciously motivated, is a widespread
phenomena and symptom of the mindset I am talking about. This is a
symptom of alienation and lack of integration within individuals and
people. It has more of an impact throughout society and the world
than most would imagine. What this demonstrates is a type of
self-hate that perpetuates the machine-like cycle within a
prescriptive world cult-ture.
When I use the word prescriptive, it denotes a mindset that
categorizes and divides everything into parts, assigning people to
machine-like roles within society. This is mirrored in psychic
development, or lack thereof, within individuals and the human
collective. This is the opposite of a proscriptive mindset where
people maintain as much of a whole and reciprocal interaction with
their environment as possible, in whatever they do, especially work.
It is integrative and holistic. These dynamics, both prescriptive
and proscriptive, will be explored in depth and within many
apparently separate and diverse areas; in the apparently different
ways in which they are expressed. What I have been describing is
very political and it is an understatement to say that in the
context that I am saying it, the personal is political.
I will draw from the wisdom and teachings of both the Eastern and
Western areas of the world to demonstrate that the only way to
achieve a healthy integration and wholeness is by a psychological
process known as centering. This process recognizes both the
horizontal plane of existence, as well as the vertical movement of
evolution, represented by an integrated, individual psyche. This
demonstrates recognition of the inter-psychic connection with other
people and the larger environment. The vertical plane recognizes the
higher potentials of the psyche and is demonstrated by upward
movement in evolution of spiritual or conscious development. The
first plane is primarily feminine in nature while the second dynamic
is primarily masculine. However, both planes have a blend of both
energetic patterns. These distinctions have nothing to do with
gender. One has to do with embracing and integration: this is
feminine. The other dynamic, masculinity, makes this possible by
providing the energy necessary for integration; and the energy
necessary for the creation and expression of consciousness. Feminine
form provides the vessel; masculine energy provides the light to see
what is in the vessel. Both energetic dynamics have to be present in
a mutually reciprocal way in order for healthy life and existence to
be a reality.
One of the symptoms expressing a lack of this existential health
that we will look at is an addictive mindset and impulse within
world society and how we are conditioned to it. One of the cruelest
expressions of this stunted emotional psychic growth is pedophilia
and an obsession with and distortion of a sacred expression of
humanity and life - sexuality. In fact, sexuality, or rather,
sensuality, is one of the casualties that will be discussed at great
length. It is sexuality that has become one of the most obscene ways
in which sadism and masochism or just plain materialistic,
meaningless lust, on many different levels, is expressed. It is also
one of the most widespread methods used for energetic theft,
something that we will heavily delve into and research. Sadism and
masochism is expressed in psychic ways as much as it is in physical
ways - in fact more so. This symptomatic tendency has distorted and
perverted what should be a most beautiful expression of humankind
and human interdependence.
When we look at the potential of the human psyche we will see it
goes far beyond what most people consider realistic. For example, we
will look at what used to be known as “female intuition” and how
it has become degraded and pathologized into something called
paranoia. This is an example of how the human psyche has been mute-lated.
It is an example of how an artificially created “pathology” is
being used in order to create profits in a materialistic market
driven world while at the same time being used to murder the human
spirit and human potential.
In looking at the above, we can begin to see the way in which
power can be misused. Power must be equated with responsibility,
especially when that power involves a potential or in fact contains
within it a power differential between the powerful person and other
people. This would mean that there is therefore a potential to hold
power over other people and misuse that power. The lethal
combination in these kinds of situations is increased egocentricity,
cynicism and unconscious hatred on the part of the powerful person.
In looking at these dynamics we will be looking at the nature of
cults. A primary characteristic of cults is one-way control, from
the top down. One of the main results of this type of control is
dependence and the creation of an addictive personality. The two
dynamics are definitely related. In respect of cults or groups, the
important dynamic to look at is the one-way flow of information and
control, with a resulting domino-like effect. Society is almost
completely comprised and saturated with these dynamics on a
continuum ranging from mild to severe. I already mentioned one of
the causes creating a “perceived” need to perpetrate
illegitimate control: regression. The only way to reverse these
dynamics is purposeful consciousness-raising. Consciousness-raising
can result in an increased awareness of what is taking place. These
dynamics are present from the family up through to various
institutions, national levels of government and now international
level organizations, including multinationals, etc.
When attempting to leave cult-like groups, most unconscious
people leave one situation only to go to another cult-like group
because of conditioning and familiarity. This is very similar to
situations where abused people leave one abusive relationship only
to gravitate to similar situations. This dynamic is well documented
and researched and hardly requires discussion. All we need look at
are situations where battered people in relationships go from one
abusive relationship to another.
People involved in spiritual or psychological occult practices
gain power because of increased levels of consciousness. This power
can be used to liberate people or to manipulate people. In most
occult groups I have been involved with, because of a lack of
self-knowledge the people I have witnessed allow ego to interfere
and the result is conscious or unconscious manipulation of their
environment, including people. Speaking for myself, when I initially
became involved in these areas, in addition to reasons related to
employment, scholarly and spiritual interests, there were also
self-defensive dynamics present, as there are with many people. All
of these dynamics occur in most groups, not just the spiritually or
psychologically oriented groups, in a relative way. As I said, they
occur on a continuum. Remember, the word occult simply refers to “what
is hidden” - whatever that knowledge or information may be.
A symptom of manipulation and control is depression and other
so-called mental illnesses. This is because of a resulting draining
of masculine or libinal energy, as I will continue to mention
repeatedly and with in-depth analysis of the actual
psycho-physiological dynamics. I will discuss many of the very
institutions within society that increase these types of dynamics
that result in psychic imbalances, of which a very pronounced
symptom is increased dependence, while their conscious mandates are
to alleviate them. “Treatment” is usually combined with an
increase in dependency, which in itself depletes people of energy.
In discussing the dynamics in these areas always keep in mind the
people involved – the people employed in these areas - have been
wounded, conditioned and perpetuate these dynamics unconsciously.
Sexual exploitation and the use of sexuality in the manipulation of
people can be perpetrated as much on a psychic level as a physical
one.
All forms of dependency, enmeshment and assimilation – as
opposed to conscious integration - allow or encourage the use of
control and manipulation. On some level on a continuum this results
in a form of psychic possession. In fact, all forms of conditioning,
and this includes a large segment of society, is responsible for
doing this sort of thing. We can look at the ever-constricting “official”
definition of what it means to be normal. When I use the word
constricting in this manner, I am referring to the ever-greater
tendency to officially increase methods of control over large
populations of people. This This then becomes a tool used by various
groups in society to categorize and subsequently label and scapegoat
people. This does more than simply turn these people into
unconscious sacrificial victims. This will also be looked at in
greater depth.
The most sensitive people in society who psychically recognize
the above dynamics are quite often labeled mentally ill and are
psychically imprisoned and controlled, usually by medication, to
avoid any type of attitudinal changes within society and
subsequently any healthy improvements. One of the most prevalent
methods used to prevent awareness of these dynamics from becoming
known is by making psychically aware people look or in fact become
insane. This is a tool used to make these realities look like
psychotic or delusional hallucinations. This is the main way society’s
awareness of the realities of manipulation and population control
are kept under lock and key (pun intended).
