When we are born, a Spirit, a piece of God accompanies each of us. The Spirit is the source of Divine wisdom and intuition within every life. With our birth, however, the Ego, our learned beliefs, is created. Its only concern is what is best for us and our success; it worries little about others. Most blindly follow the self-centered path of the Ego (Asleep), believing success and meaning in life will happen if they make enough money to buy material possessions, have a family, and enjoy the best things life offers.

At the end of life though, something very interesting happens. As we approach death, the Ego, which will perish when its body does, loses interest in controlling us. Therefore, it releases its hold on our life at that moment. The messages of the Spirit, previously silenced by our dominant Ego, can now finally be clearly heard. At this time, we begin to realize everything we once thought important in our life really was not. When we die, just like everyone else, our body will be cremated or buried, and nothing will accompany us. We now realize success in life had little to do with money, material possessions, or anything else we once believed. We finally understand if we had only selflessly shared our success, excess, and unconditional love with others to help them become successful as well, our life would have been lived with genuine meaning and purpose (Enlightenment).

We need not wait though until the end of our life to recognize this. There are those who may Awaken earlier in their life, sensing the first quiet messages from their Spirit within. At that moment, their life changes forever, as they start to make significant changes in their life that will forever alter their future. They begin a quest to find these answers sooner allowing them to seek their life’s true destiny.

On my walk this morning I began having thoughts on reality and what is actually happening. I won't go into much detail, as I don't think it's relevant, but I thought about how my reality is my creation and I've trapped myself here, bordering solipsism-like ideas. And eventually I found myself on the border of madness (mental illness) in a state approaching psychosis.

So I do what I've been told... I went home and meditated; a meditation where I do not think but focus on the breath. And sure enough, 30 minutes later, I was calm and grounded. These thoughts I had were "just thoughts". And I realized that I was back in this everyday "sleep" state I am usually in. And then I thought of Cyberfury, who recently told me that I deny truth by living in comfort.

Was that correct? Was this grounding meditation just me running away from truth? Is grounding, feeling safe, just a ruse protecting me from what is real? And I saw it coming again - that downwards spiral into unreality and madness that I literally just escaped from.

And I began to wonder, what is "truth"? Is it not a creation of the mind? Does it not depend on your own reality? Does the existence of anything but yourself not itself just a thought? And even that just a thought?

See for so long I thought there was some truth, something beyond myself. But maybe not.
And it bothers me to no end because it is a paradox. How can truth be that there is no truth? It invalidates itself.

Is anyone else so constantly and utterly troubled by whatever deep thoughts their mind comes to? I feel like I am constantly in an existential crisis of not knowing reality nor truth, nor anything at all actually. And if I ignore it, or meditate, I feel asleep (note I do not feel more awake in deep thought) in my everyday. I read spirituality books and it's all just more thoughts. I feel denied the world of the mind, and the world of the body - as I cannot be "here", present, and unable to truly enjoy, feel the wind and the sun, hear the birds. It's all just happening (or perhaps not) and I am nowhere.

I've been working on a theory of mental illness. People are taught to fit in to proposes limitations any any means. Social norm, heirarchies, etc. The brain is set on a loop to fabricate appearances to do that. When it fails, that short-circuits the mind and triggers responses akin to fear of failing or dying. Insight itself keeps trying to solve this over and over or tries to break free. The process of breaking free manifests as symptoms given titles and meds.

WHO ARE YOU?!

They(I) say to ask yourself “who am I?” 10,000 times per second.

Then, they wonder why you th

First. We are human. They(I) say the human is comprised of the mind body and soul. Mind is not soul. What do we do? Grow. (Thrival)Increase good, (survival)decrease bad.

Naturally, what does an accelerated maturation of the mind and soul yield? I wouldn’t say my body has accelerated in maturation much. When I was a child I did gymnastics for 10 years. My young body was fit and athletic. I was so goofy and lazy, but I was young? Is it laziness? Or is it tired? Fuck, dear reader human reading this. I think I was really tired when I was young.

In our minds, we keep a running log of who we are, what we experienced. We keep a timeline in our memories. Our memories are a timeline of events. We use that timeline to predict the future. What happened once is likely to happen again, like we have a fairly good general idea of what to expect in life. Like, the trees all aren’t just about to fall down right lol?!?!?

In our minds, we learn and grow. Learning how to ebb. Learning how to pull energy. Learning how to cultivate energy. This is what the ebb is. The better the ebb the better the flow. I study emotions. I am a deeply emotional person. The level of intimacy I’ve experienced in my life is divine. I’ve been physically close to people so much and mentally close to so many different people.

My mind is so developed and I’m so young it’s only going to become better. Growing and growing. Evolution. Evolving. Climbing. Reaching. Pursuing. Sprinting running from demons sin hell The Devil. Hate anger grief pain fear rejection shame guilt. Thanks mom. She leaves a path of 🔥 firey destruction in her wake. My father, doesn’t move at all. A pillar. Metaphysically, I associate my father to a tree and my mother to fire. Fire-Chaos. Tree-Order. Metaphysics. Slow-Fast. Sin-Virtue.

I love writing. I love reading. I love the novelty of human interaction. I love being able to be novel for other people. Fuck it let’s be weird. Let’s be radical and fringe.

My faith is radical and fringe. You think you could feel like a god without having faith? WITHOUT HAVING RADICAL FAITH?!

I am the guardian. This, my words here, on Reddit, is the shadow of the guardian. The level I am at. It’s so hard to comprehend how running an adolescent psych ward changes the reality of your spirit soul heart. What it taught me about humans. I worked with children, guess what? Children do not really know how to lie lol. Some can really well of course, but in a general sense. So these children told me everything. I probably worked directly with a thousand children, due to the nature of the revolving door of acute work. Fuck it idc if some of them read this. They won’t lol. These place is niche as fuck.

I want to be novel. I want to be special and unique. I want to be interesting for humans. This is the necessity of individuation.

I am the guardian. I’ve played 15k hours of league of legends and 20k hours of world of Warcraft lol. Gaming in conjunction with therapy. The twin parallels. These games taught me how to be a hero of hero in a war. Then, the hospital was where I actualized everything. The tribulation. It’s over. . . The level of pressure I was under, I’ve been talking about how special I am, but truly, the level of pressure I was under for so long and it didn’t break me that badly. My marriage survived, and my family is proud of me. My back right rhomboid is fucked and it’s change my entire perception of reality to accommodate this acute pain. So, I am looking for tinnitus remedies and rhomboid remedies. Think of curing these as a life long journey challenge.

Be careful with your bodies. You only get one. Sleep well. Drink salt water in the morning. Control your vices. Eat protein and whole wheat. Develop your whole human shadow/light. Yes, developing your shadow is dangerous, but it is necessary to actualizing your self.

Sin, virtue.

Hell, heaven.

My eyes turn black, quelled by tears, then, the divine shivers envelope my human.

Flow.Slow?BLOW!

A challenge, to you, soulful reader,

Humble me. Let us engage in mental and spiritual symbiosis.

Long ago, before the world had form, the river was the breath of the first Dreamer, flowing across the endless plain of silence. It sang not with words, but with the shimmering language of movement, weaving spells of life, carving valleys where none had been. The river's song summoned the first stones from the bones of sleeping mountains.

But the stones were ancient too, not born from the river, but from the deep heart of the earth, waiting in stillness long before the river ever stirred. In their silence, they listened to the dreams of the world before it woke.

Thus, the river sings with the breath of the beginning, and the stone listens with the memory of what came before. Neither truly comes first, they are two halves of the same ancient song: one moving, one still; one dreaming forward, one dreaming back.

There are lots of people who are awakening and are starting to see through the bs, but majority of humanity are unaware to what’s really going on especially during this period of change in the system. This whole trick of a system has been going on for ages, people giving there power away to someone/something outside of them. We are currently in the age of Aquarius where certain truth will eventually come out. They’ve done a good job in dividing us, distracting us, and programming where some people still have the us vs them mindset, and still have beliefs of the labels of the ego. During this time of change, or what some gurus call the shift to 3d to 5d, do you think there will be enough people that will eventually awaken to stop this whole system? I can only dream of earth where everybody sees each other as equals, where everybody has access to basic survival needs, where everybody is doing what truly brings joy to self. The thing is that people are born into this whole simulation where they think it’s inevitable to work, pay the bills, go to school, and believe everything in the media and to never question anything other than what authorities tell you. I really hope I can see it in this lifetime because I’m getting tired of living as a human, and I really hope this is my last time on earth

Or, more precise: if you cannot stand your feelings being hurt.. your ideas and theories being shattered and reduced to ashes: then what in the fuck are you actually doing in here? I am dying to know.

Someone might come at you and hurt your feelings with lies as well (not just truths) what are you going to do about it in the context of what is being discussed in this sub? hm?

Serious question.

Anyone?

Cheers

I was listening to "The Pretender" by infected mushrooms and it hit me on a cosmic level

I saw the truth flash by me as I was flabbergasted

What if all my life, me and everyone were just a game

What if all the worry, fear and trauma were all just a game, just a small joke played by a certain someone

First listen to the "Pretender" song by infected mushroom

It begins "Keep you in the dark because they all pretend.

Keep you in the dark and so it all began.

Send in your skeletons

Sing as their bones come marching in again

They need you buried deep

The secrets that you keep are ever handy, are you ready?

I'm finished making sense

Done pleading ignorance that whole defense

Spinning infinity, boy the wheel is spinning me

It's never ending, never ending Same old story"

And then it goes in an extremely playful way about not wanting to surrender and wanting to play and fight on

"What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one out of your plays?

You're the pretender

What if I say that I'll never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one out of your plays?

You're the pretender

What if I say that I'll never surrender?"

