The most important bit of information that I took away from Shanon Doreys book Master Of Speech was the origin and reason for the Shadow...or the veil between the conscious and unconscious.
According to Shannon Dorey the concept of an androgynous, or a being with two souls, is one that has the conscious and what we perceive as the Unconscious. The Jackal, the result of Nummo interference on Earth, only had one soul or gender (male). According to Shannon Dorey's interpretation there were several attempts to correct this but none of them worked so the 'second soul' of humans was removed. This second soul became the subconscious. This confirms a lot of the research I've done and conclusions that I've come to over the years. First, as I shared years ago, Shannon Dorey points out Jung recognized the second soul as a different gender from the conscious. A man must become acquainted with his Anima and a woman with her Animus. This helps explain why the "androgynous" non-mayetial Nummo saw a "single gender" as a mistake. They were not talking about biological gender. Biological gender was best metaphor for they had for the conscious and subconscious was to compare them to genders...just as they describe their God Amma as a fish and everyone knows that's a metaphor. Second, that the Unconscious/Subconscious is the part of us that is connected to the 'Hive Mind' of Spirit. A lot of sources don't come out and say that but it is implied. This quote doesn't sat it directly but makes it obvious. Also, as we will see in my next post about Shannon Doreys chapter on dreams...dreams are the realm of the subconscious and our 'phone line's to Spirit. Third, the separation of Humanities Conscious and Subconscious...referred to simply as 'the veil' or the 'veil of forgetfulness' was done on purpose. One of the reasons is that there was a debt owed to the Earth because it was mistreated by Amma and the Jackal. We will cover that topic in a third post. Validation All of this fits into the narrative that I've shared before that runs through all of the 'mystery teachings' from Alchemy to the Tarot. The Jackal is that person (or thing, maybe a computer?) that was the first to perceive itself as seperate on Atlantis. That perception of Seperation spread like a virus through that form of the human race. The Jackal could be compared to the Snake in the Garden of Eden that first suggested to Eve that she didn't have to obey God. That sense of Free Will is a speration. I think it's important that Jewish teachers of the Kabbalah say that Free Will was always intended but was a 'little early' causing Malkuth to shatter. As a result of this "knowing" too soon the veil was created. Some call this the "fall" but the Egyptians (according to John Van Aukens Ancient Egyptian Mysticism) saw it as merely "upside down" because man thinks that Physical Material Reality is all there is....when really the only thing that actually exists is All-That-Is. Adam of the bible may actually represent the Jackal. He felt alone...he perceived himself as seperate from the Creator and that is why "Eve" was removed from him so he could interact with something. In fact, the Dogon call the Jackal the, "First Son of God." Which is the same title given to Adam in the Bible. The Dogon literally say the subconscious is removed through circumcision. I find that absolutely fascinating. The physical act of circumcision with the male and the imaginative act with the female is also symbolic of the general perception of Spirit/Subconscious as female (as depicted in the Tarot) so it's imaginative/non-physical and the male being Consciousness (again, as depicted in the Tarot) physically removing a part of the male genitilia. So, again we find that this is confirmed by several sources. The Edgar Cacye Material, the Tarot, Alchemy and even the general acceptance of the Anima/Animus by Carl Jung. Conclusion Whether it was because of the Nummo's error or some sort of design...all of the mystery teachings say that the separation of the Subconscious from the Conscious was intentional and a form of "correction." While most of the material I've read is in agreement with the correction only Tarot and Alchemy says how the correction works. That each individual must unite the Conscousiness with the Subcinscious to create a New Consciousness (or Divine Child) that consists of both. That's why I love those two disciplines. They faithfully provide the solution while so many others only focus on the "error" that lead to the Separation. Each person is responsible fo Awakwning to their spiritual identity and then doing the Work of bringing their subconscious Shadow into their consciousness. Once you stop trying to narrate the human story as Good versus Evil and see only One Thing...the story becomes obvious.

You might be wondering...why is she showing the new Lion King Trailer for this topic.