Energy draining related to sexual exploitation and the resulting
ability to manipulate is one of the main reasons sexual exploitation
is used and is perpetrated by weak and wounded people. This is one
of society’s most widespread and horrendous methods of
exploitation and control. I will not explain these dynamics in any
detail in this introduction. However, I will give one very obvious
example although the sexual exploitation it expresses might be more
hidden. In Hollywood Satanic cults, that is, in ones which operate
on a conscious level although behind closed doors, there is one
characteristic way they keep people from escaping from the cult.
Cult members are usually ones that hold positions of power and
influence within society. Even if they don’t hold high positions
of power and influence, when someone tries to escape, they are
powerful enough to make the stories told by people who try to escape
look unbelievable and the person telling them look crazy. The
escapees are usually powerless young people. What the person has
experienced is usually so horrendous, sometimes and usually, the
cult members have no difficulty in making the person telling of
these experiences look crazy. These victims are then re-victimized
by other people or institutions and sometimes by cult members in
these institutions. I will expand upon these dynamics in reference
to both Hollywood cults and true Satanic cults that operate almost
exclusively on the unconscious or subconscious realms of the
individual and collective psyche.
In looking at these nasty tendencies within the psyches of
people, being consciously aware of the whole self or psyche is the
only way to not realize the lesser admirable, possibly deeply
repressed aspects and dynamics of an individual. Hollywood or “open”
style Satanic cults do consciously what most of society does
unconsciously. This is accomplished by a collective super-ego that
is controlled and dominated by a shadow infested collective psyche
operating primarily from the lower - ego and below - levels of the
psyche. This is especially true of angry energies and angry people
who add to or allow themselves to be caught in these areas. As
mentioned above, this is why anyone getting involved with openly “spiritual”
occult practices must be aware of themselves as much as possible.
This can otherwise allow wounded people to become or remain
perpetrators and continue to commit crimes against other people.
There are some groups of people this applies to more than others
and I will explore some of these groups. However, in all cases it is
important for people to use some common sense and to ask questions
for themselves. When these dynamics are not consciously made aware,
people end up doing the very things they condemn in others without
being aware of their own hypocrisy. As most psychologists and people
who work with other people, especially survivors, know, if a person
responds to situations with anger, this will usually indicate a
degree of guilt in whatever the situation represents. Nature meant
anger to be a short-term emotional reaction to impel someone into
action; if hung onto it quickly becomes hate. In more developed
people, through the development of discipline, emotions such as
anger are by-passed. In these cases, as soon as these emotions stir
within they are recognized, immediately refined and redirected
upwards into the higher functioning areas of the whole psychic
system. This is only possible when there is a high level of
consciousness present. This is what Eastern disciplines and
traditions such as the various forms of martial arts teach, as an
example.
In looking at the darker aspects of groups, cults and human
behavior, in the occult repertoire of terms one aspect of “black
magic” is defined as the draining of the masculine or libinal
energy. By using common sense and asking questions I will leave it
up to the people to verify this for them-selves, after reviewing
much of the information encountered throughout this presentation. A
deficiency or imbalance of masculine or feminine energies,
frequently a result of conditioning and trauma, will usually put in
place or perpetuate the above-mentioned dynamics.
If people scoff at the realities that I am referring to, all I
ask is that they consider the things I will be discussing seriously.
Everything I speak about is supported by thousands of years of
knowledge. In addition to modern scientific support, I have no doubt
that most of the activities referred to will reverberate with almost
everyone. I ask people to monitor their responses as they read this
presentation. If they are honest with themselves what they
experience will speak volumes.
In looking at these dynamics and how unconscious dynamics are
activated or deactivated, we will look at rituals and their use.
There are rituals that can be consciously performed. However, just
about every aspect and level of human activity involves the
activation of psychic energies and realities by ritual. Ritual,
through the use of symbols, the parallels between physical and
conscious activity and resulting movements within activate the
deeper areas and contents of the inner psyche. Symbols activate
aspects of the psyche we would not usually be aware of. Ritual can
either be used to unite humanity or to separate them. We will look
at both types of these dynamics.
When symbols or ritual activate certain aspects of the psyche,
the assimilation of emotional responses and data are not usually
filtered through the critical apparatus of the intellect. This is
why rituals, especially when performed “consciously” within
spiritual occult settings have to be done with knowledge of the
intent behind them and awareness of the possible outcomes. This is
especially important in low magic that involves manipulation of the
environment, including people. This aspect of the occult also
applies to all occult knowledge and their applications,
technologically speaking and especially in areas of mental health
where employees have actual control over people.
It is the aspects of low magic and environmental manipulation
that have to be considered more than high “magic”. The latter is
usually geared towards “knowing thy self” and the joining with
the source of life. In the case of low magic, when tribalism,
bigotry and separation (hate) enter into the ritual, the more
powerful the outcome is: the more powerfully destructive the
outcome. This is especially true when the rituals focus on symbols
and archetypal energies, or even accumulated negative energies, that
resonate within the collective psyche. This takes place on a
continuum. Although low magic can be used to heal, it can also be
used as an illegitimate type of manipulation. Scapegoating and any
form of hypocrisy and oppression is a form of black magic that
drains people of life force. As mentioned above, examples of these
types of activities will be discussed by using, in some cases,
mundane examples everyone will recognize. Many people within society
who are aware of these levels and realities, unfortunately, work for
the “system” or themselves in an egotistical sense. This will be
discussed.
The most sensitive people who are aware, intuitively, of these
realities are usually subdued in various ways, “sacrificed” in
fact because of the energies they have access to as well as the
threats they present to the powers that maintain the status quo;
they are sacrificed more ruthlessly than any other segments of the
population. This was mentioned above and we will discuss this at
length. Mute-lation is the usual result.
With most perpetrators, it is only by the awakening of
consciousness and conscience that the oppressors will more than
likely stop their actions. Many would be quite amazed, “Who
me?.... I had no idea…” A theme I will repeatedly state
throughout is that when we harm others, we are harming ourselves.
Can a person recall a time they hurt someone and felt bad
afterwards? As mentioned above, oppressed people, in many cases try
to compensate for their disempowerment by oppressing those beneath
them. This is the domino effect and is a crucial factor in the
cyclical perpetuation of these dynamics. I will stress many items of
importance over and over to get this point across. Fear is one of
the main tools used to keep these dynamics in place. The world and
society is saturated in fear. The use of fear is most cruelly used
by perpetrators in committing childhood sexual abuses, even if it is
coated with candies and words of praise.
Taking into consideration all of the dynamics I am discussing, on
the unconscious levels of the collective unconscious, these
accumulated energies become shadow(y) hate and revenge- seeking
entities in their own right. This is the shadow from depth
psychology. It is usually combined with the collective superego and
the lower level primordial aspects of the individual and collective
psyche. As we will see, many of these dynamics, because people are
unconscious of their true natures, result in antagonism between
groups, men and women and other identified concentrations of people.