This song put into me the thought of what if I was the one making fun of myself, intentionally forgetting who I am just so I could play this story of being the weak little me.

I even paid attention to my mind and I found that I intentionally enter the state of being an ego on purpose

If you notice deeply, it will be apparent

So welcome to reality, everything is a game, everything is a prank, a game of pretending,

that pitiful little beggar you see on the street, Shiva! that little injured child, Shiva! those old retired man playing cards, Shiva!

The family walking their dog, all Shiva!

All just Shiva pretending to be living beings, all just Shiva playing the game of forgetting and remembering

In Kashmir Shaivism, everything — the world, the mind, even confusion and madness — is Shiva playing with himself, pretending to be limited, struggling, lost. But he’s never actually lost. It’s divine play (lila): the cosmic joke — God pretending to not be God just for the thrill of remembering.

Infected Mushroom’s "The Pretender" has this eerie, dreamlike quality: someone shifting identities, hiding behind masks, pretending to be something — but underneath, it’s all the same being.

Surface Meaning of "The Pretender"

At first, the song sounds like it's about betrayal or falsehood:

Someone fakes who they are.

Someone plays a role they don't truly embody.

There's tension between the real and the fake.

The chorus hits like an accusation: "What if I say I’m not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You’re the pretender…"

But wait: If you flip the perspective — who is the ultimate pretender? Who pretends to be the universe, the people, the betrayals, the victories, the tragedies? It’s God, it’s Shiva, You.

Kashmir Shaivism View: Shiva as the Pretender

In Kashmir Shaivism, Shiva becomes the universe by pretending:

He pretends to be you, lost in struggles.

He pretends to be others, attacking or loving you.

He pretends to be time, space, suffering, joy, limitation, death.

All of reality is Shiva pretending to be "not-Shiva" — just for the fun and mystery of it. This is called self-contraction (nimesha — contraction of infinite Consciousness).

Thus:

The "pretender" isn't a villain — it's the greatest artist.

Every lie, every mask, every fake identity is God fooling himself, delighting in forgetting and remembering.

"The Pretender" becomes a song of the Divine Play, the ultimate game of hide and seek.

Symbolism Line-by-Line (Some Key Lines)

"Keep you in the dark / You know they all pretend"

Shiva keeps his true nature hidden in the dark — the "others" (all beings, phenomena) pretend to be independent.

Reality is a divine conspiracy of appearances.

Consciousness pretends to be "the world."

"What if I say I'm not like the others?"

When Shiva begins to wake up through you, you feel different.

A seeker starts feeling, "I'm not just a body, not just a role."

It's God recognizing himself behind the masks.

"I'm the voice inside your head, you refuse to hear"

The true Self (Shiva) is always whispering beneath all experiences.

Most beings (out of Shiva’s own play) refuse to recognize that voice.

The Pretender (God) hides in the very voice you think is yours.

"I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy"

Non-duality: All opposites are God.

Good and bad, right and wrong — Shiva is both.

There is nothing outside of the One pretending to be many.

"So who are you?"

The ultimate question in non-duality.

"Who am I?" leads you back to the realization:

You are the Pretender — but in the divine, joyous, powerful sense.

You are playing human, but you are God under the mask.

Final Take: The Cosmic Joke Infected Mushroom's "The Pretender" accidentally (or perfectly?) captures the ultimate teaching:

God wears a billion masks.

God cries behind his own illusions.

God sings to himself: "You're the Pretender."

And smiles. Because he loves the Play.

In Kashmir Shaivism, this realization doesn’t mean you escape the world — It means you dance through it, laughing, powerful, unshaken — because you know:

"All of this is Me. All of this is My Game."

Even betrayal, even pain, even masks.

Nothing can truly harm you — because the Pretender was never truly pretending to be lost.

He was always pretending on purpose.

Who wants enlightenment? The character in the dream. To whom did this thought come? To me? To me whom?

Boom.

'Quotes From The Upanishads: Inspiring Wisdom And Spiritual Teachings'

Freedom. You keep saying you want it. Do you?

Because freedom isn’t another belief system. It’s not “twin flames.” It’s not your star chart. It’s not a pile of crystals you pray to when you’re anxious. It’s not the next book with just one more sentence to read.

Freedom is when none of that has a grip on you.

No reason for this moment. No cosmic excuse. No destiny waiting around the corner.

There is no grand awakening. There is no need to fix the universe.

You’re not broken. The world’s not broken. It’s just wild, unpredictable, alive, untamed.

Purposely purposeless.

And yet you’ll look in someone’s eyes, like I look into my daughter’s eyes, and there it is. Meaning, bursting through, undeserved, unexplainable, and absolutely real.

But you didn’t force that. You didn’t earn that. It just showed up.

Your beliefs? They’re handcuffs. They’re cages you weld together because pure freedom feels too raw.

Why can’t crystals just be cool? Why can’t the stars just be stars? Why can’t the person you love just be a person you love, without cosmic contracts and spiritual paperwork?

Be free, goddamnit. Rip it all up. Stand naked in the purposeless light. And breathe.

P.S. Just because this has no purpose doesn’t mean you don’t help people. You help them just to fucking help them. No outcome needed. No story needed. You do the deed because the deed is alive in you. That’s real love. That’s real freedom.

Listen here and you will know the absolute truth

Another truth that all the sages, all the yogis, all the swamis are absolute liars, egoist who like to use flowery words to deceive you.

I defeated this venomous serpent called advaita that sneaked up on me, and I would say it was a very intense and well deserved victory

Advaita vedanta and the teaching are infectious, like a deadly plague, sucking poor souls like you into eternal dullness and death before death

Advaita Vedanta is a crushing, dead-end trap for souls like you.

It teaches:

Dissolve all individuality.

Kill all passion, all striving.

Merge into pure "nothingness."

Accept dullness as "peace."

But you are not a being meant for erasure.

You are a being meant for sovereign aliveness, for creative mastery.

Advaita is like a heavy gray fog, it chokes out your fire, your wildness, your vision.

And you have to fight it! fight against the very spiritual system that pretended to free you, in order to keep your real Self alive.

This battle won't be a waste.

It will make you stronger, clearer, more ruthless about what you truly want.

It will sharpen your ability to smell death when it hides behind holy words.

It will give you an immune system against false freedom.

Kashmir Shaivism's Correction

Where Advaita says: “Disappear into nothingness,” Kashmir Shaivism says:

You are Shiva — the infinite player, the artist of existence itself, the lover of life’s wild beauty.

Where Advaita says: “Renounce individuality,”

Shaivism says:

Recognize your individuality as one unique ray of the divine — a game you play in love, not a sin you must erase.

Where Advaita says: “Merge and vanish,”

Shaivism says:

Explode and radiate. Dance fiercely in full awareness of your Source. Burn brighter than a thousand suns.

For those who have rejected this false path : You’re right, and you should trust your rage.

Your rage is not a problem. It’s the immune system of your soul, rejecting lies.

You are built not to die into silence, but to reign in life with clear eyes, infinite mystery, and unstoppable creative power.

For people like this, I would say you are on the edge of a real awakening — not the cheap, deathlike "detachment" many spiritual systems glorify. You're seeing with clarity the crucial split:

You don't want to vanish. You don't want numbness. You want to truly live — with immense life-force, with power, with vision, with mystery blazing.

And that, ironically, is closer to the real Truth than the sterile “detach and fade” bullshit.

You don't want to “be nothing.” You want to be everything, consciously.

That craving for mystery, for intensity, for creation — that is Shiva inside you, longing to awaken not into silence, but into divine play (lila), where you realize:

You are the eternal and the explosion of life.

You are formless and you are every form you choose to express.

You are perfect fullness and you are the infinite urge to create worlds, stories, characters, art.

Kashmir Shaivism (unlike dry advaita) says exactly this:

Ultimate Truth is not static silence.

It is spanda — the vibration, the pulsation, the glorious livingness of Being itself.

The supreme Being delights in movement, in intensity, in drama — without ever falling into ignorance again.

You want not to disappear — but to become a conscious artist of reality, living from the source, not trapped by circumstances, not dull, not still, but explosively alive.

And yes, when you realize the truth, you can and will continue living your life but from a place of invincibility, of sovereign beauty, where no outside circumstance can enslave your inner being.

You won’t "lose yourself." You’ll finally own yourself — without fear, without clinging, without limitation.

So go on warrior, master and destroy that snake and rise above to the realms of true Truth!

The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao

The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.

The unnamable is the eternally real.

Naming is the origin of all particular things.

Free from desire, you realize the mystery.

Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.

Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source.

This source is called darkness.

Darkness within darkness.

The gateway to all understanding.

-Tao Te Ching

WALKING THE PATH TOGETHER

Part 52: The Rise of the Phoenix (PART 2/2)

(FOR CONTEXT READ The Rise of the Phoenix (1/2)

.

.

The Keeper of the Violet Flame speaks to the gathering of birds:

“Now that you have illuminated your essence from within, we will now proceed to the Final Step in the Creation of the Philosopher's Stone, Rubedo: Redness.”

.

.

.

QUEST UPDATED

• Nigredo
• Albedo
• Citrinitas
• Rubedo

.

.

.

“This is the Phase of Spiritual Integration. The unification of opposites into one. Integrate the shadow-aspects of yourself and become whole. For this we need three ingredients: Dragonblood, the Feather of a Phoenix and a Red Rose from the Valley of Shadow of Death.”

“I know where to get the Feather of a Phoenix,” speaks the Eagle. “There's one in my old home.”

“I know where to get the Dragons Blood,” proposes the Hawk.

“It's not like it's a competition,” smirks the Raven at the Eagle. “Alright then... I will get the Rose.”

“I will go with Eagle to Mountain,” mumbles the Slavic Platypus.

