Some people just want to feel better, but if you are sincere in your practice, it will bring stuff up and you have to be with whatever arises. Otherwise, it’s spiritual bypassing.

Here's an interesting excerpt from David Hawkin's book "Transcending the Levels of Consciousness" (published in 2006), where he basically lays out the pathology of leftist liberal woke ideology/ideas [including Marxism] as "lower levels of consciousness" with the disease of moral relativism, denial of God and normalizing pathologies such as pedophilia, "allowing for the acting out of rationalized animal instincts" [which we also see in pathological sexual fetishes that have become normalized, including non-binary gender identifications, Transgendersism, BDSM ["50 shades of Grey"]
....we also see it having infiltrated the Music and Entertainment [Hollywood] industry.], even up to New Age neo-tantric practices and neo-polarity teachings where hedonistic/animalistic sexual instinct/sexual addiction [most often due to occult entity attachments, since most people don't question where their sexual urges come from, to begin with] is covered up as "spirituality" or "sacred sex," etc.],
He also points out the leftist pathology of "feelings over facts" and that every decision is just "a matter of personal feeling" since "there is no absolute definition of right and wrong—only what you perceive to be right and wrong." [ties also to the fallacy that there is only "my" or "your" truth] and how these ideas have infiltrated universities, etc.:
---------
"At lower levels of consciousness, the mind is merely used as another weapon to enforce positionalities, control others, and allow for the acting out of rationalized animal instincts. The reason of the intellect can be distorted as rhetoric to serve emotional, egoistic goals rather than those that are integrous (e.g., the philosophies of relativism [cal. 180], or Marxism [cal. 130]). The distortion of truth to subserve positionalized agendas is characteristic of Lower (ego) Mind rather than Higher Mind (see Overview, Section II).
Lower mind substitutes narcissistic intellectualization for the disciplined dialectic of logical truth. The best example is the decline in the level of academia consequent to the corrosive inroads of ‘moral relativism', which is succinctly described in the following quotation from the Philadelphia Trumpet (June 2005):
Moral Relativism
Moral relativism is the belief that defining right and wrong is an individual and personal choice. Denying the presence of absolute law, this ideology teaches that every decision is a matter of personal feeling.
Moral relativism means that adultery, for example, is not objectively wrong. While I may believe that adultery is wrong and that it destroys marriages, you are ennoscriptd to believe it is right and strengthens a marriage. The same reasoning applies for murder, stealing, pedophilia, and every other facet of human life. With this ideology, there is no absolute definition of right and wrong—only what you perceive to be right and wrong.
This distorted principle has made great inroads into our universities. Created by secularists, moral relativism is a by-product of the evolutionist theory, which itself permeates university culture, especially the sciences. By denying the existence of God, the theory of evolution sowed the seeds of moral relativism. If there is no God, secularists reason, then there is no absolute law.
Using moral relativism as their weapon, liberal secularists can destroy any absolute law they desire. Even the laws that govern society can be destroyed. Most people recognize that American law, ideology, and morals are essentially governed by Judeo-Christian belief in the Ten Commandments. Since there is no God, according to secularists, then all we have are ten Suggestions; there is no law. With no absolute laws, defining right and wrong is a strictly personal matter.

This is why Ward Churchill, Harris Mirkin, and other secularist faculty members can espouse such ideologies as anti-Americanism and pedophilia. If a person doesn’t believe in absolute law, then he or she is not required to believe that pedophilia is wrong. Moral relativism destroys the law that defines right and wrong, moral and immoral.
These are a few examples of the immorality and moral relativism that pervade our universities. The idea that it is the individual’s responsibility to decide right and wrong is firmly entrenched in the minds of today’s university students."

WHY IT FEELS LIKE YOU’RE NOT CHANGING OR HEALING
Important caveat:
Your sincerity in wanting to know the truth about yourself is key.