Consciousness-raising can remedy this situation.
In considering the reality of the interpenetration of psyches,
consider the aspect of being in mass rallies, spectators in large
sports events and so forth. Unless a person is very aware, it is
quite easy to get caught up in the much more primordial and lower
level energies of the mass mind.I will present a fair amount of
information that should provide enough grist for the mill that
people will seriously consider this material.
Consider the effects of sadism, masochism and in fact any sort of
violence: emotional, psychological and physical. Consider the
above-mentioned energy drain in mass atmospheres. Then consider
where all of that energy goes. It does not benefit the sadist,
except for a short time, certainly not the masochist and after a
mass rally, once people come back to down to Earth, everyone feels
drained. On a collective level, where does all this energy go?
Certainly not for constructive purposes. Consider: shadows or
blackness sucks up and absorbs light and energy. However, light and
awareness creates and radiates energy, like the sun. I will provide
several real life examples: physical (physics), metaphysical,
philosophical and other scientific documentation and facts for
people to use in conjunction with intelligence when considering
these questions. Groups and cults are major tools used by the
collective, in manners described above and throughout this book, in
perpetuating these dynamics.
A state of mind that follows from all of these dynamics is not
only a dependence on the “expert” but also authoritarian
leadership. These dynamics are present within almost all groups.
Some of the more obvious ones can be called cults. I will give you
examples of this latter type of organization, the less obvious forms
cults can take and especially how the dynamics of conditioning are
implemented.
During these sections I will explore the idea of psychic retreats
that people make because of these dynamics and the resulting psychic
imbalances such as Dissociative Identity Disorder, so-called
schizophrenia and so forth. During these discussions, consider the
emotion fear, which is nothing more than an aspect of a false, in
some cases regressive and certainly immature ego. Consider how these
dynamics attempt to maintain and perpetuate a cyclical situation as
the one described above.
I will take a look at how a person’s and people’s environment
and their perceptions within that environment are distorted in order
to maintain control over people. Most of this is unconscious,
although there are ways in which it is consciously maintained. I am
referring to propaganda, subliminal suggestion, through to
advertising and the mass media. Only rigid skeptics and
closed-minded people will be able to deny validity, at least to some
extent, to what I am saying.
Regression in development, such as I have been describing,
actually causes people to see things in reverse. Think of it. If a
person denies realities within them selves, they will hypocritically
project and see it in other people. This is the whole purpose and
subsequent result of using scapegoats. People deny things within
them selves and project it onto someone else and then blame the
other person for the very thing or things they are guilty of. When
the ancient people first created the scapegoat, during ritual, it
was originally done to real goats. They “blamed” the goat for
their own shortcomings once they “prayed” their undesirable
traits into it before sending it off into the wilderness. This was
an actual ritual that will be mentioned later in this book. After
thousands of years, this ritual has created a psychological mind-set
for the collective psyche, found within most individuals with some
exceptions. Looking at the whole interactive nature of the psyche,
it follows logically that the whole of the human being and in
extension the collective psyche has become characterized by this
state of body, mind and being. As will be explored, thousands of
years later this tendency of psychic reversal has developed into the
origination of conditions such as turrets, dyslexia and so forth.
You see, in addition to mass repressions, we are not using goats
anymore. We create human scapegoats and act in bigoted ways. We are
using real people. This is “seeing” in reverse. It affects and
is affected by body and mind interaction, including responses by
deeply repressed and unrepressed unconscious material. This is being
expressed by the emergence of new diseases, rampant social violence
and so forth.
I’m simply asking people to keep an open mind as they read this
material and think logically and with feeling as they review what I
say. Put emotion, sentimental conditioning and propaganda aside.
Think with your whole person, with your heart as you read this.
Experience what and how you feel as these realities are considered.
Especially consider the mute-lated human psyches reaction to this;
both individually and collectively. Especially consider how this
relates to the widespread epidemics of violence throughout society
and the world.
Consider the nature of bigotry, hypocrisy and the subsequent
tendency for people to therefore see things in reverse. Because of
this tendency people actually create situations to induce people
they accuse to fulfill their accusations. It is no understatement to
say accusers should be cross examined just like those persons
accused, of whatever they are accused of, in most instances where
widespread public exposure (eye-witnesses) is lacking. I feel this
should actually apply even to polygraph tests. People haven’t
changed that much since the days of the inquisition and witch
burnings. Those particular circumstances were prime opportunities
for hate-filled and jealous people to claim innocent victims. This
is quite dramatically the nature of hypocrisy and scapegoating. By
being aware of the usual ways in which people are scapegoated and
bigoted against, when brought to light, we can counter the
psychological dynamics of this process. This will be discussed in
some detail in this work.
When psychology is reduced to the material and genetic levels in
trying to understand these dynamics, preventing learned and aware
individual and in extension public knowledge of these realities, the
only recourse is consciousness-raising. This would be similar to
what many oppressed groups have done throughout history. In respect
of the dynamics I am speaking about, people should become concerned
about possible loss of civil liberties and government population
control. Seriously consider these things as you read this material.
Is this why official medicine, as one example, looks at mysticism,
mystical abilities or even “female” intuition and other
demonstrations of raised levels of consciousness in such a paranoid
and persecutory fashion?
The psychological creation of addictions followed by the
unconscious and sometimes not so unconscious maintenance of an
addictive society effectively decreases collective and individual
levels of consciousness. This also acts as a form of medication that
keeps people at earlier and less evolved stages of psychic
development. In this state, people are more easily manipulated and
turned into consumers that provide a market driven society with what
it needs.
As people read this material, feel how you feel, what you feel
and as I will say many times, closely monitor your reactions to the
things I am saying. If there has been one recurring theme throughout
all of history it is the truth that when some individuals initiate a
change in the common perspective of things, they are usually scorned
at and not taken very seriously. Galileo was imprisoned, people
thought Columbus was crazy for thinking the world was round, Martin
Luther King was assassinated and do you think people seriously
thought about walking on the moon that many years ago? Consider the
truth that I am by no means the first person to say the things I am
saying. In addition to the written word we can look at art, film and
other forms of poetic expressions that attempt to say similar
things. Art is not fiction. It expresses what is submerged in the
depths of the psyche; contents that are struggling to break out and
be expressed. When it is not expressed, the repressing dynamics
increases the size of the collective shadow that depth-psychological
literature speaks of.
I will discuss and explore in-depth, albeit sometimes extreme
examples of psychic fragmentation: a dissociation identity crisis.
What used to be called multiple personality disorder, known today as
Dissociation Identity Disorder is perhaps one of the most obvious
examples. I will also discuss forms of psychosis that can actually
be caused or worsened by societies various addictions-medications,
especially by misuse of some of the pharmaceutically manufactured
psychotropic medications. The ability of a true person’s self to
emerge under natural conditions can be a prodigious achievement. In
today’s world, consciousness-raising is the only thing that can
place people’s natural drive to achieve these higher levels of
consciousness and psychic development back into an evolutionary
mode. I am talking about integration and individuation. In the above
respect I will relate a short dream I had several years ago, very
soon after I started using anti-depressants.