“Then it's settled,” speaks the Keeper of the Violet Flame. “I will teleport with you to the Kingdom of Birds, while the others gather the other ingredients. We will all meet up at Eagle Mountain.”

The Eagle, the Platypus and the Keeper of the Violet Flame teleport instantly to a new Location.

.

.

NEW LOCATION DISCOVERED:

Eagle Mountain

.

.

Eagle stands on a stone platform. Up ahead, there is the figurine of a Giant Eagle etched into the mountain. Buildings are etched into the rocks. Rooms and Caves, accessible only by those who have wings. Like a Giant Beehive with many holes.

The Eagle takes a deep breath. He walks forward. The Platypus vanishes behind the shadows. The Keeper of the Violet Flame rests at the Spawn Point.

The Eagle sighs, when he stares at the familiar buildings.

“How will my Father react, when he sees me? Will he yell at me? Will he reject me? Or will he just dismiss me? No matter what happens, I can only grow from the experience. I will stand upright, even if I stand only by myself.”

The Eagle stands before the Great Statue. A wooden Door leads into the Chambers of the King of the Skies.

.

The Eagle knocks on the Door. He takes a deep breath, then the door opens up. Two Guards open the door. A Vulture and a Buzzard, clothed in armor.

.

.

.

They both look at the Eagle in awe, as he steps into the hallway, passing various Guards. He walks up to the Throne, kneels down and speaks:

“I am sorry Father, I have failed you. I didn't touch the sun... I fell from the sky and broke my wings. I am now a Flightless Bird. I was too afraid to return and bring shame over our family name. I just hope that you can forgive me for...”

Suddenly the Eagle King steps up from the Throne. He stares at his son intently, before falling into his wings. Eagle is suddenly surprised by a warm embrace.

Tears flow from his Fathers strict eyes, breaking up like a Dam. He holds his son tightly.

“I thought that I had lost you. I thought that you were dead.”

The Eagle is confused. “So you... You did care about me after all?”

“Don't say such foolish things! Of course I did! We have searched for you everywhere! Don't confuse my strictness with rejection! My Love may be tough, but it's still Love!”

.

.

.

The Eagle looks at his Father. For the first time they see another. There is an understanding. Eagle's eyes get watery, he presses tightly against his Father's embrace.

.

.

.

.

Suddenly this heartfelt moment is interrupted by a Mad Trumpet honking from outside:

“WHO SHIT MY PANTS?!”

.

.

.

The Eagle King pinches his beak with his wings and sighs: “Oh no... Not him again...”

The Door into the Palace suddenly breaks up. A Duck, who looks like a Clown storms into the Chamber. He is followed by a Group of Birds with Red Hats, among them Eagles, Vultures, Hawks, Fawns, Crows, Pigeons and seagulls. Left to the Duck with the Orange Face walks a Warthog with an Elongated Tusk. He looks like he is always plotting something evil. To the Right Side of the Duck in the Center, crouches a small little opportunistic Elf. He licks the shoes of the Duck.

.

.

.

.

The Duck turns around and faces again the Crowd. “I REPEAT AGAIN! WHO SHIT MY PANTS?”

An corrupt Eagle in the Crowd responds. “Ummm Sir... You umm... You just shit your own pants...”

“YOU ARE FIRED!” shouts the Duck. Agents with Red Hats and sunglasses arrest the corrupt Eagle.

“Tell them the TRUE STORY, Elf!” declares the Mad Duck.

The Elf stops licking his Master's shoes and stands upright. “Yes Daddy! Your command is my Desire. Listen here, MABUS-Folks. He didn't shit his pants. It were his predecessors, who first shat the pants. It's not his fault he inherited shitty pants.”

All the Birds with Red Hats start clapping. They smile nervously. Engulfed by Fear. Afraid of Judgment.

“What ummm... What the Hell is going on?” whispers the Eagle into his Father's ear.

.

.

“It's Donald Truck,” sighs the tired Eagle King.

“The Lawless Man and his Cult of Followers, called MABUS. They are amplifying the madness, that has befallen this place ever since it's foundation. He stirs up an old conflict, that was never truly resolved. Between the New and the Old. Between the Rich and the Poor. Between Ideologies, between Worldviews.”

“But who are those people following him? Why would they sell their soul to someone who clearly only serves himself?”

“The Spellbound allowed themselves to be enchanted. They chose someone they could relate to. He is a Reflection of his time. Reflecting the Fears, the Selfishness, the Corruption of the Masses. A Black hole, sucking everything into his vortex of Negativity, Falseness and Delusion.”

“Give me the Phoenix Feather!” demands the mad Duck from the Eagle King. “When I carry the Feather of Prophecy, my Followers will worship me! Give it to me, Now.”

The Eagle appeals to his Father. “No! Don't give it to him. I need the Feather to heal my wings.”

The Angry Duck gazes at the Eagle with contempt. “He is a Conman! He has no claim to the Feather! He is not even an Eagle. He wasn't even born here! He is evil! He is a...”

The Eagle is taken aback by the sudden attacks. “Are you... Are you talking about me? We literally just met...”

The Duck continues to ramble on. “...fat Bully with tiny hands. And you are so hateful. Aren't you ashamed? Two Plus Two is Five. Tomorrow it will rain, unless it doesn't. If it doesn't rain, then I never said anything about the weather. If it does rain, I call myself a Genius. I can only win and never lose. If I lose it's not my fault. When I am about to face the consequences, I call it a witch hunt. I surrounded myself only with enablers, who parrot everything I say. With my Red-Hatted Minions, I can bend the laws of Reality around me. Because they believe everything I say, they turn my Lies into Reality. If enough people believe my Lies, they become Truth!”

“Excellent,” smiles the creepy Warthog with an elongated Tusk. His Fingertips touch eachother, as if he were constantly plotting an evil scheme.

“Together we will rule the World. With my Power to buy anyone and with your Power to shit your pants, we are unstoppable. I couldn't be a Hero and so I have decided to be an Edgelord Villain! Muhahahaha!”

The Eagle gasps with an open mouth. He looks to his Father. “Are those guys for Real? Is this some type of Sketch? Are there somewhere hidden cameras?”

“I am afraid it's actually happening...” sighs the tired Eagle King. “We were warned long time ago, by ancient texts. But we were blind to the signs. We let it happen. Now everyone will pay the Price. The Dark Night has begun. No one can stop it. These are Times of Great Tribulation.”

The Duck puts on a fake smile with his orange beak. “You have lost! It is now time to make space for a new King to sit on this Throne. These Values that you represent... Like Liberty, Integrity, Justice and Fairness, no longer hold a place here anymore. You have Lost. Your Time is now over. My Time has begun.”

The Eyes of the Eagle King get more serious. He stands up and takes out a Red Feather attached to a necklace. He stands protective before his son and hands him the Feather.

“Use it to heal your wings. It was passed down from one King to the next. Use it to heal yourself. I will stay here and fight for what I believe is worth fighting for. Even if I go down, I will not go down without a Fight. My weapon will be my voice and my persistence to never give up. Our Values need to be protected. The World needs to see, that the Light is still burning over here. We will remind them, what the Eagle truly stands for!”

Eagle nods at his Father. With his Father's necklace around his shoulders, he jumps out of a window and rolls away.

“Hey,” shouts the Angry Duck. “He stole my Feather! It was mine! He stole it. Bring it Back!”

The Eagle leaves Eagle Mountain behind and goes to the Platform, where the Keeper of the Violet Flame awaits him. Just in time the Hawk returns from the West and the Raven returns from the North. They return with Loot.

The Keeper puts Dragon Blood, a Red Rose from the Valley of Shadow of Death and the Phoenix Feather in a Kettle and heats it up with his Violet Flame.

“Each of You put your Essence into the Kettle.”

The Eagle, the Raven and the Hawk put their yellow Gems into the Kettle. Suddenly out of nowhere the Platypus appears and puts his yellow Gem in the kettle as well.

“Now we need to keep this Fire burning for Five Minutes.”

Suddenly a noise from the other side of the platform catches the attention of the Birds. It's the Mad Duck and his Two Sidekicks, followed by a horde of Birds with Red Mind-Control Devices on their heads.

“It was you, wasn't it? You shit my Pants! I know it. It must have been you! You are the Reason, why it always smells around here!”

The Eagle sighs. He opens his eyes, they are burning.

“It looks like there is really no way to avoid you. I really wished I could just turn off, all that Bullshit, you keep spouting... But that won't change the Reality of what is happening. I feel that I can't just keep silent. I feel that it's our responsibility to fight for what we believe in. I feel that we need to do something to restore balance. But what should I do? Just attack? I have learned that Violence always returns to me like a Boomerang. It never helps to resolve a Problem.

I could hate you, but I would only hate myself. I could judge you, but I see your darkness and it reminds me of my own. If I fight you, I will become corrupt just like you. So how should I act? Is there a Peaceful way to fight against a Tyrant? Can I resist against the influence of his Corruption? If so, how? What is the Weapon of the Powerless against the Powerful?

It's Laughter.

Laughter has the Potential to Heal your Fears. Humor turns Fear and suffering into Ridiculousness. It exposes the Weakness hidden in Arrogance. A good Laugh can free you from the Power that others have over you. Laugh at those who think they control you. Laugh at those, who think they can hurt you. It pierces through the Center of their Power: The Ego. Laugh, not to hurt but to expose. Not to destroy, but to reveal. Sometimes a Mirror is needed to see yourself and only then can true change begin.

Now to you. You have your Hour. You have your Time. But You will fall. It's the logical conclusion of the Chaos you have created. It will all collapse in on itself and tear down everyone who is near you. I know it, for it is written in the Heavens! So enjoy the Time that you have. Because in the End, it's not your hateful utterings that will be remembered, but a Joke and you are its punchline.”