Your sincerity in wanting to know the truth about yourself is key.
❤107🔥21👍5👏2
Some caveats...
- This doesn't mean that relationships aren’t important and to avoid them
- This doesn’t mean you don’t do your inner work to develop secure attachment and a healthy sense of self
- This doesn't mean to not try your best to not love ppl from where you are at
This means not place a premium on the ideal “romantic love” & realize that the longing for romantic love is actually a longing for the divine. It is a longing to feel a connection between your heart & God.
When you fill your cup your cup will runnenth over—then you will attract divine love by radiating that love yourself. And then you will look for places to pour that love, instead of seeking love externally to validate you.
The truth is romantic love is temporary. Romantic love will turn into a more calm stable love over time. Many will leave relationships when “the romance are over”, like a drug addict chasing its next hit.
But they don’t realize the drug they are seeking is not in a person… it’s in a connection to the divine.🤍

“One of the hardest Work ideas to understand is the claim that, as we are, we are not a unified being inside, a single “I” always and everywhere the same, but a multitude of “i’s” inside, a self divided, fragmented into dozens, even hundreds, of fractious, competing, warring “i’s”, each with its own agenda, tone, mood, and beliefs. It is impossible to understand this right away in any way except intellectually.
I believe I am one, whole, undivided and I am constructed in such a way psychologically that the truth of my inner state is impossible for me to see. Psychology has labeled such a state schizophrenia and called it mental illness. Yet it is the state of the entire humanity; everyone I have ever met, without exception, suffers from this inner state.”

There is a hyped trend in the “fringe truther community” over the past few years, claiming that the “tunnel of light is a trap” after death and the idea that reincarnation is an alien soul harvesting trap. I’ve addressed both of these paranoid fringe ideas in this article a few years ago since people keep asking me about it.

Piercing the Veil of Reality
Soul Evolution, Universal Laws, and Karma in The Body
Many inter-related factors come into play based on everyone’s individual soul evolutionary journey; too much and too complex for the mind to understand. The mind and ego always look for reasons and justifications, dividing experiences into “good” and “bad.”

All personality disorders and symptoms have their roots in trauma most often originating in childhood. The coping mechanisms we create are what helped us survive. The question you want to ask is, what happened to the person that made them develop this coping mechanism?

When you realize that you can’t depend on someone else for happiness and that no one will rescue you from your pain, that is part of the maturation process of depression. It also ties into Saturn in astrology and its representation of depression and maturation.

The Way of Transformation
“Only to the extent that man exposes himself over and over again to annihilation, can that which is indestructible arise within him. In this lies the dignity of daring.
Thus, the aim of (spiritual) practice is not to develop an attitude which allows a man to acquire a state of harmony and peace wherein nothing can ever trouble
him.
On the contrary, practice should teach him to let himself be assaulted, perturbed, moved, insulted, broken and battered - that is to say, it should enable
him to dare to let go his futile hankering after harmony, surcease from pain, and a comfortable life in order that he may discover, in doing battle with the forces that oppose him, that which awaits him beyond the world of opposites.
The first necessity is that we should have the courage to face life, and to encounter all that is most perilous in the world.
When this is possible, meditation itself
becomes the means by which we accept and welcome the demons which arise
from the unconscious, a process very different from the practice of concentration on some object as a protection against such forces.
Only if we venture repeatedly through zones of annihilation can our contact with Divine Being, which is beyond annihilation, become firm and stable.
The more a man learns whole-heartedly to confront the world that threatens him with isolation, the more are the depths of the Ground of Being revealed and the possibilities of New Life and Becoming opened.”
by Karlfried Gras von Durkheim