Dream In this dream, I was standing in front of a public
alcohol-serving bar counter. The bar-tender, however was not just
serving drinks. He was also serving Prozac. Most of the patrons of
the bar actually seemed to prefer this over the usual depressant
known as alcohol. I think this dream sums up very well what I said
in the above. It is a type of addiction that throws people
off-course from true conscious awareness. Interestingly, I never
even considered what this dream was trying to say at that time; not
until quite recently. Years after I had that dream and quite some
time since I have had any need for any type of psychotropic
medication, while doing serious research in these areas I remembered
this dream and now see what it was trying to tell me.
The dynamics I am discussing here will also be discussed in
relation to cults and cult-like groups and how they operate. These
dynamics are present throughout all of society, with more obvious
levels of expression in some groups and some geographical areas of
the world than in others.
I will demonstrate how psychic fragmentation and manipulation by
the shadow-super ego of society and its various tools of enforcement
are very sexual in the sense of psychic invasion and rape. This can
be far more devastating in effect than physical levels of
violations. The main reason for this is because in our material
culture any physical forms of violation are usually recognized for
what they are and dealt with by law enforcement and the justice
system, by society. This is not the case at the moment with the
psychic invasions that I am speaking of. I will discuss both
physical and psychological forms of trauma induced by abuse and for
lack of a better word, sacrificial torture.
In various sections of this work I will give clear in-depth
examples where repression, bigotry and victimization of certain “unseen”
groups and individuals result in oppression of a sort that appears
to be perpetrated unconsciously. I suppose in some respects it might
be unconscious. However, I am going to demonstrate instances where
the oppressed can become the oppressors. I will show how, when
people who have been oppressed in the past and in the present begin
to be liberated from their oppression or even in cases where it has
stopped, if there is not a clear understanding of the dynamics that
created the oppression in the first place, the formerly-oppressed
quite often become the oppressors because of conditioned dynamics. I
will illustrate the need for what has been wounded, repressed and
placed out of conscious awareness to become uncovered and healed. If
it is not healed, it sometimes returns in the form of revenge. This
has been a recurring theme in the history of humankind.
In tandem with the above dynamics, I will develop an exploration
of how some of society’s institutions can create environments
conducive to making or helping the formerly oppressed become
oppressors. I will investigate how these dynamics affect everyone in
society and the human collective psyche, consciously and
unconsciously. What these dynamics represent, quite simply, is a
hypocritical perpetuation of the very aspects of oppression that one
group of people condemn in others and then do themselves. This is
not exclusive to any one group either. This dynamic creates an
environment that maintains illusional differences and divisions
between people. Perfect examples of these dynamics are abuses that
take place during the implementation and use of political
correctness. In addition to what I just mentioned above, political
correctness can forcibly and coercively induce people to apply
biased opinions and viewpoints onto themselves and others and quite
often to everyone’s detriment, in turn creating oppression. In no
cases can coercion and intolerance overcome intolerance and
differences. The only type of intolerance that can be acceptable in
society is intolerance of anyone being hurt or oppressed.
In relation to all of the above, I will explore the nature of
healing relationships. I will discuss, in depth, ways that
demonstrate the need, in many cases, for would-be healers to in fact
heal themselves from psychic fragmentation and discover their own
inner sources of bigotry. I will look at how many apparently healthy
and well-meaning people in fact can become oppressors and
perpetrators. I will show that healing and being healed has to be a
mutual affair. A state of true empathy and compassion must be a
living reality with the healer in order for a true healing
relationship to exist. This necessarily involves a two-way exchange
and recognizes the truth that no one person is perfect. All people
can improve and evolve. That is the whole purpose of life on Earth.
In the final section of this book, I will explore the dynamics of
hard-core ritual abuse. I illustrate there are two distinct levels
of ritual abuse. One level involves obvious perpetrators and the
abuse they commit they do in blatantly obvious ways and can most
easily be recognized in the crimes of physical sexual abuse,
especially within obvious cults. However, I will also discuss the
less obvious forms of abuse, especially sexual, that take place on
the unconscious and more subtle levels of awareness.
Ritual abuse is also a dynamic perpetrated through the creation
and maintenance of hypocrisy. The targets of this form of ritual
abuse are the various scapegoats to be found throughout society. I
will clearly draw parallels between the two forms of ritual abuse.
I will use personal experiences from my own life to demonstrate
the way cult or cult-like dynamics affected my life and the
challenges I had to overcome. The main tool that I had at my
disposal was the ability to develop awareness of the dynamics that
were taking place around and within me. The methods I used to
achieve this aware consciousness was by using various techniques of
consciousness-raising. I used tried and true methods of meditation
from both Eastern and Western traditions until I developed a unique,
personalized form that suited me. In other words, the tried and true
forms gave me a blueprint from where I could start to find my own
true style and individuated way of meditation and intra-psychic
mediation - of being. In fact, it is only when a person develops
this awareness from within that one finds the real self. In
extension of this, I have heard it said that a true teacher is a
person whose greatest desire in their thirst to teach, in all cases,
is to teach a student and have the pleasure of seeing the student
surpass them in ability. This is the characteristic of a true
teacher. This is also the mark of a true healer. In both cases the
person is helping to empower someone. The opposite of this would be
to create dependency and idol worship. A true teacher or healer is
humble.
The final chapter of this book discusses a realistic Christian
perspective alongside a 1st Nations American one, interspersed with
elements of various other religions and spiritual traditions. The
final conclusion of the book explores certain climactic elements of
the Christian New Testament. Although I will obviously discuss the
last chapter from a very psychological perspective it is in the
Conclusion I will speak from a supremely psychological and because
it deals with the higher, very spiritual workings of the psyche.
Towards the end of the book I will show how increasing levels of
consciousness and wholeness cannot adequately be put into words to
describe the actual processes and views that subsequently develop
from within. The closest way this can be done, in respect of the
more highly evolved areas, is by the psychic manifestations of
spiritual imagery produced by the mind. Unique to an individual’s
culture and material origins, religious or spiritual imagery is the
usual way the human psyche expresses these levels of consciousness.
It is only through spiritual imagery that aware expressions of this
conscious level, of spiritual wholeness can be seen. Later in this
work, in most cases, I will draw upon and use spiritual imagery and
draw as well upon personal experiences and expressions to
demonstrate an experiential appreciation and understanding for the
dynamics I am trying to describe intellectually. I urge people to
closely monitor and be very aware of any physiological, emotional
and intellectual reactions they may have, to develop a feeling-toned
understanding, an appreciation for the processes they experience as
they study the material I present here. As I have already said, a
person’s reactions and especially intuitive feelings they have can
say a lot more about the truth than can the intellect alone.
Throughout this work I describe the dynamics of meditation. I
will illustrate that meditation is not a religion, some form of
exotic and weird cult activity or anything remotely similar to that.