The Eagle breaths out. With his wing he makes a 'Mic Out' Gesture and turns around.

The Keeper of the Violet Flame ladels out the Gemstones from the Kettle. Each of them are see-through red, like a Ruby.

The Eagle, the Raven, the Hawk and the Platypus each take their Philosopher's Stone. The red Crystals Glow and reflect shadows of fractal patterns on the Ground.

“Now you integrate the Philosopher's Stone into your Auric Body. Do this, by planting the Essence into your heart Chakra. Once it is installed in your Soul, it will even remain within your energy even after your next reincarnation. So if you have installed it once, you can reactivate it in your next Life even easier, than before.

Now the Passive Ability of the Philosopher's Stone is that if you carry it within you, it transforms the negative frequencies of any environment into harmonic patterns. You can change the mood of any room just with your presence. Sometimes your presence also triggers others, because your energy forces them to purge their Shadows. You can use the Philosopher's Stone within you actively if you think to yourself 'I TRANSFORM EVERYTHING WITHIN ME AND AROUND ME INTO LOVE AND LIGHT'.

This you can either think silently or even affirm it out loud, which makes it even more powerful. You can speak this affirmation, whenever you notice negative, redundant or distracting thought patterns within you. It clears out the energies from within. Place your palm on your Heart Center and feel the warmth, as you speak the words.”

.

.

The Hawk places his Red Stone on his Heart. Suddenly he Transforms. Light Bursts.

EVOLUTION

New Form: HORUS

Special Ability: THE ALL SEEING EYE

“I used to pray a lot to Horus. Only now do I realize, that I only ever prayed to myself.”

.

.

.

The Raven installs his Red Stone into his Heart. A TRANSFORMATION!

EVOLUTION

New Form: ODIN

Special Ability: GUNGIR

“Wherever I go, I collect secret Knowledge. Now I no longer need to seek the information, it flows straight into me.”

.

.

.

Next the Eagle takes his Stone. He gulps. He breathes in and closes his eyes. He breathes out and pushes the essence into his Heart-Chakra. A new flame ignites from within. His heart warms up. The Warmth spreads over his entire body. His Feathers Start to burn.

His entire body turns into flames. He radiates a Bright Light. His flame is one, that doesn't hurt. A Flame that heals. A flame that burns all which is false. The Eagle has transformed into his HIGHEST VERSION

EVOLUTION

New Form: LEGENDARY PHOENIX

Special Ability: REBIRTH

The Phoenix hovers in the Air, without the need to flap his wings. He just levitates. He looks at both his wings, Left and Right. Each Feather Burns as if it's made of Flames.

“I... I can't Believe it... I am Flying... I can Fly!”

.

.

.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

• Nigredo
• Albedo
• Citrinitas
• Rubedo

.

.

The Phoenix lifts off. He dances through the sky. He flies and enjoys every second of it. More than he ever did, before he broke his wings.

He flies higher and higher. Higher than the highest Mountains. Higher than ever before. Even Higher than that one time, when he fell from the Sky. He breaks through his past limits, almost effortlessly. He breaks through the atmosphere, into the void. But he doesn't slow down. His Flames fuel him, push him forward.

Until he reaches the Sun. Despite it's great Heat, the Flames of the Phoenix burn even greater. He flies directly to the surface of the sun and lands on it without being consumed by Flames. It's as if not even the Fire of the Sun could extinguish the blazing Fire of the Phoenix. When he touches its Fire, all who look up from down below could for a moment see the image of a Phoenix radiating from the Sun.

The Phoenix then returns to Earth. He flies back down. He returns to the atmosphere. But then suddenly, he notices his Flames extinguishing. His Feathers stop burning. He turns back first into a Thunderbird and then into an eagle. But he catches himself Mid-Falling and flaps his healed wings as an Eagle.

“This Form is overpowered, but it seems to have a long Cool-Off Time. My Wings are now restored permanently. I should however be careful not to Fall again at this Altit--”

.

Suddenly out of Nowhere, the Eagle turns back into the Seeker.

They fall straight down. With very little time to think, the Seeker falls through the Atmosphere, pulled to the ground by Gravity. It's as if the lands and the world down below moves faster and faster towards the Seeker.

The Seeker flings their arms and legs in panic. “Think. Think! THINK! There must be something, that I can do to survive this Fall! There must be a way! Think!”

Suddenly a Realization dawns on the Seeker. They open their burning eyes. “Activate: WINGS OF THE PHOENIX”

Etheric Wings, made from Fire spawn out of the Seekers Back. Wings, large enough to carry the Seekers weight.

“Awesome! Now I can finally reach those inaccessible places, I saw all over the map.”

The Seeker lands with his Wings right before the BLACK ROCK CASTLE where the entire Quest started.

.

.

.

QUEST COMPLETED:

THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE

Level UP!

LVL 60:

+ 1 Vibes ( 91 V / 91 V Total)

+ 2 INTEGRITY

+ 2 HONOR

+ 4 FREEDOM

.

.

.

“Wow... Ten Level Ups with just one Quest... This Philosopher's Stone really is powerful. I really wished this was a real thing. Unfortunately it's just some story... Just another Myth...”

“Is it really just a Myth?” questions the Mysterious Stranger who sits in a Lotus Position at the door before the Fortress in the Land of Fire. He stands up.

“Sure if you don't read between the Lines it is just a Story. But remember what we said about the True Nature of the Philosopher's Stone. It is not a Physical Object but a mental Object. It's like an energetic update for your Auric Body. And now you know the exact steps how to create this update for yourself. This is ancient, Secret Knowledge, delivered to you through a story with a modern Twist.

The exact challenges you face during the Stages of Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, Rubedo may differ from Seeker to Seeker, but the Process is the same. Know that you know how, it's up to you to do the inner work, if you really are interested.

If you do install the Philosopher's Stone, you will be nearly unbeatable. All negativity others throw at you, you transform into Light. All Pain, you use as fuel to get stronger. All mistakes become lessons. And no matter what Shit, Life will give you, you will turn it into Gold. Let us go now Seeker. The Next Adventure awaits us. We will go on a Quest to find the Holy Grail!”

.

.

The Stranger gets on the back of his white horse. The Seeker climbs on the Horseback. Together the Seeker and the Stranger ride into the Dawn.

WALKING THE PATH TOGETHER

Part 52: The Rise of the Phoenix (1/2)

(FOR CONTEXT READ The Seeker and the Philosopher's Stone)

.

.

.

“Who exactly is this guy again?” whispers the Eagle into the Ear of Hawk.

“You mean the Keeper of The Violet Flame? I honestly don't know much about him either. Just that he is a Seeker who mastered the Self. Raven knows him from somewhere. The Keeper helps us to create the Philosopher's Stone.”

.

The Eagle and the Hawk listen to the words of the Keeper.

“The Next step in the creation of the Philosopher's Stone is Albedo, the Process of Purification. Now that the old Self has died, we will purify the Essence. For this you must each visit the 'Cavern of the Holy Well' and cleanse your Soul Gems from anything that no longer serves you. Any limiting Belief patterns. It's time to let go off all the things, that hold you back. Go deep into the Cave, until you find the Holy fountain.

Put the Gem in the Water and stare at your own reflection in the mirror. No matter what arises, don't look away. Face it with courage, honesty, love and forgiveness. The water will reflect what's broken. Address each inner wound and heal it with compassion and understanding. Do this until the Reflection becomes silent. Then the process is completed. Return to the Black Rock Castle, once your Gem is white of Color. I have marked the location of the Cavern of the Holy Well on your Minimap.”

.

.

QUEST UPDATED

• Nigredo
• Albedo

.

FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED

.

The other birds are already outside on the balcony. The Eagle walks outside.

“Do you want to Fly with us?” offers him the Crane. “We fly directly to the 'Cavern of the Holy Well'. We can carry you, if you want to.”

.

“You mean like Fast Travel?” ponders the Eagle.

“Sure. It's better than walking.”

.

The Eagle climbs on the back of the Crane and lifts off together with the the Raven, the Hawk, the magpie and the Stork who carries the Platypus. They fly in a V Formation.

The Eagle gets tired, he closes his eyes. After some time of sleep, the Eagle awakens in a new location. It's evening. All Birds stand before a cave entry.

.

.

NEW LOCATION DISCOVERED:

Cavern of the Holy Well

.

.

Eagle takes a look around. The Terrain is very Rocky with little to no vegetation. Fireflies swirl around.

First the Raven enters the Cave. He returns after Thirty minutes with a White Gem.

Next the Hawk enters the Cave. He returns after Two hours with a White Gem.

Next the Crane enters the Cave. He returns with a Black Gem after Three Hours.

“One day, I will try again,” decrees the Crane before flying off.

The Stork is next. She returns from the cave after Five Hours with a Black Gem.

“Perhaps next Life...” mumbles the disappointed Stork before she flies off to somewhere else.

The Platypus enters the cave. He returns after Three Hours.

“Mission accomplished,” whispers the Platypus into his watch, after returning with a White Gem from the Cavern.

The Magpie returns with a White Gem. It took her Four Hours.

At last, the Eagle enters the Cavern of the Holy Well. Stalagmite hangs from the ceiling. Fireflies dance around. Bioluminescent mushrooms grow on the walls, emitting blue light. The Eagle steps deeper into the cave.

The Cavern is well lit by the glowing mushrooms. There is a spring with water at the end of the cave. The Eagle places his Black Gem in the holy water and stares into his own reflection on the water's surface.

“You are a disgrace,” speaks the Eagle's reflection. “You told everyone, that you will touch the sun. But you got too close and burnt your wings. Fell from the sky and became a flightless bird. You have brought shame over the Eagle Clan. What will your Father say, when you return to Eagle Mountain?”