THE WAR BEHIND THE WAR
1/2
'Behind the evolutionary earth-scene there are typal worlds fixed in a certain order and harmony of their own. These worlds are of darkness as well as of light. There is no progress on their own levels, they are content with their own types, possessing their peculiar nature fully expressed and deploying it in diverse fashions. But that contentment with full self-play does not preclude their desire to extend the play of their satisfaction from the occult to the material. They make the earth-scene their battlefield. And, as the earth-scene starts with an involution of the Divine, a concealment of the Spirit, the occult worlds of darkness find an easier role than those of light. "On the black rock of the Inconscience" they build their edifices with greater immediate success.
That is why evolution is not only aeonic but chockful of stupendous setbacks, demolitions of half-achieved good, perversions of delicately established beauty. That is why man in spite of his Godward urge makes so little advancement and centuries see him but grandiosely shifting from tweedledum to tweedledee, remaining pitifully the same in his heart under all variations of outer form. That is why every truth gets twisted in the long run and becomes actually a species of untruth, religion grows an obscurantist blight and art a decadent saturnalia, philosophy a riot of sophisms, and politics a huge machinery for exploiting the many in the interests of the few. O so slow is the journey of the Gods! Always the path is clogged and broken by jagged masses of influence from mysterious worlds where brutality and blindness are the principles on which existence is founded in a non-evolving immutable mould.
Three kinds of beings dwell in the hideous harmony of those worlds. The Indian terms are: Asura, Rakshasa, Pishacha. In English they may be translated: Titan, Giant, Demon. Each has his special function. The Asura is a being who comes with great powers of thought, not a beautiful and systematic turn but a formidable vehemence of it. He has also great "moral" powers, he can be self-controlled, ascetic and chaste in his own life, a sort of inverted Yogi, but all his gifts of tapasyā he uses for selfish and violent ends. His aim is to pluck civilisation from the roots, destroy all humane and progressive impulse, regiment the spontaneous diversity of life into a ruthless movement of robots, drink the exultation of triumph by breaking with an iron heel the dreaming heart of man. The Rakshasa is a devourer without brains, the ravager who builds nothing save a pyramid of skulls. He ploughs up the world into a myriad graves and leaves it a chaos of corpses. He is pure greed run amok. The Pishacha fouls and pollutes all things, he is the wallower in dirt and the necrophage, the inventor of obscene tortures, the mutilating maniac. The Asura is the General, the Führer of the army of darkness; the Rakshasa is the lieutenant, the henchman; the Pishacha is the private, the storm-trooper.
They are no symbols or imaginary figures by which man visualises his own imperfections and evil instincts. Rather the evil instincts are the signs in him of the subtle presence of powers and personalities that have their habitat in non-human and preternatural spheres. It is because these spheres are of a perverse bliss in which the wry, the cruel and the filthy are hideously harmonised for ever to yield enjoyment, that man feels a pleasure in his own baseness, an attachment to his crookedness and suffering, a reluctance to give up his blindness and lust in spite of all the misery his higher self sees and feels in them - a reluctance as if blindness and lust were things to be cherished, precious components of the life-drama, indispensable art-elements of the cosmic scheme.
But man's love of the base and the torturesome becomes not just one part of his nature but almost his whole being when the Asura, with his attendant Rakshasa and Pishacha, so clutches human nature that it becomes one with that occult and rigid reality.

“One difficulty in particular is of a very "conscious" nature, hindering the new world like a massive bronze door. It is not our materialism, as we so often imagine – for scientists, if they are sincere, may be the first to emerge in the Truth – but the enormous spiritual carapace under which we have buried the Spirit. The real mischief of the devil is not to sow falsehood and hatred in the world, such as Attila or the Nazis have done – he is far too clever for that – but to lay hands on a grain of truth and then to twist it ever so slightly. Nothing is more intractable than a perverted truth, because the falsehood is made that much stronger by the power of truth it contains.
If we wish to remedy this Imbalance – for everything that lacks balance in our bodies, our societies, or our cosmic cycles eventually perishes – we must become lucid. We have lost the Password; such is the bottom line of our era. We have replaced true power with devices, and true wisdom with dogmas. This is the reign of the gnomes, on every plane. And it will become more and more a reign of gnomes, unless we relinquish these mortifying half-truths, from above or below, and immerse ourselves in the true Source, within, to recover the practical secret of the Spirit in Matter.”