Meditations take on many different forms and methods. In its most
simple description, meditation is simply any form of concentration
that follows thoughts, emotions or feeling in such a way that body,
mind and spirit are united: they become synchronized. It teaches a
person to become comfortable and accept everything one encounters in
the mind and body, and letting it go. Tolerance is developed to the
point that the various thoughts, feelings and emotions no longer
have a hold on the individual. Tolerance is developed to the point
where the mind is actually able to attain clear spots free of the
clutter of thoughts and emotions, even feelings. Thoughts and
associated emotions are primarily creations of the individual and
collective ego. Once free spaces within the psyche have been found,
movement upward to higher levels of awareness can be attained. The
higher levels of awareness are free of the Earth-like gravity and
obsession with egotistical thoughts and fears. Importantly, the
foundations or roots from which a person emerges, their cultures,
will usually determine the best methods for an individual during the
journey to wholeness. However, it most certainly depends on the
individual and only the individual can determine the method best
suited for themselves, not someone else. The only exception
to this is when a true teacher can be found for this purpose. After
having read and studied the dynamics above and throughout the rest
of this work, I know people would then have a better idea for
themselves what they, as individuals need or require. In fact, that
is one of my main points being made throughout this book: most
people have the God-given and natural ability to heal themselves. To
give up that ability is called disempowerment.
Before I say anything else I will state at the very beginning of
this work that many words, phrases and the contexts in which I use
them quite often have many layered meanings. Sometimes I will note
the double of or layered meanings I intend, at other times I will
leave it up to the reader to perhaps see for them selves. For a
double meaning example, sometimes when I say the well I am using the
common usage and meaning of the word. However, I am also referring
to the deep well of the unconscious. As well when I made Freudian
slips that I wrote down or typed as I was putting this commentary
together, in most cases I have left them and there are only a few of
them. I have left these types of Freudian slips-typos in the few
instances they occurred because of the obvious, or given the nature
of the mind, the necessary and applicable context and meaning. Even
in these few instances there might be a deeper meaning, especially
when I make reference to gender. Whenever gender is used, at all
times, the reader is advised to keep in mind the double nature of
all human beings and the fact we all contain elements of both
masculine and feminine dynamics and energies.
Based on my own experience, what I’ve learned from people, what
I’ve read and studied and most importantly my various experiences
with some of the different socially sanctioned institutions of
society and our culture, the following is an expression of what I
believe our existential reality to be. When I relate my own
experiences some of them may seem very difficult to understand given
the traumatic and criminal characteristics of some of the ways in
which I was victimized. The treatment I received and certainly many
of my very real experiences in the way I was affected will seem out
of the ordinary nature. They are not uncharacteristic of what many
people experience. I will be discussing them in the same way that
Jung, et al. used many of their very real and eye opening
experiences and the affect these experiences had on them and other
people, in their study of the mind. I will use some real examples of
my own experiences that describe very real types of ritual abuse I
have personally suffered. These are described primarily in chapters
10 and 11 but they will be described, along with other people’s
experiences, throughout. Many of them will be towards the end of the
work where I focus more on the actual dynamics of treating survivors
of ritual abuse. I look at, describe and point out that what we
usually think of as ritual abuse occurs on levels and in ways people
do not usually consider.
Some of these examples are very personal and are items that I
have taken from my personal journal. Throughout this work I contend
that true healing is only possible when a person stops repressing
and is brutally honest, with him or herself as well as with others.
Some of these personal experiences are amazing to consider,
especially when we are supposed to be living within a civilized and
free society. More than anything else, what they demonstrate among
other things, is the fact that a lot of the abuse appears to be
consciously perpetrated and as I said earlier, I suppose some of it
is. But a lot of it must be unconscious otherwise I cannot fathom
how people could actually allow themselves to do the things they do.
When it comes to my own family, friends and perhaps even other
people that colluded, took part in or otherwise closed a blind eye,
I will change their names because ultimately blame cannot be
assigned. These are things which are primarily induced unconsciously
by the shadow and contaminated super-ego and other associated
dynamics. It is a fact that in order to truly study the mind for the
purpose of healing, instead of using other people as guinea pigs and
the attempt of some people to learn about or control their minds
vicariously through other people, a true psychology of the mind is
only possible by the study of one’s own. All of the great masters,
psychologists, philosophers and spiritual saints throughout recorded
time have demonstrated this fact.
Taking into consideration my own personal experiences they have
been quite varied. I was born into a typical family in Nova Scotia,
Canada. The first few years of my life were lived in a rural area
outside of Halifax, Nova Scotia. As happens with so many families
these days, my mother and father separated and divorced early in my
life. What many people refer to as dysfunctional families is a
common phenomenon. In fact it has become accepted by most of society’s
population as being the “norm.” As I write these words never
again will I ever assign blame, condemn or judge people as
individuals or even as groups. What I can and do is evaluate the
unhealthy dynamics that have transpired within the world of the
human psyche. As any good counselor knows, when addressing
psychological issues you do not condemn the person or people in and
from whom these dynamics manifest themselves. However, we can and
must deal with the unhealthy dynamics associated with the resulting
behaviors and actions. In this context I will say the same about
many of our institutions and the powerful dynamics that maintain
many of societies and indeed humanities dysfunctions. Therefore,
although much of what I say may appear harsh, in fact whoever is
reading it may consider it to be a blunt, no nonsense approach to
the issues I am trying to bring to light in order to provide some
help in trying to address them. I have learned that to “beat
around the bush” and try to say something “in so many words”
simply so that people who have a vested interest won’t be
threatened does not, never has and never will work. Someone or
something that is harmful or doing harmful things, people closing a
blind eye to them and hypocrisy can only be addressed by being
truthful and to the point. If you are dealing with a rapist you don’t
try to say what he or she is doing is wrong in a nice way so that
they won’t be offended. The only thing that works is forthright
honesty.
Very early in life I developed a profound and ongoing need to ask
“Why.” Later in my life this developed into more of a spiritual
search than anything else. Many of the dynamics I speak of in this
book I personally experienced and they cover a wide spectrum of
society’s different areas and levels. I did indeed experience some
extremely painful, challenging and at times, seemingly unbearable
difficulties. In overcoming them I can only say there was a deeper
intelligence working from within and guiding me along my journey. I
will not try to name this deeper intelligence. However, I will say
that it is to be found within each and every human being alive.
A woman I knew once said to me “That which doesn’t kill you
will only make you stronger.” This is the same type of attitude
and belief that members in Satanic cults operate from. A Satanic
cult researcher, referred to later in this book, mentions an example
where a psychotherapist tried to induce clients who had been
sexually abused to rationalize their abuse in the same way. This
causes psychic splits, dissociation within people’s psyches. For
these reasons I do not support the director of a school of social
work who expressed the above sentiment to me in reference to my
traumatic experiences, although I am curious to know if she would
have said that to me if I had of been someone else. However, looking
at these dynamics from a conscious, detached and disciplined
perspective might be a way to understand what the Buddha was
referring to when he said “Life is suffering.” It does not mean
that a person turns a blind eye to the causes of suffering and
oppression, wherever it stems from. Quite the opposite is
true.