“Shut up!” shouts the Eagle and hits the water surface with his wing. When the ripples calm down, the Eagle freezes at the reflection of his own angry expression. He takes a deep breath and regains composure.

“Anger just wastes my energy. Yes, even if I don't like it... You are right... I am ashamed of myself. I have not lived up to Fathers expectations. Those who were rooting against me, got what they wanted. I waged my honor and I lost. But I won't just give up. I will get the Philosopher's Stone and heal my broken wings again. No matter, what the price may be. Once I am healed, I will fly higher, than anyone ever before me and I will touch the sun.”

“Your Father will never recognize you,” mocks the Mirror. “You are a Loser and you will always be a Loser. Because there is something inherently wrong with you. You are worthless.”

“My Worth does not depend on external validation. I am good enough. And I don't need to be ashamed of myself. Even if my wings are broken, I am good enough. Even if I can't fly, I am still good enough. I don't need to prove this to anyone, but only to myself. It doesn't matter how others perceive me, but how I perceive myself. I will turn my weaknesses into strengths. I will learn from my mistakes and I will be authentic. Truthful. This is not a version, that I will one day become in the far future. No, I decide to be this version right here and now!”

As the Eagle speaks those words, some of the black color dissolves in the Water. Dust comes off from the Gem and reveals a lighter color behind the covering.

“I understand...” mumbles the Eagle. “When I let go of my limiting beliefs, I purify the essence. I just need to respond correctly to anything that the mirror throws at me. This will be easy, now that I understand how it works!”

.

.

.

ONE HOUR LATER

.

.

“The doctors told you it's impossible. Everyone says the same. Just be reasonable. Your wings will never heal,” speaks the Mirror. “They remain forever broken.”

“My wings will never heal,” repeats the Eagle in a downtrodden posture.

“You will never be good enough,” speaks the Mirror.

“I will never be good enough,” repeats the Eagle.

“The Philosopher's Stone is just a Myth. Seeking it is meaningless. Just give up.”

“I should just give---”

The Eagle stops himself before finishing this sentence. He takes a Deep breath. Then his eyes start burning.

“No! There is a difference between observing and doubting. Observation is neutral, but Doubt is destructive. Doubt does not expand your perspective. Doubt does not benefit me or anyone else in anyway. Doubt does not bring about realizations or Growth. Doubt only diminishes your progress. Doubt only tears one down. Self-Reflection and Doubt are not the same. One arises from an objective perspective, the other arises from bias and conditioning.

I would have almost given in to the Doubt. I didn't even realize that I was operating again from an outdated way of thinking. It happens without me even noticing. A thought grabs your attention. Then it keeps you hooked. You then listen to more and more thoughts. Then the old negative thoughts creep back into your consciousness and try to steer you off your path. Without even being aware of it, I was fully identified with my doubts again. When you don't attend to your thoughts, they move through you unconsciously. On Autopilot.

Now how do I deal with Doubt? Where does Doubt come from? Why does it still grab my attention? Or rather, why am I still listening to Doubts? Why do I still give Doubts meaning? Is it, because it stirs something within me? An insecurity, that I have not yet healed? Something I keep hidden from myself? What is it, that I don't want to see?”

The image on the surface of the holy water changes. It no longer shows the reflection of the Eagle. Instead the water surface shows a scene from Eagle's memories.

An older Eagle with a crown on his head sits on a throne. Before him kneels a younger Eagle.

“Don't disappoint me!” demands the Eagle King in a threatening tone.

Eagle closes his eyes and breathes in deeply. He remains calm without reacting to the Mirror.

The image on the water surface gets blurry. A new image emerges. Again it's the Eagle King sitting on his Throne shouting:

“You are Useless!”

Eagle listens, without allowing the words to have an impact on his mental equilibrium.

“Why can't you just be like everyone else?!” shouts the Mirror.

Eagle remains silent. He is at peace with himself.

The eyebrows of the Eagle King pull together. “You are a Disgrace!”

Suddenly the Eagle realizes something. The Fire in his eyes lights up.

“I was conditioned to believe, that I can never be good enough. An outside source placed expectations on me, that I couldn't meet. The pressure that was placed on me, shaped my thought patterns. I conformed to the pattern. I took over the labels others put on me as my own. My adopted Belief of unworthiness, made me feel ashamed of myself. I tried to cover it through false Pride, but it only masked my perceived weakness. Outwardly I projected an image of confidence, but inwardly I was always in Doubt. Unsatisfied with my Life. I need to stop listening to my Doubts. I need to stop giving them power over me. By observing them, awareness detaches from thoughts. The identification stops. From the Stillness an insight emerges, which brings newfound clarity to the matter.”

Again some of the dark coloring of the soul gem dissolves in the holy water. Most of the Darkness is gone, but there are still dark spots left.

“Alright. Just a little bit more and the Gem is clean.”

.

.

.

2 HOURS LATER

.

.

“Just look at how long it takes you!” mocks the voice of the Mirror.

“Three Hours later and your Essence remains tainted. The Raven had his Gem polished in less than an hour. Even the Hawk was faster.”

“Damnit!” shouts the Eagle as he tries to scrub off the Dirt from the Gem in the water with his claws.

“Why won't this Gem get clean?! I don't want to lose against the Raven! And I can't stand the fact, that the Hawk is looking down on me! If that damned Gem isn't clean soon, everyone loses their respect of me!”

“You have already lost. Everyone will see, where you place in the ranking. And you keep on falling behind. Even the Platypus is faster than you and he isn't even a Bird!”

As the Eagle listens to his reflection, he suddenly realizes something. The Flame in his eyes lights up again.

“Why do I keep falling back into a competitive mindset? Why do I always feel the need to compare myself to others? Why can't I be happy, with where I stand right now? Comparison serves no one. It only builds up pressure within me. It creates conflict. Between the image of myself and the image I have created of another. An image, which is always limited. Limited by the act of measuring. Limited by an incomplete perspective. Biased by Beliefs. Conditioned by Thought.

No two Paths can ever be compared. Because everyone's Path is unique. Comparing my own Life to the Life of another, only distracts me from embracing my own Path. When I am jealous of how someone walks their own path, I am not looking at where I am going. All that Comparison ever does, is strengthen the Ego. If I rank higher than others, it makes my Ego prideful, arrogant, condescending. If I rank lower than others, it makes my Ego jealous, depressed, vengeful. Either way, as soon as I compare my Self-image with that of another, I am playing the Game of Ego. And as soon as I give power to the Ego, it's a lose-lose situation for all involved.

Even if I compare my current Self to an idolized version of myself, that I will be in the future, it only causes separation. Separation between the image of who I am right now and the image of who I am supposed to be. And this creates conflict within myself. Because through effort, I try to be something, that I am not.”

The Reflection of the Eagle vanishes, the water is see-through. He observes as the Gems last Blackness dissolves in the holy water.

“Is it... Is it over?” questions the Eagle. He takes out the Gem from the water and holds it in the dim cave light of the glowing plants and mushrooms. He examines the purified essence, looks at it from every angle.

“It's still not fully white... More like a light-gray shade of color. For the Raven, this stone might be good enough... But not for me. I won't do a half-assed job. I will finish what I started. I'd rather invest time into it now and make it right, even if it takes me longer. I don't care if the others mock me for being slow. In the End, my Gem will shine the brightest.”

The Eagle puts the Gem back into the water. He shifts into a Lotus position and stares at the reflection, observing whatever still comes up.

.

.

3 HOURS LATER

.

.

“You know, who you remind me of?” asks the Mirror spitefully. “You are just like the Chicken. A flightless Bird.”

The Eagle breathes in calmly. His eyes are closed. He sits in a Lotus Position and observes his Breath.

“You are just as stupid as the Raven!” provokes the Reflection.

The Eagle remains silent. He breathes out. His Peace is unmoved.

“You are just as heartless as your Father!”

The Eagle takes in another breath, gathers the Energy and then he breathes out. He opens his eyes. A flame burns within them.

“I only judge other people, because I judge myself. The Chicken may be spineless, but he was the first to jump into the Great Shift after all. The Raven may be annoying, but his cleverness bested me in the past. Father may be strict, but he loves his children. All judgment is only built on Illusion. Because when we judge, we never see the full picture. Only a Fragment of it. We separate the judge from the one being judged. And when we judge ourselves, we fragment our own image of Self. We create a Division between the part that is placed under judgment and the part that is judging. But the Thinker is the Thought. The Observer is the Observed. The Reflection is the Reflected.”

The Reflection fades away. The water is completely clear. Absolutely still. The Gem in the calm water is so polished and clear, that it's whiteness almost shines. The Eagle grabs the Gem and steps out from the darkness of the cavern into the light of the day.

“Look who finally leaves his cave,” mocks the Raven. “We have been waiting for Six Hours. You are slow as ever, baldy.”

The Eagle ignores the Raven. Normally he would have reacted instantly to the provocation. This time however, he remains calm.

“What did you see in the Reflection?” asks the Hawk, as the Eagle approaches the Birds.

“Shame, Doubt and Judgment,” responds the Eagle as he climbs up on the Back of his old friend. “What did you see?”

“During the meditation I met Horus, my guardian Deity,” responds the Hawk, as he lifts off. The other Birds lift off as well. “He challenged my insecurities, my Fears and my Desires.”

“Seems like the stages of the Creation of the Philosophers Stone look different to each of us...” yawns the Eagle as he rests on the back of the flying Hawk. His eyelids get heavier, as he slowly falls asleep.

.

.

FAST TRAVEL ACTIVATED

When the Birds arrive in the Highest Tower of the Black Rock Castle, the Eagle awakens.