First, isn't it weird that there was only one trailer and isn't even weirder that the focus is on Scar talking about how, "The world isn't fair," ? This just seems so timely. Yet, Scar really represents the type of people I want to talk about in this blog. They hide in the Shadows searching and stealing the scraps...but why? I choose not to believe in evil for evil's sake. Sure, there might be some out there who are truly deranged. Those I know who did things I disagreed with were often suffering the most. Living in the Shadow is not something someone chooses to do. We know from our studies on this blog about the Shadow. To have a big Shadow is to have a lot of disowned aspects...as lot of shame, fear and guilt. The grudge that creates the Shadow exists because we hold the mistakes we've made against ourselves. Is Love Finite? Those who live in the Shadow actually believe that there is not enough love to go around. So, they seize onto whatever love that they can find or they strike out to those who seem to possess the love and success they want. However, when they try their hand at what others were successful at doing...they create a wasteland just like Scar does in the Lion King. These are the energetic vampires. In my experience there are far more energetic vampires then people who are spiritually connected to Source Energy. Some people honestly don't know how to connect with the divine. Some may have a perception of it but they are too afraid to connect because of the karma of making mistakes in past lives or this one. When we choose to live a righteous life (which basically just means falling your heartfelt intuition) we heal all past lives...but some people either don't know that or can't believe it. The thing is that when you are connected to the Divine...when you put into place a Spiritual Practice and work to create that bond...you have more energy and vitality. Yet, when you start from nothing...when all you know is that Spiritual Hunger...it can seem impossible. That's why those who cannot feel Oneness or naturally connect suffer so much. I also don't believe it's through any fault of their own. They honestly don't believe it's possible to connect because they have never had that experience. Take for example, in my last life that I can recall I was murdered by someone who couldn't connect to Source. That person saw myself and the person I was dating in that life so filled with vitality and opportunity that he struck out. When I experienced my past life memory I stepped into his shoes for a moment to feel what he was and it was hear breaking. I understood in that moment the utter lack and inability to love that this person felt. They were an abandoned street orphan that no one paid attention to except to shove or spit on. I can't even imagine what that life was like and so in this life I felt so much forgiveness despite the fact that soul had killed me in a previous life and took advantage of me in this life because he couldn't experience love in this life either. Being An Example The need for Healers and Mystics is tremendous. By choosing to connect with the Divine we serve as examples to the people who walk in the Shadow. Perhaps they won't take the opportunity to integrate their Shadow in this life but it will leave an impression on them. Hopefully, they will receive the message that the Shadow is not something to be feared. We hold space for the opportunity for them to take that step and provide an example of how that looks. Have you ever noticed when you are at the store and you're exclaiming over some product...people are naturally attracted to look at that item? ​ The other day, I was buying grapes at the grocery store. They are these super yummy organic cotton candy grapes that my daughter and I go nutty over. I exclaimed, "Yay they have our favorite grapes!" to my daughter. Three other people walked over to investigate the grapes. I'm not sure any of them bought the grapes but...you get the point. When people see that others are happy because of something they are naturally attracted to the source of that happiness. Yes, some people can't stand to seem someone who is happy and connected. They may be like my co-worker from a few years ago who added bleach to the dishwater because she knew it broke me out in a rash. The pain they experience comes from the fact that they don't understand. They can't comprehend how or why others are connected to the Divine Source of Energy and things are so hard from them. They feel like empty broken vessels. How I Understand Certainly, I know this feeling. I've chosen not to be disconnected at certain times in my life because I found the idea too frightening. I didn't want to imagine that an all-knowing God was watching me all of the time. Why would God watch me get dressed or pee? I was born tired. I think I was carrying a huge karmic burden. I came into this life depressed and with very low energy. I had trouble connected with other kids who seemed absolutely bizarre to me for some reason. I would watch them from afar just observing their behavior and I've never felt that I fit in anywhere. People either treat me as a guru (my nickname at one Middle School was 'Mother' and everyone came to me for advice, for example) or they are naturally repelled by my energy. The Oneness felt more like a burden when I didn't fit in during my school years. I was mad at that deep abiding peace because my heart was full of turmoil and rejection. So, I disconnected as much as I could and tried to go about life as society dictated. In the last few years I've learned how sweet it is to be connected and feel the Oneness. I can't maintain that state of being all of the time...but I do manage it most of the time. When I breath deep, imagine a beam of light pass through my body and rooting me to the ground...it's easy for me to feel outward with my energetic body and just be...but it does take a little bit of time. That's why meditation is so necessarily for me. Connecting daily helps me recharge. The Qi Connection In Qi Gong there is the belief that every child is born with Qi that they inherit from their parents. This life force energy (the essence of which is love) is what keeps the body going. Sometimes, people inherit a naturally low amount of Qi. The only way to really overcome a deficiency of Qi is to open up and connect with the divine. Otherwise, again, we come back to the idea of people who behave like scavenges fighting over the scraps of life force energy they can steal from others by dominating them. Conclusion I feel sorry for those who cannot feel Oneness or connect to the Divine. I really believe deep down in my heart that they are innocent and do not know what they are doing. They don't know why they feel the way that they do or how to help themselves enter an empowered state of being. The only thing that can possibly help them is by living the best life we can and hoping that our example will rub off on them. I do believe this situation will change as we transition into the Age of Aquarius. Even though I've spent most of my life feeling on the inside like Wednesday Adams...I realize that I'm a bit of a live wire. Not only does it scare some people but it's caused people to attach to me and drain me dry of my energy. Even when super depressed people didn't realize it because I've always had a sunny disposition. The practice of not maintaining relationships when they cross boundaries has really helped. I can consciously realize now when people are draining my energy. I have had a little practice with stopping the flow but I'm still learning so I'm in no position to share that with others. Thank you, dear soul, for joining me on the Path of the Seeker today by reading this blog. I hope that I have given you food for thought. |