I will refer to it as the illusion our egos fabricate, for good
or bad, that prevents us from seeing the true nature of humankind
and everything that comprises it and from which life springs. Having
been raised as a Christian, I will say that it is some of what I
believe Jesus tried to teach us two thousand years ago. I am not
Jesus so I cannot speak in that way, only the way I understand what
he attempted to teach us. People all exist on different levels of
development and therefore understanding. The important thing is for
people always to ask “Why?” and remember that people, all
people, are literally the same. We are all made in the Creator’s
image. Regardless of appearances, every person in existence is
fundamentally good and perfect. It is the energies which affect
people that we have to question.
The other thing I want to make clear is that I will in no way
adhere to modern medicine’s and especially the modern view of
mental health that considers a lot of mystical, even paranormal
experiences which people talk of as psychotic or sick. In addition,
as I mentioned above, in considering the nature of mind, it is only
natural that many of the psychic experiences people might have,
given the context of the culture and spiritual characteristics of
that culture they are immersed in or from which they emerged, that
much of the imagery and knowledge of the higher realms of the psyche
can only be expressed through that culture, using the filter of the
human mind . Religious imagery is the only way to conceptualize or
speak of some of these things. Modern medicine and technological
science only accepts what can be objectified. Later in this work I
will provide more information showing that much of modern psychology
and especially psychiatry only deal with the lower levels of the
mind, usually as it relates to ego. Therefore, I do closely evaluate
modern psychiatry’s attack on human mysticism. I know from
personal experience, many people I have spoken with as well as
extensive research I have done that when a client speaks about
religion, mysticism or anything spiritual it is considered a sign of
psychosis or illness. Yet that same individual who commits the
diagnosis may then turn around, go to church every Sunday and listen
to sermons that talk about a highly supernatural and in some cases,
superstitious type of God, hellfire and other such nonsense; then
again they might also adopt a purely nihilistic, atheistic and
arrogant belief that their own ego is the greatest achievement
nature has attained. All of this is extremely childish, pathological
and deadly to the human psyche and spirit. It is literally a crime
against humanity.
It is from my experiences with other people that I have learned
more about myself than any other source and gained a true
appreciation, respect and reverence for our life here on the blue
planet. It is especially from people who have caused me suffering
that I have obtained the greatest wealth of understanding and
knowledge. In consideration of everyone I have learned that whether
it was from the street people I associated with, the lawyer’s
daughter I went out with at one time and her friends, from people
who appeared to be old fashioned and rigidly set in their way and a
variety of other people in different areas of society’s
artificially created divisions - all of these people have shown me
they had a wealth of resources for learning to offer me.
In my thirst for information, learning and knowledge I learned
that there is a lot of information out there for people to “consume”
but very little of it is useful unless it can be put into its proper
perspective. Learning how to read between the lines, separating
fiction from non-fiction, separating emotional propaganda from true
human requirements; all of this was to teach me that no one person,
opinion and viewpoint or way of life is less useful for the purpose
of human education than the rest. As I learned that no one person,
perspective, way of life or way of being told the whole story, I
also learned the importance in realizing that from the day we are
born until the day we die, the process of learning never ceases. The
written word is simply a vehicle for recording an individual’s,
group’s’, nation’s or culture’s particular viewpoint on
life. I remember a book I read at one time, entitled “Aging is a
Life-Long Affair.” Today, this title sums this realization up for
me quite nicely.
Considering my interaction with and experiences with the various
institutions within society, I have to say that my work in and
personal involvement with medical and psychological institutions -
more than anywhere else - showed me just how limited, controlling
and regressive some of the aspects of these institutions really are.
In some ways, they are more responsible for halting and in some
cases reversing, the growth of humans and the human spirit more than
any other institutions within society.
I am going to discuss the reality of the psyche within society
and the world today; how the psyche is mutilated and abused in a
type of unconscious sacrifice to the shadow of humankind. As
mentioned, I am going to discuss how to recognize this type of
ritual abuse, how to take steps to heal and then emerge from this in
the form of therapeutic counseling, individually and collectively,
beginning with the healer.
The reality of the psyche is comprised of so more than what is
usually considered “real.” only that which is able to be
quantified and controlled through external sources is considered
valid and worthy of respect.
Any level of the psyche that exists or is trying to emerge beyond
the immature ego but encompassing all of the lower levels; that is,
a psyche showing signs and expressions of the emergence of the
higher levels of the human psyche, is looked upon by modern
psychology and psychiatry with a pathological eye. Because they do
not understand these realities of the psyche when they are
confronted with them, they respond by diagnosing them away [1]
thereby repressing them, in themselves and their clients. This only
causes further mutilation and violence to the human psyche. This
adds to the unconscious sickness of the human psyche that is known
in depth-psychology as the shadow and, I will add, the
shadow-contaminated collective super-ego. It is to be found within
individuals and by virtue of every human being containing within
themselves the whole of the human collective psyche, the collective
as well.
In attempting to understand the reality of the psyche and the
world we live in, we have to utilize as integral an approach as
possible. In speaking about the integration and eclectic recognition
of knowledge we can introduce the idea of centering and balance. We
can do this by using an approach that does not accept a purely
objective or inter-objective approach or a purely subjective or
inter-subjective approach. Each approach, situated in one of four
quadrants that can be placed on a graph has to be balanced by the
other quadrants. In this case, the left side or subjective and
inter-subjective approaches in understanding the reality of the
psyche have to be balanced with the objective and inter-objective
“outer” reality in order to understand how we maneuver and
operate within the world. The left side of the graph – shown on
page 36 - can be thought of as a living psychic reality and the
right side, because of its purely materialistic and objective
viewpoint, can simply be thought of as “it.” [2]
It is only when one side or portion of the whole is used to the
exclusion of the others that imbalance occurs. In today’s world
validation is only assigned to the right, the purely objective and
materialistic side. What is accepted from the other side is only
considered useful by the dominant social structure if it can “make
a profit” or further technology. The realities of the subjective
and inter-subjective side, that is, the individual psyche, the
collective psyche and the collective and individual interdependence
of both are discounted or pathologized. This is itself pathological
and creates dysfunction in a vicious cycle, just as acceptance and
recognition of only the left side as displaying the only validity of
reality is equally unbalanced and ungrounded.
In this way we end up with neurotic and/or psychotic imbalances.
This mutilates individual and collective psyches: the world. A
purely materialistic, technological and objective world-view that
predominates throughout this planet called Earth does just that. It
destroys the psyche, both individual and collective and by focusing
exclusively on material reality thereby destroys it as well - by
over exploitation, imbalance; by too much attention being paid to
quantitative rather than qualitative reality.
Because of this quantitative, materialistic and therefore profit
driven mentality we are left with a market driven society where
people become Skinner’s rats. Their behaviors can be controlled
and exploited, so that they purchase, in most cases, unneeded
consumer products. People become bodies instead of being treated and
acting like human beings; to maintain the machine-like requirements
of a profit oriented and machine-like society.