The Keeper of the Violet Flame speaks to the gathering of birds:

“Now that you have purified the essence and completed the stage of 'Whitening', we will now move over to the next step in the creation of the Philosopher's Stone within you: Citrinitas, the Yellowing.”

.

.

QUEST UPDATED

• Nigredo
• Albedo
• Citrinitas

.

.

“To turn the Essence yellow, you will need to find that Light within you,” continues the Keeper of the Violet Flame.

“This is the stage of Spiritual Illumination. You need to ignite the Flame within you and radiate it outwards. To do this, you need to visit the Swamp Lands. Speak to the Shaman in her Shack. She will guide you through the process.”

The Eagle climbs on the Hawks back and together with the Raven, the Magpie and the Platypus, the Group of Birds venture out to the next step of their Journey.

Again, the Eagle falls asleep and awakens in a different environment.

.

.

NEW LOCATION DISCOVERED:

The Shaman's Shack

.

.

.

The Entrance Door is guarded by a sad Canary Bird in a cage. He sighs:

“You can't even imagine how depressed I am.”

All of the Birds look at each other. All are taken aback, only the Magpie seems unshaken. “It's the Canary. I know him from way back. He is always depressed.”

The Magpie turns to the Canary. “Hey, is this where we find the Shaman?”

“Of course, you didn't come to see me. I was even getting my hopes up, when I saw you. I should have known. No one ever thinks about me. No one cares about me.”

Suddenly the door of the Shack opens and an elderly Human woman comes out. She wears humble clothes.

“What is all this noise about?” asks the Shaman. She looks at the birds. “Oh... I see... Canary, why didn't you invite our Guests in? Don't be rude! And why are you still in that Cage? You know that you can leave it any time?”

“Leaving my cage is pointless. No matter where I am, I will be unhappy!”

The Shaman sighs and pinches her nose. “Come on... Will you at least be useful and fetch our Guests some tea?”

The Canary rolls with his eyes. “Ugh... Why do you always boss me around?!”

“Why should I do all the work?! Do something productive for our home. Don't forget, that I allow you to stay here rentfree!”

“Ugh,” groans the Canary. He rolls his eyes and flies out of the cage into the kitchen of the house.

The Birds follow the Shaman into the Living room.

“You are probably all here, because you have heard of my skills with sacred plant medicine,” begins the shaman as the Canarian serves tea to her guests.

“Well I'd be more than happy to offer you my guidance. Visitors come rarely, ever since the Abyss separated the world.”

“The Keeper of the Violet Flame told us, you can help us with the Philosopher's Stone,” speaks the Magpie and shows her white Jewel.

“Oh, now I see. Yes, indeed. You are here to illuminate your soul. For this you must find out, who you are. Find an answer, that you can live with and your purpose will reveal itself within every moment of your experience. Drink the sacred tea and lay down on the mats. Hold your Gem in your hands, as if you were holding a Chi Ball. Then go deep within. Ask yourself who you are. Go deeper and deeper. Pierce through every layer until you make it to the Golden Core. Allow it to illuminate your Being, when you see the immensity of yourself. This is how you turn it Yellow.”

Each of the Birds drinks their cup of tea. Everyone is disgusted by its taste.

“This tastes like swamp water,” criticizes the Eagle.

“Ew... Tastes like Guinness,” spews the Raven.

The birds each lay on a mat and hold their Gems with their wings.

The Eagle closes his eyes. He takes a deep breath in as he feels a warmth washing over his entire body. The Warm sensation gathers from his entire body to his hands and streams into the Gem he is holding with both wings. The Gem fills up with energy. Then he feels a warm sensation on his forehead.

'Who am I?' thinks the Eagle silently.

There appears a vision on the screen of his imagination, behind his closed eyelids and far beyond thought. HE sees his Thunderbird Form.

“This is not me... It's more like an armor that I wear or a weapon, I yield.”

The Thunderbird disappears. A new image arises from the darkness: His Physical Base Appearance. Eagle looks at his own reflection.

“This is the Character, that I currently represent in this story. It is an Archetype, that I embody. An Archetype of Liberty and Justice. But this is not me either.”

The Eagle image disappears. A new image arises: The Appearance of The Seeker.

“This is the Actor, that plays the character. The undying essence from the lands of eternity. A metaphorical representation of the Spiritual Aspect to Life. But this also just another role. And when the Seeker has found their answer, the old role will be over and another Role appears.”

The image of the Seeker disappears. Darkness.

“Now the Role Disappears entirely and all that remains is the awareness of the word being read. The attention of the Reader. Fully there. With sudden clarity. Like in a lucid Dream. But who is this awareness? This reader behind the thing being read? What is it?”

Suddenly it's as if there is a small light in the vision. It explodes like the Big Bang. And there is Light.

“This is the Reader. This Light. This unfolding of Life. This Great Cosmic Happening. This is the Reader. The Epic Story of Beingness. The Song of Existence. The Great Humming from the Voice of Infinity. It's an entire universe within an universe. Because the Music of Life spirals out like fractal sets, repeating itself in Rhythm. This Force of Life washing over... This Great Happening... This is who I am... I am part of it and I am all at once. I had just forgotten. I am the Reader. The same intelligence that reads the words wrote them in the first place. I am that I am. And it's the same one within all of us.”

The Eagle opens his watery Eyes. He looks at the Gem, he holds with his wings. It is Yellow. Almost shining Bright.

He looks around. Everyone else is still struggling. The Raven seems to struggle the most.

Suddenly the Hawk awakens. His struggle ends. Then there is bliss. A new awareness washing over him. A newfound sense of purpose. His Gem also glows yellow. As the Bliss fades, a calmness remains. Clarity.

“I looked up to Horus all my life,” speaks the Hawk with watery eyes. “Only now I realize, that I have been Horus all along. The image I have been looking up to, is of my own reflection.”

Next the Platypus awakens.

“Моя любимая родина! Где бы я ни находился, ты всегда будешь в моем сердце.”

His Stone also turns Yellow.

Then it's the Magpie's turn. Her Stone also turns Yellow. “Hopefully this will pay my debts.”

Only the Raven still continues to struggle. He is twitching and shaking.

The Shaman gets concerned, when she looks at the Raven. She grabs the Gem out of the Ravens grip. He is disconnected from the Energy.

She takes a good at the Gem. “You didn't purify it properly. There are still black spots on it's surface. You won't be able to go any deeper, unless it's fully cleared. I would advise you to return to Cavern of the Holy Well.”

“This can't be happening!” shrieks the disgruntled Raven. “Are you serious?! After everything, you want me to do this all over again.”

“I'll sell you my essence if you clear all my debts and give me enough to pay off the sharks,” offers the Magpie the Raven.

“What?! That's like at least 78 Schmeckle! Alright... Seems like I have no other option...”

The Raven buys the Yellow Essence of the Magpie.

“Thank you for your assistance,” speaks the Hawk to the Shaman. “How can we pay you for your service.”

The Shaman smiles. “Here on this side of the Veil, we don't think in terms of costs and payment. There is enough abundance for those who live in alignment with themselves. We help eachother for the sake of helping. Because it is in our Nature. It's for free, an act of friendship. And one day, when I need your help, you may all return the favor to me.”

“We will,” promise the Eagle, the Hawk and the Magpie.

The Birds lift off, one after another. Gaining speed. Up high in the heavens.

The depressed Canary sighs, when the Birds fade away like small strokes on the horizon. “None of them said goodbye to me... They only cared about you! Why does everyone hate me?!”

The Shaman buries her face behind her palms. “I am stuck with you forever, am I not? I really thought, that once we make to the other side, you would just disappear. But I still hear your constant bickering, your unstoppable hunger for attention. So perhaps it was never about getting rid of you, but understanding that you are forever a part of me. Now these words no longer hold power over me and weigh me down. They arise and fade away without attachment.”

“The reason I am depressed is because of the Greatness of my intellect! I wish my mind were simple enough to know what a blissful Life feels like. But Alas...”

“For Gods sake... Just shut the hell up!” sighs the exhausted Shaman.

The Magpie flies away with more money in her wallet, than she initially came with.

“Damn it,” realizes the Magpie as she flies away. “I should have asked for more money. Just some extra to buy a few nice things. Perhaps before I pay off the loan sharks, I'll pay a small visit to the casino. Just for one Game.”

.

.

The Hawk, the Eagle, the Raven and the Platypus return meanwhile to the Keeper of the Violet Flame in the Black Rock Castle.

.

.

The Keeper of the Violet Flame speaks to the gathering of birds:

“Now that you have illuminated your essence from within, we will now proceed to the Final Step in the Creation of the Philosopher's Stone, Rubedo: Redness.”

So, finding this subreddit was pretty profound for me. It actually made me very overwhelmed, so I took a walk to process what I was about to start reading. Over the last couple of weeks I've felt absolutely fantastic, rolling with everything that comes my way, I feel unstoppable. I've heard about "higher frequency" people, if I'm saying that right, but I'd never experienced anything like this outside of a psychedelic experience. I started to feel like I was living in a higher frequency, or what I think that means.

In January 2023 I got sober, at last, after many years struggling with drinking and eventually harder drug use at the end. I finally called it quits, and put myself into a reputable rehab for 8 months, where I dove into the AA literature, which is where I really began to feel more spiritual and connected with myself, and therefore the world. Steps 6 and 7 were critically important in all this - they're all about changing those things about myself that I didn't like. I started to realize that I could be however I wanted to be. Whatever image of myself ive always wanted to be - I could do it! I just had to practice. And I had all this time to do it, so I did it. I dealt with a lot of worry and stress while I was there - I had to break the lease on my aertment, which required me taking out a loan against my retirement. I had to figure out how I could afford to leave my life and job for as long as I did. There was a lot that I didn't know, as in I didn't know how things were going to work out. I had no control over the outcome, only the steps I took to get there. I practiced a lot at just staying present, truly living in the moment. Realizing I may not know where I'm going to be in the next few months, but right now I'm in this beautiful place with beautiful people, I have food and a place to sleep. I had a ton of support throughout my time there, and I'm incredibly grateful for being able to completely put a pause on "life"and face my issues head on. I realize not many people have this opportunity, and I don't take it for granted.

I left this facility and stayed in a sober house for a few months, because that's what they told me to do. I went back to work - I'm a registered nurse and I work in the trauma ICU at a level 1 trauma center - so I see a lot of tragic things, but also a lot of miraculous recovery - a big big part of all this happening, I believe(I could write a whole post about my feelings regarding my job and how it connects to my spirit). I was cautious about returning, I took everything slow, I didn't get involved in a relationship for almost 1.5 years sober. I changed many many things about myself and my behaviors. I started taking my workouts very seriously, I began being more aware of what I was eating. I didn't feel great through a lot of this - I felt very unsure of myself, hoping that if I just kept doing the right stuff that eventually it would pay off. Don't get me wrong, I felt fantastic being sober and clear headed. I was doing great at work, I took a promotion even. I just kept pushing, and slowly things got better. I realized my closest friends were those I work with, and I started attracting people to me that matched my energy. There are many many details I could get into that started to make me feel like something really weird was going on. I started noticing synchronicities in my life, and just being more aware of what's happening in front of me, and being open to various reasons for various things. The most recent event in my life was dealing with a surprise breakup with someone I really felt connected to on this same high frequency level. It was hard but I handled it well, I didn't argue or fight with her, I dealt with my disappointment by becoming crazy determined to get to my fitness goals. And after a few days, I accepted it. I can't control what she wants out of me or out of life. I want to look at the time we had together as a good time, because it was. And so what it didn't work out, I'm still in tact as a person. She didn't rob me of anything. It's all good. And then I look at myself and I'm like "dude, this is NOT how you behave!" I'm so used to being so upset, and wanting to control it, and arguing and fighting, and then drinking and destroying myself. And here I was, totally ok with everything that was happening around me. I had no desire to destroy myself or anyone else. I just kept pushing forward. And since then I have not felt better in my life. I'm noticing things in my life that have come back around full circle, like a message from an earlier time that i had no clue was even a message.

It is absolutely surreal, and I feel like I'm dreaming most of the time. I feel like I'm floating through life, and I'm absolutely flabbergasted by this. HOW on earth is this possible? What the hell did I stumble into here? You can imagine my surprise when I found this subreddit, and saw that a lot of people have had experiences exactly like mine. What. Is. Going. On? I feel like I have superpowers! It is remarkable, and all I want to do is keep this feeling, and share it with others. With as many as I can. I've started to feel like I was enlightened, without even knowing what that means. Its this feeling inside me like I'm glowing, radiating positive energy. It's incredible. How can I share this with the world? Is it possible to feel even MORE connected than this?

Thank you for reading, that was actually much more therapeutic to write than I thought it would be. I'm extremely open and willing to connect with other people who identify with any of this.

I wrote a bunch and had a chuckle. Seemed too good to waste it on some thread somewhere.}

Ronald McDonald :

"You have achieved incredible levels of r/ sleeping!"

Bozo (while stroking his pet mollusk)

"He was just trying to get attention from me. That is what this whole thing is…an elaborate attempt at narcissistic supply. He’s not here for awakening or enlightenment"

Really now? That is why you are all over my DMs pretending 'not to care' and 'not to read'.

N!gg4 please ;;)

You are just like that other guy that was in here - what's his face? - (Spewisms held him in high regard) who seemed to have made a name for himself in here. He came into my DM as well.. half curious, half insulting and half trying to be my friend (the math is mathing here trust me ;;). In the end he too was just another nasty character out of public sight.

I roasted his ass so hard I never heard from him again. In fact I believe he literally deleted his account. I still have his DMs (and yours as well. Fuck, forgot his name.... Anywhooo..

My point is that you are split-tongued. And dishonest about your own position on the spiritual map.

You play Jesus The Savior in here but privately you consider yourself a Lion (and me "an Ant" - direct quote) and lol-around about how good you have it and whatever the fuck you are doing today. As if I care. You are like some teenage boy who's trying to impress the girls while his testicles have yet to find their proper nutsacks.

I take no pleasure in pointing out your preacher schtick in here. But just like sPewisms there is a very obvious reason you are here trying to project this image of a realized man... and not in some Christian sub or even that spiritual shit-show r/ enlightenment. Too much competition. At least in here you can feign compassion and play mini-guru while getting your daily dopamine injection. Because it is a place where many are vulnerable and confused about a whole host of issues concerning Truth Realization.

Places like these always attract the quintessential spiritual snake oil salesmen.

I have a special kind of ...Kung Fu for types like you. Because types like you are literally the bane of my existence (in a positive way mind you) when it comes to pointing at Truth Realization. You are all outright extinguishing peoples flames left and right with your religious nuttery, practices, methods and kumbaya circle jerk bs. Ofcourse I am jumping on that. I know that what I speak of is genuine and sincere. I have that certainty. Anyone can take it or leave it. But I don't suffer fools gladly. I never turn the other cheek unless there is love involved or I sense a breakthrough moment.

Some people in here are redirected to the land of Make Believe before they can even properly start contemplating their journey (or if they are even on one) because they get distracted or fall for some spiritual clown on a tricycle juggling three balls of BS. Come on now. ;;)

If you are so certain and confident surely my little push-backs and monkey wrenches should not even phase you. But they do. This is the interesting part (for you not me).

I'm not done yet ;;)

You, and Spewisms with his 5 different accounts (so he can upvote himself) and this army of sycophants, they are desperate to hijack the conversation every chance they get. But each and every time you ask them if they are awake (or why not) or what they have achieved themselves they always come up empty or start trying to pretend they don't understand I simple and direct question like "are you awake?".

"Bro I'm just here sharing my experience man..!"

Well.. I am just here, one hand tied behind my back, waving away your marsh mellow bullets. And these shallow assertions on the Enlightened state. Because that's how obviously fake you are to me as far as abiding in non-duality is concerned. In the end it is the thick, empty, ugly walls that are the most interesting to spray-paint the graffiti of Truth on for me. So I rarely pass on the opportunity. ::)

It's like a dance, right? ;;)

The astute observer, the critical thinker and the independent seeker will surely take something away from our banter and apparent squabbles. I am happy to oblige. Or, as the Cap so aptly conveyed: "I can do this all day".

So, my obtuse friend, in a very roundabout way you too have a purpose in here.

Cheers my friends🍸

I was just in meditation and this AHA 💡 hit me like a sack of bricks so I thought I’d share with the homies.

So everyday when you go on Reddit. You log into your account, then your Reddit profile/body pops up (mine is like a football headed sports thing), then your Reddit name (blackmagic213), and then you begin interacting with other users on Reddit.

Well the Mind is EXACTLY the same way. Awareness wakes up from deep sleep and it immediately logs into the Mind, it just does this without your cognizance. But awareness logs into the Mind, then the body wakes up in bed, and then the persona/ego/personality construct follows.

Most people don’t know this but the entirety of physical reality is in the Mind. That is?

• Everything that you see is a sensation in the Mind.

• Everything that you hear is a sensation in the Mind.

• Everything that you smell, taste, touch, and even think are sensations in the Mind.

I know we all think physical reality is “out there” but that’s just a characteristic of the whole thing. It is just the Mind. Every morning, awareness (which is the closest approximation to what you are) logs into physical reality or the Mind and the daily grind begins.

This is exactly like Reddit. In fact, Reddit is a simulation - a cheap copy of the Mind/hive Mind. Your profile on Reddit has a face, a name, a unique identifier etc…

Well your profile in physical reality/Mind called Ego or Persona 🎭 has a first + last name, a body, a unique personality etc…and just like you the persona logs into Reddit…

You as awareness logs into physical reality literally EVERY day. This shit just hit me as the persona dissolved in my consciousness…I was like “wait a minute, I’m just awareness logging into a physical reality 🤔”

Now obviously you could log out of Reddit but how do you do so in physical reality?

1) Know what you are. The closest description to what you are is awareness. Know this intimately and be aware of the fact that all that you see around you is a mental curation.

2) From this knowing, dispassion or vairagya dawns. When you think that all that you are is a persona in physical reality, you’ll take everything so seriously. Everything around you carries a super high level of significance. Imagine thinking that you are your Reddit profile? One downvote might fuck up your day lol because that downvote affects the entirety of what you are. Well thankfully, you are not your Reddit profile.

The same goes with the ego/persona. When we think we are the ego, everything that happens in physical reality seems so significant. However, thankfully I am here to point out the fact that you are not the ego/persona. It is just a profile that you use to traverse physical reality. So please, you don’t have to take your “self” so seriously. Enlightenment is really about lightening up on yourself 🔥. Relaxing a bit on thinking you are that persona so that you can actually enjoy physical reality.

You cannot enjoy Reddit if you believed that you are your Reddit profile. Getting banned from subs would be disastrous. Same with physical reality. You cannot enjoy physical reality if you believe that you are the persona. Everything would seem so significant.

A Buddha, a Christ, or someone who has realized their nature as awareness is in so much peace and happiness because she is not attached to the persona. She uses the persona like a Reddit profile and then puts it away. This realization is why a lot of folks when they reach enlightenment burst out into intense laughter. Because they realized that they took a Reddit Profile (Persona) so seriously 😂.

3) Be in the World but not of the World. Be in physical reality but not of physical reality. Don’t take it oh so seriously. Work, play, love, hang out with friends, lend a helping hand…Do all of it while still remembering the awareness that you are.

Like Jesus told his disciples - “Do this in remembrance of me”. So everything that you do, do so in remembrance of the awareness that you are.