The psychotic and sociopathic aspects of this type of society is
most evident where people become objects simply to be used for
making profits within a medical and pharmaceutical controlled “health-care”
environment. The true subjective and therefore inter-subjective
health of people, for the most part, is sidetracked and sabotaged
because of the subsequent alienation from self, from other people
and their living environment.
This consumer approach to living also distorts, mutilates and
prevents attaining the higher levels of psychic potential and
development as nature, both earthy and heavenly intended.
Fortunately, we’ll always have our Socrates, Galileo’s and Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.,s who are individual enough, brilliant enough
and courageous enough to go against the status quo. Thank God, so
that truth, reality and justice can emerge long enough for humankind
to see its mistakes sharply enough and clear enough to propel us
into our next stage of evolutionary development. Sometimes this
historical truism reminds me of watching a toddler learning how to
walk: he or she takes a step forward, starts to lose balance and
takes two steps backwards, regains balance enough to move forward
far enough so that movement beyond the place where imbalance first
occurred can be achieved.
The development of our psyches to the point where we have the
ability to use abstract thinking did not continue on to developing
the higher levels of the psyche as this abstract ability was
originally intended by nature for us to do. Instead, on the mass
level of society, and on a mass scale it has become locked in the
lower levels of the ego, with the lower levels of the ego serving
only the lower level reptilian and limbic aspects of the brain.
Technology and the ability to manipulate matter and the human psyche
increased inversely to our evolution as civilized human beings. As a
world society, we have today developed a technology far in advance
of what our war-like, reptilian mentalities can handle.[3]
The cleverness of the intellect’s ability, located in the left
hemisphere of the brain, gives us apparent potential to have
dominion over the more primitive limbic and reptilian (r-system)
components of our psychic environment and planetary intelligence.
Under natural circumstances, this latter intelligence is known at an
instinctual and naturally forward moving and life enhancing level.
The physical vessel is located in the right hemisphere of the brain.
In today’s world, conscious attempts at domination by the left,
logical and scientific hemisphere of the brain has disconnected us
from the right side’s more all encompassing psychic power. It is
not to wonder there is a medical-psychiatric condition known as
Bi-Polar Disorder.
The left side of our brain is the side that is out of control, in
the sense that it has enabled humankind to dominate rather than have
dominion over the right side. What nature intended was to use our
left hemisphere’s intellect to work in service of, to “civilize”
the whole psyche, located primarily in the right hemisphere. This
would provide balanced support to allow the employment of this
instinctual, imaginative and more powerful portion of the psyche to
be used in an intuitively creative and evolutionarily expansive way.
Instead, what has happened is the egotistical and intentional
domination of the right, more encompassing Soul part of the brain -
about 9/10ths of the whole psyche by the left’s intellect. This
has resulted in the subsequent regression of the right side. Not
only are we destroying by oppressive and repressive control what is
possible with the right hemisphere’s natural potential, and we are
doing it with a pathological focus on materialism, this has also
created a situation where the more powerful right side’s
instinctual imagination and intelligence has unconsciously taken
over in the form of the shadow, which in turn controls the
collective superego. This shadow– which has been blocked out of
most people’s conscious awareness - destroys instead of creating
by apparently working in unison with the left’s logical side. I
say apparently because instead of actually trying to create and
sustain life, the shadow-controlled superego, the collective psyche
of humankind, is working to serve a primitive and war-like ego that
is driven in its ruthlessness by an environment saturated with fear,
alienation and competition. These are also the dynamics from which
blatant and not so obvious Satanic cults operate.
As many intelligent people have said over the years, an enemy you
cannot see is more dangerous than an enemy you can see. This is
especially true when that unseen enemy has grasped control of
humankind. This control is characterized by a kind of unconscious,
subliminal chaotic anarchy on one level of the unconscious psyche.
This is induced, directed and maintained by a very intelligent,
directionally intent but sadistically ruthless shadow whose twisted,
wounded nature is sustained by a primitive level of uncivilized
corruption most people cannot truly fathom. Unfortunately, this does
not induce a sense or horror for people like it should. In fact
today, many people actually seem to be obscenely attracted to these
dynamics. I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes, as the saying
goes.
Attempts to control the social symptoms of this anarchy in the
traditional ways that produced it in the first place, obviously,
will only exacerbate it. In other words, humankind’s attempts to
control nature and through that paradigm or world view, human nature
has backfired. The beginning point or area to begin healing this is
human medical/mental health.
In many of the esoteric traditions today, and some not so
esoteric but terribly mutilated and misunderstood, it is well known
that there are two terms that describe a person’s or people’s
conscious and sometimes not so conscious direction on the mystery
path: these are known as the left-hand path and the right-hand path.
The only reason I use the term mystery is because they refer to the
higher levels of the human psyche that we have been denied access to
and that for the vast majority of the human population they are a
mystery and looked upon today with a “knowing smile” or a
feeling of foolish superstition.
In the left-hand path, the symbolic motion that represents its
world-view is counter clockwise or anti-sunwise; against nature and
separating rather than inclusive. The right-hand path is
characterized symbolically by a clockwise or sunwise motion, unity,
inclusiveness and harmony with nature and life: evolution. An
example of the left-hand path can be seen in the Nazis and
especially the Nazi swastika. It represented a reverse of life
enhancing forces, anti-sunwise, separating and against nature. The
arms on the Nazi swastika cut into the air and ripped (split?) away.
In comparison the original Asian swastika, an extremely ancient and
holy symbol that moves sun-wise, symbolizing harmony with nature and
life. Its arms flow with the air, the vibrations of life.
A natural movement in relation to the psyche, the movement from
left (hemisphere) to right (hemisphere) is symbolizing a movement
utilizing logic, consciousness, light. Nature flows from the left
side to the “larger” and deeper right side, using the left side’s
consciousness to “enlighten” it. Instead, when the left side is
“in charge” what happens and has happened is that the resulting
movement is from the right, psychically far more powerful side
towards the left side, unconsciously. What the left logical
side has done in sabotaging the right side is to, paradoxically (or
should I say Pandora’s Box) cause and enable the unenlightened,
primordial, uncivilized and pissed-off right side to take over.
By society’s primarily systemic focus on the left brain’s
intellect and ability to dominate and control, we have unknowingly
and unwittingly unleashed a monster in the form of the shadow
(controlled superego): the ghost in the machine, literally.
Possibly in this respect, I will relate a dream I had at one time
several years ago. I know it had to do with the recollection of my
integral self as I developed in consciousness and remembered aspects
of myself that were lost or forgotten, ripped away from me
temporarily. I also know it related to the frustrations I
encountered on the journey to wholeness.
In this dream I am outside in a backyard covered with green
grass. I am sitting on a motorcycle and am trying to get it started.
Then, a woman comes over to my motorcycle from the right side,
reaches over and presses the electric starter that powers up the
motorcycle. As I start a forward motion on the bike, I begin moving
in a left direction and then I decide to change directions and head
right.
There are many important factors I can see in this dream.