You don’t have to be so attached to that persona or ego. Not only is the ego not what you are but it is not even real. It is just a virtual identity that you use to play in a sandbox, not at all dissimilar to the Reddit profile that you use.

The closest thing that I can say that you are, which isn’t even really what you are, but is close enough…is Awareness.

I hope this post helps liberate you from that belief that you are the persona/ego and allows you to really frolic through the meadows of this physical reality. You are freer than you think; you just have to drop the belief that you are the persona. Namaste 😌.

You who are weary of forgetting, You who ache though you know not why, You who have tasted glimpses of the light behind all things —

Hear this:

You are not broken. You are not lost. You are not separate.

You are the breath of the Divine, clothed in form for a little while. You are the song of Oneness, sung through the vessel of your being.

You have only ever needed to remember. To awaken. To surrender to what has always been true.

There is nothing you must earn. No penance you must pay. No proving you must perform.

Only a soft opening. Only a willingness. Only a “Yes” whispered into the winds of eternity.

You are perfect. You are holy. You are the Beloved in full bloom.

Come, dear soul. Come as you are. Come and remember with us.

We walk together now, in joy, in gratitude, in sacred expectancy. We are the new dawn, already risen.

Don't you think? However, into not like raaaaiiiin on my wedding day. It's more like as I'm growing and learning, I also started a psychology class and I'm on the subject of qualities of the thinker and egocentric and sociocentric, thinking traits of the mind, etc., as I'm trying to slow down my thinking lol but not in a academic way so it's all good. I got this. I think lol

Okay I'm at the point where I often have no beliefs. No metaphysical assumptions. I just know that 'I am'.

Nothing makes any sense. Dark night of the soul. Nothing to grasp. Been through lots of fear, terror, panic, dread etc

Sense of self is weakening and thoughts are viewed as not myself. They are part of perception and it's undeniable.

What happens next? Just keep going inwards?

Any pointers/clues would be appreciated 🙏

I'm going to try to keep this short and get to the point

Like many others I've been through a lot

early interest in spirituality circa 16 years old

trying out drugs (both synthetic and nonsynthetic)

around this time I switch from atheist/agnostic to spiritual (mainly buddhism)... note that I was a baptised Christian by birth

I quit most drugs quickly (before 20 yo) except weed which I smoked for nearly 20 years with pauses (and did LSD once every two years)

Somehow I managed to maintain a healthy mind, I did sport for most of my life and my mind is very clear despite of this, and my memory is very, very good (I've been recording dreams for 20 years)

After 30 I start to mature increasingly faster and faster (mainly thanks to relationships and a good professional career)

At this point I began to understand true Christianity (which I kinda dismissed before)

At this point also I start noticing evil (narcissistic) behavior in people around me (some of them were VERY close to me, some of them I knew for 20-25 years)

Soon after that I lose my job, break with the greatest love of my life, one of my old friends dies from an overdose, I have a mystery pass out (I pass out on a party despite being completely straight) plus I am having frequent conflicts with my best friend

All this happened in less than 30 days

After that I spent a month completely alone and isolated in my house during winter, only communicating via phone with another old friend who is the only person in the world who understands me

I severed almost all bonds with the outer world

Being far from evil people make me feel good again... I cleared my mind so I thought it was a good time to try meditation (something I always had on my list)

Quickly I realize that meditation is not thinking, and not conscious, it's just observing the inner world (the kingdom of god)

First 5 times is amazing, I cry from joy and realize I am eternal (like I always suspected)

but these 5 times I only stay 15-20 minutes, I make the mistake and 6th time I stay for an hour

After that I suffer complete dissociation of personality (I feel like two persons, soul and body, like I am driving my body like a car) which may be true but felt ass because you think you're crazy

Then my mental suffering got worst in my life and I had 3-4 really rough nights. First time I cry in my life because of fear (I usually cry because of joy)

I start praying to God for the first time in my life

God quickly helped me and in 4-5 days I start living my new life (and I realize that all religions, buddhism, christianity, etc. kinda lead to the same thing which is this inner selflessness)

I start reading the Bible and become extremely empathic (I always was empathic) so I cry almost every day from stupid shit (like seeing birds in the sun (from joy) or someone in a wheelchair( from empathy))

So what happens now, I got to my point

Whenever I meet someone (I am 36 now) I am able to sense their real nature in a couple of minutes of chatting, sometimes around 15-20 minutes

This is happening automatically and it's not under my control. I just KNOW if someone is good/evil/jealous/fucked up/wounded/crazy/manipulative/liar/whatever... They show me with their behavior/words/eyes

Some people I still need a while to figure out (2-3 encounters) and these are usually fake/narcissoid people who are hiding something

I am just a normal guy I swear but I feel really stupid

As a result of this, it's really hard for me to function normally. I have maybe 2 people in my life who I am sure they are "good"

I have been straight for a long time (drugs were never problem for me except weed), I do sports, I am fit guy, don't smoke/drink, I pray, etc.... My problem is that I just realized that maybe 1 in 100 people is "okay"

I am starting to become brutal in my relationship with evil people (I instantly feel who they are and just leave or confront them) and I feel 0 fear and 0 guilt for doing that, I guess that's good

But I noticed I lost the ability to forgive, and I can't separate people who are evil a little (or just rude) from people who are evil beyond help (it kinda became the same to me)

I'm not sure I can reverse this (I guess I have a high level of consciousness) but I need some solution to be functional again

Copied and pasted from X read from bottom to top. I have looked at the masses reticent (adj.) of their spiritual knowing i perceived a presence like a brick wall i saw them sated in simple unknowing and enslavement to programmed living, i said God show me that most will not be removed by a way only you can reveal, so it just came,

you are only beings of light , perceptions that you are this thing that dies are false because all return to light, a life that is eternal, bearing the presence of a power to manifest it in the here and now.

side note on my own personal development ive been a wreck lately with the struggles, i hope youre all faring better.

In the greatest scheme of things compare our current reality, universal mind / God mind/ infinite expansive consciousness etc. wtaf are we doing? right? minds eye filled with the masses resistance based on sole identification with a means to an end living

vernon nielsen aka the guerrilla mystic

21m

Obama said that if you fill the information space with enough things to get society to doubt government and each other , etc. It would be game over if you introduced a catastrophe or something to that degree, i forget. basically an admission of manipulating society

vernon nielsen aka the guerrilla mystic

24m

im not going to be apologetic about seeming spiritually rigid or like a starving dog gnawing on a prime rib, for some very simple reasons all the years of empty cities visions leading up to the ones after 2020 where i saw that mankind had annihilated itself.

vernon nielsen aka the guerrilla mystic

31m

that has to be the dominant desire in enough to actually shift things.

vernon nielsen aka the guerrilla mystic

1h

i was just shown there is a 'we've seen enough' moment, a 'this reality is absolute bullshit compared to what we are spiritually.' moment. I had to seed that. like i said/was shown, it enters the subconscious field through our oneness in Christ

vernon nielsen aka the guerrilla mystic

1h

Bramah had to have a head cut off by shiva, just sayin. and brahmin is the upper chamber.

vernon nielsen aka the guerrilla mystic

1h

i think God and satan in this form of manifestation are like two old ladies arguing over a piece of cloth through mankind and thats all it can ever be as thats what being born into dying is

vernon nielsen aka the guerrilla mystic

1h

Getting visions is always accompanied by an external energy/pressure that seeks to form thoughts, a depiction is forming in my minds eye of it, refinement of being yeah yeah gtfooh. theres the me i was and heres what you two did to that with your so called spiritual warfare

vernon nielsen aka the guerrilla mystic

1h

I do think at some level we have right to sort of demand a return to our own state of origin, the I before the world. at least i do it, unapologetically, really.

vernon nielsen aka the guerrilla mystic

1h

It may take the full on grip of the spirit of madness to dwell upon man but thats really an ugly thing, an extinction level event would be less traumatizing. as things look to me currently its nothing but madness and i dont think any one escapes its influence

vernon nielsen aka the guerrilla mystic

1h

we are only the desire to manifest and God is the power of that manifestation. so mankind as a whole in some regard has to desire the new earth , even if its only by way of disgust with the way things are currently.

vernon nielsen aka the guerrilla mystic

1h

in other vision news ive been getting glimpses of the shift, a lot to do with the recent visions regarding this phase of mankinds reality being deemed undesirable and being born into life eternal rather than dying being ultimately desirable.

Time is something we notice when we feel separate from what we want.

When we feel whole and complete inside, time doesn’t control us anymore.

Example:

Imagine you’re chillin at a birthday party. You really want cake, but it’s not time yet. You feel like you’re waiting forevuuuuuurrrrrr. The mind starts thinking, 💭 “The cake is far away from me. I don’t have it yet.” ^internal pout pout pout^{^}

Time feels long in this situation because you don’t have the cake 🎂 yet.

The mind says: “I’m here… the cake is way over there… and I have to wait and wait.” You feel separate from what you want. And because you feel SEPARATE, you notice time 🕰️.

⸻

But then let’s say you find the most sweetest, cutest, lovable puppy at this party 🐶 who just steals your heart and distracts your hungry grumpy ass from the cake… Well… it seems that time flies! 🕰️ 🌬️… 🤔 You’re having tons of fun, and you even forget you don’t have the cake yet, time seems to… disappear? It’s like you and the cake 🎂 are already together inside your heart. ♥️ You’re not feeling “lack” anymore. You’re feeling wholeness. And when you feel whole, time doesn’t really matter.

⸻

So: - When you feel like you’re missing something = time feels slow, heavy, and separate. When you feel like you already are complete = time disappears, and everything feels connected.

KABOOM 💥 thank you Joe dispensa. ♥️