However, I believe the most important elements are:
1) My inner woman or Earth level, instinctual intelligence
located primarily in the right brain’s powerful all-encompassing
depths, my anima, starts the power in the bike. She is moving from
the right to the left however, similar to the way the world in which
I was born has been moving. It is counterclockwise, anti-sunwise in
movement because of the mute-illation and violence that has been
done to the soul, my Soul and the Earth Soul. The person sitting on
the bike is my ego self, but also my masculine or “heavenly”
self. At first, perhaps because of frustration, unconsciousness or
even habit, I begin also traveling in a leftward direction. However,
I believe in my decision to turn right - moving from my vital left
side, as it is known in Yoga, towards the right - I started to
operate from a conscious position but also a moral, ethical and
life-giving rather than life-denying position. This latter position
is the most common one that characterizes the world into which I had
been born. Morals, ethics and empathy naturally follow as an
individual increases in true consciousness, free of the false ego.
2) The electric power used to start the engine immediately makes
me think of the pain and suffering I have encountered ever since I
began to wake up and go against the backwards moving motion of the
herd mentality. When I say ‘electric’ I say it in the same way
that an electric chair is used to murder someone. Ever read Steven
King’s “The Green Mile”? In this book, the main character, Mr.
Coffey, was a highly spiritually evolved and gifted person who had
the miraculous ability to heal people, physically and in extension,
spiritually. Mr. Coffey was walking in the country one day and came
across two very young twins who had been brutally raped and
murdered. He had tried to revive them but was not able to bring them
back to life. When a search party looking for the twins arrived on
the scene, this man was sitting with them while his tears flowed.
Because he was a black man living in the deep south of the U.S.A.,
the people who found them automatically assumed he was guilty.
Besides the fact that in real life a psycho or sociopath who would
commit such an outrage would most likely not stay at the scene of
the crime in this manner, they also would not have been able to tune
into the higher, compassionate actions and obvious circumstances
this scene represented. During Mr. Coffey’s stay in prison on
death row everyone who worked at the prison came to see the higher
spiritual levels this person operated from. When the time for
execution arrived, although virtually all of the people who worked
at the prison realized this person was not only innocent but a life
giver, their fear and conditioned mentalities never stopped them
from leading him to and executing him in an electric chair.
Ever since I started to go against the herd, I have felt like I
have been on the “hot seat” of an electric chair. The electric
energy has been bone rattling rather than providing a humming and
flowingly harmonized form of energy and power. Especially, I say
this in respect to the way my character has been attacked, along
with my psychic well-being because of the severe abuses I have
encountered. In short, the barbaric and brutal treatment that has
been handed to me by, in some cases the very people I opened my
heart, mind and various abilities to. This also applies, as well to
those people and institutions I looked to receive support from to
help me overcome the brutalities I endured.
As I said, the motorcycle represents, in a very real symbolic way
and this had been the case for me for as long as I can remember the
power of woman, as in horsepower, earth power. This is separate from
heavenly power, the other element that is represented by me, the
man, on the bike. It is that heavenly or masculine aspect of my
psychic makeup riding the horse.
In respect to the “fallen” nature of Earth, in the sense I
was born in a fallen state as in fallen away from the heavenly
creator or source, there is also another dream I will share. The
important element of this dream is that it demonstrates in a very
powerful way the fact that each of our individual psyches share and
take part in the whole of the collective psyche. This is especially
true in the sense that each and every person we meet and in fact
that exists in the world is no more or less than exact replicas of
each and every aspect of our own individual psyches. In a collective
material sense, there may be billions of people alive on this earth
today, however, taking into consideration the nature of the
collective human psyche the fact is that every one of those
individual psyches or entities are contained in the psyches of each
one of those billions of persons alive.
There is an important point to be made here however. It is a fact
that within each human individual there is a lot of darkness and
unclean nature. That is why virtually every person alive is
responsible for uncovering that darkness, bringing it to light and
using it for life giving and constructive purposes. Therefore, it
goes without saying that there are aspects of a person’s psyche
that have to be civilized and controlled. In the same sense as I
described in the above, that can also be interpreted, in a material
sense, without prejudice or hypocrisy but simply honesty and love,
that there are reflections of us in society that have to be
civilized. They have to heal before they can be productive and they
have to be brought to a point of consciousness before this can even
begin. To become at least conscious enough to want to rebel and
break away from the tribe or herd, long enough to begin to emerge as
individuals. Individuals who truly want to give life in an
interdependent fashion rather than existing in the fragmented and
alienated state that characterizes large portions of society today.
Importantly, when I use the word ‘tribe’, I am not denouncing
tribes per se, only the aspect of tribal consciousness that creates
divisions; creating us and them mentalities. In that sense, every
group of people that consider themselves better than, superior to,
or different from other groups in a fundamental sense, whether that
belief is based on gender, color, creed, nationality or religion,
operate from a tribal mentality that denies the interconnection and
interdependence of all humanity. Any differences in perspectives can
be used as strengths if mutual elements are also acknowledged. This
statement acknowledges the intelligent intentions behind taking a
group of people with widely differing areas of interest and
perspectives, bringing them together and “brainstorming” to
bring together the best of what each has to offer.
Dream
In this next dream, I am standing by myself inside what I
instinctively know are a type of showers. The walls are covered in
blood and I know that many people have died in these showers before
me. I also knew at the time I had that dream, within the dream, that
I had been about to die as well. Interestingly – ‘interesting’
in almost the same way Spock from the TV series Star Trek may have
used the term - I knew I was going to die in those showers. As far
as trying to interpret this dream, all I will say is that what the
dream meant to me was a conscious awareness of how many people
within society are used as scapegoats, whipping boys and girls or
are in some way used by bigots and hypocrites to carry their own
projections that they refuse to carry themselves. I will also say
that this dream illustrates the fact that we are all responsible for
the state of the human collective psyche or spirit; the world Soul.
In this context, I remember reading the words of a Jewish holocaust
survivor, a well-known author. Earlier in his life he had been a
famous Nazi hunter, who had come to the realization at one point in
his later life, upon deep reflection, the unity and sameness of all
humankind. He said that if history and circumstances had been
different, it could just have easily have been him standing in the
SS uniform watching ritual sacrificial victims in a concentration
camp operated by the massive Nazi Satanic cult instead of the other
way around.
In this sense we are all our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers;
not jail guards, not policeman – keepers, in the sense that we are
all responsible for the welfare of everyone, most importantly and
necessarily beginning with ourselves. If we don’t start with
ourselves we won’t have the energy, courage or ability to have the
compassionate empathy and love required for the love of our fellow
human beings.
We have not been using the ego in a natural and healthy
developmental way progressing to a harmonized balance, with it being
the aware director in service of the whole psyche. What has happened
is that the subsequently mutilated, betrayed and very angry right
side of the psyche once turned into the shadow, has used its much
more powerful energies to gain unconscious control of the puny
little egos that dared to turn it into a psychotic shell of the once
beautiful and bountiful life source it had been at one time. We can
heal this and turn it again into a beautiful and life giving source
of creativity and harmony.
